Rep Reset

Why is this such a problem?

Because of Terminal Wallies like you messing around with the system, that's why

If looking around the room, you can't find the problem; Your probably it GF98, your one of the ones that act like Rep matters....duh.

Who are you calling 98, matey? 

[Kujii]

98 is 20% cooler then 93, so I made a Typo to cause it to exist.

But were OT.

Actually, this has been discussed to death, I got nothing further to say.

Maybe so, but there's at least five years in it, matey. Therefore, a bit of a crucial mistake to make if you're going for actual age

To be fair, he did have something of a point. You did make those threads when your rep was going down. Hopefully the new system should help prevent that happening again, but you did take it a bit more seriously than you probably should have.

Indeed that was the case in the past, but not anymore. You've got to admit I've improved since the new changes were put in place though, right?

I would agree with that. But at the end of the day, it's ACAMS' decision as to who gets the privileges and who doesn't.

[090901]

And apparently I can. :D

oh boy....

[NFX]

And apparently I can. :D

oh boy....

That's a somewhat dubious move. But hey, I'd agree that he's earned the privilege.

[Skiitzzox220]

I'm surprised that no one's been stupid enough to say "Just deny the drama queens and such rep privileges"..
The answer: That would cause a of a lot more problems and flaming.

Anyways I'm happy with the way the rep system's going because now no one can really rep whore.

and who are YOU again?

and who are YOU again?

A secret lurker covering as an idiotic Lemon, any else you want to know?

[Scourge of teh Galaxy]

He's someone who can't spell phoenix and has less posts than me

Besides that, I haven't a clue

I'd like to know entirely how a lurker actually expects people to respect thier opinion.

Its something I've never gotten, they post so little that noone knows them when they post, so almost noone agree's with the post.

I'm surprised no ones asked to deny us that eit- oh wait, yes they have.

I kind of expecting this to flare up because I haven't started a showcase...

It's not that you don't have a showcase, I think it might be - as Kujii said - the lack of knowledge about the lurker. Generally, a newcomer's opinion needs a bit of work, but it can sometimes be hard to determine who's been lurking for a while and who hasn't. It's a bit presumptuous, I know, but that seems to be how it happens.

I think you're right about singling out members to deny them rep privlieges. Given the Drama Queen tendencies, you will get some posts, or even threads, along the lines of "Why can't I rep? This is <expletive>, you obviously hate me", or things like that. That's the thing about it, the system will undoubtedly be abused much less, but we might end up with more bawwing. Though that's more of a job for the mods, if it does happen.

I've been here 8 months and I only just got around to even proving I know how to build a operating robot. I assure you I did not Jump down your throat on the basis of if you had a showcase or not.

Undoubtedly the ones that tended to abuse the system the most are the ones likely to make such a thread. The Bawwing itself will help Acams figure out whom can/can't give rep.

I see where you're coming from, I've noticed that you always seem to answer people with a decent amount of logic which is something you don't see much on the internet these days.

Sadly you're right about that. I think the smaller a community is, the more logic there is with the members. But that's heading off-topic.
 
Kujii might be right about the bawwing helping determine who gets the privilege and who doesn't, but it's not really as simple as that. There are members who might question a decision to keep them from something, because they would like to help out with it, as opposed to those who complain purely for being excluded from it.
