Rep Inflation Discussion

[bzman]

Way the world works. Once you hit red or high green theres no coming back.

Have to claim bankruptcy and start a new account. I love this one though and somewhat proud of join date so haven't been able to do it yet.

This happen years ago.



A few high reppers get too many reps, the rep system is reset. This was a catalyst for the FIRST rep reset.

So we are going to keep doing this every 10 years and punish hard earning high reppers? At this rate I will BARELY have enough reps for retirement.

Let's make the misc great again and stop this.

Until there's a technical capability to set caps, a manual reduction is the only available resource. It's only a matter of time before some cross over close to 1 million. The system is broken but steps still need to be taken to keep things somewhat in line.

Adding more rep ground to cover will add to the excitement lol

[xXBrutalXx]

these high reppers need to start repping their fair share, so us middle class can compete

their reps should be taken from them and given to us

[scooterbrah]

Just add to the mods?

that eventually maxes out on vbulletin. for example, forumadmin is maxed out

[Alvarezzz]

In for rep reset!

How about the prestiging idea?

Reset it to 250k cap...and every 250k you hit it resets to 0, however you get a rank number added next to your username somewhere like RANK 2. So someone like Evo hitting 1mil would actually be RANK 4. With a cool emblem.

Its make ranking up hard but the higher the rank starting from scratch but ppl will know ur a quality poster.

Sounds like itd piss people off but if the point of reps is being a good poster itll prevent constant trading and being a good poster keeps its value by rank.

Also the rank number is just an option it could be A, B, C...color of your username...whatever. something to keep users happy and keep a level playing field

Also if 250k is too high, 125k and itd keep the rep powers lower and ranks faster to obtain

Just curious what kind of problems are the high reppers causing? If high reppers are causing trouble and abusing their rep power is some negative ways, I can see the changes will be good. If not then why go through all the trouble? :/

[BigRangs]

Anybody else get repped by FS ITT? Let's try to get a tally to figure out if he gets more than 5 reps.

These are all great ideas but I'm not sure everyone realizes just how technically limited the options are. Adding a badge or new color would require adding a new usergroup. That's not possible because the way BodySpace integrates with the forum, no new groups can be created. There are hacks/add-ons and coding changes that can be done but that requires being prioritized into the workflow and that simply has never been the case.

I don't really have anything to offer for removing reps but it can't stay the way it is now, there will be overlaps and it has to be addressed.

[4Adz4]

all in all this would be good, people will actually provide the luls and post their opinions now instead of fearing getting one bombed straight into the red sea by some ******* with 560k rep.

also @ FS why are there so many fkd up restrictions on this forums settings / the way it runs, never seen anything like it.

[Awarebrahhh]

Another thing I'd like to see would be an increasing wait time between posts for every neg you get.

ie. get negged once for a post, can't post for the following 2 mins. get a 2nd neg on that post, can't post for the following 5mins. 3rd neg, can't post for 15mins, etc.

This would deter trolls.

That would get abused so hard by people who don't like certain posters, this would also lead to a whole new level of welcome negs, literally punting people out of action ayy lmao i was like ayy lmao

[ShadowShinobi]

rep should expire after 5 years. rep earned 5 years ago is irreverent, to how a person is today.

Remember you can only neg someone every 40 reps. That kind of counters the possible abuse. Plus, at most you'd be unable to post for like 1 hour tops..

Rules should be if you quote a mod > 15 times , you're reps are automatically reset.

A lot of you cocksuckers would be red.

[CJOrion]

High reppers r life

[KyleAaron]

He said earlier, it's because the forum is integrated with BodySpace. So changing the forum stuff would mean uncoupling it from BodySpace.

[Prose Edda]

If you really care so much about the green squares getting mass reps is easy.

1. Join KNEE DAGGERS crew
2. Join Firearms Crew
3. Join Music crew - R.I.P.

There's no active rep trading you can see but every single member of those crews I've seen who actively post who even have <1000 posts are all in the 20k+ rep area.

If green squares really matter in your life.

ForumSentinal, would you agree that the countless chit posters on the Misc are more of a threat to the site's popularity and money making capabilities than the high rep counts of decent posters? I've read so many posts of people getting fed up with how poor the content on the forum is getting with too many chit troll jobs etc. Wouldn't efforts be better spent trying to find ways to prevent these people from bringing the tone of the site down? Many people have suggested having a minimum post requirement before making new threads - this isn't hard to implement and it would make a world of difference. Sometimes you log in and half of the front page is troll topics from *******s with 1-2 posts.

[bobbydigitaloa]

I'm such a sweet boy.

[JayC24]

can it be made that once you hit 10,000 reps, can't rep other people with 10,000 or higher but can still neg them instead? stops rep trading at high limits, forces you to still rely on the lower rep peasants to keep increasing your rep instead of always trolling them without consequences.

well, that was easy enough. just let me know what else yall need fixed.

Maybe not hard but it again, requires work with the database that doesn't find its way into workflows. Half-measures are many times all that's available.
