Ah, man... We should implement something like, all members who have been around for 2 years and 7 months should have access to Area 51. :) Ehh, ehh? Watcha think?

Well, either that.. or just all...

No thoughts on this by the admins? :-/

Yes, there's that option, but.. it should be defaulted. Smiles should be automatically disabled in code tags.

What's your point? Vista hasn't <snip> up for you, therefore it wont <snip>for anyone else? LOL

Well, obviously the members who stick around or who want to know more about the rep system either aren't searching for information about it or simply don't understand it.

If there was a pm sent...

Well, there's your problem. Install linux. Well, at least install another browser. IE sucks balls.

Hey ass, don't hijack my thread. This is serious.

I've been told that I can only bad rep posts that deserve it... so, that's what I'm going to do. If you really want to help out members in the...

I found all these threads regarding the reputation system, and lack of understanding:

Dani- I think it would be a good idea to further explain reputation to new members. There are always so many threads started because people do not understand how it works. Most recently, this one:...

Hmm I think people would just laugh :D

I remember when the rep system went public, and all the previously anonymous people who commented were revealed. It wasn't a big deal. Besides, people are...

I second that..

Ahh I see. What about when it comes to reputation comments? Are all of those viewable somewhere too?

I'm having problems viewing all of my infractions. Apparently my old ones have scrolled off like what happens to reputation comments. Perhaps the infractions should be enlarged to encompass all of...

I am bullying nobody. Giving pointless bad rep to people happens all the time. Don't believe me? Look at a few negative reps I've received:
"Hate the Fed, Mr. Ron Paul man! :p"
"awww... **** you...

Aww, man.. quit your damn complaining.
Uhhh.. A simple solution would be to use your browser full screen.. :-/


Picky, picky, now aren't we? No, I don't like your proposal. It's crap.
...

I don't know if you just can't read or what. I said to post professionally around the professional forums on daniweb. The Coffee house is not professional. People are free to do as they wish in...

Oh he's just being a big baby.

I am free to believe as I wish. And I do not believe Dani will shut down the rep system.

Really? Does "Try praying, god might have pity on you and make the neg...

Well then, either post more professionally.. or keep to yourself in the geek's lounge.

Perhaps there is a reason that people are giving you bad rep? Have you ever thought of that? I mean, if people were giving you bad rep on the other site.. and people are now giving you bad rep...

Wow.. really? Does it really matter that much? It's a damn menu bar!

Yes, ALL HAIL QUEEN DANI!

I like it Dani, and my opinion is the only one that counts ;-)

heh.. yes, I was just joking ;-)

What about the fate of random members who join to revive a month-old thread with a random, pointless post? Death by hanging!

Well, I'm glad you read it and researched yourself instead of making your own thread asking the exact same question! :)

Will the 'thread tools' also be modified so that unsubscribe/subscribe functions work?

I doubt asking will accomplish much.. Dani probably has her own screening process that she sticks too.. and contacts people on an individual basis. (I don't know for sure, but that's just my theory...

Here's an idea: Get a REAL irc client. I prefer Xchat, but chatzilla, pidgin, and trillian all work well too. :)

Hmm.. actually, I'm now experiencing that problem. I've tried logging out in firefox on ubuntu and vista, but it doesn't ever actually log me out. :-/

Yep, as Dani said.. post count, reputation, and length of membership all play a part in determining one's rep power :) Remember, before we had to rep each other to see how much rep we could give...

Figure it out, yet? Only time something like that has happened to me was when blud introduced his new scand bot that blocks proxy servers :(

Ya, tk.. You were constantly causing problems in the IRC.. I side with jt on this one :P

yeah, duh Sanjay ;)

Hey, I'm a bit bored.. and decided to dig this thing outta the grave.. Congrats Dani, daniweb has done well since it's creation! :)

(yall can't -rep for thread-digging now ;))

MidiMagic, quit complaining and get over it. If you have a problem then find a solution yourself.. don't make the admins change a setting just to accommodate your insolence.

No one else has a problem with it.. Dani is definitely right, allowing infinite editing periods could potentially be hazardous. I doubt they will change it.. it works out well.

Ah, well hell.. I guess reputation would be the reflection of the general community.. fine I'll shut up now.
Yay! 5 points! whop-de-do! 5 points wont affect anyone by much,, if such activity...

I highly doubt anyone would do such a thing.. What would be the purpose? Simply to gain reputation in the community? I'm quite certain that such activity could be easily monitored. If some random...

Yes, I agree. I've also had my share of 'newbie rep'. I believe giving new members a +1/+2 rep point affect on others could definitely help the system.

Hey, don't complain... :(

I think Christina and I were affected the most..
