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.

of course theres gonna be more people voting to keep rep. there's more people on here for years who have rep stars and hang out on NGU all day. the same one who abuse the rep system are the ones that want to keep it. just like an ex-mod told me ." it's just a game" while they were talking about rep boosting and neg rep. really a game??? well enough of my rant. i know they aint gonna change the rep its too much a part of ngu. people will still want there red rep star and so forth.
ngu should just take itoff for 6 months and let everything change not just weeks or a month because all your gonna have in that month is members opinion on why it should come back

Well 70% of the people in this site have high rep, so we all know that all those people will vote for "leave the rep the way it is". What could be the best for rep is, that you could only give rep people when you press "add reputation" button. That will show the people with real rep/power and that because copied/pasted a thread and got 150 thanks out of it.
So in my opinion. Thanks/nominations/groans = 0 rep
And keep the bars/stars
Like in gamebattles forums, when you see someone with high rep, you say he have contributed a lot because rep you don't get it that easy, rep you will get it if someone reps you with their rep power etc. That would also end the rep whores, and stop people asking for rep...
Lets see the people with real rep
