Well, I just read this entire thread from the start and am sorry I missed all the excitement. ;) I have seen reputation systems implemented on other Forms and usually it just turns into a big mess. I understand Arn was just playing with some settings, but if a system like this is ultimately implemented permanently for MacRumors, I hope it is done in an effective, sensible manner and well communicated to everyone.

I can agree with that.. I lurk on a site where clearly I am the most reputable poster..

This old thing?


Yeah, that's the one. It'd suit vniow, don't you think? Brings out the colour in her eyes etc.

Could we have a five-star rating system of the members, if it's easy to implement? Maybe peer reviews like that of Amazon.com, as well. Could save new members the hassle of replying to sarcastic idiots, like myself. :p


Good idea. I remember when I started here I had no idea who was being serious and who was being Laceroish™.

And Tee Shirts. Gotta have tee shirts.


Only if they're in the same style as the Hat of Vindictiveness™. I hate mismatching my wardrobe and I'm sure vniow does too.

Anyone know why I've been trademarking everything all of a sudden? Serious question. Must be the madness getting to me again...

That makes absolutely no sense! :rolleyes: Your head must be all noodley from all the lyrics from those songs you listen to.

Sing along with me: If you don't' know me by now, you'll never never know me... lalala

Here's to the Crazy Ones

Secretly you have WWJD on the brain around this time of year..

That'd be nice. I'd also like to see something like "date registered" instead of post count which has worked well in other forums.

It stops idiots posting 24/7 just to gain an avatar.

Well, maybe a bit drastic. Anyway, OT. Mad Jew is just mad. He's seeing things.

Well, I have an avatar already so it's too late for me. :eek: I may still be an idiot, but that hasn't stopped me yet.

Yes, but arguably your posts are worth while were as other are drivel. I kid I kid! :D :p

This is not really a problem. .... Oh the irony.... :eek:

You're not an Idiot. ;)

No, actually the Mods stop idiots from doing that. We have an excellent team of Mods here who are on the ball and don't put up with that kind of crap. :cool:

Don't worry, you're not alone... although I can't say I got my avatar as quickly as you - what was it, a week? ;)

You're new here, aren't you? Don't worry, you'll learn... :p :cool:

I'm insulted. :eek:

:D!

Sorry, it's just that your comment regarding my dear cohort Lacero implied you knew nothing about her excellent "posting habits", and therefore your experience on MR must have been limited. :D

I imagine it is some secret moderator thing.

I use something similar that is only visible to moderators or administrators for "problematic" or "Totally awesome" users that the group can keep an eye on. With the selected icon, I can spot posts by "flagged" users to help gain or take away credibility, I also have specific icons show up for posters tend to post in more helpful forums, as opposed to "off topic". And lastly, if they end up posting many times per day (currently set at 25 posts), they will also get a special icon that looks like a SPAM brick :) .

It adds to the fun of being a moderator and administrator on that site :) . They also come in handy, but it took allot of coding in PHP (something I am quite bad at) :( .

And no, this isn't on my site, as our forums are quite dead. It is for a car site that I wish to remain anonymous as being a moderator / admin for :) .



Saw that post yesterday before you or somebody else edited it. ;)

Steve Jobs. :p

Hehehehehehe...Super Jesus. I like. :)

And...*pouts* I want a rating. :(

Hmm... I have a feeling that my rating would be in the can.
I'm so full of it.

Mmm, I'd be the only member to have a letter in their rating number.

Kt's rating: 2.718i
:D

Excellent usage of imaginary numbers. :)

Whatever, I passed calculus this semester. BOOYA! :D
Thank you, super-jesus/Steve Jobs/Scarlett Johansen

(thank you google, for the other S-J name. I love you, baby!)
