Sounds about right, Guillermo.

At least it would be an improvement to how the system works right now.

 

Why not just elect a president? This sound like a campaine toooo long.

 

Well, we already have a popularity contest going, so maybe, just maybe.

Of course I would rather do without this system, but if what Guillermo said could at least be done, then that would be one small step in the right direction (direction being: Getting rid of the system).

Again you make great sense. If we must have this God awful system, as you say it should onlu cover the technical section - the open section which can and does cover some quite provocitave subjects can esily loose people through the likes or dislikes of the minority! Well said!

 

I was the one who gave you a negative feedback to your post with Michael Jackson disguised as a woman.


You say “

 

why single welly out? he didnt have a thread called (girls on boats whats with that)and there is a half dozen other threads with the same content, no wonder women stay away!as for homosexuals I havent seen anything ,,,,,not that im looking,this was not a tecknical tread to begin with,

 

Why do you say welly was singled out?? Remember the reputation system works by rating post content on a post by post basis, not forum members as a whole.

As far as the forum rules outlined in this thread, they apply to everyone.

 

I did not single welly out. That thread was not like the thread "Girls on boats"(a generic thread). It was a specific subject thread ,that intended to incentive women to post. The welly's playboy image post did seem to me completely out of topic and without any content regarding the subject of the thread.
Off course, as I have said, it is a matter of opinion and I can be wrong. Nevertheless, it is my opinion.

 

understood, forum rules apply to everyone , equally, so why is everone picking on welly? and ignoring other threads that are equally off color? like ive stated before ,any woman would be sceptical of this site , cant blame them .espescially when so much is condond, if vega wants to critisise welly, why not the others??????????///

 

I'm afraid I've come to agree with Walrus about the reputation-points thing... seems that since I approved of several member's posts several weeks ago, I'm not allowed to leave any feedback on any posts by said members anymore. "You must spread some reputation around before giving it to xxxxx again..." well, I've left both + and - comments on many many posts since then; how many posts do I have to approve of before the system will actually work? Sorry Jeff, but I have to come out in favour of scrapping it.

 

This is to prevent the abuse that many worried about where you for example would rate one or a few members "of an clique" over and over again.

 

vega the thread was ( wear are the woman) hardly a tecknical thread

 

Evidence please? He posts a large amount, so it doesn't seem unreasonable to me that more posts = more feedback. His rating is now higher than when the system started two weeks ago and assigned everyone a 10 as a starting point, thus I don't see how "picking on" applies? In total, there have been 145 reputation comments made, and by scanning through the admin log of comments, it does not appear that welly was signled out or picked on.

 

I did not say that it was a technical thread, I have said that was a thread with the specific purpose of incentiving women to post.
It is a thread posted by Wynard and its opening post was:

The subject is quite clear to me.

 

quit clear to me too; go back and read the thread , over half had chovenistic comments , but hey dont bother them , bother welly
