Im new to terb, but i think it swould be cool if we got reputation points..some other forums have it...so when members give reviews we can up or down someone reps..if yoyu know what i mean..

more points means more access to different sections, bigger inbox etc..
also video download section would be cool...

If other forums have it.. why should this one? If all sites had all the same features.. the internet would be a very boring place.

Like you said, you are a newbie here, without a "rep" and you already think you can run it better... if you do not like it, no one is forcing you to participate here


maybe you should go back to quebec
 
No.

I've been on forums with rep systems, and it's always abused.

Ultimately, people use it to give negative feedback, and say the most disgusting insults at you. And they can give negative feedback anonymously, so you don't know who gave you a bad rep.

I m too young to have a rep yet

Oh, you have a rep alright.... we just dont talk about it in polite company.

"Rep points" is such a subjective measurement. I suspect that most of us old-timers already have our own network of friends and trusted sources, so this sort of system would be pointless. Besides, even the "post count" system (which in theory is based on contributions) is useless because of all the inane post-count-building threads.

But please do make a full list of all the faults you see with our board, complete with your suggestions on how you would improve things here, and send all of that information to Fred. He loves it when non-contributing newbies tell him how to run his board.

Welcome to TERB.

The trouble with "reputation points" is that it is much easier to acquire a "bad" rep than a "good" one. Remember back to being in school you get three 100's and a 0 and your average is 75 - is that a particularly accurate description of the work you did? Same thing with reps.

Just read what people write, perhaps ask for clarification, see the SPs you're interested in and post reviews - remember that people have different preference, likes and dislikes and that applies to TERB as well as to the rest of the world.

i dont know...i dont like the whole rep thing....it's kind of useless....i know another forum i frequent we have rep building threads....where you give rep points to as many people as you can before running out.
I agree its useless, but he can suggest what he wants.
 
yeah have a quick tour in the political section and you'll get your rep points pretty quickly.

It was kind of a strange thing to say but racists? :confused:

As far as the points thing goes it just seems like a good way to for a group of people to promote each other and put others down.
 
To me, Iamfrench made a legitimate suggestion, maybe not one everyone likes, but an honest attempt to add something. So it is not fair to be so cruel to him, being cruel to stupid new-comers is one thing, but I don't think he is that, at least based on this thread.

A rep system that actually worked would be handy, so that when someone appears to an idiot, you can see what others think. Perhaps just a tally along with the post count that showed the number of users who had him on ignore, and on buddy list. If you could somehow filter the multiple handles, etc.

Rather rude and not needed?

Holy crap!
 
Lissen up to this cool idea i think you all will like.

This forum should have a flag down option for threads or people like CL does so that when people post useless threads that enough people hate or find stupid it ends the thread or deletes it cuz there seems to be so many people on here who dont post useful reviews but just post useless garbage to stroke their ego thinking they're clever or the shit but really they just losers.
Hell yeah!!!!
 
and can we vote on deleting members with loser handles













or we can just leave it all to the moderators
