And the privileges? Mostly just peripherals. I suppose being able to see who left a user rating for you is nice, but the rest I simply don't care for.

Bottom line: caring about your reputation rating is a little bit like caring about your post count. Doing it demonstrates to everybody else what a sad sack you are.

You haven't been here for quite awhile, I can tell

BRING BACK THE DBLNS!!!

I would like it if Rep was changed to "Gold Coins" in honor of our good friend, and italian plumber Mario.

It would also be cool if everytime you gave someone +rep you heard "Ching" like when Mario collects a coin. HOORAY!

I'm just being stupid now.

That's actually not a bad idea.

Any other opinions? Or does this one not matter much?

I hate the reputation system. It's worthless. I've elaborated on that several times and I don't feel I need to do it again. Aside from that, I agree with Xantar.

I would like to comment on the access to the Black Project forum. I've been with NDolphin/NDose/GT longer than most, as long as some, and not as long as a small few. And to have a flawed reputation system decide who has access to a forum is perhaps the single most ignorant thing done in all the time I've been with this website. And to me it's a Oxi Moron, because I hate 'Elite Only' forums. It only devides the members of the forums further from each other. But just because I hate it, doesn't mean I don't want access to it. I'll probably never post in there, and yet I'm frustrated by that fact that I couldn't.

Some of you could say "you're only 100 points from having access so quit your whining." But I don't feel I should have to. It's a matter of principle. And one that I feel has been overlooked.

But if everyone can access it, whats stopping people from being complete asses?

Obviously, if you want to post in the Black Project, you need shiney green pips...and obviously to get those shiney green pips you cant be an ass to people and mouth people off.

Benefits keep people acting sane.

You were right on the edge so I pushed you over. It should update your access shortly.

If we implement a new doubloon system, we'll probably have an option to buy access there as well.

Merry +Rep month to everyone...I've become a lot more generous with rep this month, as some of you might have seen. And keep expecting more.

dropCGCF · 01-06-2005, 06:41 PM

What is this Black Project Forum? Is it like ilovebees.com?

Stray_Bullet · 01-06-2005, 07:12 PM

Legitimate feedback on posts is great, but having a visible reputation is unnecessary.

It'd be nice if you could "give people rep," without having a solid figure created by the reputation. It'd be like having an invisible post count.

The figure itself isn't accurate to reputation. It's easy to rep-rally, and post count has a large affect on its value. However, I do admit that positive, personal feedback (and some reasonable constructive criticism) is cool.

Rep wars were hilarious, though. I had my fun.

Dylflon · 01-06-2005, 10:06 PM

Does anyone else think that CamfuBot sounds a little like Gamemaster?

By the way, nice to have you back Rndm.

doesnt really matter if they're visable or not. ANYONE can see who gave them a rep, by using a simple glitch or bug kinda in the way the forum works. its not the most time effective way, but you can see who gave you a rep clear as day.
