It just doesn't make any sense!
I see your point to a degree, but quit being such a bitch. You have a punch power of 60 and a rep of nearly 5K based on 10k posts. Most quality posters have a rep to post rate of about 1:3. Yours is almost 1:2. Why does it matter one bit? Everybody knows that you, Gamo, Mick, Sheep (who has been largely inactive lately, VD, and Gorilla, and a handful of others are saddo legends and staples of this site. If you need some magic number to validate that, it's pretty sad. Please move out of your mothers hobbit hole and get some self-esteem;)
I don't hear Taeth bitching about his rep or power, and he's one of the most interesting posters on the site and at one time, he was one of the most active. I've been around since 2005 and I had 10 CC's for every 1 SC before the switch, and I'm punching like a Flyweight right now. Do I give a damn? No.
The only problem is that people who suck up to guys with high PP's can get their own reps up too soon, but with Saddo's new system where you have give a smaller amount of reps, it's nobodys fault except the longtime, hardcore members if they inflate newbie's too high too soon. People with 20+ punchpower need to thing twice before they throw full rep to newbs and they should make a point to boost up the reps of the people they feel deserve it. You can't go around using the new system like we used CC's and SC's. It's not the system, it's they way users are handling the system.
And FYI, not all 1000 post are equal. Some people constantly post very short, insignificant posts and rack up their number very quickly. If you were to take the total number of my words in 975 posts, or whatever I have, you would find that I've contributed more to this site than a heck of a lot of people with twice the posts. Who gives a rat's ass? The posters who matter know and respect my posts and that's all that matters to me.
I'm not whining for myself! I have a great reputation!
It's for all the others that I'm raising this point, for people like Taeth and Big H and YOU for example who had great reputations before but who have lost them because they havn't been so active since we had the new system!!!
If under the new system you had a great reputation and now you don't then this new system has failed you to some degree, would you not agree?
It's not a big deal in the scheme of things but I'm just trying to help make the site the fairest it can be for everyone.
Why call me a bitch? I'm trying to do what's right for everybody, it doesn't benefit me in the slightest?
Sorry, man, I was drunk and trying to be funny. I wasn't being serious, at least about you being a bitch, and I'm sorry if it came off that way. I know I PM'd you most of this, I wanted to issue a public apology.
I do agree with you mostly, but in all seriousness, I was trying to raise the point that the rep doesn't really doesn't matter much in the greater scheme of things. The old system had flaws, too, especially the random, anonomous sad click. Example - Violent Demise had a horrible CC/SC rating because he pisses people off, but he's a good poster and valuable member of the site. Same with Taeth, I think. Everybody on the site knows they are good posters. People with strong/contraversial opinions often suffered. God help you if you criticized Hatton or the Klitchkos! Bring on the SC's. Of my sad clicks on the old system, I think maybe 2 people had the balls to post why they SC's me.
I do think all the heavy hitters need use there punch power more wisely ie Gorilla and the prediction contest, but that comes down to individuals. It would be great if you were to beat to drum for individual posters with big PP's to not artifically boost up newbs to quick. Also, I think the "spread it around" is a bit annoying at times, because sometimes a person has good run of posts and I should be able to reward them again without finding excused to give rep just for sake of giving rep.
But still, who cares? We all know who the good posters are. I wouldn't care if they stopped the whole system all together. I don't need to see a rep number to tell me who knows about boxing.
Re: Some evidence for my 'this new rep system is flawed' theory
5 times my rep of me bilbo?! it must be flawed! :P
To be honest I'm not all that bothered about post counts etc... that's why I haven't chased my old one back up but there was nothing wrong with cool clicks and I still type 'cc' instead of rep a lot of the time... ;)

I just miss the old coolclicks, it was something entirely unique to Saddo's and had a proud tradition :(
