or the old 'receive a rep from someone, get a few pm's that don't overtly ask for one back but offer you something and when you feel obliged and return the rep never hear from them again' one! Rolleyes

That's a diplomatic way of saying he doesn't have the know-how to make it happen. No shame there, my php skills are basic at best Big Laugh

I recall seeing from the sidelines some of the recent rep-wars, which resulted in negative reps being removed altogether. It was all very silly and petty, but got a little ugly at times as well, just hope that expanding the rep system doesn't lead us back down that path.
This is why I prefer simple thanks, you like a post, you thank the post, over a period of time, the best posters get most thanks, simples.

That's in no way a criticism of comments, I have repped people before simply for comments and have received the same in return, it's just I feel that the caps and vids of the shows generally require more time and more work to get them right. Word posts can easily be edited with the on screen basic functions. If someone uses up more time and computer space with editing and saving caps and vids, I feel that would deserve a higher award.

I would just also offer a word of caution to put in place a safeguard to avoid petty squabbles and disputes about reps. Munch mentioned the points awarded being upgradeable but not downgradeable - that seems a good idea. Also the Forum Awards at the end of each year should still continue. I'm sure you guys had no intention of stopping those, it was just a thought in case people began using extra point reps as a substitute for voting in the awards.

Interesting thread with plenty of ideas, been a good read.

Of course the cap and video posters deserve praise and credit, but i think comments and opinions are the lifeblood of this forum

I have learned how to post pictures of the babeshow girls now, but i'll never just be a picture poster even though im grateful to people for thanking my picture posts
