Bring Back The Rep Number!

Pay Per Ghost

What they f*ck happened in the thread section here
I liked presuming 'oh look a wise veteran poster' and then going 'naah just another Doug Crashin'.
 
I prefer the little titles they have, like "scored a win over Santino" and "getting calls from TNA". Sometimes when my browser lags, then it displays this.
 
The only thing I'd like is to make rep easier to get. It is pretty difficult to get out of "looking to come up from OCW" with the current rep system. I frequent forums whose semi-experienced members have rep powers of 25+ and the biggest have power of over 500. I even sometimes visit the PW.com forum, whose biggest member has rep power of 10,000!

Surely that defeats the purpose though? I'd rather a slow build to know who's worth reading than end up wasting time (on a wrestling forum? NEVER!) on some guy who made kb chuckle once.
 
Yeah, if rep was easy to get- a lot of people would stop trying. The humor & creativity would take a nosedive. I dont care to inflate the ego of someone who has the thought process of a candy bar just so he does not feel left out.


You want more rep? Make better posts. Pretty simple concept already.
 
"User just got out of wrestling school"
"User is building reputation in the local indies"
"User was watched by an ROH scout on his off day"
"User is working the odd show for PWG"
"User is showing up on a few Internet lists"
"User has a couple of Japanese championships to their name"
"User was passed up in a TNA Gut Check seminar"
"'Why has no one signed User?' say IWC"
"User checked in to the Performance Center"
"User's NXT name is beginning to gain weight"
"User made the semi-finals of a Royal Rumble qualifying tourney"
"User has debuted on the main WWE roster"
"User is main-eventing Superstars"
"User's exploits were recapped on SmackDown"
"User pulled off an upset against the Miz"
"User just became United States Champion"
"User tagged with Cena in a six-man main event"
"User has reached the top 10 in the Power Rankings"
"User has gained their first dedicated DVD"
"User has claimed the WWE WHC"
"User is one of the faces of the company"
"User has won all active WWE titles"
"User is an admired veteran"
"User has received an emotional retirement"
"User is giving speeches to the wrestlers of the future"
"User has been inducted to the WWE Hall of Fame"

And for red rep users:
"User is pretty unpopular"
"User is getting serious X-Pac heat"
"User scares audiences away when they're advertised"

Just a few suggestions for new titles.

Think TNA have scrapped Gut Check. Just saying. But apart from that it's pretty good

Really? Because to me if their user name isn't bolded, I just assume they aren't worth my time and deserve an infraction. Just for being inferior.
 
Damn, I cracked the first page. The fact that Fagger and I have more rep than Gelgarin is deplorable. Rep really means nothing.
 
To be fair, most idiots round here probably stop reading halfway through his posts because Gelgarin is smarter than they are & likely do not understand what he means. I am sure it is a curse & blessing that he runs into frequently as a scholastic worldly traveler & means he usually does not have to waste time talking to idiots.


We all know Gelgarin > Dagger.

Pretty much the same case with Rayne, he's an excellent poster but I think most don't understand what he's on about because of his chosen vocabulary.

Is it me or do most of you guys get green rep in the spam sections more than you do in the wrestling sections?

It just depends where people tend to post the most and whether what is said is deemed rep-worthy.
