I percieve a big future problem with rep

[Kev]

hehe I know what your saying Mick but I just think this new rep system means people earn a rep way too quickly.

I'm sure you'll remember before we had the new board Wacko had over 3000 coolclicks, he was over 1000 more ahead of anybody else.

It took him 4 years of being a 100% devoted member to this site and countless rbr's to earn that number.

Under our old coolclick system he could have had a year off and come back and STILL had more coolclicks than anybody else. A coolclick score was harder to earn and thus reflected more fairly on the status of someone like Wacko.

Now if you sort members by reputation in just a single month he's already been dumped to 4th place

By the end of April I doubt he will even be on the top 30 page. If he hasn't returned by the end of the summer he will barely make the top 100

I personally think that sucks. It took me over two years to earn just over 2000 coolcliks. I've more than doubled that score in a month on the new system, and remember that with the constant inflation every month from now this process will accelerate faster and faster!

Furthermore I miss the anonymous sad clicks. I've only ever had one bad rep since we started this new system, from Violent D for saying his ICQ Flower made him look gay.

I just don't think the new system is very fun any more

I used to prefer patiently building collecting my coolclicks one at a time, cursing when someone anonymously gave me a sadclick and wondering who it was and why

A person's reputation was patiently built over a long time, slowly, bit by bit.


I mean no disrespect to Clubber at all when I say this but I don't think I even knew you before a couple of months ago and already you have a reputation of 1000 and within a couple of months at that rate will overtake our all time most esteemed member Wacko in reputation.

That's just not right imo.

I personally vote we go back to the old coolclick system.

Anybody with me?

By flipshits do you mean Hairy Terry? He's been banned for awhile now hasn't he?

Yes,a lot of peoples reps have been skyrocketing (mine included). The main problem is we CAN'T GIVE REP ANONYMOUSLY!!!!! That's the main reason right there. WHEN SOMEONE GIVES REP TO SOMEONE, THAT PERSON USUALLY RETURNS THE FAVOR, WHETHER IT BE GOOD OR BAD.

Ah my apologies buddy I meant no offense

[CutMeMick]

Bilbs, I hate to bother to go look but after how many Rep. Points do earn 1 punch point?

Do you know?

[CutMeMick]

Ok so I just checked and every 100 Reps. gives you 1 power point.

Maybe Saddo can change it to every 500 Reps. gives you 1 point?

That doesn't fix the problem though. The root of the problem is that we have punch stats which constantly inflate.

The only way to solve the problem is to go back to EVERYBODY having the same punch power!

Or say when someone reaches a milestone 5000 posts for example they get 1 more punchpower but its fixed for everyone when they hit 5000 to get that increase.

The current system is fundamentally flawed imo.

1 click per person is the best system imo.

Do you know?

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

[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.

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's definitely partly it but the inflating punch power is the biggest problem imo.

It means it will always be easier and easier to earn rep in the future than was in the past and is right now. That kind of sucks to me.

Also I think its undemocratic!

During a general election you might be the most intelligent, well educated man on the planet who has thouroughly researched every nominee before you vote.

Your next door neighbour on the other hand might be a complete idiot who can barely muster the intelligence to mark his ballot paper correctly.

Nevertheless you still both only get 1 vote each, on account of every man (and woman) being equal. That's democracy.

Our new rep system where people like myself and Mick have huge punch power whilst other longterm members who are every bit as respected such as Big H, Scrap and Mark TKO have very little just makes no sense to me.


Coolclicks was the ultimate system imo. 1 click either good or bad per person. Perfect democracy in action.

Just sent a message saying that. The ability to give so much to a person at one time is also what's causing the inflation, as well as not being anonymous.

People won't give bad rep because they're afraid of getting it back, and people give a lot of good rep, because they know 80% of the time they're also going to get it back.

The reason my rep count has went up like the gas prices is that I too give a lot of good rep, but I also used to give a lot of cool clicks too. Whenever I see a post I like, I'd coolclick or rep that person every time (unless I had already CC'd him earlier that day or had to spread some rep around), so it is NOT because I am a brown-noser.

But I will admit, I don't give people bad rep because I don't want to get it back either or start a repping war...
