I actually think I disproved that by defending it :P

Why? It doesn't mean anything, and all it does is cause trouble.

You just don't want negative rep that you can't shift anymore.

As I said on Skype, it was generally a good way of showing how valuable somebody was, and a way of marking their contributions. And sometimes it was amusing.

Actually, it is pretty useful, and some of the comments are amusing. I'm with Craaig on that.

I've restored the karma system now that I think its fixed...

I don't think any of us want it there.

Speak for yourself asshat.

Oh yes, should've guessed you'd kiss his ass. You going to blow him in return for precious rep, next?

What utter crap. As mentioned, it personally doesn't concern me anymore seeing as I hardly ever come here anyway. The reason I don't feel it has a purpose here as already mentioned, is in how in the hands of certain people, it's only really used as a plaything for dicking about with people rather than as any actual sort of status symbol.

And if you want to show how valuable someone is, why not just have more varied titles to show that? That way, it can't really be abused. Or at least not as much.

Whilst I contemplate blasting Junk Yard and the rep system into the void, I thought I should point out that the Rep System only allowed me to delete by page (not by post) so we lost half a page of real repping.

Edit: Nvm, it fixed itself (the paging breaks). I'll finish cleaning up the rest of the reps now.

That's right, Maz. Get in line behind GF. You know you have to take turns.

If you don't care about GTM, then why is this such an issue?

Pretty much. Yes. Mouthwash is the trick.

I thought I was just throwing a bit of banter around, wasn't aware I was posting stuff that pissed you off.

Allow me to continue.

Way to go with being respectable.
Dude. Rep is messed around with those that have it generally to those that have it. Anything else must've had some kind of reasoning - even if it's seeming a little moany about the system.
It's really not too hard to gain respect here and I thought you of all people would know that by now.

STEPS TO GAIN LOTS OF RESPECT
1) Don't lash out.
2) Contribute in valuable discussions.
3) Actively build.
4) Run a tournament.


You say you don't care but you continuously complain about the system, even going as far as feeling the need to insult those who defend it - and only last week I actually saw you defending homosexuality on Facebook rather than using it as a way to insult. Just chill out.

Hell, this is the only reason I started up Orphans. It's less hassle than sucking cock.

Alright. I was too harsh there, and for that I apologise. But I honestly don't see what there is that's appealing about it. One day, everyone hates it and wants it gotten rid of but has to put up with it due to there not being a means of removing it without it affecting the rest of the forum, and now everyone loves it as soon as it's established that there is now a way to remove it.

And it's not like I haven't tried to do something relevant as of late. I did have some rather nice renders of some of my ARC machines and other things in Maya that I thought might be of interest, which I've since uploaded here- the only response I got was along the lines of "we don't care". No offence, but I wouldn't call Respect "really not too hard to gain around here"- that's why I don't really come here any more.

This is an RA2 forum, not a sketching forum. Not everyone cares about your drawings. 3D modeling doesn't earn you props around here.

The thing is, although it is relevant as such to the theme of the forum, and we have very strong links to roboteering and such, this is still an RA2 forum - and it always will be. So relevant in one sense, but in a stricter sense, not really. Hence your uncaring critic.

Well, what about Kurt or Thy and all the other ones who do more or less the same thing?

Kurt builds, runs, and enters tournaments. Thyrus is an IRL legend and just finished TA2.

I mean as in, they make renders of robots as well, but they don't get told that nobody cares about what they make.

[HurricaneAndrew]

Because they simply post it in the appropriate thread and leave it at that. You felt the need to announce it in the chatbox.

Let's put it this way, only a handfull of people give a sh** about ARC renders. Those that don't participate in ARC don't want to see sh** about ARC post all over GTM. We've already dealt with it from Badnik and a few others. It really is nothing personal.

[Merrick]

I really fancy a bagel.

They don't need to be told.
