has the forum become disreputable?
Well from where i am sitting, it seems the forum has become very disreputable. The reputation system is a very neglected forum tool since it was revamped some time ago.
now please understand that i fully supported the revamp of the rep system as in its previous incarnation it had become unfair, for want of a better word.
When it was revamped, I was hoping that it would be adopted once again by teh members as a one-click method of saying "yes i like that" or "no i dont" to their opinions, as it had been a year ago when i first joined, in a spirit of fun and not taken too seriously.
it all went pear-shaped when some of us got enough hitting power to wipe out the small players in one hit. those days are over, everyone. its all about seeing someone giving you a little pat on the back, always nice to openthe user cp and seeing another greenie there, its not about climbing ladders.
I know a few of us are still sending out heaps of greenies, jools and i are, but they seem to be a rare commodity compared to what they used to be.
So lets see some movement once again in the reputation stakes

Think you'll find it was only a small minority who gave points, matter of fact, it's only a very small minority who even know what they are and how to use them. Most come here for the woodwork and not the points.
However if it's points you want. Here..... I giveth.

I agree with Doug in that it is nice to see them. I send them frequently and I do check from time to time to see if I have got any. I don't take it seriously, but it is a nice thing side interest. However, I know that I give far more than I receive (maybe that is saying something
).
However, I doubt you will see much "movement" in the reps at the top end as the rep points are all very high, but the amount that are awarded since the latest revamp are much smaller, thus you don't see movement at the top end much at all.
Mind you, that shouldn't really matter if you just like to see them as someone saying thanks for taking part.
I don't see the rep system as adding a lot to the forums, but I do think that it adds something small extra quirk or interest (for me at least).
As for Jekyll and Hyde up above, the company man advertises, the individual tells you what he thinks.

This is just a shifty grab for more greenies so that you can get above me on the list isn't it Doug?
Well, it worked. Are you happy now. Don't expect me to speak to you ever again. Fine.

Just as well Bob Brown is not on this board, but it doesn't really matter as he has more greenies than the rest of us put together

What do you mean BECOME disreputable? :confused:
I'm still giving out greenies, but nowhere near as many as before. The system simply won't let me.I'll send the odd "joke" greeny out, but most of mine have been for posts that have merit.
Is it my fault that it always seem to be the same people who're making worthwhile contributions? And that there's less than 20 of 'em? So... with the new, "improved" (HISS! BOO! :mad: ) limits I have to send out gratuitous greenies just so I can send to the ones that merit 'em. As that goes against the grain, I'm rapidly running up a heap of IOUs instead.
For example, I still can't fire one your way... and how long ago was the last?
