Avatar looks good Ken. :)

I think the removal of rep will inprove the general quality of the forum. Postcount will matter more like it used to, but it was better that way.

I still have a high postcount, so sounds good ;)

I think mods-only rep would have been a better system, but no system is perfect, it got abused here so, it's pretty meaningless.

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]It really is more of a circle jerk than anything. Although it is kinda neat to have 4 stars, almost every regular has them by now, so it is next to useless in identifying good users.[/QUOTE]


Jason here said all my thoughts.

Pretty pointless if every member has stars, is it not?

yea, I agree. I think if only moderators could assign rep it may have worked. That way only people who actually DO good things are the ones rewarded.

Of course the problem there being mods aren't omniscient and so some good users would be overlooked, but, like I said, there's no perfect way.

Alternatively, do the opposite, and make it even less serious. It'll never be taken seriously, just because no system ever will, and I think most people just think of it as a bit of fun anyway.

well, I agree with that. But, the mods would have to step up and really try to notice all the good users, not just the ones who post up problem links and users. A good example would be someone like PIGS. I don't remember him reporting any bad users or posters, that doesnt make him a bad user, his posts are informative, he helps out by starting the music sharing program, and all in all is a good guy. I would positvely rep him as well as the majority of you guys.

The only thing rep is useful for is as a kind of PM service, so I wouldn't mind seeing it stay for that. Other than that it's pretty useless.

There goes Anti-Hero's gimmick :eek:

the thing about rep is that if someone says something in a thread a lot of people dont like, they derep simply because they can, and that person gets negged badly because of their own opinion. but please keep rep for a while.....until i have 1000 posts, then i get stars :thumb: lol
EDIT:
and due to all the threads being needlessly created, could it not be sorted that you can't create threads until you have a certain post count, rather than just having to wait 24 hours after registering to be able to post? i would have said this in HeavyRiva's thread about making threads, but i wanted to make sure mods would see it.

The thing is, if you have requirments before you can post a thread then you're just going to get an awful lot of spam posts from people who just want to post threads.
Even then, you'll still get people who post bad threads.

I think that's an awseome idea - I haven't been posting long, but I've been reading this forum for a while, and I soon got sick of the idots signing up just to post one useless thread, which this would certainly cut down on. The only problem is that people might just spam up the boards to bump up their post count, then we'd be stuck with spam and rubbish threads.

Edit: Munky got there first....

He asked again?

Yep
Also, since you seem to be on a roll you could update the Favourite Album section in the rules thread with the results :)

Done. I've actually seen requests for that before, but didn't do it. I suppose I figured another mod would have/was letting Riva twist in the wind a little. Thanks.

I wasn't sure what was happening with it as it seemed the requests were ignored, so I decided to request again.

Thanks :) also on behalf of Riva, Thanks.

And idiot bumped this when it was dead for 5 hours...

Actually that same idiot has bumped probably well over 10 dead threadsthat have had no posts in them since yesterday to say pointless things.

Such as one/two word reponses or just plain pointless things that don't justify a bumping.

Point being, it is not a beneficial post to this community. There's no proof, either, he just says to listen to metal instead.
