Honestly, to compare newbies to people who've been here for years.
They don't stay long here anyway. Most of the time at least.
Though I get what you're saying....
It'll just be harder to make others truly smile. I guess.
I don't mind changes, as long as they would at least keep the numbers that we have. I screenshot mine just in case this happened. So I'm fine...

It's the big dogs' choice.

most newbies feel intimidated because most people with larger rep and new experience aren't forgiving even if their prey is new to the forum. it scares them, especially when the higher up has quite a bit of rep, showing power.

i just want everyone to feel comfortable. and the friends you make should symbolize memories more than anything

I still say screw the noobs.

Look at CrackFat, she joined in December and bam she's more famous than you and me combined.

(No offense)

You're right sasu.
Sorry about it. I hate change. So I'm very frieghtened of this.
As long as it makes them happier....

Will this be permanent? Like maybe we could test it out and then, if people don't like it, change it back?

And what will happened to the memories of our rep now?

@jonesy- Agreed.

It's not only about newbies.

In fact, several of the older member who has contributed A LOT to the forums in the past have been victim to the rep inflation.

It IS unfair that someone who helped the forums immensely only have say 5000 rep, while someone who is fairly new and spends all their time chatting in offtopic would have 10000 rep.

Simply put, the changes will make it so that people who contribute constructively on the forums will be recognized.

that's because of her personality. i am VERY shy and still feel inferior to many people on the forums. i would not have even lasted if i joined in the last year.

@emo: i'm pretty sure they could always go back

@aurega: but that's where i have a slight problem.
contribution to regular forums are generally shown through posts(or that's what i've been getting) where as contribution to the off topic/non post counting areas are shown through rep

Rep was supposed to measure the quality of the user.
Posts was supposed to measure how active the user is.

Somehow, it got turned around for some reason, and we're working to correct that.

It worked for a while. Then I was absent and rep inflation hit...

So now I'm back to solve the problems yet again -_-

[Noctis Arashi]

I'm down for anything.

But all I'm saying is these posts took a long ass time to get.

because it scared people. then newbies came and almost anyone who joined in '10 or '11 didn't even know about it and started up their little farms


isn't it funny how that works? xD

And half of us are happy for this

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

Posts won't be reset, Noctis.


I wouldn't call inflation a problem, but I like making rep more difficult to get. It would be nice to be able to offer rep as a prize for contests again, and people to actually want the prize.

Funny thing is that back then some people proposed steps to be taken to combat rep inflation.
At that time they were shot down.

And guess what kind of steps are being taken now?
