I percieve a big future problem with rep

[Kev]

Yep every 100 points.

So say in two weeks from now you and me will be able to add a whole rep point to anyone we click.

Even if we choose to limit the amount or rep we give per punch the problem is still there and will get bigger and bigger over time.

At the current rate by Christmas you and me will have punch power of AT LEAST 1000 per hit!

That would mean if we gave a full power hit, a brand new member could get full rep from say you, me, Gamo and Gorilla and ALREADY have a bigger reputation than Wacko!


The system sucks imo

He could make it so that you're not allowed to recieve but so much rep at once until your rep count or punch power reaches a certain number. (That way a newbie couldn't come on here and get repped by a powerful poster like Mick and already have a high punch power. Only a poster like Wacko who deserved it could get it.)

That makes sense...
So if I can't click them that means that can't earn any punching power and only those with a small number can Rep. thus leaving me to Rep. members like Wacko, Bilbo, BG etc. etc.
So if I Rep. them their power will increase but not rapidly which means we would all somewhat be the same and.......

(I have know fucken idea, what I just typed )

I'm repeating what I just said but it applies here as well........


But all of these things take time and complicate the system.

Why not just go back to the old coolclick sadclick system where there were no problems to begin with

And also your idea would just widen the gap between a high rep poster and a newbie.

Why not just have 1 click for everybody, its democratic.

[CutMeMick]

Well we can also all Rep. WackOff everyday so he doesn't fall off.

I just Raped FUCK!
I mean Repped him right now.

Yeah but that's a cumbersome thing to have to do. Means you have to search for old posts and realistically how many people would do that every day to make sure he doesn't fall behind.

I just think the system itself is flawed.

The coolclick system was much simpler and more importantly worked much better.

People gave both coolclicks and sadclicks, we had special smilies devoted to both, the anonyminty ensured people were free to click without fear of retribution or without looking like they were pandering for a coolclick themselves.

Nobody's reputation would get left behind just because they didn't log in for a few weeks and any reputation that anybody built was deserved.

If you had 2000 coolclicks under the old system, it mean you had been clicked 2000 times. No trickery, no illusion that was 2000 clicks.

Under this new system you could have a reputation of 2000 and been clicked less than 100 times, in another couple months you get that score by being clicked just 3 or 4 times

I'd do that for my boy Wakcs...
Heres where you show how much people actually care for the guy...
Bunch of fucken brown noses who would only come around his Rd. by Rd. and say things like your great! your my boy! your this...

Where are they now?

Anyway.... I rarely Sad Clicked on the old forum once in a while I would go into OLD threads and Sad Click old members... I've Bad Repped a few people here...

Don't yopu remember all those threads?
Who Sad Clicked me?
Whos Sad Clicking me?
I hate not knowing who Sad Clicked me....

It's not for us to have to do that though! Can't you not see that the system at present is a little broken.

It doesn't matter what tweak Saddo does sooner or later we will arrive at a point where the vast majority of users have a puncher power in the 1000's.

If you place a limit on punch power eventually EVERYBODY will just hit that maximum limit and we'll all have the same punch power.

Which really begs the question why not just do that now and set everyone's punch power back to 1?

Fair democracry in action.

lol you're not getting it yet I can tell.

It's because an inflation based system doesn't work longterm because as everybody's reputation and punch power increases each individual rep point means less and less.

Remember this system is supposed to work for the next few years, like coolclicks did right.......

So when we started the new forum I think my punch power was about 29.

Now just over a month later its 60.

As interest increases more and more each month by the end of the year we will have punch powers of 1000 or more. And so will everybody else!

Then a year from then we will probably have a punch power of 10,000

The following year 100,000

And so on, surely you must know how interest works right?

Withing 5 years the top members will have a puncher power of a million or more!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's completely absurd!

[Julius Rain]

Bilbo is losing it.

[CutMeMick]

Well I'm sure Saddo has thought about this before he implemented the system. Once he comes around I'm sure he'll let us know the deal.

[Kev]

Yeah hopefully but can you see what I'm getting at?

If my score has doubled in a month, then logically it will double again next month as everybody's rep has inflated accordingly.

So a simple punch calculation follows.

My starting power 28
My current power 60

Next month projected 120
Then 240
480
960
1920
3840
7680
15360
30720

30720 is my projected punch power, not rep PUNCH POWER by Christmas!

Then by Christmas 09

12582910 PUNCH POWER!!!!!!! by Christmas 09

Now can you see the problem!!!!!


Think of rats breeding, you start with 2 but in a few years you could have billions! Can you see the problem now?

The hobbit is no fool Mick.

Is it a bit odd that Bilbo is complaining about the rep system, when just the other day he was begging everyone to rep him?

Hey guys!

I'm almost on the verge of a double milestone, 10,000 posts, the 11th Saddo member to reach this elusive number and almost 4000 reputation points.

Now cynics may say this only demonstrates that I have no life beyond this board, and they would be correct.

Which is why I ask for sympathy rep points from each of you.

Thankyou

[Julius Rain]

Get off the crack bilbo. Of all people you want our power punch back to 1 Now I know your not trying to dig your boogger in your photo, thats actually crack your sniffing

lol Bilbo loves rep or accolades of any kind but precisely because I am such an unabashed rep and coolclick whore I notice how the system works and this system is flawed imo.

Because of inflation you will gain more reps next month than you did this month and will gain more the month after that etc.

It means that eventually we will all have punch powers ridiculously high and our reputation number will be so high we won't even be able to fit the number into the box.

And it will likely almost double every single month!

It's just silly and undemocratic.

When you think about it why should Mick or myself have a huge punch power compared to someone like Big H who is a mod but for some reason has not done well under this new system?

What makes us more important than him? Or anyone more important than anybody else?

The old coolclick system just gave a single click power to EVERYBODY!

It was democratic, it was anonymous, it was fair.

I just think this new system is skewed and broken.

[Kev]

Technically I don't want our punch power back to 1 I want a return to the coolclick system.

It was fairer and more fun imo.

[X]

Nah .... my rep hasn't improved at all since it came out.

[Diane]

Are you bored tonight Bilbo, and just needed something to debate?

Or maybe just hitting the bottle too much?

Honestly, whether it's the rep system or cool/sad click system, it shouldn't matter, it's all just for fun, and it shouldn't be taken so seriously.

If people are just going to complain about it, then just take it all away, period, and then everyone is equal, and we can do what is really important, and that's talk about boxing, and other interesting subjects.

If you take it away, discussions won't stop, friendships being formed won't stop, but the complaining will stop.
