This Whole Rep Thing

can you show me a newbie that has a high Punch Power?

[BoxingGorilla]

Here is what I think...

Our initial rep was based on our CC/SS ratio as well as posts made. So a new member from the old board that got off on the right foot had a soild base for their starting rep. It was a completly fair and balanced system.

I hand out rep for each member who takes part in the prediction contest to encourage greater competition. So by the end of the season a new member could have a nice rep boost.

All that being said it would be nice if we could decide the amount of rep that we give out at one time, say 25%, 50% or 100% of our punch power. Why I say this is because once we reach 100 punch power we will be giving someone a full power point with each rep. That could make people greedy with rep for fear they may build someone up too fast.

Nah mate i hear you

totally agree with this it also make the guys with huge punch power reluctent to give out reps ...

somthing i will implant in soon is the ability to choose how many reps you want to give.... IE how hard you wanns punch i guess

i think this new rep idea is great, if we add the how hard we want to punch it'll be even greater.

If someone gives us like a jab we can call that bastard cheap

and we can be like balboa and say " come on punch me harder " and block with our face

I understand what J.T is trying to say but about members kissing ass and grouping with others. I don't know who he means by this but if by people getting a long and actually forming friendship is what he means then i am who he speaks of. Im no vet like he is but I have cleaned up my act and began to love the members unlike before when I only love the forum. Some of us guys and even the few gals, have kind of group together. I actually have a set of guys I rep if I need to past it around to rep a worthy members posting. Those set of guys have earned it from me, those guys earn more then just one rep for one post. The building friendship is what im repping not just one post. I never saw a rule that we are suppose to just rep one post and not for a building friendship.

Another thing about these rep is that we must pass them around if we are to find another post we agree on from a member we just rep. Well what are we to do then give reps to our buddy or did you VETs want us to just give it to you all? I'm ok with that and won't expect anything in return but my whole point is. those I rep are those i believe deserves it cause they are good fellas. guys like andre, bilbo,daxx and mick are the vets i respect most not because i don't respect the other vets. Its just cause those three had showed me that they are good people. Im sure the other vets are great guys too, and its just a matter of time when we get to laugh together. Honestly though, some vets have come on to me like i was suppose to bow down to them. That to me leaves a bad taste in my mouth, it'll just take more time to respect then how the other vets have approach me with .

I see his point exactly. The veterans here have put much time and effort into this place and deserve a special standing. I am new here and already have a punch power of 7. I don't pay a whole lot of attention to the rep thing, but I like the idea of tipping my hat to what I feel is a great post.

I think making it so you can give a determined amount of rep is a great idea.

I never advocated anyone owing vets any rep at all or having to bow down, to me good or bad rep is earned, no one should ever say rep is owed to them because of length of membership..

I agree with the friendship thing. The spreading of reps to 10 people, I guess, makes it complicated. I need to spread my reps to people even though they don't deserve it so that I can give good reps again to a poster who deserves to be given reps again.

I'm actually curious if the reps can be given to the same person again in the same day as long as I have spread the reps to 10 people more. If this is the case, then, the purpose of spreading reps is actually defeated and circumvented.


Just a thought....

[brucelee]

This change in the giving of reps is really nice. Now I can decide how many reps a post is worth.

Thanks Saddo.....






Now I can give negative reps without hurting the feelings of others by giving 0 points.

I use the word Newb a bit to literal here but to make a fair point that you can accelerate you reps by collusion.. Its not an indictment on your hard work or choice of how you conduct the forum and even though this thread sounds ungrateful, I assure you its not... Nothing more than an observation from someone whos opinion at the end of the day means nothing

I agree the idenify negative rep is great.. Be nice if we went to one rep at a time just like the CC/SC used to be, with the idenity for negative rep still in place.. Thats all
