What's going to happen to my rep 401K account? I've been stacking reps since I was 21. By the time I'm 50 I'm barely going to have any reps..

[levijay]

What's the total of all non-mod reps? :0

In keeping with the spirit of the misc, putting those >350K back to that level seems like the most fitting solution. It would make a noteworthy rep cap should that be able to be implemented, what better way to "make it" then hitting bout tree fiddy.

Do it. Whack those monkeys back down to earth. Watch'em cry like the bitches they are.

The problem with the rep system is high reppers bullying new people/low rep people simply because of differing opinions, as well as the nut hugging of high rep powered people. Its annoying as fuk in politics/religion threads when people neg with 400k rep power because you are either dem or rep. Happens on both sides.

I can see the argument, idk. I think the system would work a lot better with flat negs and reps, as well as more mod reps at a lesser amount for quality posts.

It probably needs to be flattened, but it would also probably help to introduce a second economy to essentially lessen the importance of these rep points.

On other message boards that got to start from scratch in the modern era, they usually have two "points" systems. A rep system that's a flat +/- 10 points and like/unlike system that can be applied publicly to posts. This seems to work pretty well.

People who are popular AND make great posts consistently on an array of topics have high rep + high like-to-post ratios

People who may be controversial, but still make valid points/posts may have low to negative rep, but still have high like-to-post ratios

People who try to farm rep have high reps, but low like-to-post ratios, and it tends to be obvious/stick out.

People who are just **** tier and can't get reps or likes are just ignored.

It allows posters to be rewarded even if they go against the grain and having 2 flat/non-scaling systems lessens the importance/farming of one.

Thought I was gnna see this fella..

[Luc1fer]

Kept your reps OP!

Two weeks later, some posters already have +10k reps. That's 260k a year.

It's weird because the main reason given for dropping them to 350 seems to be differentiation between mods and users, but doesn't it have to be mods doing a lot of the repping to jump people up that quick?

Ye, I think you're right.

[Farley1324]

nope. most likely just like your reps, same people repping
each other page after page.

How many times can you rep the same person page after page in 2 weeks?

clearly the only solution is an annual event to keep the districts in line

[PepperedAngus]

I need cliffs on exactly how long the spread is now while I make my climb to tree fiddy.

I had investigations run on a random (first 2 I saw) members up around 8500 and 9000. The results came back negative for mod reps in both. Not to say it doesn't happen in certain cases, because a random sampling can not confirm this, just to say it is not necessary for such an increase.

9000 rep powers/ (14 days x 5 per day) = 128
Meaning, the average person repping them has 128k, which is not hard to fathom considering they congregate in the same areas.

You can rep someone ~1.28 times in 2 weeks, btw. Spread is fitty.

eta: saw 128 came up twice in my post and realized I haven't seen 128 post in years :/
