Why does Psychoti have only 1 rep?
100% nadda, i look at the rep system as an ego system. A group of people trying to be something they aint.
True reputation is achieved by people knowing you can be trusted/good at something simply by looking at your name, not thinking "hmm they have 5 bars of good rep so they must be good!". Besides its already proven that a lot of people are rating inside their own little cliches, so nah think i'll stick to the good old method of trusting everyones opinion on each and every post |
I give it about another month before it all gets turned off, and good riddance. People ought to be judged on a per-case basis, not pre-judged by the lights (or the stars).
No longer are you called PK, it'll be easier to call you "perma busted"

The fact that you "bust" people proves that you DON'T trust everyone's opinion on each and every post. You do your own research to prove them wrong. Thus you're busted.

Actually if you check my "busting" history i've only ever busted people when they've said something but done the complete opposite or when they say something thats so wrong it deserves to be busted [in a friendly way]
Theres trusting peoples posts and then theres letting people know that they made a mistake in their post [which is what busting is, in a light hearted manner] to help keep the forums as informative as possible. After all, isnt that what forums are for? To find the correct information you want?
But yeah you took the context of the post out of whack since the OP is about why somebody has only got a low rep when that person seems to be quite popular on your servers. I replied stating that a person shouldnt need a rep bar to be noticed, they should only rely on the content of their present post and not think "ok im trusted now so i dont have to put as much effort in". Thus my post came to the conclusion that that is why i dont look at peoples reputations/past experiences, but only what they are currently saying and not automatically thinking "ok they're right because they got a high rep".
We are all wrong from time to time [even if none of us like to admit it] and that is why peoples CURRENT post should be trusted at first glance. If the post turns out to be incorrect then so be it, least you gave it the benefit of the doubt.
^^^^ That is what i meant by trusted

Is there a manual for this ****, because it's so confusing... it's like another language or something.
Well, I haven't even looked into the rep system, seems kinda silly to me as a concept. I'll go with what others have said about reading each post and taking it on it's merits regardless of who the poster might be.
Oh, and apparently I have no rep, so the system seems to be working.

Regardless of my original intent with this post I highly recommend that everyone read the Rude Tells thread. It will make you laugh and give you hundreds of ideas on how to deal with the obnoxious players we all sometimes stumble across without losing your temper.
There's a link right to the thread in my first post.

Hmm.... I wonder what Forbin wants us to do.... I keep getting all these thoughts and ideas in my head but... nah, couldn't be.
Thanks Forbin, now I have a rep, completely undeserved, *proving* the system can be messed with! Tis funny. I have at least out of this thread learned enough about the system to know that it's silly.

To be honest, and it's only because it was asked, but reading the Rude Tells thread I simply don't believe those are actual chat logs. To me they read as manufactured for the forums, but maybe I'm not the only one.

rep amuses me. One of my downvotes is from someone "politely" telling me that Roleplayers ruin the game and need to be gotten rid of completely.

I'm just thinking that this effort to give rep to one specific poster (of fairly good stuff!) is kind of artificial tasting.
To be fair, there's quite a few people deserving of kudos and I'd like to think that they will get there in time.
My apologies to everyone.
