Some evidence for my 'this new rep system is flawed' theory

[RP33]

Now let's look at DG' Diane as an example.

Let me say firstly that I really like Diane, she's a cool girl and one of my favourite new posters BUT

She has the 24th highest reputation on the whole of Saddo's despite having posted only 278 times

I can't help it if people are giving me good rep. I don't go around asking people to rep me, like some people I know.

Yes, a small portion of my reps is from those who welcomed me because I was Danny's friend, but the majority of it comes from people liking what I have to say, and those people do not have to give me full rep, they can always just give me 1 rep point if they want.

Why do you keep giving me full rep points when you obviously think that I don't deserve it?

This is something that is just supposed to be for fun. Rep points shouldn't matter, what should matter is the people of this forum, and the opinions they have to share.

So I'll tell you what, I think that I can go into my options, and make it so I cannot be rated by anyone anymore. Will that satisfy you then?

i don't think Bilbo was attacking you.. he was more so just using you as an example..

you may not be familiar with the past system, which is contributing to your misinterpretation of what he's trying to say.. basically you only have 200+ posts, and you have a ton of rep.. on the old system you could only "cool click" a person once per 24 hour period.. so think of a 50 punch power rep coming from bilbo not as 50, but as 1 point.. and my 10 punch not as 10 but also 1.. so you'd have 2 points and not 60.. it's a huge difference..

basically what he's saying is that on that old rep system, to have a smuch rep as you do is impossible unless you had everyone on the site give you a cool click every day..

hope that clarifies..
