For a list of people that got promoted - You must login or register to view this content.
Rep
So as you may know rep POWER now has a cap, 200+/100-, nothing has happened to your rep, the display or "E-penis" size. This simply stops people getting a rep star from 1 person rep'ing them, or totally destroy someones rep, which is stupid. this will also cut down on rep boosting and random rep, look at Dopey or Derek's rep, people "randomly" rep them in the hope of getting +rep'd back by their 700 rep power.
"why not just make stars worth more rep?"
If we did that would just be another thing people moan at, and making stars worth more, doesn't fix any problems, and would increase people boosting rep, to get to the star.
"changing rep was YOUR decision, your a shit admin!"
you mean what admins chose to do? I didn't make the desision alone, ADMINS DECIDED it was best to cap rep to benifit ALL members not just the rep whore members who wanted it to stay.
" You must login or register to view this content., that clearly states you were keeping rep how we wanted it!"
look at option 2 & 4, do they not add up to more than option 1? Yes they do, so a compromise was brought into effect, by the admins that run the site and do WHAT WE THINK, (not want) is best for the site, yes we listen to members input but if we THINK it is not gonna benefit the site or help or make things better we won't do it, take a look at site suggestions, we also don't need to go running to members with every little thing we do.
So yeah don't say we don't listen to the community or care, because we capped everyones precious Rep, if it means that much to you, go make a .co.nr site and get as much rep as you want then you can fight with yourself. :rolleyes:
I'l also say there is less than 30 people that actually do have 200 rep power, so moaning about something you don't even have is like me moaning because NASA went to the moon (to benefit the US), and me bitching because I don't have a space shuttle :confused:
I might also remind you its in the rules and when you first sign up on NGU, "NextGenUpdate staff have the right to change and alter things as we chose, without consulting the members."
one final thing - You must login or register to view this content. , now look and tell me a cap wasn't needed, if the cap wasn't in place he would of -rep'd for 350, so as you see, you said keep it, we have, but to please everyone we done what we think is best, so do tell me where we don't listen?
If we didn't listen rep would have been removed a long time ago as no staff actually like it..
Anyway thats the update, nothing big in staff world is changing, but if it does, it will be in the next community update.

I agree with this, rep has always been a problem
But one BIG problem that all this could cause (rep thing) is that if it is removed, people won't try to put much effort while making the threads, because rep is what keep them 'trying hard' to get it=D
Yes it is ridiculous how people in 6 months can get over 30,000 rep :wtf: something that would require a minimum of 3 years working hard in other forums... I think another problem is why people are so "high" in rep is the "thanks" button, you join today make a copycat on a hot topic and boom you have 1000 rep+

Not really sure why a update was needed. People that are surprised by this must really be stupid. Like you can make a couple useful threads over the course of a month, and get 100 thanks, or ask one person for rep :confused:.
Now let's get some arcade back!
Like a said before: arcade without scores is like masturbating without genitals.

I think that's best, I remember dopey being in the shout box and saying "first person to do ...... will get rep from me" lol. Iknow it will be better this way so good choice :y:. It doesn't really effect that many people either, mainly mods, admins, and rep whores since they are the ones that tend to have the most rep power.
