If rep is a seriously upsetting members then get rid of it …who give a f#ck!!

I like having the rep feature myself, but the thing I liked best about it was how were kind of honoring DT.

I believe you spend a lot of time and money supporting our team and you engage in conversation with a lot of the fans here on the site so I don’t think that you had too much rep personally.

I on the other hand post so much stuff that it was inevitable that my rep would grow just out of the sheer mass of posts.

[hermhater]

Well it looks like you got your wish Guru.

Anything else we need to change about the site that would make you happy?

How about we get rid of the smilies too?

Those seem to annoy you as well.

I appreciate the efforts of all of our members. Tammie has been big lately. And Canada has devoted a ton of time to the opening day project. Chief31 single-handedly runs the sportsbook. Guru and Chiefster have been modding the boards for longer than most people have been visiting this site. And HH, you also contribute a lot of meaningful threads/posts to this board. I appreciate the efforts of everyone that contributes to this site. If I had a payroll, you’d all be on it.

Thanks Coach!

If I wasn’t out of Rep you would get it!

Just so you know Guru, this is the most I have seen you post in a looong time.

I am still sticking by my strategy of trying to keep the Mods all repped up.

I know you have seen the rep I have given you in the past, and I feel it is my responsibility to give it to you in the future.

I am not for certain, but I would wager that I give out the most rep on the site, and I hold that responsibility in high regard.

I am not a mod, so I cannot affect what people post, or what they cannot, but I can show my appreciation for contributions to the site.

Well, no… HH asked me some questions so I elaborated. Guess I should have just ignored his questions so you wouldn’t get upset with my viewpoint.

😆

I was just letting you know why I liked it, and thought it was useful.

I am not complaining about the ability to comment on a persons post. That was the one feature I liked.

I will never ignore a poster. i just remind members the option is there. Two different things.

I have never put anyone on ignore, but when someone is obviously timsatt, I do not respond to them!

not saying that at all. I do feel as though a lot of rep gets passed out just do to it though. Even you yourself admitted to doing that on some level. Bumping people up just to bump them.

you keep the site hopping, that is certain.

I said that I generally do that for the MODS.

I want to make sure that their contributions are reflected in their rep count, as I never would have stayed on the site had it not been for the quality of the posts by them before I got on here and started whoring it up!

😆

I feel that the Mods should have the top amount of rep, unfortunately I am not always able to give out the amount of rep to them because I don’t get to see as many of your guys’ posts at the times when I have it available.

Hell Coach is never on the site, that is why I can’t keep him all repped up.

Once again I am trying to keep the Mods at the top of the rep chain, as I feel it looks pretty silly to have the regular members above them, and I don’t have any control over who gives me rep, so sorry there are so many 58’s up there.

Also I give rbedgood quite a bit of rep as I value his knowledge of football quite a bit.

I even went campaigning for negative rep and rbedgood was kind enough to neg rep me about 6 or 7 times.

Yeah, but it also shows a level of elitism. I don’t want people to visit the site and find themselves thinking only 5-6 members are really worth reading. One of the benefits of no rep and no level status, is that everyone is on a level playing field. You are remembered for the content of your posts rather than popularity.

I hope that I am not getting rep simply because someone thinks I’m “popular”, I assume that they are giving it out because of the content of my posts.

I don’t mind the kidding around about me being a post whore, but are you saying that my rep doesn’t reflect the quality of my contributions to the site?

You wouldn’t even miss it after about a week.

the first fansite I joined had rep and I managed to get to the pinnacle rep and then realized, “what was the point?” In the end, the rep itself didn’t mean anything to me. The comments that people leave meant a lot to me. It is more THAT I am missing rather than the rep points. I could care less about the rep points.

I appreciate the comments as well Guru, don’t get me wrong.

I think the whole point of rep is sort of like the point of the Arrowcash.

The more a member posts, the more Arrowcash they receive, and the more references Google makes to the site. That is the use of giving out Arrowcash to promote more posting, otherwise I don’t see any reason for it.

As far as rep goes, it sort of gives new members a feeling of who is either held in high regard either for their contributions to the site, or their football knowledge.

I’m pretty sure tammie has gotten some rep for helping everyone out with the ticket orders, and setting up the Chiefs Crowd awards.

If she hasn’t then it is a shame, because she contributes to the members of this site as much as a Mod if not more, and it is a way for others to show their appreciation.

Nah, that won’t work either. Coach has had to alter the rep meter several times due to how fast rep is advancing lately. He is due for another update to the system with Canada and HH so loaded with 58s right now.

I agree that Coach is probably going to redo the rep meter again.

I have actually neg repped Canada for no other reason than to keep the rep under control, but others just keep giving him rep so it keeps going up.

I appreciate all the rep I get from you guys, but I seen this coming again because of the amount of rep out there.

It would seem that some of the members of the site actually do enjoy the posts made by us.

I admit I am confused how I went from the leader to way off the pace in a matter of just a couple of months.

What is really odd is that I got more rep while I was away then I have receive since I have been back.

Personally, I would rather do away with it since it really serves no real purpose.

I explained why the rep is so messed up right now in my previous post.

I have been giving it all out every day to the same person quite often, and when you and I are on at the same time I am generally out of rep.

I’m sure you wouldn’t mind it being gone from the site, but it is one of the FEW things members have control over.

Being a mod you can pretty much do whatever you want, but this one little thing is what we can do on the site to affect it.

i was wondering about that rep deal….

maybe we should get like 10,000 arrowcash for every 58 you receive, coach?

I like that idea!

I doubt that it goes into effect though…

[hermhater]

Like right now I am completely out of rep to give and I am trying to give it to you now Guru.

It is mostly a scheduling conflict between us, normally you are getting online just about the time I am getting ready for bed.

Believe it or not, every now and then, HH actually has a quality post. Which is what I look for when giving rep.

I try to keep the rep crap under control believe it or not.

Since I have so many posts (granted 90% of them are crap, I just do it to give us something to talk about) and have gotten so much rep, I think I give out about 5,000 or so rep points per rep.

Generally when I give rep it is all my allotment for the day to the same person (if I can find enough posts from them during that small window when I am giving out the rep) and that generally gives them a 58.

You have just started posting more lately (I know the baby takes up a lot of time, so I understand) so I have been able to give you more rep.

What I am actually trying to do is keep you mods as close to the top of the rep chain as possible.

I think it would be silly to have all of us peons with more rep than you guys.
