As me and Luke were assigned Community Admins, I thought it would be appropriate to start a series of "community threads" either posted by myself or Luke, to let you all know of the current situation of what is going on with staff and whats happening with things.
Vb4.
Now you may or may not have heard, but YES vB4 is being worked on and is currently in test stages, im not going to put an expected release date as we all know shitstorms come if the target date is not met. All I will say is expect it soon.
Private Premium.
Only the premiums would of seen my thread in their section about this, but yes, Private Premium is getting a re-vamp. How the revamp will be done isn't finalized yet, but you can expect the revamp to make the section more "private" than last time (higher expectation) and contribute based. Meaning we will look at how you contributed in Private Premium and the rest of the forum before you are allowed entrance.
Now onto Rep.
Rep is broken, it is, soften it up how you want, but in the end you will see its broken. Now there will be a poll attached to this thread. VOTE on the poll, this will be a PERMANENT change on Rep.
The options will be:
1. Leave Rep how it is.
2. Get rid of rep totally (disable it and hid the display).
3. Get rid of rep totally (disable it), but keep the display of rep. (bars/stars)
4. Get rid of -Rep/+rep, but Keep Thanks, Nominations, Groans. (make groans worth 3 -rep).
So that is about all thats happening in "staff world" at the moment, you will see another "community update" thread in about a week. Me and Luke will try to push for 1 thread a week to let you all know. Now sometimes there might not be anything to update you all on, but if thats the case, as soon as something comes expect a Community Update thread.

If you're doing that, fine, but I think there should be a new feature where everybody has 1 power and they vote the user as untrustworthy or trustworthy, because removing most of - rep mainly to get rid of all drama, that will cause a lot of problems with trustworthiness. There should be an option to vote if the user is trustworthy or untrustworthy. In their profile there should be vote results.

It doesn't show how trusted someone is at all. It shows their either:
a) popular (not always a good thing),
b) a rep whore,
c) a troll who gets thanked for taking the piss out of noobs,
d) a girl who gets repped for having tits,
I could go on for ever. Its not worth having rep.

Mods are really respected members in the community, people rep them for doing a good job, just because you repped a mod, doesnt mean that it will save you from being infracted if you did something that's against the rules.
