Site News Reputation Points

Due to the excessive amount of complaints and "cheating" if you will on the reputation points...

I'm going to raise the level to 100 reputation points for each member to reach Premium.

Also, from now on, all cheaters who ask for points and/or favors by giving out points in hopes of points back, go automatically back to zero. There's no if's and's or but's about it.

Once the cheating stops, it'll go to 75.

I do apologize to the people who earn them fairly.

Yikes this scares me, but if you want it to be like this well then Im okay with it...

 

Also, I would discourage threads that are like 'I have a few rep points til I reach premium' or 'Man, I haven't had any rep points in a while' because this could be perceived as asking for rep.

 

hope this will minimize the amount of rep requests, instead of people actually earning it. feel bad for those who earn it.
Anyways good move Sara.

 

That includes those threads too, Mish. Thanks for pointing that out, fyi.

 

I think it is a good idea Sara ,
if you think about all the rep abusing that have happened
lately I understand your decision very well; )

 

Yeah... This would be a good idea. It'll stop people sending me PM's asking for rep =/

 

^ You can report anyone who asked for rep if you want to turn them in.

 

Hmmmm, I think I should... But then I'd lose a friend I dont like losing friends T.T but they did ask for rep...

 

Forward it to me, and Starting now, not before.

 

Whatev, I dont care anymore. So I'll listen to ya.

 

This is actually good idea but I think it doesn't hurt if people just report that they are being repeatedly asked for rep.

Also, the admins can check to see what that member is doing if they somehow get 100 rep points overnight.

 

Ok, sounds fair to me, 50 sounded low to me anyways.....

 

i agree this is a good idea
but wow
i only have 5 rep points......
oh god..

 

Yeah, thats actually looking like begging for rep to me. (Maybe it was a joke)

All I care about, is that I dont get un-premiumed because I only have 51 rep points.

 

You won't Shadow... unless Sara looks through your history and sees somewhere you begged for rep. (And knowing you, you wouldn't do that =p)

 

im not begging
im just saying lol

 

I didnt BEG. I just helped someone with rep and SUGGESTED that they add to my rep. That was WAYYYYY back when rep was brand new. But I admit it.

 

Rep is nothing to me. I don't care about rep...much... So I believe this set things fair against those rep eating members.

 

Don't worry you will be fine, all those who are currently Premium will stay premium (unless you cheated your way) even if it's under the current limit.
