I percieve a big future problem with rep

[Douglas]

Oh by the way Bilbo, I've been on this forum since 2004, I just didn't always have time to post as much, and you've been here since 2005. I'm older than you!

Clubber you shit!!
Don't you remember me?
When you posted your mug in 2005 I think...
I told you, that you looked like Jim Carey when he was in Dumb and Dumber?
You posted pics. of you with your friends and also another one sitting in a truck.

Wheres Floorian?

Yeah, I remember. I remember it being said I looked like Jim Carey although I couldn't remember who it was that said it. I might post it again...

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?

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

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

Yes Mick, 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.

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...

Maybe fix it to where you need 10,000 reps to get a new "punch" number?

Or the higher punch you get the more or less (depending on how you wanted to work it) reps you need to get more "power?"


Either way the strong get stronger. I bet there are some people who have to jump through hoops to get rep and others who get rep for farting.

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.

[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.

[BoxingGorilla]

I'll give out bad rep if I see fit to do so. if I get attacked then I will just call in air strike from Mick or pick up a "health pack" from my man Ol' Bill.


Just kidding.



But not really.

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.)

Who want's some?

I'll knock them the FUCK OUT!!

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

Does wacko even know we have a new forum and new rep system?

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 )

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
