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.

Good to see updates flowing.
As for Rep, I'm saying keep it as it is. So some cry babies, don't like being -Repped, big deal. Some of the -Rep cases I get I see that it was completely justified, and I more than likely would've -Repped them myself, but I'm staff and I have a standard to uphold and I like to think that staff is forbidden to use the -Rep feature against anyone.
Everything has flaws (Look at Governments around the world, are any of them perfect? No, they all have their flaws, some having many, yet they never change, and nothing is done about them. Iraq doesn't count, they attacked us, and the American way is to kick the shit out of them for trying to push us around.) flaws means that checks and balances are working.
If rep wasn't flawed, Groans wouldn't be possible, nor would -Rep exists and everyone's rep would be high as shit, because boosters would go unpunished/unnoticed/wouldn't exist.
I just don't see the need to remove it.
Don't use Elly as an example of it being flawed and needing to be removed either.
Her rep is only as it is, because she's a girl. If she was a male, or would've just been quite about being a girl, she NEVER would've had the rep that she has right now. Several members of staff (myself included) +Repped her, so therefore her case isn't able to be used nor should it be justified in being used in this decision.

Why did you +rep her?
