Sledge Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 If you miss the rep system that much, you could just keep a list of who you would + or -, and PM people everytime you give them an imaginary rep point. Link to post Share on other sites
Pablo Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 That's a bloody good metaphor (or something) for life, that is. Link to post Share on other sites
lineman66 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 thanks for being fair pablo, I didn't like the rep system that much anyways. Link to post Share on other sites
(V)atrix Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 (edited) Good riddance! Neat idea, and potentially useful for things like sales, but far too open to abuse in the general forums. Especially in the hands of fervent fan boys that are incapabe of maturely debating the quality and/or shortcomings of products made by [insert company name].

Gir Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 This is a bad-bad news for the good guys, reputable traders with high rep. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, it WOULD'VE been, if thats what it was used for......................... Instead its used for degrading certain people, and making this site its own social class. Haha Sledge with no rep points, whats next, the apocolypse? Link to post Share on other sites
The Crunchy Bunny Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Damn, I worked hard for those 13 rep points I had. I need to go cry. Because of that and that I never got to see seki call himself utterly retarded". Link to post Share on other sites

Sledge Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Don't worry, Gir, we'll be able to degrade you without the rep system. Link to post Share on other sites
joeking27 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Is the 50 post thing in place still? Link to post Share on other sites
101matt1 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Don't worry, Gir, we'll be able to degrade you without the rep system. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> *my new wall paper* Yeah, is the 50 post rep limit thing still in place? It seems like it should be gone, now that there's no real way to abuse the rep system. Like I sold a couple things to a few guys who use the forums only for sales, but they couldn't give me rep, because of the 50 post count thing... Link to post Share on other sites
The End Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 bout time the rep system is gone. good job, now if only the site people can keep this site from going down so frequently. Link to post Share on other sites
Bengali Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 my reps, my beautiful reps its a shame we couldnt keep the ones we got from sales, but then how many years would it have taken for the mods to sift through everyones feedback so i understand why it was all dumped.

Basho Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 bah, I was quite proud of mine... oh well. At least I had some nice things said about my postings! Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Andrews Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 bah, I was quite proud of mine... oh well. At least I had some nice things said about my postings! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You had a reputation? [shakes head in wonderment] Link to post Share on other sites
PenGun Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 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. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But a lot of Arnies greatest b.s. artists have huge numbers of posts. Some of the most unhelpful, stupid rubbish I've read on this forum has been from CS-kiddies who must spend all day chairsofting and slagging off skirmishing noobs for asking genuine questions. Like the infamous SEARCH NOOB!!! posts (which deserved a name-and-shame jerk points system all of its own), despite the fact that searching only ever gives me 8 million pages on totally unrelated subjects And now me and Hauk can't exchange +1's for our budding HK collections And Sledge can't get buttered up by noobs either Though Candyman should still have Legend status somehow...maybe some sort of fancy custom font or something only he can use Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 searching only ever gives me 8 million pages on totally unrelated subjects eeh gads. Someone hasn't read the guide to searching I see Try limiting the search to thread titles or separate subforums Link to post Share on other sites
Wai Hoong Chan Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 it's a shame that people were abusing the rep system, though most of us know who to trust on the sales forums anyway I really do like the larger pm inbox though Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Ha, i knew that if the rep system ever gets mentioned, the name Sledge soon follows...... Link to post Share on other sites
Tostitos Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 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.). Well put. Perfectly put. In it's place, it would be nice if posts/threads can be rated on a one to five star rating. This is displayed in vB once a thread gets at least fifteen or so votes, and then you can see a few in the topic list that have stars showing their voted rating. Link to post Share on other sites
