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.

Actually work out the initials idc or know about dopey to be fair so cannot comment on the person but although not misused by derek his rep power is far too high and although he would still be above the average person because he has so many followers on here ( I think he could make a thread on how to boil an egg and get repped by 50 people) all trying in the vain hope that he will rep them in return!!!

I think no.4 would work well, but there would still be the idea of getting a 'crew' to wreck someones rep.
My opinion on rep changes, is that everyone has the same rep power. That balances it to a whole new level.

This is also my opinion. As i said this way even if 200 people thanked or repped you would get a lot but you would know mostly genuine yet at the mo you can get that amount by 1 person going around repping and thanking posts!

Number 2 is remove it completely.
When the poll ends, add up the last three options. Then it would be keeping rep vs. changing rep. Then make a new poll between the last three options, so we can vote which way we want to change it ( if it does get changed).
The main problem is rep POWER, not rep it self. Members with high rep have the ability to destroy someones rep or the ability to raise it dramatically, and frankly that just isn't fair. The best option is number 4 in my opinion.
we just need to crack down on the boosters

It wouldn't matter how many times he was thanked, he would still have the same rep power as everyone else.
