Ok I know you guys think I'm harping on here, and indeed I am, I like to harp
But this is a clear example of how this new system of building a reputation is completely flawed.
A user can in just one month of regular posting earn a rep that eclipses that of a well respected longstanding poster who has happened to take some time off.
Now let's look at DG' Diane as an example.
Let me say firstly that I really like Diane, she's a cool girl and one of my favourite new posters BUT
She has the 24th highest reputation on the whole of Saddo's despite having posted only 278 times
This is the equivilent of a boxer being made p4p number 1 on his pro debut
In under 280 postings she has managed to build a better rep than Memphis with 12000 posts, Scrap with 3780, Missy with 10,777, KillerSheep with over 4000, Big H 7500 posts, Amat 6500, Lords Gym 6103, X 4022 plus other well respected posters like
Brad4boxer, Fenster, Sal The Butcher, Ono, BZKFN, Smashup (11000 posts!), Adam GB (6287), p4pking (4500) Sweet Pea (2600), Snakey (8127)
Mad Dog (5205), Steelie (6331), TitoBHB (5489), Hulk (3749) and a host more.
All of the posters I mentioned had excellent reps under the old coolclick system, reputations that would last over time BUT because they havn't been so active over the past 4 weeks since the new system has been implemented a poster with UNDER 300 POSTS has now eclipsed them all.
She's not alone, DeanRW has less than 700 posts and is now above virtually all of those mentioned.
This new system only rewards the previous 4 weeks. As everybody's punch power will increase (probably double) every 4 weeks this will be a consistent self perpetuating thing.
There's no longer any consistency or stability to the rankings.
I know it's just for fun and not to be taken seriously but really if none of you take it seriously then why not just let me get it changed back to the old system
The coolclick system better reflected the value and contribution of users over time.
You wouldn't touch a ranking system like this with a barge pole when it came to ranking fighters on an all time p4p so why do we have it in place here?
Thankyou, that is all![]()
