Rep Power




Posted by Klarth

Mine seems to have about halved... In fact, so has that of everybody else.

I'm not actually complaining, but why has this happened and what's not being taken into account anymore? The boost from how much rep we have?




Posted by Morag2

Hmm... it couldn't be the boost from you much rep you have... because that would put your rep down to 4. (3 from 3000 posts and 1 from your time here)... It probably switched to 200 Rep = 1 Power, 2000 posts = 1 Power, 2 years = 1 Power.




Posted by Arczu

Not like I could change people's rep that much anyway...




Posted by William

It was probably changed since some of the more "n00bie"-like members complained about their reputation being decreased so much...since one de-rep by a high-rep power member could devastate the "n00bie" rep. That's what I'm thinking anyhow.

Sounds about right.

Posted by Legend Saber

Goodie, now I have, like, two rep. Behold my awesome rep power.
Eh, not like I had much to begin with.




Posted by Shade

Dang, I liked being able to de-rep the stupid newbies for more than 3. :(




Posted by Axis

Didn't notice, and dont really care.




Posted by Jak Pattinson

unlucky to all the xperienced members who lost their rep. pretty cool.




Posted by Jesse Smith

For every X points of reputation, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power: From 100 to 250.

Bah, you all got too much reputation power!!!!!! You're geting too powerful!!!! :D:D:D:D

I know, you can say it.... er look who's talking!!!!! Speak for yourself!!! :D:D:D:D

Yes I noticed this. And I just got my power to give 6 rep too. :(. Bleh. whatever.

I'm amazed that Dex still manages to have 25 rep power.




Posted by Lethal Shadow

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Shade again.

:(




Posted by brownoystercult

Hey guys, it's Kopaka's fault.




Posted by Shade

Yes, most definately.




Posted by Boner

Yeah, I just now noticed this myself. I guess it doesn't really bother me. At least I got some good rep the past couple of weeks while some of the "big shots" around here still had meaty rep power :D




Posted by Richaod

This unbalances the amount of rep we have, since now it's harder to get any back if you were actually derepped by higher members.




Posted by Jesse Smith

Only if you are a n00bie has your rep been unbalanced! er, yep, u r a n00bie!!!!

Posted by loony636

Well, I never had more than one rep power, so I guess it doesn't impact on me much...except that other members can't bring my rep down much lower than it already is...

*Note to de-reppers, I expected to get de-repped on account of this post.
*Note to de-reppers, just because I expect to get de-repped, doesn't mean you have to de-rep me.

Posted by higbvuyb

If you put everyone's rep power back, and then doubled their rep, it would all be the same.

But you'd have to double the starting rep to 20.




Posted by Hyper_chao1122

Let's rep everyone back so everyone's rep power is back to normal!!!! Hey wait a minute, half of 3 isn't 1, I should have 1.5 rep power! At least you guys are mighty! :(

Posted by Arczu

I really don't think it will get back to the "normal" we know of. And even with half the power gone... it's not impossible to rev it back up.

But I wonder why I have slightly more power than some other people in my range. some people in this area have 2...

Oh... thanks for the boost ppl. (There's a term I don't use that often...)

Post count probably.



Posted by Iris

+1 rep power for registering.
+1 rep power for every 100 reputation.
+1 rep power for every 1,000 posts.
+1 rep power for every year spent at VGC.

Shutup, ho. You just now divided rep power in half. And my rep power was changed based on my total rep power, not just rep power gained by reputation points.



Posted by The Judge


Quoting Fei-on Castor: But still, mostly mighty, right?

The answer is yes. It was only a small, and more importantly momentarily, lapse in both my ego and my actual demonic power.

Why bother, it just gives n00bs further to fall.



Posted by Iris

Yeah, because n00bs should totally have positive rep!




Posted by Fate

I've never repped so many undeserving people until this thread was made. All the people I do want to give rep to don't amount to twenty, so I have to get rid of the count.

Ghey.




Posted by Klarth

If they're undeserving, then why not just de-rep?




Posted by Fate

I only do that to deserving people, as well. To be frank, I don't really disagree for the sake of disagreeing.




Posted by Morag2

I don't derep unless I have a very good reason (such as the need to conform with 10 other people who derepped)... I like to give rep alot, but I can't really do much anyway. In fact I'm gonna rep the above poster just for the heck of it.




Posted by Fate

why

That's why I don't like reputation points. I only like the nifty feature of having my comments shown, otherwise I wouldn't do it at all.




Posted by loony636

Well, because of my anti-rep fanatics, I have now got negative rep!




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Dude! You're the reason rep power has been cut! You had been here less than a month, yet you allready had a rep power of four!!!! So I checked the rep power cause I though it only went up once per 250 rep, but no, it was per 100. So if any one needs to be de-reped bombed, you do!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!! :D:D



Posted by Shade

And because he hates iPods. I mean, come on. Who hates those?

I only rep posts that I feel are good posts, and had some thought thrown into them. Or if they just made me laugh a lot. I de-rep whenever I read a post and think, "What a f*cking idiot, who would post this crap? A f*cking idiot, that's who."

The above was my post in the "Swearing" thread.

"I de-rep whenever I read a post and think, "What a f*cking idiot, who would post this crap? A f*cking idiot, that's who."

no. you de-rep "because you can."



Posted by Shade

I don't like people who tell me to let the censor do its job. Thusly why I derepped, the dropping it below 500 was just a quirk. ;)

Yeah, if I saw a comment that said 500+, I'd derep them. Even if I don't usualy do that.

Just because.

Why don't we just have a public vote to keep or remove rep all together. I'm sure most people want it gone, seeing how everyone's contantly complaining about it.

Jesse, you said it yourself, you don't like people "abusing" the system (funny though, how you're one of them, mister 666), so why have it at all??

The commenting thing is cool, but I can't just disagree without lowering someone's number. And as we all know, you make enemies that way. :rolleyes:

I know it's been said several times to get rid of it, and I know it'll probably never happen, since the admin likes to keep whatever annoys people, but can't we please just make a poll??

Only because it's there. If there was no rep, no one would worry about how low or high theirs is, because THERE IS NONE! Even a wacko can undertsand that! :bash::bash::bash:

And yea, jacking your power to triple digits is abuse.

Me too. For me, it's fun to see how much that number changes day by day. OH MY GOSH, I LIKE REP, MAY G*D SMITE ME DOWN!

Also, the system seems to be much less abused than in the past. Although there still are some problems, I think that people have pretty much stopped just giving out rep for random reasons. At least, that's what I've seen.

Posted by The Judge

Regardless if it is a worthless number, it is true that you can sometimes make judgements on the person in question based on their reputation. Example, if you're like Raptor or BJ with really high rep, people upon first glance will know you are a well respected member, whereas these people with nearly -300 rep people instantly recognize as a spammer or generally unliked. Without reputation points, there isn't any way to quickly asess who is of high standings on the site. Use me as an example. I would like to think I'm at held in at least medium-esteem here, but I've only been here a year.




Posted by Poison

What about people like me with 445 rep and 70 posts? I hope I'm not a spammer, and I do try to gain people's respects.

I'm held as a decent enough poster, right?

Posted by Morag2

Loony, the posts I've seen of you seem somewhat decent... however you've evidently done something to kill your rep so much. Like judge said, I like the rep to decide if another member is a respected poster... then there are people like me with a relatively low number... and I'm hopefully not completely hated, lol.

Quoting loony636: I'm held as a **** poster aren't I? Or is it just my anti-rep stand that has brought by rep into the negatives?



Perhaps your posts just really suck. I honestly can't be sure. I have not payed that much attention to you. Maybe you rep was sinking so low that you stopped caring about it, and you decided to get as much negative rep as possible. Maybe that's your claim to fame around here.


EDIT: Ok, I have read some of your posts recently. You're correct. You are a **** poster.
