I know the Chillen thread is closed, but I have to set stuff right between some people:




I was given rep for my previous post by Chillen:

You deserve a rep for the narrow minded path you have chosen, Brotha

Name calling and childishness isn't going to get you anywhere, Chillen. Because I don't take your side I am narrow minded? Because I can see things from a different perspective? Don't get me wrong, I think you're a great guy, but please. Don't even come at me with that.

My case is in my point. When I was given this frivilous rep, my points went up by FOUR. I had an additional added green box.

PB, your point was actually refuted by he whom you protect. I was given positive rep for a post that was probably not that helpful because no one seemed to get the question I was asking...or just didn't want to admit something. Again, it was frivilous rep. Given on a whim, so to speak.

I guess since the mods added the rep system, it must have some sort of real use, and cannot be used for fun at all. IE, Mreik and his red rep, Sara and her "neg rep only", Merciless and I repping eachother for ****s

You can write tons of helpful posts and never get repped. You can write one or two posts that aren't necessarily helpful and get repped by someone like Chillen and suddenly have a lot of rep power.
 
I like chillen myself he annoyed me at first though. The rep system annoys me somewhat, not because I have jack all rep but because people get so hung up on it. Just have a laugh like lei said have a joke with it.

The same goes with post counts it doesnt matter how many posts you have. I go through stages of posting alot of s**** and then Ill post a decent one.

Lets all keep it real people its just a forum after all.

Lets all just get along lol.

I love you you love me lets be a happy forum family with a great big post and a bit of fun and laughs but then again who gives an ass. (barney tune please)
 
I've thought for a while now that the rep system means absolutely nothing. Members that are liked will get repped for saying anything at all, even if they say nothing useful or even give incorrect (factually) responses, thus making the rep system stupid. The intent for it was good, but its gone downhill since its inception. The thing that use to bother me too was recieving negative rep for giving useful, and correct advice to other members. Although, you do get a satisfied feeling when someone gives you + rep for giving them or another person useful feedback or advice. Which is what it should be used for anyway.

I don't get the number of posts thing either. I've been here for 2 years and havn't even notched up 1000 posts yet!! And honestly, i visit this forum most days of the week. The number of posts you have doesn't mean anything either and consistantly posting in huge numbers can become quite irritating. I assume the rep system was brought in to seperate quality from quantity but has in some ways failed.

Well said, im gunna give you rep now muahahaha :yelrotflmao:

GO PHOENIX
 
sorry to interject, but does someone's rep power influence how much rep power you get?

for example, if Mr. Smith has 500 rep points and he gives rep points to NBS 4life, will they be more meaningful than if i gave rep points to NBS 4life (I have two rep points).

and holy f#ck, there are negative reps?

oh, this thread seems fun already!!!
 
:(

I read some of the stuff on the closed thread. I didn't realize that it took such a nasty turn. I think chillen is a great addition to the forum, I really like having him here. I think it's great that he's so active. He's very motivational. As for the rep system, I like how it works. No, you can't control how other people will use it, but that's the fun of it. How important is rep anyway?

And to answer your question, aeonteal, yes, it does matter how many points the repper has. It's one full rep point per 25 points the repper has. So if I have 36, I will give someone 36 points which add up to 1 rep point plus 11 points to go towards their next point. Someone with 100 will give 4 points.

**** you people for giving Chillen a hard time. The same enthusiasm he gives to others on this forum is the same enthusiasm he has for life, and thats what makes him great and when he welcomed me i was like " oh wow, this sounds like a great community" and i decided to stay. And I was right, it is a great community.

Everything chillen does he means good for it. He is imo the #1 asset on the forums and a major motivational drive for many of us. He definetely motivates me.

And lei, when chillen gave you rep did you ever stop to think he repped you for the path you chose and NOT for the reason had chosen to believe?
 
yeah man, chillen has been nice to me from the get go, too.

i don't really know what went down before or between them but LeiYunFat definitely doesn't feel like it's all good and he has a right to speak out about it. but, nothing is a personal attack, i hope.

who knows, maybe they can clear the air. :confused:

but the rep point drama doesn't seem that serious, but that's just my own opinion...(don't kill me!)
 
When someone comes on this forum and asks a question that nobody wants to answer such as "I'm fat and I want a six pack what do I have to do," chillen is always there to give that person direction when everyone else turns the other way. He's a baller. That's all I can say.

Don't bring me into this mess :boxing_smiley: lmao..

Let's keep the thread how Lei started it, civil.
 
The path to hell was paved on good intentions. And all other worthless cliches. Look, everyone knows Chillen means well. Chillen is nice to EVERYONE. That isn't what we're talking about.


The point I was trying to make when brining up the rep system that it IS just for fun. Not to be taken seriously at all, and is not designed to seperate those who have merit from those who don't.

Which strengthened my main point, that a lot of what makes up Chillen's post count can be considered as spam.

This isn't about who's a better person.

And Phate, it was actually more about passive agression. And you took it out of context. Look at the type of post he + repped. Short and cryptic. It refuted the claim that positive reps are given only to members who are making helpful posts and ****, and strengthened the claim that rep doesn't mean ****.
 
What's all the drama and fuss about? Whoever doesn't like his posts, then don't read them.

Word is Chillen's on a plane to the United Kingdom right now where he will be knighted and we are going to have to call him Sir Chillen from now on!
 
Who ever thinks the rep system is flawless is inn for a shock. Yeah, friends who like eacother rep eachother. It usually goes something like this:

"ZOMG LOLZOR pwnDz0r lawlzers!!"
- "omgzor!! + rep bro!!! + rep!!! awsome!!"

repeat for desiered number of posts.

Now I realize that's pushing it, but honestly, that's how I see this. I think I've given 1 + rep in the last coupple of months. If I'm to rep someone it's because I really think it's helpful. Often it takes sevral good posts before I decide to + rep someone.
However, that depends on their rep power and how much knowledge I know they have. It won't take as much for me to rep a new member of this forum who comes and makes a few good posts about things that may be common sence to us, but I give him rep because he is obviously someone who knows a bit. But I wouldn't give someone like Evo or Goergen + rep for the same post.
 
Wow, this is like 3rd grade all over again!

But I'm not above posting myself ;)

1) If you have a problem with a member on here, avoid them, talk to them or report them. Don't bitch about it on the forum

2) The rep system is obviously just a bit of fun so I don't see why it's been mentioned here.

On a side note I would rather the rep system scrapped and replaced with something a little more dumb like high fives and wedgies where there is no such thing as rep power so if you make a post that someone likes for any reason you give them a high five and because there is no rep power it doesn't matter if it's come from a newbie or a mod, it's just an acknowledgement that you enjoyed the post.
I think that way you'd see more use of the system. At the moment I don't like repping that much because I have such a high rep power.
