How about we start using reputation as a form of currency!

[Dinosawesome]

10,000 rep buys 1,000 posts
20,000 rep buys a large avatar
30,000 rep buys -1 year on joindate
40,000 rep buys a HUGE avatar
50,000 rep buys access to a specified forum


And so on and so forth.

Because I was thinking... Besides a crappy PM system, the way rep is handed out these days kinds of makes it useless.

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

Because then on top of rep being meaningless, everything else will become so.

[cobert]

I don't get why you pit people care about rep.

30,000 rep buys -1 year on joindate


This one is just stupid.

[Talos]

The only one that would work is the larger avatar, who cares about any of the others?

Considering that only the pit people care about rep (and have the most rep), only the pit people would utilise this stuff.

PM system pulleaze.

I'm pretty sure users from other sub-forums care about reputation points too. In many cases, they care more about it!

[semi]

how many points to get nath banned

Eh, just scanning through the members list, I still think it's mainly pit people (including myself... shame shame).

[Alf™]

Oh yes, GD regulars have the highest reputation. But your main point was that only GD users care about the reputation points, but that is no where near the truth.

Mmmkay dude, I see. Still, relating back to what I said, GD users have more, and they'd be the only ones to utilise Nath's suggestion.

Back on topic: is it just me, or are a lot of people in favour of abandoning rep for a PM system?

[Alf™]

How is talking about rep in a rep thread, off topic?

Who cares about PM systems. Just talk to people on irc, msn, aim and slsk if you want to.

[semi]

people suggest stuff like this every while and jeremy never does anything so im in favour of ssh

[badtaste]

Haha, I was being very specific.

At least PMs are useful.

[Alf™]

Many things could be implicated on these forums, that would be very useful!

Make a thread about it (seriously... I've got some suggestions as well).

[semi]

last time we made a suggestions thread it got deleted
then remade and deleted five times
we are not allowed to make suggestions
who cares what the users want!

[superpeer]

Not me!

[bradc1988]

Avatars should be as big as they can be before they break borders whilst keeping the 20kb limit; idk 160x160 or something.

Not rocket science.

[Permanent Solution]

how many points to get nath banned

100000000000 rep to buy a spot on the mod team!

ps i will give anyone a large avatar if they meet my criteria

Don't forget those essays and abstracts!

Love,

Jom

pm system is a bad idea, people like nath would just use it to insult people without the fear of people making fun of their stupid post, like they already do with rep but at least they can't just do it constantly.

or if they are trying to tell a secret or something, but that doesn't happen often enough for pm's to be necessary.

I only insulted you because you spammed the short story thread.

Anyway, this thread was made in GD so if mods want they can delete it from here...

[misterfitch]

i know you did, that wasn't a personal comment. but i figured most people would understand what i meant by "people like nath"

[semi]

nath it was a joke! i made a funny!
take internets less srs plz. but srs this is the lamest idea ever sry.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

rep should just be disabled how about that :-p

[Turtle Soup]

rep is easy to exploit lulz

[TojesDolan]

who cares what the users want!

users tend to have bad ideas

not worse than mods ideas though

but users have very sh‪itty ones.

[Permanent Solution]

wtf tojes i have the best ideas ever ef you :mad:

[Turtle Soup]

yeah im a mod i make homophobic remarks in people's ban reasons

[TojesDolan]

wtf tojes i have the best ideas ever ef you :mad:
when you were a reg user yes

now it's like meh

[semi]

who cares if they are bad ideas
the whole point of a site is to cater to what users want
if everyone says they want hyperlinks give them hyperlinks it's not hard

[TojesDolan]

yes I know nonetheless they can contain link to hack sites. *tsk tsk*

Nonetheless, you might agree with me when tell you that asking for helicopters to a bunch of fag students is not really a suggestion.

^_^

And you want hyperlink so you can hack!

A lot!

[semi]

nono not those threads
the ones amit made and just all the normal users were making perfectly legitimate requests.
then instead jeremy was just talking about some shitty what im digging thing to go into our profiles. which no one actually wanted.
and i dont hack and its not only me that wants hyperlinks is it

[Edi Gibson]

This is the stupidest idea ever. Naff is a ****ing idiot.

I was kidding about the hacks. :|

[Light Fantastic]

idk how hyperlinks were even related to hacking jeremy is just stupid

[Alf™]

Light Fantastic, everyone knows that when hyperlinks were disabled, all the hacking stopped and we were a perfect unified forum!

[Permanent Solution]

when you were a reg user yes

now it's like meh

you're meh
ih8u

[dei]

If the reputation system was used correctly then maybe Nath's idea would work.

Except the bit about join date, that's just stupid.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

jeremy needs to make it where only users with high rep, or mods, can rep, just like back in the day. it's to the point where i'll get 500 rep for typing the word “poop”. :-/

[dei]

Yeah. I'm on the first page when you sort the members list by reputation, and I've never contributed anything to these forums.

[semi]

that's a lie!

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

Get rid of rep.

[Matt]

last time we made a suggestions thread it got deleted
then remade and deleted five times
we are not allowed to make suggestions
who cares what the users want!
yeah man down with thatcher

To be honest, ditching the rep system and enabling PMs would be far more useful, and possible than a ludicrous "currency" system.

[dei]

Get rid of rep.

123.

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

Get rid of rep and don't enable pms.

[misterfitch]

disable pms.

[Turtle Soup]

disable elite status

[Ando!]

Give everyone admin priveleges so we can decide for ourselves!
