Should Mental Pants reset everyone's rep points?

[jrandom]

Should everyone's rep
be reset??




The Bling Thing's out of hand.

The Rarefied Strata inhabited by the Ancient Worthies is all but inaccessible to new forum users.

The Rank Members List By Rep Points (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/memberlist.php?&order=DESC&sort=reputation&pp=30) page may or may not have anything to do with how much each of the said members is truly loved by the masses.

Is my 33,000-odd rep point ascendancy deserved, or a simple product of the fact that I've hung around these parts whoring it up for nigh on five years?

Should cowpoos even be on that list?

These matters of mystery shall remain forever unanswered, unless drastic action is taken!

I hereby call for the immediate resetting of every forum user's reputation points to 0 (or, perhaps, to 1, for matters of 'senior member' expediency).

KB is, of course, Not A Democracy, but who knows; mayhap the plea of the masses shall sway Mr Trousers as he sits on high?

Brothers and sisters, let us vote.

Edit: ATTENTION ALL NUMBSKULLS WITH SHORT ATTENTION SPANS - THIS WILL NOT REMOVE ANY EXISTING REP COMMENTS, IT WILL JUST RESET THE TOTAL.

[jrandom]

I should note, by the way, that this will only affect the displayed total.

All of your historical rep comments received will remain as they are.

[Deviant Esq]

I'm in favour... the toys will be flying as people cry out for love again! :lol:

[MIXONE]

I see that some people have voted no.What is their reasoning?
Not stirring just curious.

[Smokin]

Bah, I'm easy, But all the girls say that anyway. :whistle:

[Steam]

Seems like an interesting idea to me. I voted yes.

[Maha]

Throughout my 27 years working in the same trade and being very well paid for what I do, I feel humbled that I have made alot of people very happy with the end result of what I have done to the decor' of their homes, a similar feeling engages me when I recieve a 'Tick' from someone in this other world that I inhabit....so leave it the fuck alone.....:shifty:

[Storm]

No-I cant stand to see the weeks of crying threads that will follow as surely as election promises are broken

[Sully60]

What ever happened to the idea of resetting them every year?

I will vote with my conscience, which is difficult when you're devoid of one.

[007XX]

Where's the option for "I don't give a pig's arse"...?

If I was still being sent little lovely messages and no point to go with it...I'd be as happy as a hummingbird on Lily nectar laced with E...

Besides, I am apparently way less funny since I turned to the dark Side, so meeeehhh....:rofl:

[Maha]

Personally I think the top five should have their slate cleaned and start all over then this subject will not reappear for at least.....four years.

[Mental Trousers]

I'd really love to reset everyones bling count to 0. The fun thing about that is that not one single person would ever be able to send a red or green. They'd all be blue/grey. Now that sort of thing appeals to me lol.

Being realistic (unfortunately) I'd reset to 10, the absolute minimum for handing out green.

[Usarka]

I would like to know the precise date and time of the change in advance, if it were to happen :whistle:

You can still give green rep if you are on zero rep, but have a post count of over 10 - you'd just give much fewer points than with your rep weighting behind you. Course, if you have several thousand posts, you can give more again, so stuff would still happen, just a lot less points being passed back and forth.

[ManDownUnder]

Reset it... every April 1 would be good (hint hint... LETS GO!)

A rep count of 10 is needed before you can give any green/red, no matter what other conditions have been satisfied.

00:01am on my birthday

A possible alternative. Another would be Christmas Day, although any day where I'd feel like I'm giving back to the kb community would be great ...... bahahahaha :laugh: :innocent:

Nah, do that. Gets rid of the rep system.

Or you could make it so that only you can give out rep, so people can't give out rep until they've been Mentalled.

[idleidolidyll]

absolutes are almost always about masturbation.

how relevant is it that someone with 5000 posts onboard has 10,000 rep points when another person with just 500 posts has 1100 rep points?

seems to me the latter is more worthy than the absolute................

until we see 'reps per post' points and the reps can be traded for credits against some kind of motorcycling purchase; it's all bullshit and should merely be laughed at as are 13 year old kids with their hands wrapped around their dicks

[Mental Trousers]

Whoops, I was wrong. It isn't 10 rep, it's 1. Zero is still below the minimum.


How much reputation must a user have before his reputation hits count on others? 1

[YellowDog]

Resetting the points will be unfair. The people whom activielty participate, research, and provide assistance to others will get their ratings back really quickly: Whereas the ones who can't be bothered would appear 'Blingless'

HOW WOULD THAT BE FAIR?

[Phurrball]

If ya ask me, 'tis about the wee comments given or received anyway -

Push that button Mr Trousers!

(But can we plz have a party, and a countdown, and fireworks and stuff! Huzzah!):wari:

[ManDownUnder]

I think we should have a poll to decide if we should have a poll or a committee or just do it.

And after that, if the committee is the preferred toption, can we vote who gets onto the committee???

Only if the steering committee approves of the idea...

[Mom]

And after that, if the committee is the preferred toption, can we vote who gets onto the committee???

No, I am of the opinion that we should form a committee to find out if that is the best option, and then form another committee or delegate if we must, to word the next poll to decide if we should have a Poll that COUNTS, and then if it is decided that the results will count, we will need to form a new poll, so the masses may vote.
If the result is a yes to resetting the bling, then a further committee will have to be formed to decide the date that this should happen, best that be done by a poll too!

FFS! people, this is a website where we all come to share information, pull the piss etc. It is not a democracy! Waste of time even debating the subject really.

Imagine the bleating threads to discuss forming yet another committee to formulate a poll to bring back the bling if it is changed.

I will be sad if my bling is reset. I am nothing without it!

[ManDownUnder]

No, I am of the opinion that we should form a committee ... bleeding eyes.... aaarrrggghhh

JR, great idea, I'd bling you but cannot be arsed. Anyone that considers bling to be important has issues. Personally I have never given a fuck who thinks what about me until I had my accident and then my priorities changed and also my opinion of our great community as so many have done so much for Coaster and I. I'd also love to see who gets upset if its done, just so I can wind them up no doubt like everyone else. Although I've been trolling a bit here on KB and one certian nancy boy R1 riding blouse has taken the bait nicely...:devil2:

[Quasievil]

I say get rid of Rep all together, so many threads are started as obvious Rep gatherers and it would reduce the amount of dribble posted.
as well as reduce the agro from when someone gets red repped, its a pointless exercise.
that other site doesnt have it, and that makes it clear to me its not needed.
Thats my pennies worth

[sAsLEX]

I raise your set to zero with a more complex but ultimately more fair system.

A rep point has a limited life, say 1 year, so at any time your total is only from the last years reps? That way you loose all your old points and it wont need resetting periodically like your solution.

Go forth and programme.

[Kickaha]

get rid of it altogether would be my vote if someone had thought to include it in the poll

[Trudes]

So it would be like Flybuys?? Cool, I need a new grill.

[Usarka]

i love your work mr trousers :killingme

[terbang]

Really it makes no difference to me whether we have rep or not. No problem with a red along with a comment as to why its there and some of them are quite witty and deserved. Often makes me take a look at my own writers voice as I may have been misunderstood. But there are those (slackjaws) that just type unintelligent abuse in atttempts to harass. I suspect this is not the intention of the Rep system.
Conversely the green is often an acknowledgemt of agreement, and I cannot imagine much abuse in that area except for it possibly giving the odd one (slackjaws again) the perception of superiority over other contributors. Hence the often hail of abuse over some debated subject.
If your gonna wipe it yearly or similar then my view is to wipe out the lot.

Mainly through the dumb rep system in place. Get rid of it altogether now, I say. Before we loose more members through the tactics of the sites brainless bullies. You have 97% in favour of doing something so let's do it immediately, me thinks.

I wonder how many of your posts have put folk down and shit on them. I say at a guess aaaaa probably 80% take them of your rep and what have you got fuk all green bling.

Look the rep system is a load of bollocks. I am a member of a few forums and a lurker on many more. Not one of all that I lurk, and belong to, run this stupid system of rep green blocks. How fucking childish!!
Get rid of it once and for all I say. Whilst we have the chance. "DO IT NOW"

[Joni]

I see the rep hunters lining up at the starting blocks to get there little green blings back, already Im sure thinking of pointless crap to post worded in ways to get the most rep in the fastest way possible
I predict a surge in dum posts a coming !I agree x2....

1)An invite for the rep whores to talk more crap so they can win the next "race".
2)Get rid of the rep system - but I have been saying that for years, however Spank and now MT seem to get a kick out of the shit it causes.... dunno, go figure...

Why not institute some type of Y.O.B (Years On Board) rating to allow those who feel the need to be recognised there due recognition... :grouphug:

The Rarefied Strata inhabited by the Ancient Worthies is all but inaccessible to new forum users.
Firstly, I disagree. If you look at the Members List, sorted by reputation, there are relative nooblies who have a substantial number of reps (courtesy of posting rude or silly things that appeal to other nooblies), while other fossils/dinosewers/senior members are relatively low down the list. So the "reputation" points are really either "popularity" or "infamy" points, depending on how they're used. Either way, they have little to do with the worthiness of posts or the member who posted them.
Secondly, I don't really care (point one was just a logic thing, and rebuttal to your comment). I don't care enough to vote. It's nice to be able to comment on (praise or rubbish) someone's post without having to PM them or publicly post in the thread, but the rep points themselves are meaningless.

Ain't that the truth. You can slave for hours on something, writing and rewriting and you don't even get a post in response. Give someone some shit, deserved or otherwise, and the rep comes flooding in.

I suppose people will always be divided on this.... the ones who see value in rep, and the ones that dont.

[Mental Trousers]

... and does not portray the feelings of KBers. Oh and big friggin deal deal that KB is not a democracy ...

Unless a significant proportion of the regular viewers (1200+ of them) voted in this poll it is in no way representative at all. So at least 600 people (half of the daily regular number) need to vote before I'd even consider taking the result seriously. But that won't happen because so few people actually give a rats arse about rep.

I was always going to reset the poll to it's correct state (and have now done so) after a few hours. It's always very interesting and educational to see who comes out and gets highly offended and about what.


... This is JR's poll and thread, not here just to provide you with amusement ...

I believe Mr J Random started this thread and poll as a wind up and is sitting in front of his computer having a hell of a laugh. What he didn't expect was that I'd pick it up and run with it by pushing it onto the news page and get as many people as possible in on it. His responses in this thread would tend to back up that it is in fact a piss take.

[ManDownUnder]

Post the feedback - this is a forum after all.... or pm the person.... why wank on with the rep?

I like the link from the feedback back to the post. The mechanism itself is quite elegant rather than firing off a PM, embedding a link etc. It simply becomes an instant, linked short message.
Agree with what you say though (tempting to bling you just for the irony)

Wanking on about anything egotistical just turns into a facebook type race where people try to get the most "friends"...

I'm up there in the rarified strata as JR puts it and to be honest it's simply a reflection of the length of time I've been here. There are many others contributing as much or more (significantly more) than me... so the number of blingy thingies I have is a measure of what? How many blings I have!

It's like the IQ debate - it's a measure... of what? IQ! There are inferences that can be drawn from it, but at the end of the day an IQ score only reflects how good one is at sitting IQ tests.

Same with bling - it's simply a measure of popularity, and I never realised popularity was a contest. It's not, never has been never will be- except to the insecure. Ergo my want to ditch red and green, but keep the feedback side of it (for ease of use)

If I understand the technical side of things this could all be achieved in one fell swoop by simply setting everyone's bling to zero. No-one would be able to bling anyone with any points, so we'd all STAY on zero, but the feedback would persist. No code changes at all (says he never having seen the code... and knowing bog all about it except as a user)

Well, I dunno.

Jim2's written a few posts here and there of the highest quality that have really got me thinking, and I haven't actually felt that I could add anything to them aside from a "hear hear", which I usually provide via rep.

Oh for sure. But for the most part those sort of posts are actually pretty rare. Most people (myself included) generally flick off some glib remark rather than actually think about what was said.

Also, I too give people rep rather than making a post than adds nothing other than well said. Actually, I've been known to dish out the better part of 3000 rep points in a day (there are no restrictions on Administrators in the rep system) and some people have recieved a good 300-400 points simply because a series of posts were top quality.

[James Deuce]

[Mikkel]

it's all bullshit and should merely be laughed at as are 13 year old kids with their hands wrapped around their dicks

But consider the problems associated with an entire generation that will go blind!


well to be fair. I have around 3800 bling.

around 3700 of those came from taking the piss out of people. It doesnt reflect helpful posts at all anyway.

It is well known that bullshit posts nets you more bling per unit effort than posting well written posts of substance. In that regard it's a good reflection of real life.

Well, a public "hear hear" serves as a bump and means that the goodness stays afloat for a while longer before disappearing into the bottomless abyss that is page 2 and beyond in any "important" subforum.



I think the idea of reputation point decay is a good one! However, let's make it more interesting and introduce exponential decay of rep points. Given that R represents your reputation point total and t denotes the time the decay can be described as:

dR/dt = k*R(t), where k obviously is a negative constant that will determine the rate of decay.

Bahaha! Accelerated entropy. Bahahaha.

I doubt I could file for a patent on the exponential functions - so I don't see what you mean.

Maybe to you, and some others. Your positive/Negitive are almost on an even keal so that cant be bad cant it? Ok, your rep received is only in the 20's and you have been here since last July, but its ok, all in good time.

absolutes are almost always about masturbation.

how relevant is it that someone with 5000 posts onboard has 10,000 rep points when another person with just 500 posts has 1100 rep points?

seems to me the latter is more worthy than the absolute................

until we see 'reps per post' points and the reps can be traded for credits against some kind of motorcycling purchase; it's all bullshit and should merely be laughed at as are 13 year old kids with their hands wrapped around their dicks

Exactly Swoop, KiwiBiker has set the benchmark in Biker Sites. It has exploded over the last 5 or so years. I have only been here for half that time. It will continue to evolve, some may like it and some may not. I have heard some of the 'Day 1' entrants complain a bit about ''How it use to be''....tuff shit, this is how it is now and it will forever change, not everyones cup of tea or Bourbon but I for one beleive KB King of all Biker sites and I wouldn't go anywhere else, no need.

we really should leave red rep as it is. gives us a chance to voice why we think the post was retarded, just like how green rep gives us the option to encourage quality posts.

if some insecure newbies are that worried about their e-penis that they want the rep reset they really need to have a long hard think about what is important.

the only change i approve is putting an 12 or 24 month expiry date on rep to prevent issues where we need some huge scale for members with a million points... what's up with this new colour coding?

Here's the idea - although the votes seem to be on the "no" side or the moment what if the vote was turned so people with the most to lose had more voting weight. So for example jrandom's vote is worth 33,000 and mine ws worth around 11,500. that would be truly fair now wouldn't it?

[Brett]

Meh, I am only pafe 9 as it is. I dont care.

[jrandom]

if some insecure newbies are that worried about their e-penis that they want the rep reset...

It was all my idea. I've been on KB for five years as of July '08 and have over 33,000 rep points, more than anyone else.

VBulletin stores rep totals as a single number against each user in the database. It doesn't sum rep transactions historically whenever it needs to find the total points.

Putting 'expiry dates' on points associated with each rep comment would require implementing significant additional complication in the system.

Are you volunteering to code it up?

:cool:

[motorbyclist]

couldn't be that hard surely? i'm not too bad with php and databases, plus got some software engineer and web designer friends;)

but if the rep doesn't have the dates already recorded (which it does atleast for the last 50 shown on the user control panel) it'll need resetting

Yes, yes and fuck off not me!!

In theory it could be done (cron job that totals rep once every 24 hours) but screw that. Too much like hard work and not exactly a good use of server resources.

Besides, I've got something sorted out that will please the vast majority of people (yeah right :crybaby:). Won't be implementing anything until vbulletin 3.7 comes out though.

Seems you have more :innocent:

no, just better; more considered probably, less bullshit quotient




I wont say he is a cock though, I have learned my lesson about doing that :shutup: he is just not worthy of a response.

meow!

trouble is most of you just aint smart enough to offer intelligent debate in opposition to my opinions; your feeble attempts just prompt me to laugh louder and post more debate you are too flaccid to counter with anything but childish personal attacks.

hell, i might not always be right but i'm often far more cleverly wrong than my opposition here


i like your attitude, id bling ya if i could

why thankyou carver, you're obviously a very intelligent and perceptive member


Now, if everyone only had one opinion each it would be much easier to handle...

one opinion each?

unlike some stereotypical males here, i'm a multi tasker and can handle a multitude of opinions at once

sadly though, many of the floozies also fall into the 'inadequate' category

no, that would just perpetuate the nonsense of absolutism

you and random aint special, you've just been here longer

Hey look, I don't have to multi quote; the management are so concerned they do it for me

good one, keep up the good work

ROTFLMFAO!

Yep, that's a pretty considered and worthwhile contribution alright. Keep up the good work, stick it to the man :2thumbsup

The rep system can be a good thing in that, the bad comments left by someone you dont know must surely come from a very very uptight person. Well, thats the I see it. They must think (in thier own little world) that they are hurting you with a little red dot. Or, stroking your thigh softly with a green one?

There should be an option in your User CP added to have or not have rep received!!!

Maybe Mental Pants Wearer could attend to this??

Well thats the last time I give Green to a bloke then.

Fuckin' oath, you should be charging $350 an ounce.

That is why it should be optional....an arse will always be an arse but a prick doesn't always hurt.

PS: Thank you Dan....feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeels good!

PPS: BTW Trudes...you are beating me....keep it up, I love it that way :spanking:

I got given some west coast whitebait earlier this year, I done a good deed for some people from down datta ways. They needed a jump start at about 8pm one night. They gave me the stuff but we ended up sending it down to some friends in Napier...they love it we dont!

[Hitcher]

The ideal accompaniment for a well constructed whitebait fritter is a glass of The Macallan. Accept no substitutes or imitations.

And you would, perhaps, be amazed at how much richer and deeper its bouquet grows under the stimulation of the West Coast's other major cash crop.

Can anyone answer this?

I know how many points I give when giving Positive Rep, is it the same amount when giving Negative Rep? as in take away the same amount?

Unlike the 'Indian Giver System', the rep system is one time when when you can take back what you give, albeit you have to wait a day or two...:wari:
