The Reputation System Reset 3 months later...

[Sukerkin]

My opinion hasn't changed from when the alteration was first mooted.

When I can, I continue to use the system to pass compliments to those who post well (rather than just "Me too'ing") but as a yardstick for judging-before-knowing it's lost it's purpose.

That's no insult for those good members who, by coincidence, have a high 'Rep Power' but it's simply that a lot of members that I don't consider good contributors have higher rep than those that I do. Subjective that certainly is but it bugs me every day I log in.

EDIT: Tho' I do log in every day more than once so it can't be that bad an irritant .

I understand your point of view but nothing can ever be 100% so it is what it is a tool for some and a living nightmare to others.

I STILL miss my stars..Other than that no complaints....

 

[shesulsa]

Dare I say it? Yes, I dare.

It is interesting, is it not, that those who had high rep before ... have high rep again ... now?

Yes go ahead and say it I dare you.

 

[MA-Caver]

Interesting yes... puzzling even more so.

Mmm, to misquote the Emperor from Star Wars, "Strange that I have not" .

'High Roller' to 'Bottom of the Heap' for me it seems - ah well, just as long as I know where I stand - at least there's not a volcano erupting under my feet ... yet ...

Four bars at this stage in the game is actually quite high, I would say. And it will be another 6 months at least before I get to 3 rep points, myself. I would still say you're at the top.

Knock it off. BOTH of you...LOL

 

[Sukerkin]

Kindly spoken, Thardey :tup:.

Actually, I've figured out what I think part of the problem is - I post an awful lot in fora that 'don't count'. So whilst I may get very pleasant 'buffs' they don't 'score' .

The kind words are what have meaning really - I can't help it if I'm enough of a 'status harlot' that I crave public recognition :lol:.

Drac, check your MySpace :lol2:

[arnisador]

Arni remembers well the time our ladies refered to themselves as MT Widows, lol.

No joke. I remember all too well planning on being in bed by midnight and still administrating at 2AM. It was not just fewer staff but we were still working out procedures, sloooooowly climbing up the learning curve!

 

[Sukerkin]

Quick dive OT but I just wanted to say that I don't think we, the common members {why does that sound rude somehow? :lol:}, don't appreciate the amount of effort it takes to keep a forum like this ticking over smoothly.

We see fora all over the Net and because we've never founded one ourselves we don't comprehend the work required.

So, a big thanks to Bob and the Founders (I must be having one of those days because that sounds like a reggae band ).

That's a pretty good sign that we're doing our job, eh? We put in the time here that everyone else can have a great time on MT without worrying about all the challenges required to keep it going smoothly.

 

[Tez3]

Bob and the Founders! Cool, love it!

I second Sukerkins thanks! My only problem is where on earth did those three months go? Must be a sign I'm getting olde,r the time is flying and there's so much still to do!

OK I'll stop now
