Um, guys...this thread has gone from the silly to the ridiculous to the absolute absurd and everything in between. Can we start being part of the solution rather than part of the problem now, por favor? Rich has been more than lenient with all of us, myself absolutely included....I think we all have a common goal here, so let's stop peeing on Rich's carpet and show him the respect he deserves in his house? Just sayin'....
I wasn't looking for advice. I wasn't asking for any of Rich's time. My post was a serious inquiry directed at helpful members whom might know if the new rules are posted so I wouldn't have to address either the moderators or the site owner. If I wanted their time I would've PM'd them directly.
I find "The most ridiculous ( and hypocritical) part of this entire thread " is beating a dead horse while whining about others beating a dead horse.
My post was legitimate and I don't appreciate your snide attitude with regards to it, feel free to take your "last" post, your insults and your attitude elsewhere...
PLEASE.

OK, who's life is actually suffering because they are getting less rep points? Who's happiness and mental well-being has been actually reduced because they aren't getting adulation from sycophants via the all necessary rep system? If the answer is nobody (which I really hope it is), then I still don't see the big deal. Shrug?
If anyone actually is SUFFERING because they can't get reps from people on a forum board, then I just really don't know WHAT to say.....lol.

No Rich, that was not directed at you, sir.Do you even know what "socialist" means? Interesting to see how you will apply that term to a message board site.
But I will tell you this, if your intention here is to belittle me, my decisions, or this site, I guarantee you will learn what a "dictatorship" is all about. :grabbit:
it was directed at those who originally came whining and complaining to your doorstep
Didn't Jeff Mohr run on a rep points platform, or am I mistaken? Where's he at? This should've been the first thing fixed the second he gained office . . . or is he busy attending party after party after party?

I have stayed out of this so far but I need to comment now. I MISS giving reps... Not getting them. To me the actual showing points mean Nothing! Its the knowing that what I said or pics I showed helped or touched someone. Isnt there a way to have a 'rep system' Without the points?? Anyone can abuse a point system but who would abuse a rep system without points? I know there is always a pm but... there are limits (and rightly so) on those. I say lets have a rep system without points. That way it wont load so much on the server and ppl can still 'rep' ppl that deserve it.
or am I talking goofy?? Too many meds today??
Cat-Eyed Lady... that is a fantastic idea... Is there a way we can have a pointless Rep system or is that too complicated??
At least you have your priorities straight!The latter....hiccup.......:cheers:
Yes you do.Do I smell
First off, take the personal snipes to email, please before I have to send a couple of people to the dugout.
Secondly, my main concern with the reputation system is that the numbers have gotten so HUGE with the values that they may possible exceed some design limit in vBulletin and have unpredictable results. That is why I preferred a proportional reduction in points, but with that not being easily done, then what other option do I have?
Actually no, this really hasn't been on my mind at all. Been dealing with LOTS of snakes laying LOTS of eggs, so this is really not much on the radar. But I try to stay somewhat involved here even when I am busy as hell.
Truth of the matter is, I'm pretty incredulous that anyone would get upset over something like this anyway. I've already had to take away negative points because people went crazy with it. And I didn't realize people were using the rep system as an easy-PM system. Not sure that is a real efficient use of server resources, so I may cut back the number of reps per member even further to try to curtail that practice.
And while I am at it, perhaps I will put "Soliciting Rep Points" as an infraction as well, since it does seem rather childish to me, AND a waste of resources here to clutter up threads with such things.
Man, I sure do wish you all would quit giving me things to have to DO something about here. Can't we all just play well together without conflicts and hip deep BS? Is that too tough to do?
Well, here is one quote... talks about the numbers not the amount of written reps someone has. I am asking about if there were no numbers. Wouldnt it make sense?? (maybe the numbers and amount of written reps is the same thing? doubt it but maybe....
