Arnie Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 The rep system has been flushed and for the moment is only there for sales feedback. At present the addon is likely not to be added back for the next forum software upgrade. Database was locked out for 4 mins while I ran the query to flush the rep settings to zero, plus to sync and fix the database key that was corrupt (copied it like that from the old box).

1st Commando Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Good Good maybe using the rep system for sales will decrease the amount of bad traders a bit .Untill now bad sales rep could easily be hidden among other rep points . Nice one Link to post Share on other sites
Connery Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Wonderful news. Now I can flame people without worry of getting yelled at by said person. Link to post Share on other sites
101matt1 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Does anyone else already miss the old system? I thought it was fine, myself... Link to post Share on other sites
1st Commando Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 (edited) Wonderful news. Now I can flame people without worry of getting yelled at by said person untill a mod rightfully gives you warn points Edited April 21, 2007 by 1st Commando Link to post Share on other sites
FarEast Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 untill a mod rightfully gives you warn points <{POST_SNAPBACK}> True that and at 30 points already viper is in the top ten for a free vacation from Arnies! Link to post Share on other sites
Lithium Jack Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 (edited) Oh well, now we're gonna have to judge peoples' rank in the forum hierarchy by post count rather than post count : rep point ratio like before. Better get posting, guys. True that and at 30 points already viper is in the top ten for a free vacation from Arnies! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought the point of warn points was that other people aren't supposed to know how many you have?

1st Commando Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 (edited) So now you are encouraging spam posting just to boost post count too ? You really are trying to upset the Admin Edited -for Speelang mastics Edited April 21, 2007 by 1st Commando Link to post Share on other sites
Catman Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 (edited) oh thats s**t, I worked hard for the +168 points I had edit: seriously annoyed at this Edited April 21, 2007 by Catman Link to post Share on other sites
Lithium Jack Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 (edited) Maybe I should have added a " " I was trying to be ironic, sorry Edit: But my point rests that people will always judge other people based on something, and if it's not rep points then the next thing I notice is post count.

Rob15 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Are the +/- signs showing up by the rep bar in sales threads for any of you guys?, or is it just my rep thingie thats *fruitcage*ed over still >_< Link to post Share on other sites
snowman Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 (edited) Post count just proves you have nothing better to do...(and, no, I don't exclude myself from that...) Glad to see the back of the Rep system, it was a pointless waste of time as it stood. Cheers. Edited April 22, 2007 by snowman Link to post Share on other sites

Marlowe Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Ding dong the waste of forum overhead is dead. As you probably all know from my previously stated view of the reputation system as it was being used, I'm glad to see the back of it. Hopefully now that its use is restricted to the sales system we can see it used for something more meaningful than childish retaliation against those who immature members don't agree with, and the most bizarre popularity contest ever (I'm popular with total strangers. Woo.). As has already been said, in its previous form it truly was just meaningless numbers on the intarwebz. I think a big thanks is due to Arnie for restricting its use back to its previous form.

CountDoom Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Yay! Fantastic decision. It was more of a bitching and fanboy system than a rep system by the end. Shame my positive sales reps have gone, but tis all for the common good. Nice one. Link to post Share on other sites
Chrissyg Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 But now that all the reps for good sales have gone. Now people cant check peoples rep to see how reputable they are? Quite a few people dont bother with the good&bad traders section.. Link to post Share on other sites
Lithium Jack Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 That's my main concern too. Seems a little harsh on the people who actually did get most of their rep from good transactions. Can't be helped I suppose Link to post Share on other sites
