it would take me whole night and lot of free mind to write that much. :)
 
~Slightly off Topic

If W130SN became a mod, what would his status be?

My suggestions...

RepWhore & Troll Moderator
Spam Killer Deluxe
Sleep-Deprived Moderator

Others have suggested, Tosser and Gaylord

But I repeat I AM NOT APPLYING for a MOD position.
 
Just because one or two persons don't believe in reps(usually this comes from someone either with a lot of reps or nothing), it doesn't mean that the whole system is useless. I am very much concerned about this rep whoring thingy not because am jealous of it but the repercussions of it in terms of quality of posts is very visible. And encouraging this is definitely dangerous.

BTW you need a good sleep :-)

Not really, all I am trying to do is show that OTHERS are TOO concerned about it and that it is meaningless.
Then again I am an enigma.
 
Fuck. misread the title, thought this was crop circles the truth.
LOL that made me laugh!

People are really getting upset about rep? Where can I cash in my rep? I can't? Back to work then, cuz Ain't nobody got time for that!

My theme song for bullshit:

I know lots of members who have a rep score of maybe 100 - 200 points
yet are very active and participate/contribute often on threads. As I have
said recently, the Rep system used to work as an indicator of a member's
value on BHW, but due to abuse of the system and a few little "Rep Rings",
it can no longer be counted on. However, if you stick around BHW long
enough, you can tell who's who - without looking at the scoreboard.

In the words of Bob Dylan:
"You don't need a weather vane to know which way the wind blows."

Jokes aside, it is quite funny to see people who have just joined or only post in the lounge with 6k+ reps, shit has got seriously out of hand.

I remember it being bigger cutie, xoxo. ;)

I agree with your sentiment that quality SHOULD be the defining factor in giving Rep but my issue is that people have been accusing each other of being rep whores and in rep circles.
This has usually NOT been followed up with any evidence to back it up.
This in turn causes resentment and other problems which do nothing but bring the forum down.

On your final point ...
BTW you need a good sleep :-)
... I agree wholeheartedly.

Cheers
 
rep will never be a barometer of a persons nature or trustworthyness
some people act nice but hide there true nature, some people just act how
they were born, knowing the decent from the deceiver is always a tough
call , personally i wont loose an ounce of sleep if rep stays or goes

a person is defined by his actions - not by the numbers on his account

Indirect reciprocity based on reputation.

Individual A first helps B. This altruistic act by A is observed by others (observers are depicted as dotted circles), and they modify the reputation of A accordingly (left). Because A has developed a good reputation by helping B, A receives help from C in the next round (right). Because individuals with a good reputation are more likely to be helped in the future, self-interested individuals come to help others in order to maximize their own benefits.
Nowak and Sigmund (2005).

Sleep on that!

buddy, you are really are a great candidate for moderator, that way you can investigate this further. but as for me it doesn't matter if they are making a dead poet society kind of thing as long that they won't scam someone and for those who accused blue guys that are rep whores, you guys are still innocent until proven guilty. So as long as there are no evidence, the accusation will only be deemed as increasing post count or a sympathy-getting thread. :)
