Yeah, my bad... 8-)...

I don't give pointless reps really, only things like that when everybody give them people for no reason.

I wasn't suggesting myself or someone, but just a convieniently, pre-selected group of people who are known to be highly respected members of the community.

Could we increase the limit required to vote to about say ... 500 or atleast put a limit to recieve a vote to about 200 or something cause useless vote giving is annoying.
I personally havent given a vote to anyone in i think a month or a month and a half + .... if you dont have a valid reason then just keep quite :-/
Stop sucking up :tongue:

I agree, in a way. It is easy to say that it should be increased to 1000 or something ludicrous like that, if of course, you are over that amount, but if you are below that amount, it seems like ages away constantly, and it wouldn't be nice at all.

Personally, I don't think there should be a restriction on whether the person you are giving the vote to's post count is too low (if you know what I mean).

I think the system is fine and perfectly stable as it is, by the time people have 100 posts on this forum, they're usually smarter and better-behaved than they were when they had less posts...

Dont get me wrong .... im all for the good users who dont misuse it but there are people who actually post just to reach that 100 figure mark and to gain votes from others. I think the rep system is good. It gives that something to the forum and makes it close as it is. Most of us have atleast 4 - 5 + members who are good friends. Even if you have been a regular member for a month or two you will have good friends here :)
And btw ... none taken :P

I think we could have a minimum limit to vote to .... yea there are so many points to say no to like there are good members having 10 - 20 votes but c'mon.

We could have a group of unbiased, respected forum members for rep viewing .... If 2 - 3 of them say that the rep aint valid then its not. Every rep has to be seen once. If a repmod says its not ok then another repmod looks at it. That one says yes to then its scrapped.

I know its gonna increase the load on ppl but thats the olny way i see apart from increasing the minimum vote revieving and/or giving limit and/or scrapping the whole system itself (for which i am not cause i already said it kinda holds us together in a weird way)

And btw .... 500 posts .... was just a random number nitemare .... i wasnt saying it should be that much ... just that it should be increased :)

what about instead of increasing the number of posts you have to have, we put a weekly limit on it, say 5-7 reps a week, nomore, perhaps

If you do implicate a system like this more people will spam to X amount so they can give rep...
