I percieve a big future problem with rep

[CutMeMick]

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

I'd do that for my boy Wakcs...
Heres where you show how much people actually care for the guy...
Bunch of fucken brown noses who would only come around his Rd. by Rd. and say things like your great! your my boy! your this...

Where are they now?

Anyway.... I rarely Sad Clicked on the old forum once in a while I would go into OLD threads and Sad Click old members... I've Bad Repped a few people here...

It's not for us to have to do that though! Can't you not see that the system at present is a little broken.

It doesn't matter what tweak Saddo does sooner or later we will arrive at a point where the vast majority of users have a puncher power in the 1000's.

If you place a limit on punch power eventually EVERYBODY will just hit that maximum limit and we'll all have the same punch power.

Which really begs the question why not just do that now and set everyone's punch power back to 1?

Fair democracry in action.

Set everyones punch power to 1?
WTF... Why?

lol you're not getting it yet I can tell.

It's because an inflation based system doesn't work longterm because as everybody's reputation and punch power increases each individual rep point means less and less.

Remember this system is supposed to work for the next few years, like coolclicks did right.......

So when we started the new forum I think my punch power was about 29.

Now just over a month later its 60.

As interest increases more and more each month by the end of the year we will have punch powers of 1000 or more. And so will everybody else!

Then a year from then we will probably have a punch power of 10,000

The following year 100,000

And so on, surely you must know how interest works right?

Withing 5 years the top members will have a puncher power of a million or more!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's completely absurd!

[CutMeMick]

Well I'm sure Saddo has thought about this before he implemented the system. Once he comes around I'm sure he'll let us know the deal.

Yeah hopefully but can you see what I'm getting at?

If my score has doubled in a month, then logically it will double again next month as everybody's rep has inflated accordingly.

So a simple punch calculation follows.

My starting power 28
My current power 60

Next month projected 120
Then 240
480
960
1920
3840
7680
15360
30720

30720 is my projected punch power, not rep PUNCH POWER by Christmas!

Then by Christmas 09

12582910 PUNCH POWER!!!!!!! by Christmas 09

Now can you see the problem!!!!!


Think of rats breeding, you start with 2 but in a few years you could have billions! Can you see the problem now?

The hobbit is no fool Mick.

Is it a bit odd that Bilbo is complaining about the rep system, when just the other day he was begging everyone to rep him?

Hey guys!

I'm almost on the verge of a double milestone, 10,000 posts, the 11th Saddo member to reach this elusive number and almost 4000 reputation points.

Now cynics may say this only demonstrates that I have no life beyond this board, and they would be correct.

Which is why I ask for sympathy rep points from each of you.

Thankyou

Get off the crack bilbo. Of all people you want our power punch back to 1 Now I know your not trying to dig your boogger in your photo, thats actually crack your sniffing

Technically I don't want our punch power back to 1 I want a return to the coolclick system.

It was fairer and more fun imo.

[Diane]

Are you bored tonight Bilbo, and just needed something to debate?

Or maybe just hitting the bottle too much?

Honestly, whether it's the rep system or cool/sad click system, it shouldn't matter, it's all just for fun, and it shouldn't be taken so seriously.

If people are just going to complain about it, then just take it all away, period, and then everyone is equal, and we can do what is really important, and that's talk about boxing, and other interesting subjects.

If you take it away, discussions won't stop, friendships being formed won't stop, but the complaining will stop.

[Spicoli]

Bilbo at first you really had plans for the system right ?The whole elites band together and keep the newbies in check as a Vassel Leader to build yours up right.?

I agree though,I liked the old system better but it is not coming back.One at a time felt more valuable and well earned...may sound cornball but it did....Regardless of the chickenshit Sc bombers.The whole spread it around thing sort of gets me as well.It just seems at times its flying around just to meet a quota count.If I have not earned your respect or rep for a thought or point just keep it.It can really be a #'s game and a mindbender if you over think it.It can become a watered down swap-meet barder system at times but At the end of the day I have no complaints.Reps are sent for whatever reason and we have full control of the response we choose ...Back to boxing!

lol Bilbo loves rep or accolades of any kind but precisely because I am such an unabashed rep and coolclick whore I notice how the system works and this system is flawed imo.

Because of inflation you will gain more reps next month than you did this month and will gain more the month after that etc.

It means that eventually we will all have punch powers ridiculously high and our reputation number will be so high we won't even be able to fit the number into the box.

And it will likely almost double every single month!

It's just silly and undemocratic.

When you think about it why should Mick or myself have a huge punch power compared to someone like Big H who is a mod but for some reason has not done well under this new system?

What makes us more important than him? Or anyone more important than anybody else?

The old coolclick system just gave a single click power to EVERYBODY!

It was democratic, it was anonymous, it was fair.

I just think this new system is skewed and broken.

[Julius Rain]

Bilbo is losing it.
