The New Rep System Is A Joke

[Arthur Brain]

On this site we are the in crowd. Get over it.

I'll say this much for ya LH. You say what others are so reticent to admit to.

They are exactly the same thing as lighthouse explained to you, a thread where we rep each other. Period.

There have been plenty of them that do the exact same thing, openly.

Easy, if you dont want to do that, then dont. You can use your reps any way you want, like i can.

True enough, but at around roughly 3X the rep power of regular forum users while repping in SOOTS if memory serves correctly, and with less constraints on the amount of rep you're able to spread around as well, if memory further serves correctly. Things may have changed since then of course but hey, enjoy it, why not?

it must feel like having the high score on a video game. i remember riding my bike to a mall, a further mall with more and better games, wondering if my score still stood. i went back and forth with a user, i knew his initials. finally after a year i saw him and he was old !! like 45 or so - anyway yeah, the high score or top 10. it IS exciting and makes you want to play more !! i'm reppin' you again dude - :first:

Joined up, because, as Buck Buckerson would say, "Exclusivity is meaningless until every man jack of us has it!" lain:

Okay, so I'll still be giving rep to any post I like, but I am going to be more mindful of my excluded brethren...and, of course, anyone who reps me, because that's just good manners and I'm from the South...exceptions being for people who rep me and can't a put together a cogent sentence with glue, scissors and a copy of War and Peace, but that's just fair. oly:

yep that was it! http://www.theologyonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=95072

Thanks, you owe me a massive apology Chrys for saying i was lying and have no credibility.

You were taking advantage of the fact that i couldn't remember the name - but you knew it existed, i even told you earlier it was over meshak, i just couldnt remember the name of the thread.

Now Chrys, if you want to go on record as long as youve been here, to say you have never seen a thread in "and the rest" that had the express purpose to rep the person above you, then its actually YOUR credibility at stake, weve all seen them.

now all you have to do is find the post where I said that

 

[Angel4Truth]

I didn't make any claim about what was in the screenshot

angel made a claim, an accusation
but
she can't back it up
nor
can any of her friends

can anyone here name the rep thread that a4t is talking about?

she is sure you all saw it

do you think it is reasonable to accuse someone of something in a thread that no longer exists?

in a thread that you cannot even name

it is not reasonable

you accused me of starting a rep thread
but
you can't name it
but
you use it to support your argument
and
I am calling you on it

Ok Chrys, if you need people to not know you made a thread just for reps, over meshak- whatever. Give me one of your weird awards or something.

name it

then you shouldn't be talking about it

well I am accusing you of making up the fact that I started a rep thread

are you going to look for it?

and
you did say the thread was deleted?

 

[Sherman]

I can delete that thread to free up bandwidth for the forum software update. I looked at that thread and it a mess of namecalling. It is not worth keeping.

Before anyone starts flinging mud etc, let me just say that I had no problem with all reps being reset to zero, or even if the whole thing had just been scrapped altogether. What I object to is the latter of the following if this was supposedly the actual intent:

Yes there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. But with a new fresh start it will give a new, more accurate representation of user reputation moving forward.

How? By gaming the system behind the scenes so that those privy to such can have rep scores escalated through the roof while everyone else can only give a paltry few points or so? How is that honestly representative of user reputation or the actual contents and merits of a persons posts? If it had been reset to zero and everyone was on a level playing field then that would have been representative of users. As it is it's anything but, and as such is a joke.
