This rep system is fookin shit, I've had enough

Just over a week ago I had nearly the most reps on this site, interchanging with Pac, and Pac, and Pac, and Pac...

Now after a week's not posting I am dumped to wherever the hell I am now. I look and I see some short green person I don't even know has more then me ?

What is the point of this crappy system. It`s Utter bullshit!

I mean, a ban can happen to anyone. So I thought it might be a good idea to send Mick and Saddo and all the mods pics of me striking ODLH poses in panties, fishnets, boxing gloves and high heels, and sure, that didn't go so well. I got a weeks ban. Could happen to anyone. BUT WHAT THE HELL...no one can rep me when I am banned?!?!

This system is so broke that if someone decided to take a vacation like I did, and go to the Himalaya mountains for a week hunting Yeti, they would come back and find themselves not even in the top 10!!

Actually he could drop much further as the points will multiply ever faster. And imagine if say one of the Pac accounts left, or OMGZ all of them!!!

Pretty soon some of you will be having a batrilyazillion and into the quazijillions...

I wouldn`t even have known had I not contacted my dog via flugal horn whilst hunting, and asked him go read Saddoboxing and tell me where the rep was.

I`ve cancelled my holidays from the abyss where I saw ghosts that once haunted the halls of this fine place. I think I ever saw Daxx, interviewing a Yeti or atleast a very hairy Hindu man.

So therefore I`ve been forced to come back because this rep system sucks and so do you all!

haha good parody little buddy I must admit I did smile as I passed you on the rankings board this week.

You'll notice of course that I, Bilbo Baggins of the Shire am number 1 again, my clan Baggins alliance has been succesful in propelling me back into the big time.

I can help you with your reps young man. Just grab a costume avatar of your choice from Dizasters (Boromir's) thread and join the Baggins Clan.

We'll get your reps back to where they should be.......i.e near the top but below me :)

How was the real world Youngblood?

Firstly, Bilbo suck my nut...I knew you past me, my dog told me. I cried a little but am over it now, sorta...:banllama: (I jokes)

Booze, the real world is good. Managed to get the crappiest part time job there is other then delivering papers. Dollarama shelf stocking haha. It's good though, 1 shift = 2 weeks worth of $$ delivering papers to inbred unappreciative morons who don't tip. Thanks for asking! :)

Just in case anyone was wondering, you actually can still read here if ya banned, but if ya try to login in yer screwed again so ya gotz to clean yer cookies and temps.

But seriously, as ridiculous as having to ban yourself appears, or even is...It works. :happy0931sb4:

I highly recommend it.

Any of you Canucks should be heading out to drink, smoke yer drugs and get into fistacuffs and watch fireworks. CFH got it right in explaining its appeal.

We going there soon. :)

I can't stand this rep system personally. CC/SC was better, should have kept it the same and just made it where people had to give a reason for SC's.

Finally opinion changing in the direction of the hobbit.

:)

Hey Youngblood, I didn't know you could still view the boards if you were banned... :p I guess you can't if your IP address is banned... :-X

OK lets just say there was a tea baggin clan for the CC/SC system with ten members each member would also get 10 CC's a day on top of there normal count so that was easy to fiddle.... maybe i should stop the club repping to make it a more fair system...but at the minute it is at test stages to me also.

the main thing this system pisses on the old one is you know what you are getting a repped/CC/SC for and for what post.

i love it but then i aint manipulated the system and my count is gen ;)

the only part of the system I don't like is the inflationary nature of the punch power that skews the rep meaning that our rep totals effectively double every four weeks.

This means that all of the rep you have accumulated in your entire time on the board, will now be achievable in just a month. Then within say 16 weeks all the rep you had just 4 months ago over 3 or 4 plus years on the board you could get in a single rep click.

It's a bit silly I think but the actual rep idea I really like. I do love reading my rep comments and sending them, and overall it's a good system.

The cc/sc system wasn't really open to abuse as there was no inflationary aspect to it.

If you got a coolclick 3 months ago it's still worth the same today.

With this new system you basiclly have to be repped every day else you'll fall hopelessly behind.

Take Wacko, under the old system he had so many coolclicks he could have left for two years and only a couple people at most would have caught him, such was his contribution to the site.

Under this new system he left for 3 months and we had people who had only joined the site in the last couple months with a higher rep than him.

That's what forces the repping in the first place, if you don't give out rep and make sure you recieve rep you fall hopelessly behind as your rep total diminishes in worth with every successive week.

We are now at the stage that a new member could join today, recieve one rep click from myself and have more rep points than the most senior member on the whole site had when we started out.

In another couple months we'll be handing out close to 100,000 rep per punch, and around 100,000,000 by Christmas. I know by then you'll have changed things around though ;)

Bilbo, Who says you have give out "Reps" and if you choose to give them out, Who says you give them the full "punch power" that you have?


Do "Reps" make you a smarter person? Did sad/cool clicks make you a better person?

Nope, They all just mean you are popular for one reason or another. Could be good or could be bad.

I go with the flow, but given a choice I would definetly go back to 1 click at a time... It was nice to see your ratio CC/SC and evn the good ole smiley...:coolclick: I think Bilbo is legitimate with the punchpower should focus more on your seniority than rep points...

its all about prespective of the numbers... the longer it goes on the more stable it will become and that is if PP is in the thousands or hundreds of thousands ;)

at the start i had people wanting to be able to rep posters at will... just imagine how high the PP would be if i'd have given in to that. ;)

but if the system means you have to be in it to win it isnt that better for the forum keeping people here than glorifiying people who cant be bothered to come here ;)

the main job of this forum is for boxing fans to come here and discuss thier fav sport... it aint and never was a shrine to members.... if it was Brad4dboxer would still be one of the most hailed members ever to grace the boards IMO 8)

People can selectively choose not to give full reps or not to rep for any reason other than a great posting but be realistic people simply do not do that.

We could leave money in boxes in public places for people to take if they are really in financial need and the system would work if only people didn't abuse it.

It's simply not as good a system as the old coolclick sadclick and the inflationary punch power is why. I'm not moaning now in the slightest I have completely accepted this system for what it is, and it's still a fun little system.

But I am entitled to my opinon as is everyone else.

Yeah I get what your saying Saddo. It does have it's good aspects and I have certainly had fun with it.

I don't see the clans as an abuse of it all though. If anything we are just using the system and making it more worthwhile. Besides no matter how much rep someone accumulates as soon as they stop the leading other members will have caught him in a week and he'll be outisded the top 30 in a month.

Yeah I miss the old smilies as well, although I'm sure Saddo could create some new rep ones for us to develop nostalgia over.

As I said I have come to accept it, it's just different from the old system. Whereas the old system was a permenant rating system that you could build a reputation over only a long period of time, this new system allows anyone to jump right in and get a reputation quickly, or after an abscene to rebuild it quickly again.

Ultiimately I guess it's a matter of personal preference which one you prefer.

I liked the old way but then I am admittely quite a nerd and love stats and records of all kinds. Most people arn't as anal as I am and so really don't care and instead prefer building up a huge punch power to smite people with or barter reps with.

It's quite fun having a constantly changing table and I enjoy getting back to number 1 after slipping down again.

I guess most people don't even ever check the table but it provides amusement and interest to me and a few others so each to their own.

a agree mate it is all new for me also... so i'm just seeing what happens with the systems.

one thing is noticable the bigger the PP you get your less likely to rep someone out of your clan for nowt... only posts you agree with or found really helpful.

you must see this yourself compaired to say reps you gave out 3 months ago to reps you give to non clan members now ;)

I dunno I see the new members as potential Baggins Clan conscripts and reward them liberally if they will only join my army :D

Look at Kid Thunder for example. Only been here a couple weeks and less than 150 posts and he's already got over 22,000 rep.

I've also made him Aragorn, son of Arathorn and heir to the throne of Gondor. I'm enjoying my new found power to bestow gifts upon those who please me :cool:

Is there a way to check the stats here like on the old forum... Also liked the feature that told you how long you been logged in as a member... at one point I coulda been locked in my almost 200 days straight posting here;D

LOL well, I started this post purely as a joke obviously and it seems to have gone into debate, which I suppose can be good.

The thing which in a sense is good about the current system is, IMO, seeing that it all began at zero and when isn't being overly manipulated, a person who consistantly makes decent posts, and spends a lot of time here contributing will be rewarded with those efforts, if one considers them some form of merit.

But for the love of all things clicky and reppy, meh...as a freshly back self-banned messageboardaholic...either system isn't worth the spit you'll find on a sidewalk if you push yourself away from the keyboard and go for a nice stroll to smell the flowers, or the worry or concern once you get there. Fact.

As far as seniority goes, I look at a persons date of when they got here, and number of posts. And from that perspective I can tell you in many cases it means a person has good boxing knowledge and much to contribute, someone to learn from. i've learned plenty already and appreciate it. But in others with equal time I have seen what I believe to be little more then talking out their ass. Just diligently. You get 2 people been at the job years, doesn't automatically equal both good employees. So goes the debate.

I kinda liked the Old Guard idea, I must say..as a way for people to say..."I been here and weathered the storms and adversities of this message board. Been here 2 years, am Old Guard" kinda logic...but I don't much like divisions.

It causes people to join sides and I believe leaves brand new members swinging in the balance. I'm not talking bout myself, cuz I got my own fan club, membership base of 1! :p And I'm okay with that.

But I do wonder about those quiet new ones. Where do they fit?

Obviously the circus shit joins the baggins club. :)

Your irritation at my presence on the boards and the contempt you have for my clan amuses me.

We have a started a weekly self expression course now at Clan Baggins where we combine singing, drama and dance with an open discussion club where we all sit in a circle and tell each other our troubles. We then offfer support and comfort, and obviously a nice cup of tea and a biscuit or two!

You don't have to be a member to come along and you'd be most be most welcome :)

Bilbo I have to admit that I have tried to piss you off in a back-ass kindof way for quite awhile. And it is even funnier that I haven't been able to do it.


I just ordered a movie in Bulgarian with subtitles, about a circus along time ago that is taking this dead whale around Russia as an exhibit. It is called Wierkmiester's [sic] harmonies. I can't wait until I get it! I thought of you.

Yea youngblood, you would be hard pressed to find someone with Old Guard stirring up shit or getting involved in it for that matter, its not mentioned on the main board except by Julius:rolleyes: but all in all I found my claim to be 100% accurate and anyone with Old Guard has held true to what we claim to be and what we represent;)

People who are guests or under 100 posts only see that by our avatar and wouldnt know the difference except maybe the dignity we carry ourselves

JT you are a spokeman of rare qualities.

So anyway in Criminal Procedure we keep reading about Miranda Rights (You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you...etc) And I keep thinking about Edison Miranda. I think I am retarded.

The reason you fail Booze is that I relish being a clown. Any man who creates his own cuddle thread and has formed a hobbit and elf based online clan is pretty hard to offend by suggesting he's an idiot.

It's what I live for :)

By the way the movie sounds great, I'd like to check that out myself, I love eccentric things like that.

Yeah it is by the film maker Bella Tarr. He makes like Dead Pan movies with like 10 minute cuts. In black and white. It seems more like art work in a movie. But his movies are really really long. This is a really short one at 140 minutes.

Satantango, which I want to get but it is only in European DVD format (i didn't know there was a difference?) is over 7 hours long.
