Ryusei the Morning Star Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 A good way to lower inflation is to reduce money supply I suggest a new universal rep quota of 7 for each member. It'll make people think about what post they want to rep as well as make it so you cannot piggy bank off any one user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 The current rep limit per day is pretty large anyway.I'd go with 5 tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 5 has potential to be problematic, as many members rep reviews, as well as giving reps for winning 1v1s. Wouldn't even stop reps from the horrifying menace that is the game section, since the reps come from multiple people anyway. The issue of reps being inflated is one that is widely considered to be nonexistent, so taking measures to prevent it is pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not exactly spending anything. Should I feel bad every day that I go without repping anything? Because that basically throwing 10 reps down the plughole, right?

Dad Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Just a copy/paste from another chat. Problem being that these "random internet points" have an effect on the boards themselves. They're a part of the community that reflect what YCM deems acceptable. What they want more of. How it coincides with their views and beliefs.But honestly, I'm not sure it needs to be touched. Maybe toned back a bit, sure, but idk. Personally rep doesn't mean a thing to me. It's a cool thing to look at, but it holds no value (to me personally). Clearly that differs from a lot of board members, and it's something you want us to take a look at. But why is it so important to you? (Serious question.) Before I make any more decisions for myself and how I will voice my opinion, I wanna know why you care so much about rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you feel nobody deserved a rep today, that's fine. If you feel only 4 felt it, so be it Just a copy/paste from another chat.Problem being that these "random internet points" have an effect on the boards themselves.

Before I make any more decisions for myself and how I will voice my opinion, I wanna know why you care so much about rep.The way I see it, reps are a way of giving credit to a user for his effort in the post. It can be something funny like what Armz used to do. Or well written like Black or Brightfire, or maybe how eloquently someone put a point. Think of it like reddit gold really. I don't so much care about rep, as do the mass inflation and devaluation of it that has come with Games and debates being a repfarm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your problem is imaginary and your solution would do nothing.Ok? And people spend 5 reps in 1V1? And I already suggested that points are a more tangible reward for contests. My problem doesn't exist for you, and I've already explained what my solution would do. So either specifically refute it or stop repeating yourself giga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Except the inflation you are talking about isn't even real. There are hardly any reps occurring in the section. Reducing the number to 5 won't change that at all. All it will do is impose limits on threads that actually "deserve" the reps. You telling me not to repeat myself is hilarious.

Dad Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 We're aware of the topic. Since this has turned into poor display of conduct, I'm locking the thread. We'll come to a decision as a team and let you know what we decide. Please don't make another topic about reps. I'll be locking it immediately. You've been warned.
