I percieve a big future problem with rep

[Diane]

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

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.

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.

Trust me if Saddo takes it away altogether my complaining will have only just gotten started!

But don't worry, in a few months you'll see I was right when those at the top have reputations in the hundreds of thousands and our beloved Wacko no longer even makes the reputation board at all

When every single member of Saddo's is a Hall of Famer with a punch power over 1000.

Then you'll say 'We should have listened to Bilbo, that little hobbit guy, he knew. He knew this would happen!'

And you'll turn to me and say 'Oh Bilbo, Oh we wish we had listened to you'.

And I will not reply but just put a disinterested smilie up like this one and act all indifferent, but inside I will be grinning a big knowing grin of smug satisfaction

By the way Diane do you not feel the disparity is unfair when you think about it? I mean why shoul I have a punch power of 60 versus somebody else's 10?

I don't really like the grading of members in that some have a more important value than others. I'm certainly not against a reputation, a hard earned rep based on how others see you and your posts but giving extra power to people with a higher rep is a bit undemocratic imo.

If there was no punch power stats and everyone's opinion and rep and hence punch power/ cool click power was the same the whole system seems more fair and inclusive.

Nobody is treated differently, everyone's opinion is the same. So if a little newbie likes one of my postings and reps me for it it is just as important as if CutMeMick repped me. I prefer that, I like that.

Today for example I got a 40 rep from Boxing Gorilla and a 2 rep from 2GoodForU. I was like ugh to the 2 rep but it shouldn't be that way, because both Gorilla and toogood4u are equal in my eyes and in the eyes of God.

I think I'm getting a bit too deep and into this now but you can see where my sentiments come from.

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!

Glad you understand where I'm coming from. At the end of the day I do agree with Diane that it's not really a big deal. But if you going to have a fun little system then it may as will be fair and fun for everyone...right?

Actually you feel exactly how I do about it. You have to spread your rep around, and the ever increasing punch powers just kind of devalues a rep point to meaning virtually nothing. This will only get worse as well.

I wish we could go back to the old coolclicks. I liked giving the old sign and if someone was really bad the occasional but very satisfying sign as well.

Bilbo I just dont see what is unfair about it.You use wacko as an example but dont forget He has been inactive since the switch and for about a month before on and off.no doubt that if he was doing the RBR's and on point daily his numbers would have sense doubled if not tripled.I miss the dude and #'s dont do him justice...he's beyond them as are many lifers and long term vets.Its really not a lifes concern,Hey right now Andy Lee Is starting...What a facial mutt

lol I know its not a big deal and its not going to affect my life either way.

Just thought it was a point worth raising.

Wacko slaved over this site for 4 years and had a reputation beyond compare.

He leaves for a couple months and he's now being overtaken and will soon be an also ran.

Not a big deal ulitmately but still a bit sad I think.

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.
