No one? Admins still can :p

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

Are admins above the law? :baby:

Seize them! They're traitors who try to take over the Republic!! Oh wait, other scene.

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

Starting over? This is an outrage! I worked hard for my reputation and I refuse to hand it over to some corporate puppet for his games. If my reputation so much as decreases by one point from unnatural causes, complaints will be made and boycotts will be taken.

My friends, we're on the verge of a giant revolution. As new powers settle into the throne, they desire to tear down our old ways of life and replace them with their new corrupt ways. Let us join in arms together and fight these new changes and defend our age-old way of life led by honor and truth! GameTavern is in peril and it needs your help!

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

Let's give GameMaster supreme powers to fight this problem. He will of course lay down these powers after the war is over. :devil:

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

Alright, everyone's reputation has been set to 0. These are the new rules:

• Each user is allowed 10 reputation clicks per day
• You must give reputation to two other users before you can give reputation to the same user again
• I will be watching for reputation circles where you plus rep another member for the sole purpose to increase your reputation (That's you GameMaster, Null, Danchastu, etc)
• Administrators and Moderators now follow the same reputation rules as all other members

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

One question...What exactly determines privileges at this point? Do you just remain in whatever group you were in before? What about the people who were just about to reach 3000 points and get more rights (hypothetically speaking, this doesn't personally affect me)...

I just edited your post to reflect my edited post so no one gets confused - Bond

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

You should still retain all the privileges you once had. If you run into problems post them here and I'll look into them.

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

This is great. I applaud Bond for listening to and acting upon complaints and suggestions.


/me shrugs and walks away

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

HEY!!! My points just went to 0!!!

I didnt do anything!

Bond help me out!

EDIT: Oh never mind...

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

Wha? I never plus rep so my own will increase. The idea actually never even crossed my mind. I just give rep to those I feel are deserving. Some people express ideas I like a lot more than others and more frequently. I receive rep from people I never plus rep before. And a lot of them are anonymous so I have no idea who's giving me it anyway.

Maybe you could set up a table showing who we gave rep to like the one showing the latest rep received.

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

You must've reversed the colors also becasue I managed to get a red pip before anyone else. :)

Reputation circle? I know of no such thing. Whatever though, I'm willing to be the example criminal if it helps deter others from negative activity.

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

I think this was a good Idea.


It got too out of hand, with all the abusing of the rep system.

And as long as people keep what they had because of the rep, and dont lose the rights to change custom titles, or view certain threads which they once could, then all is well.


I mean, can 2 colours and a few numbers really mean that much to anyone? Post count, and Rep is really and truly pointless in its own ways.

Rep is fun and all, and it shows who thinks what of you, but I agree with whoever said that taking away the ability to see who did it, leaves you open for random - reppings by people who don't like you for whatever reason.

But at least if you are going to have rep on the boards, it better be a working system.

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

Another question. Does this new system outlaw the idea of "advertised rep party threads" as sometime post milestones or birthday threads become? I always thought that those were silly, but harmless in the same way, I dunno...

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

:rofl:

In all reality, reputation only has its purpose when you frequently encounter strangers. With something like Xbox Live, it has its purpose. If there's someone who is obnoxious, doesn't play fair, and frequently quits out of games, you'll know when he enters the game.

On a forum, you tend to know the reputation of everyone. On one this small, you know the reputation of everyone.

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

Bug still works. can still see who gives you the rep.


exactly. the idea behind a rep, is for people who dont know that person, can see what others think of him.

like i ask a question and GettoBob comes on an answers, i've never seen GettoBob before, and his rep has all negatives, i know how seriously to take his answer.


rep just doesnt work on a small group like this.

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

Yeah, good question. I was wondering that one as well.

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

in all honesty does it even matter? such a question just shows how pointless the reps are. they'll get used for the same thing they've always been used for. the only effect it has that everyone starts over. and to keep things like that, rep will have to be reset once a month. otherwise its just going to be exactly the same.

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

YES! rep has to be earned. It's a fair race now. :D

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

But only for a month.


Then you start over again.


Apparently.

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

Where did you get that from?

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

Im in a state of confusion about what he said too.

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

That's where Typhoid got it, I think. Its not actually what's going to happen, I don't think, so... I guess he got confused?


/me shrugs and walks away

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

It was a joke.



Not so much as a joke, just a non-factual statement.

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

You're free to give reputation to whomever you want to. So yes.

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

Really?

"You tell it how it is and you're not afraid of anyone here. You're perfect for my secret. We nearly got caught after the last rep/doubloon scandal so we're taking a break. When we begin again, I'll give you a call. -GM"

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

I dunno who that was to but isn't posting that sort of like the equivalent of the government reading your private mail and distributing it for all to see?

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

The government does that?

/me stops sending mail.

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

Anyone can produce a quote, it takes a screenshot to prosecute a criminal and even then, editing software makes it hard to bust anyone. And shouldn't someone of an administrative position take caution to jump seriously at anything said by a fun-loving joker?

I appreciate Danchastu bringing the violation of privacy to the communities attention though. Its important for the members to know that scandal and rule-bending for personal gain occurs on both sides of the dinner plate.

Anything I do is soley for the benefit and well-being of my fellow gamers. I should hope the person who performed this reputation change would hold the same interests in heart.

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

This is a privately owned and operated non-profit website. Can you all please shut up ?

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

^ Someone isn't as paranoid as he should be. :banana:

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

What he said

Well seeing as how the rep system was changed, whats the point of this thread now?

Re: The Reputation System Needs to Change
 

Yes, well, if anyone wants to leave feedback about the new reputation system you can start a new thread.
