It sure is. I haven't been on here as much because of it. Good job fixing it up. :thumb:

Oh, we'll try to get it back to good condition. :thumb:

Just a question

How come I only have three stars now??

I'm sure it's just something done with the ratings, but just wondering.

Apparently the star requirements changed when Jeremy edited the system a few minutes ago.

O alright

So do you know the requirements now??

Nope, sorry. :(

No problem dude. I'll come to firgure them out some time soon anyway

Ok, rep is gone. Some ideas are being tossed around, I'll update ya when I hear something.

ok cool, it was an abused system, so its good in a way

There's gotta be a better way to recognize the genuinely helpful people on the forums. Some people I'd like to award by some other means than telling them so by posting saying "You're so cool!"

Well, one of the ideas is to lower the amount of rep needed to obtain stars and then only let moderators give out rep.

that sounds decent enough

[QUOTE=SonorKen]Well, one of the ideas is to lower the amount of rep needed to obtain stars and then only let moderators give out rep.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, but I have the feeling that moderators, especially so-called "Nazi mods," would a) either not be able to see all those deserving because of the sheer number of posts the site generates, or b) (and I'm talking about the Nazis that supposedly exist) neg-rep those who are undeserving. This might be the best conclusion that could be reached, and it would ensure no rep parties. Now that I think about it, if you're deserving enough, it'll probably be apparent to the mods and you'll get rewarded.

But for places like guitar, all the things people would get repped for are responses to questions. How will mods judge how helpful a given response is to a threadstarter or question askers?

I suppose the idea is that if your doing a good enough job that mods notice your work, then you deserve the stars. However, a thread in site forum, where users can bring the mods' attention to potential rep situation might be effective.

However, I think it is a good thing that it has been removed for now. I could even bear to lose my stars and my 16700 or something rep points...

I suppose the idea is anyone left with stars deserves to hang on to them?

I never knew Kurt Hammett played for Metallica!

The guitar forum mods will handle it in a way they see fit. It will be easy in R&M tho, people who post good threads, replies, and help out will be the ones with rep. Basically anyone who is a good member.

Stars have just become 1337 again :grin:

If somebody has the time could they prune [url=http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=6910663#post6910663]This thread[/url] of [url=http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/member.php?u=108469]this Guys posts[/url]

It's not an urgent matter but it's just a shame to see Manuscriptreplica's work messed up like that.

Thank Mag, I am still unsure of the stability of the datebase using the bigger functions like IP search and Prune so I manually edited him away. Thanks for the heads up man.

Thanks for doing it :)

I think without the rep - + thing, it takes away an element of fun from the site.... I used to enjoy it when i would get reputation, and appreciate it... Maybe users can add reputation ect: but the comment has to go through the mods first eg: For helping me out .....
I think it would be an effective way, because i often got neg repped because i was a fan of a certain band ect:
Ultimatly though i feel that this idea would put twice the amount of work on a mod....
Maybe there could be a new rule.... Only give rep if a person really deserves it...

That was the intention of the rep system as it stood previously though.

Besides, I'd rather have the rep system gone, and the search function (hopefully) back, without MX crashing more frequently.

I am anticipating a crash soon :(

looking at peoples postcounts, and who does and doesnt have stars, are they given to people who have over 1500 posts or what?


EDIT: reps back?!?!? :confused:

EDIT2: can only people with stars give rep? i can recieve but not give

[QUOTE]reps back?!?!? [/QUOTE]
We still have our rep you just can't see it until you get repped again

There's an official thread for this.

This Daven guy needs to get a nice little ban.

All he does is bumps threads that are 1-3 days old that are completely dead with a pointless and useless post.

Same guy making a crappy thread that could have gone into the music recommendation thread.

This thread has been around for a while now, but it's in clear violation of rule number ten (it's a "worst" thread). I dunno if you guys think it's worth closing, since it's basically dead, but it's still on the first page and I don't want a bunch of people starting up more threads like these.
