(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Okay so the staff has been talking about rep (yet again) and about how the prestige system combined with the caps on rep have made it significantly harder members to earn rep and climb the rankings. Not to mention it's nearly impossible for members who have registered after the rep cap to even have a chance of catching members who were around and active before it.

To quote Needa:

there is one with a silver star, 2 with a single brown star, and only 10 total with 1k rep or more.
We have less than 7 guys since then that are even showing a single gold bar..

There is something flawed in that...


Now this thread is a poll to see what reputation system YOU prefer, the current, the one we have now, etc. etc.
Please keep in mind that this is just a general consensus to see what you all prefer, and if one 'wins' the poll, that doesn't mean that system is being enacted. We're just looking for opinions.

Personally, I believe the best reputation system to be the one that was here when I joined - Not regulated at all. No +/- cap truly let members get what they deserve out of their hard work or bad posts. The more effort you put into things, the more effort you'd get out of them. It promoted activity in my eyes, and that is how I would want it to be now. Rep boosters or people who exploit and abuse it would have a more harsh punishment.

I remember an option where you could hide your rep, I'd like one of those back if it's not still around. Can't seem to find it. Also, and option to hide how many posts you have as well. It would be nice to have people take into account what you're actually saying and not look at your rep and post count before replying.

Pricey,
I remember when that came out in VPlaza, Several members paid 100K to do it including myself, and the only person it hid your rep from was yourself:p
There were quite a few pissed off guys over that one:ha!:

I personally liked the old rep system but so many bitched about it.
You guys might also remember why we had a cap in the first place....

I think an uncapped system without rep prestiges would be completely fine if people did not bitch about receiving negs and stop giving pointless negs.

Other: Get rid of it once and for all. There's been too many of these threads and too many discussions on this matter over the years.

I hate the fact one gold star is is the limit right now.
I want the old multiple stars back :y:


I couldn't agree with you more. Plus, I loved seeing all those sexy stars next to DEREK's name. :p
