Flaw in the rep system.

[Dirk]

The system was put in place in mid-2013 to keep me from getting all the rep.

and ass

The only flaw in the rep system is that Dirk doesn't get more.

 

[Nate DaMac]

I riled him up. He's using potty language without censoring it. Maybe next he'll formulate an actual thought.

This was mildly amusing.

The only flaw in the ass system is that Nate doesn't get more.

This worked. I repped them both in this thread.

Change IP address by program?

Oh yeah people have used proxies, VPNs, etc to change IP addresses and come back (I'm sure some of our older posters will not so fondly remember one Lord Sidious), which I always found pretty sad. A lot of times when people go this route they don't realize their posting/writing style and opinions remain the same and they can be easy to pick out a lot.

I think once you're here for a while you don't really pay attention to rep anymore. I hardly ever rep people. Not that some don't deserve it, I just don't think of it. The only time I really notice is when I go to rep Sally and I get the message I need to spread more. I swear months go by without me giving her rep but I always get the message. Her rep would be much higher if it actually counted every time I hit that button and got that message.

Legit question; does rep even matter all that much?

I mean, plenty of morons have a full bar of rep. I'm sure Chrome has more rep than WZCW creative combined

So, I checked into that as I said I would. Without revealing any poster's exact numbers, not only does the combined amount of rep behind the WZCW Creative team's current lineup equal a number more than 3 times as much as Chrome has.... every single individual member of WZCW's Creative team's current lineup has more rep than Chrome. For what it's worth though if you need further argument to fuel your statement that there are people who have a full rep bar that perhaps shouldn't, 290 posters have the full rep bar. You can see different little comments though when you move the mouse over the rep bar. The higher the poster's rep score the "better" that little comment will be. It changes every 2,000 points or so.

That's who I was talking about it my post.

She's a great poster around here.

Often I want to rep someone like Mustang Sally more but need to spread rep first.

Geez, Sally, who didn't give you some rep while I was away?

Didn't what we have mean anything to you!?!?!?!

The thirst is so very real.

It's a fucking wrestling forum.

Once your rep gets past a certain point where one negative rep can't sink your bar into red it becomes meaningless.

There's actually a bot that picks up whenever someone registers a new account using the same IP address as an already registered account, so that wouldn't really work.

Assuming that bot is still in place since I left the staff.

Fuck that fucking prick asshole motherfucker...

I hate the fact I missed Sidious' meltdown.

Thats my view point, but I remember when KB was justing dishing rep out left and right to get people to vote for him in the tournament alot of people started bitching about their place in the all-time leaderboard being taken from them and having a sook. If rep meant anything KB wouldnt have been giving it out like that.

I only use the rep system to figure out who is on their way to prison, if you're in the red there is a good chance you will be heading that way

You should have been here through MSNGate, and also when the rep rules got changed, as far as how green and red's value were determined.

Didn't he take all that rep back after the election though?

Sounds like a KB move.

Rep really only matters if someone's got hundreds upon hundreds of posts and shit all rep. You get enough rep from non spam just by not dying mid post that you just end up obtaining bars, so it gives me the presumption that the post will be rather meh if that's the case.

 

[Stone Cold Tea]

My point was it leads to repping people for the sake of repping. its not a big deal to me I was just aat here at work reading and came across something I wanted to rep but couldnt

 

[JGlass]

The real purpose of rep is that once you reach a certain number, you gain access to the super secret elite member moon base section of the forum.

But you didn't hear it from me.

 

[Mustang Sally]

Geez, Sally, who didn't give you some rep while I was away?

Ah shucks, you guys.

I like giving rep to show I appreciate good posts.

And I like receiving rep too, and wish it still was displayed on each post so I could lord it over people who have less than me.

 

[ShinChan]

I dont think its a flaw..... Its that a system has many advantages and one disadvantage
