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?
