Why do admins nd 15 rep power?

[jrh2002]

Lol exactly - at the end of the day they can try and kid on there mr pop'z wif there rep haha - but it's quite clear from the backlash that their just not.



Exactly jrh. Because you know yourself that it isn't fair how there seems to be double standards issues by certain people - which also just happen to be in favour of those individuals. :rolleyes: Don't get me wrong, I know a lot of admins won't even bother about rep or anything at all and jrh you are probably one of the only decent admins there is atm. However, I just cannot understand why mad and nvr who are so for this groundbreaking, absolutely fantasticly brilliant new policy - aren't willing to follow it themselves?!

What I really don't understand though - is why this new system is still being carried out? It's quite clear MAD isn't actually interested in what the users of this forum want. Maybe it's time he actually realised it is the people of the forum these changes are supposed to be for - and the fact that 4 out of 5 people voted against it and it still happened isn't very reassuring in my opinion. This is like Tony Blair all over again... haha

To be honest I don't care about the reputation turning it off is not my best idea but making everybody have 1 as their rep power forever would work then you get nice comments for your posts, you build up a reputation score and no competition who has the most green blocks. The change had to happen and the fuss made over it just shows how important these stupid green blocks are to everybody.

Don't start me on tony blair lol the only good thing is how hes stitched up his mate by leaving at the right time haha

he didn't lie. they don't get the reputation as pay. they get it as more of a "Thank You, you do this voluntarily so here have the rep"

your post is completely stupid and immature. please understand the things your saying before you say them next time thanks

Xiangu

He said he should get something back, but volunteers dont get anything back.

Lol well maybe MAD could follow in his footsteps then... :rolleyes:

To be perfectly honest with you, I couldn't care less if I personally had red rep haha and had none at all. The only reason I am involved is due to the principle of the matter - that for some reason there seems to be certain rules for 'normal members' but a completely different standard for admins. If it's the case in terms of reputation why not just let admins post adult pics and avoid the filter - I mean you may aswell have a different set of rules completely if your going to do it with certain ones.

Seeing as there are still several members on here that have higher rep powers than the admins I think 15 is fine.
When admins had 10 power no one actually had more than them but as people's powers got higher the admins one had to go higher.

I guess admins have a default power 'cause they need to show their authority in some way? It get's done on all forums...

[-:Undertaker:-]

Management continuously bleat about 'how it had to happen' no it didn't, the large majority prefers the old repututation system and you changed it without asking their opinions, especially when the members have PAID for it.

They have to show their authority some way? There was me thinking the purpose of admins was to help keep the forum running smoothly and to bring in us new changes and policies which would benefit our community as a whole and please the community. Sorry - I'm forgetting it's all just a matter of power here as your post has quite clearly shown.

Why did admins power have to increase though just because other users got more than them? It really does just show that you can't accept not being the top dog for some reason as though not having the most reputation points is in some way going to affect you or your ability to administrate the forum effectively. Your reputation is absolutely irrelevant and does not assist you in any of your administration duties - and there is therefore no reason why you need to ensure you guys have more than anyone else.

This isn't a matter of who has the most rep here --ss-- which I think you fail to understand. Just because other people have more rep than some admins still does not mean that it justifies the actions.

Could MAD or someone with a bit of knowledge please finally answer me the one question I have repeatedly been asking throughout this thread:-

If it is such a brilliant idea then why will the administrators not practice what they preach - rather than enforcing a rule upon people who have shown they do not want it?!

I doubt I will get a logical reason - simply because there isn't one other than what --ss-- has admitted himself... The admins are just far too afraid they're losing their grip on us so obviously feel that by bringing our reputation right now whilst making sure they still have the highest amount will erm, 'show their authority'.

Lol I must say - brilliant post --ss--... Basically sums up the whole attitude that so many admins seem to have (minus a few) and the current roles upon this forum... authority. :rolleyes:

The person who had the idea to allow buying rep was wrong and looking back I wish I never gave rep for buying vip. The rep system is a total mess. I have seen how the rep system is being abused and its mainly by the high rep people so yes it did have to happen. I could be all nice about it and say I care what the members think on this issue but personally I dont and as far as I am concerned if they dont like it they know where the door is. of course this is my own personal opinion and not the one taken by habboxforum.com and other management.

Your your right, the reputation system is a mess now.

Well seeing as the admins do alot for the forum including helping people , making sure everything works etc They deserve something in return as without them the forum would fall apart.
I can guarantee that 99% of all forums you will visit (Well Habbo ones atleast) will have admins with a set high rep power and in some cases they are generally high, When I said it shows authority I was generalizing all forums not just Habbox.

Looking back there are lots of things that shouldnt have happened over the years. There was talk of the whole rep system starting over or being turned off. It has been a total mess and some stupidly high rep powers for one reason or another. By making it harder to gain rep it was a good idea and the only issue I can see is that people lost rep power which i do understand is annoying. You still have your rep points you gained just everybody has lost power apart from admins but I dont care if they put us level with every other member or not but personally I would like to have mine at what it would be for my posts. On the other hand while people have been gaining rep by posting I probably have more posts in the staff forums than on the main forum over the years I would like my rep points adding for my posts that were taken away by removing post count from staff forums or at least the serious staff forums.
