Since you cant rep someone again until you rep another 20 people, that stops you from commenting on their posts. Therefore we should get rid of rep (it doesnt mean anything anyway) and keep commenting.
That is an excellent idea, although I don't think Jesse will go for it.
Or have them as two seperate things.
[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]Too bad this hasn't been [URL=http://www.vgchat.com/showthread.php?t=687]thought[/URL] of before.[/COLOR]
But if you reply just to say "I agree" or "You are wrong" or something like that, its a waste of time replying with another post, antd it clutters it up.
I think we need rep, cuz thats how we can take somebody seriously. If the guy is like at -50 of rep, then I can see that hes not really nice/a good poster. If hes like at 2056 (like DEXTER) then I see that hes more likely to be a moderator/super mod, then I guess i'm likely to read what he posted.
Oh! By the way...Why isen't DEXTER a Super mod? He's the best poster of the site! :devil:
I think he was a super moderator here before, I think. I'm probably mistaken, though, I'm no expert on the history of this site.
Oh was he??? Dexter has been in this site for like 3 years now, so he has more experience than regular members. The best is Jesse since he created the site... :devil:
No, he hasn't.
Quoting Flame ghost: Oh! By the way...Why isen't DEXTER a Super mod? He's the best poster of the site! :devil:
I certainly hope you're not judging by rep.
But either way, it's because his (supposed (hi dex ;D)) tendency to play games doesn't go down well with the moderators, not to mention that Jesse wouldn't trust him, and many mods dislike his attitude - though I really don't think that's a very good reason, personally, and I find him easy to get along with. Besides, he's said himself that he's not even 100% sure whether he wants to be one.
Judging by the time they've been here is pretty dumb, too. Jesse's the last person you'd want as admin, and he's been here the longest.
[EDIT: [quote=(rep comment for this post)]Flame ghost disagrees: I'm not sure if I need to take you as seriously as I should...I'm sure that if your post had made sense I wouldn't have been as inclined to remove rep. Oh, and the entire "DOWNREP ME AND I DOWNREP YOU" attitude is unbearably stupid - seeing as I formulated a competent response to both yours and legend saber's posts, the only real thing that would give you any grounds on which to derep me would be in that you couldn't take being derepped. The ability to irritate someone at the click of a button is so entertaining.
By the way, I'd think about taking first grade english again if I were you, seeing as your comment basically amounted to "I shouldn't do what I should do." thanks for your time!!!! :kiss:]
:::Flame ghost disagrees: I'm not sure if I need to take you as seriously as I should...
But he has over 1,200 reputation points!!!!!
:::The best is Jesse since he created the site...
Now THAT is kiss-up!!! ppl have to be on crack to say I'm da best!!! I drive every one insane acting like a n00bie, like the reply in your 0-1 post thread!!!
Dexter is a hacker, there 4 he will never be a Super Mod, and never way. He just has to hack da place to do what he wants done. Real One Bjarni wil become a Super Mod before him!!!
Oh man i rember him from the old Vgchat, when it was set up liek an rpg. I miss those days Jesse.
Ok...well...I dont care finally...Ill stick with my disagreemen about taking off rep, but I wont say a thing. :devil:
Disclaimer! I didn't ban you!!!! You should know that the Super Mods don't like it when you become a n00bie!! Don't worry, every mod/super mod had been where you are, a n00bie!!!!! Geting banned is a sign that one day you will be a mod!!!!! :D:D:D:D
Rep doesn't say anything about the quality of a person's post, or the person, and I think some people here take it a little too seriously.
Quoting Jesse Smith: Disclaimer! I didn't ban you!!!! You should know that the Super Mods don't like it when you become a n00bie!! Word. :cool: [quote=Jesse Smith]Don't worry, every mod/super mod had been where you are, a n00bie!!!!! Geting banned is a sign that one day you will be a mod!!!!! :D:D:D:D
Not really. I don't smell quite a few banned members ever getting mod spots, and I was never banned.
Anyways, I think that Ayumu Yumi phrased all my thoughts on the matter in a far more condensed, easy to comprehend manner than I could have. So, yeah, I basically agreex1000 with him. :)
Jesse! This is my new account (I'm flame Ghost)
Since you banned me, I can't do anything on your site anymore, so I got to create a new account, and I hope I wont get ban again. Whats crackoisme?
If I understood well what u said, it means that I will become a mod some day??? That would be cool! I dint think about it, but I guess I could do it (no comments sabredog plz).
I'd like to apologize everyone for what i've done in this forum section...I kinda got too far with my opinions...
Too bad it's against the rules to reregister after being banned.
DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never banned you!! I UNABNNED you once!!!! We need members like you, hince they baned you!!!! :D:D:D:D:D
[quote]Whats crackoism?
Here, I'll translate your title....
::: pze no ban me!
You got banned, so of course you want 2 beg to not get banned *hint* PMs...!!!
:::I wacko crackoism.
You are a wacko with crackoism. Only wackos get banned. Crack is a drug that messes you up. Banned members are messed up, there for they have this disibility called 'wacko crackoism'!!!
::: pze understand crackoism.
Banned members are like Real One Bjarni. You want us to understand your disability, only this time it's crackoism, aka being messed up, being a n00bie, not autisim!!!
pze no ban me, I wacko wackoism, pze understand crackoism!!!
What'd he do that was so bad? I was in the middle of a conversation with him in the Starcraft thread and now I don't get to finish...
::Flame ghost agrees: the Idiot is still reading the posts! Watch yourself in 3 weeks when I come back!::
Oh, no! Look out for the flame ghost! He's coming back.
Go to hell.
Hasnt this topic gotten quite far off topic? I think a mod should just delete this entire post or lock it up.
No! Flame ghost would get mad and retaliate and... and... I don't know what he'll do. Prolly nothing.
I like the rep, i just hate the fact that no one gives me any
See! my point exactly, i join this site for fun and people just give me bad rep because they want to.
Boy... this reputation system is starting to become quite the obcessive object. But, I don't see how giving/taking reputation can also count as commenting on a post... I mean, don't you--
Bah forget it, I just awswered my own question. It make me go crazy when people are always "Rep me back k?!". I get that a lot...
Look, there is a thread in the computer games about online games. This is just proof that the rep system just doesn't work:
His rep power is zero. So he doesn't pose any "threat" to your reputation.
I wasn't worried about my reputation, I couldn't care less whether it was 100 or -100. I don't see the point. The point I was trying to make with Nilgrim is that he's probably not the only one doing it. Its possible to rep or derep someone with no reason whatsoever.
I think your missing my point. What I am talking about is the fact that people can just rep or derep people with no reason. It doesn't matter that the only people that do it are noobs, what matters is that the whole basis of rep is that people who post good and meaningfull posts get reputation for it and people that post bad posts get dereped. What really happens it that not everone that posts good posts are reped and not everyone that posts bad posts are dereped. Just face it, rep doesn't work as it was mean't to work.
You don't understand. Rep is there for members with high rep to abuse, which then allows them to abuse rep futher.
No I think you don't understand. Members with high rep don't generally abuse it. This is becuse the only people with high rep are members who have been here for a long time and have posted a lot. If you get high rep and abuse it, you don't keep it for very long.
Do you have any proof that Draxamus and Bj are abusing their rep? When you make these accusations you have to have somehting to back it up with. You can't just go around accusing people of abusing their rep without having some proof.
Haha, Someone PMed me asking for rep trading. I simply said no to the stupid concept and derepped him, and I later got a derep from him on one of my posts that said something like "You sure are ugly".
Rep sucks, but it's good for a laugh. :cool:
We can't have the circle of moderator's tarnished at all on these forums. We must protect them from trash such as as me and future iterations of me. But how to do? Only the moderators can rep, how about that? That way we can attack trash such as me, and not have to learn how to spell or be nice without getting nuked by noobies like me.
Maybe there should be an agree/disagree with comments, except there is no repping level, people merely discuss what they think. But that is eliminating the point of talking on the board itself. So, maybe thats a bad idea.
That's a really good idea. I hope the circle of moderators listens to this trash and responds to it in the appropriate way. That doesn't mean that they delete the post and ban the member.
[quote=maian]I later got a derep from him on one of my posts that said something like "You sure are ugly".
Heh; I have to go to school with him. :(
As for rep, who cares if it's being abused? Far as I'm concerned, it's a silly, useless number that doesn't do anything.
That'e great. I really think that that should be used instead of the repping system. Much better.
I guess...I'm starting to get tired of rep too.
Too bad The admin will never get rid of rep, cuz he likes it too much :(
By the way...What is the power reputation?
NEWSFLASH, this just in: Mod poll going on about demoding that naughty Super Mod.
Current results: 100% say to de-mod him!!!
Bad mod, bad!!!! I only voted yes cause he keeps deleting the threads that cause entertainment here, aka World War 3, 4, 5, and 6!!!!
Poll update: Now it's six mods saying to de-mod him and zero say not to. So he might be toast unless he get's all his mod buddies to vote for him!!!!
:::Majesty agrees: You know, I think I love you. :kissing:
Oh crud!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jesse...I dont understand what ur talking about. Whats happening?
":kissing:"? I meant :kiss:, of course. :D
edit - it's nothing to do with you, pretend it isn't happening.
Awesome. I'm glad to see some action on the mods part. Congrats, Jack.
Edit: it's at 10 for demod, 0 for keepin' him. thx [source] ;)
Alastor, Altinure, Anigmasis, Jesse Smith, Linkman, Majesty, netman, Pit, Sabredog, and Skitzo Control have all voted no!!! We have COOL mods here!!! :D:D:D:D
pze no delete the poll or this thread!!!!! :D:D:D:D
meh. Rep is an interesting, if pointless system, but some people (eg. I feel Yellow?) take it way too far, i.e "I'll rep random people in the hope i get repped back, and if they derep me I'll derep them twice!". Does rep even affect your posting ability, or is it purely ornamental?
SOME ONE DELETED THE DE-MOD POLL AND MADE A NEW POLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now it's seven voting yes and one voting no.
It's Admiral Arthritis, doing his worst, again...
Haha. If he gets de-modded, then who will fill his shoes?
[quote=Jessah]I take it you never look at the poll board??!!!!
Nope. :(
I dont think that any super mod should be de-mod, cuz they're all good.
You never know. People change over time. Just look at Iris - there's an emoticon entirely DEVOTED to her and how she used to be a moron, she got banned several times, and now she mods board help and suggestions. She had far rockier a start than you, as did Kodachi, maian, and many of the members who are now excellent mods. I don't think that it's too unlikelt a prospect for you, if you keep at it. :amy:
[EDIT: Addressed to PoisonGo[b][/b]dMachine, but it could indeed apply to Flame ghost also.]
Eh??
What are you gettin' steamed about?
*looks suspiciously around*
You all know I'm a curse. The mark of the beast is a curse, hince the 666!!!!!!! pze give me 3 more rep points!!!!!!
:::Except me. :mad:
You are a Corrupted member. That's close to being a n00bie. (Hint: Look at the Washington DC liberals!!!) :D:D:D:D
Now I got both 666 rep points AND 666 rep power, hince that pze give me three rep points!!! Now to temporarly edit my post count, and make a screen shot!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D
Um, look at my signiture!!!! :D:D:D:D:D
You dont have 6666 posts anymore.
Nor does he have 666 rep.
Jesse, can't you just manually alter your rep so that it always reads 666?
Seriously, you kinda are the admin, and all.
He had it yesterday (666 rep).
Jesse, what are you tryin to accomplish by gettin equal rep and rep power?
Uggg, brainless, look at the image in the signiture. Any one with brains would know what's why I wanted to have 666 Rep Points, to make that image. I'm too lazy to edit my rep!!!
:bash::bash::bash::bash::bash:
:::::.......this WAS what you had......
No poop Shirlock. Try learning about the number 666. er think I should change your rep to -666???!!!!
:::::Jesse....Do you think I could be the moderator of the yoshi cookie board?
Sorry, one requirement for being a mod is to have a working brain!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
I think it would be cool to see Jesse's Rep to go up to 1000.
Hmm...This thing has gotten far too complicated. Jesse will decide what he will do with his rep.
Hey, can you put "Arrange by reputation" back in the Member Listing? It was sooo much easier to find people that way.
Erm... would'nt he anyway?
666, according to the bible, is the number of the devil or something. Therefore, jesse refered to it as a 'curse'.
Mark of the beast. Cursed be he who has that number. I am a curse, hince the number all over the place!!!! :D:D:D
I'm scared.
Jesse doesn't use it much anyway. Only on people who deserve it.
Just on n00bs.
They usually leave the forum after they get curse by jesse.
Alright, I'm complaining about getting bad rep on stupid things. I've gotten to -29 for dumb-arse reasons. I am very ticked off. I'd like it if you could punish those who give you -rep for dumb things. I can't give ANYONE rep, and that's cuz I DID NOT DO ANYTHING AT ALL. I only counter-attack, I never attack. I make a few jokes, and no one gets them, they take it as an insult or something, and they bad-rep me. Or they're bullies. I think anyone who's a known bully (i.e., Bebop, sorry, but you ARE one, dude) should get their account deleted permanently. Why? PEOPLE LIKE ME ARE MISERABLE!! GAH!!!
Oh, and another thing: could you add a seperate rep system so that someone can rep someone's sig and keep it seperate from the post? I just saw someone with TWO +reps for their signature. I got a neg rep on mine becasue I didn't spell the 1337 version of "fear" the way they know. Can you keep those seperate?
I wouldn't complain... I have -55, and there are others that are way into the - 100's
Believe me, I don't think anyone could be more peeved off about their reputation than bunnesta. -666 points is friggin' harsh.
And about the counter-attacking. Are you sure that by doing that, you haven't ticked off a timebomb from other people? It would be like being called a jack-as for helping someone, or for just being in a room or... something... (bad examples, but), you could be attacking for no reason at all, or the wrong way.
Wait was the beginning topic of this thread?
...The reason I'm getting bad rep is becasue it's the cool thing right now. I'm a perfectly normal (well, I have AD/HD, but that's not major at all) human being. I'm not a . I'm just a very upset person when he looks at the evil es who are doing this just becasue it's fun to look at me squirm. I'm not saying what I want to say about them becasue that's sinking to their level.
...And the rules say that you should just let people trample ALL over you for you doing NOTHING?! They prolly don't, but saying that made me think that.
AND I AM MAKING A F U C K I N G POINT HERE, PEOPLE!!! I'm most likely not the only person on here getting negative rep for the fact that it's a fad to do that. I mean, Arczu mentioned someone with -666 (woah, talk about bad coincedence...-666...or, wait, is that good?) and I've heard of others with bad rep. Don't ignore me, okay? Please.
I'm saying this now:
DON'T BAD REP OTHERS JUST BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE DO IT TO THEM. THEY WILL BE VERY MAD AT YOU, AND YOU WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED HARSHLY BEFORE YOU GO TO HEAVEN.
I could go on, but seeing as you guys don't like me talking and voicing my opinion, I'll not rant on that.
And, people, do you think that I'm a heartless person like the rest of you and don't mind negative rep for being nice?? Look. I'll stop countering. But not for poinless bad rep. Anyway, I'm sensitive. And don't bomb me saying things like "Ooh, suck it up" or anything. I'm in the middle of a divorce, with me staying with the parent I don't like as much. Seperated from my sister and Mother becasue the courts are s. I have enough to put up with. I don't want to put up with your stupidness anymore. FROM NOW ON, I AM REPORTING ANYONE WHO BAD REPS ME FOR AN UNJUST REASON. EXAMPLE IS BECASUE THEY'RE BEING MEAN. THAT'S BAD. GOOD REASON IS ONE THAT NOT ONLY RELATES TO THE POST, BUT IS ACTUALLY GIVEN AND SEEN BY ME AS FAIR. And by now, you ought to know I'm fair. I'm shutting up now, you s.
Oh, and sorry to all the nice people out there who wasn't a jerk replying to my post.
And what's the conversation about now?
I guess its moved from being a general discussion, to discussing individual members rep. Iris asked what the origional topic was, so I told him.
Just to stay in the rep subject, I would suggest that rep disappears and be replaced by the old school stuff: The hp, mana, exp bars. It made it more classic. Dont you think? I'm just sugessting.
What could possibly replace rep...Probably anything....
Man, those bars were addictive. It reminds me of people who spammed up the board just so they could "level up"-- yeesh!
I think that reputation is no so much neccesaey, especially when people start complaining how they lost some, or have negative and such.
...Wait a sec--
reputation is cool. i would have liked to see some other form of 'respect-o-meter' though. even though rep. is cool it is also boring. something like a hp meter or a rising tower wouldhj habe been better.
No it wouldn't have. We had those on the last version of vgc, and final fantasy idiots joined and spammed to level up.
actually youre right. no mater how the numbers are displayed theyre still numbers. it really doesnt chanfe a thing.
I take it you're bipolar :)
Maybe you're just charming?
OR INSANE CRAZY! *ugh*
I WAS GOING TO REP YOU TOO AND RAISE IT TO 1300 BUT THEN I REMEMBERED YOU SUCK
And I can't rep you again for a while.
I WON'T REP ANYBODY BECAUSE I HATE YOU ALL
STFU NOOB (I can't rep you :()
This thread is really going weird. Oh well.
I HATE REPPING!!!
I don't, comments are fun. :)
Now that Jesse is back, JESSE HERE MY/OUR PLEA, STOP REPPING AND KEEP COMMENTING!!!
By the way, there is another aspect of repping that annoys me, picture repping. Recently I got repped by higbvuyb who repped me with a huge image.
And personally I find that offensive
