Reputation Power

[Nemo]

HI!

Is it true that at one time you could buy reputation on here? I'm sure someone said that in a post on here, might be getting confused with another forum.

This is true.

This is true.

I can imagine that being quite popular back then but I doubt it would ever be introduced again as many would argue that reputation needs to be earned and not bought. Well at least I would.

You'd think it was, but not really. I can only ever remember one person buying it and everyone laughed at them, so meh.

That's a good point, what about for every X months you are VIP/Donator you get +1 rep point.

That and the management keep saying that the forum is getting quieter, where is the incentive to get referrals? +1 rep point for 10 referrals?

i think you may be getting confused between rep points and rep power.

+1 rep power would be insane for 10 referals

No, I am certainly not getting confused.

It was a suggestion, it could be 50 or something.

10 rep points per referral would be quite good. I mean for most competitions nowadays getting 50 points is top prize so pretty fair eh?

I'll soon be one to get THREE rep points from posts

or get people with massive rep powers on ur side. Hallo.

That hasn't been a good idea since like 2007 lol

Nah if you bought rep everyone hated you basically, I think it was just this kid called Kyle who openly did it a lot. Chirs and Shane from KKK bought rep but both deny it

Init that'd basically mean that making up 10 fake accounts and linking them with your name is somehow as worthy of reward as entering and winning 8 comps lol

So how did you come to get a rep power of 29 lol? Rep power just seems so hard to get, you have 29 times the amount of mine and I know for a fact that in 4 years down the line which is the same as you the most I'd probably have is about 5 or 6... You must of been liked by people with a lot of rep?

People just generally used to rep a lot more back in the day, this meant more people had more rep + that means that people went up rep power quicker since everyone was reppin each other lots.

I think 2500 posts is good for 1 rep power. Maybe make a poll which will show what everyone thinks?
