Reputation system update

[eastofsg]

if the problem is due to okt/supporter/clone zapping issue in the fl dome forums, then how about eliminating the zapping in those 2 forums?

or how about showing the user(s) who have up or zap a posting. or even up to showing the comments as well. then some people might not be so blatant with their action.

[soccersaint]

I always believe its a good thing to share be it good or bad. But now it turns out to be an agony to do so, cause sharing causes a lot of misunderstandings and unwanted hurtful comments. When everyone stop to share, this forum may turn out quite dull

[Puyo]

Just a few sharings and if i am too frank pls kindly forgive.

The problem of the system is it will silently grow a inner desire to achieve points as it indicates a certain amount of status for some and seniority. Though many say they will only be here for the fun of it, with enough Zapping, it can cause many discomforts, especially those who have to walk around with a negative score just over a comment that does not reason with some.

This in time will cause the newbie to register a new nick and maybe to play it safe why not register 2 or more accounts instead. The power indicator can be still use as an indicator of seniority.

Jus a suggestion! Perhaps Boss can design a range of medals for contributors to attain for achieving a 5 Star thread, a 5 year stay or a 10 year stay with this forum.

Is there a need for reputation to justify one's worth by some?

Is there a need for Power to Up or Zap?

Is a newbie's experience less worth than a Season Bonker?

Yes, there will be inexperenced people but which forum don't have their fair share of newbies?

If a Simple Education System is in place for memebrs on the etiqutte expected in here, we won't have to deal with clones cos there is no need for them to exist.

These opinions are not related to anyone directly.


Perhaps a simple Ranking System will do. Meaning the number of posts determine a certain amount of your seniority. Then maybe 5 different rank status subjected to Boss's and a few of his trusted Moderator's Perusal.

Thanks for the info.

I personally think that there are also too much fake FR... i think we should have an area just for bad FR (rating should not only for the ger service but also okt service).. cos i think all the good FR are posted by fake nick or okt. I dont think OKT will post bad FR. The FL dome always flushed with advertisement. no chance to see really FR.

If possible, implement system where add or zapp, the nick must be shown. No anonymous zapps. That should reduce clone zappings.

I totally agree with Bro Blacktaj's idea.

Suggest to auto include the nick of the upping or zapping member's when they exercise their power.

This feature will prevent sabo zapping.
eg : My power is 5 and another Bro's power is 5 also, but when I zap someone I just leave behind his nick. This may lead to zapping wars among members.

When you send emails or even SBF PMs to each other there must alway be a Sender, so why not when we send UP points or Zaps to auto include the sender's name.


Just my humble suggest

Hi all,

I have a humble question about the relationship b/w points and power. Because I'm newbie so I only know that we need to get 35 points to achive power 1. However, I saw some bros here having very high power (5,6,7) but their points are very little? Is there another way to power up?

Also, I saw that OKTs need to post a lots to up their threads. And, this is also harder to read FRs in their threads. Sometimes, I need to scroll 1 or 2 pages to see a FR or even more. Boss, can we allow them up their threads but not display their posts. This will help both OKTs and other members. For normal members, it's clearly that they can follow up the thread easily with full of direct FRs. For OKTs, their threads will be more attractive. Of course, some OKTs want to up their threads with another purpose like hiding bad FRs. But I don't think they can hide it. Once a member want to book a FL, I'm sure they will need to read as much FRs as possible. If there're more FRs found, members will be confident to proceed with booking. If there's no FRs found in a thread, I think many members would back up as well.

Above is just newbie's ideas. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks.

[lazybugger]

did you do anything wrong? read the reputation system, or just PM boss

[Stephenw]

I just posted a honest FR and asked readers to up me if they found the review useful. Somebody zap me for being "insincere". If this is all it takes to lose reputation, I feel the system is not a very effective measure of a members reputation.

The system is very fair. If you want to say "fuck you" via the rep system without being penalised, all you need to do is to leave your nick to show that you are not a coward.

Cursing and swearing and someone without identifying your nick isn't a very nice thing to do.
