I percieve a big future problem with rep

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.

The good thing about the CC system is that you get one more point for each thing that another finds commendable in your post. Its a gradual accumulation of respect. Likewise the SC was a gradual accumulation of disrespect. It definitely reflected pretty much "time spent" as it were.

My main gripe is this "share the love" business. Ive been on here like I used to be over the last number of days and posting and giving out rep to posts I find interesting. And STILL im told I must spread the love before giving rep. to members I wanted to give rep to days ago. Its pissing me off! I never had this hassle with the CC system. If anyone things that ive turned from being CC mad to just being stingy with the rep.....well, it just isnt the case. Darn annoying!!

Well done for speaking up Miles! Let's try and get the old system back,

I miss my coolclicks !

You've made some good points in this thread. Im hardly a hippy dippy communist but I do think the new system has its flaws. I can get rep from 20 newbies or just a couple of long time members and yet both will affect my power punch (which is weak considering how long ive been here and how many CC's I once had) in the same way. Getting respect is better in the CC way of getting "one more on the notch" IMO.

The current system may well lead to a select few dominating and controlling with their power punch and with many others having a much weaker influence. Perhaps a metaphor for the way things are in the world itself.
