Obsolete POLL on Rep system + The no rep club.

DoctorP · 3 Oct 2004

Yes, just go in and enable your rep points. Your points and most recent comments will be displayed. Then if you want to, just disable your rep points again.

DragonChan · 3 Oct 2004

I'm neutral to rep points. I only give them out if somebody has really been helping me, and I have a few, but not too many. I'll keep the one little green ball. It's pretty ^_^

silver angel · 4 Oct 2004

I like my green balls. I don't mind it at all. I'm still striving for the neon balls. I will get them eventually.

Brooker · 4 Oct 2004

Ok, I've re-enabled my rep points because I'm tired of not being able to (easily) see the comments people have sent me.

Kinda A Pain !?

I have to admit, turning it on to read the coments and off to go back to the black pearl, is a bit of a hassel.

that's what you get for being hip!

sheesh, you people and your complaining..

what's the point of a rep system anyway if some people arent using it but still can rep others?

Lina Inverse · 5 Oct 2004

After giving some thought to it, I decided to join the No-Rep club as well.
More closely viewed, this fight about rep points is really quite childish.

Obviously quite a few of us though there was no point to it in the first place.

fixelbrumpf · 6 Oct 2004

Ah, I see. I haven't checked the forum for a while and wondered where all those green balls went.
I can't remember joining the "no rep club" (my reputation was disabled when I logged back in), but quite frankly I never thought there was much point to the feature -- I also remember a poster or two with "GIVE ME REPUTATION PLZ" signatures, which I found pretty annoying.

It wasn't as bad on some other forum where a bunch of posters who didn't like my posting style teamed up on my sorry newbie arse and negative-repped me for every thread I posted, but I'm still glad it's possible to disable the reputation system now.

In honour of which I've changed my avatar again.

Actually it isn't entirely disabled. It just a) Hides the green balls and b) Hides the list of who voted rep (positive or negative) on your pots.

You can still vote rep on other people and can still be voted on. (Although my guess is that most people won't do either if you've disabled rep).

Needs more transparency! I'd fix it, too bad I haven't figured out yet how to edit animated GIFs in GIMP. That said, I'm still enjoying my new Linux operating computer machine system.

Except it just logged me out for some reason.

Yeah but the transparency handling sucks in every animated .gif utility I tried. At the slightest opportunity it turns non-transparent and merges inseparably with another colour in the palette.

Consider it an ironic artistic statement about the default colour scheme .... or something.

Oooh Frank.

Gotta love the 'action cat' avatar.

Grandpa Frank · 7 Oct 2004

I Haven't Figured Out Animated Gifs Yet Either??

All I want is a quick and easy way to shrink over-sized ones down to Forum size; of course a free program would be nice! I did see a site that gives you software if you pay to join, but not that desperate yet.I have to wonder if all the members used animated gifs, would it hammer the server speed?

Actually, the GIMP should work well. I never did it before, but just tried it on some animated dragon. You just have to open the original file, shrink it to the wanted size & export it as animated GIF. Done!

Edit: the original is too big & only shows as thumbnail. You have to click on it to make it work.

Chit-chat post not counted anymore.

I thought this was sort of funny...in light of what has happened lately and the start of the "NO REP CLUB".

Not trying to start anything, just thought it was funny is all...I ran across it by accident today!

No begging for rep points Mr. Maciamo!
This is clearly forbidden by the Rules for reputation points which you can find here and which were composed by... uh... Maciamo!? Gee, what a coincidence...

Maciamo said:
Rules for reputation points
I have recently noticed the practice of a few members (see quoted begging above) to beg for rep points, or exchange favours with their some accomplices.
Let me tell you frankly that I find this unacceptable and against the principles of the reputation system. In fact, I should give negative reputation.

Hmm... can you give yourself reputation? :?

DoctorP · 11 Oct 2004

Lina you know I posted that as a joke right?

Look at the original date of his post...it was right after the rep system was created!

that coming from the guy that started the "give me rep"-line in sig fad.
Isn't it sorta weird how you just swapped it right over for a "No-Rep club" membership?

Apollo · 12 Nov 2004

I like them green balls!! I don't if they benefit anything, but I like them...

I certainly didn't start it, that was you.

Well, unlike you, I found that I don't need any show-off penis replacement

? I never had a begging in my sig for rep points. Ever.

sadakoyamamura · 12 Nov 2004

Pillow fight for Lina and Mac...

I sorta think of that little green guy as a decoration.

Obsolete POLL on Rep system + The no rep club.

Does the rep system benefit the forum as a whole?

I am sure that it does.

I think it probably does.

I'm not sure either way.

I don't think it does but it doesn't do any harm.

I don't really like it much but I want to keep my points anyway.

I don't think it does AND I want to give up all my rep points.
