It sorta seems like it would make more sense if the old-timers who aren't high-volume posters ought to be part of the system, if the system is to be anything but worthless.

It would be a partial bro circle jerk any which way it was implemented, but yeah giving sigwhores, surfers and bots the power to rep is probably why I see many people I wouldn't take advice on what time of day it is with high reps. Just a bit of fun I guess to help create a few more posts and board dynamics. I don't for a second think it will change anything though.. Since when do trolls not want negative attention?

Beatings for you, I told achmed you pakistani street dog. Never look at me again or I will beat you myself.

I'll take the business and traffic I have built up by working off the boards most of the last 10 years.

I know 9 green icons doesn buy me shit. My traffic and experience from working off the boards does.

Most of the players in this biz have way less than 10,000 posts.

So is this board about biz or about post count? Seem its is mostly about post count since this silly rep thing.

But whatever, everyone has 9 greens. Now what?

Spunky 10-17-2010 07:35 PM

I think 11 is the max,sooner or later everybody will have the max

edit: double post, blame it on firefox

Vjo 10-17-2010 08:01 PM

They should give you guys who post here so many $$$ per 10,000 posts not green icons. Fact is you high posters do make GFY.

I've looked at (life and) the board from "both sides" (FFvB) and without all the "characters" and lets just say it isnt as good. (Joni Mitchell ref had to throw in)

Frankly I think they are just giving you something. It isnt worth a damn and it and 5000 hits MAY get you a sup.

In a way I am most dissapointed in GFY for creating a "click" that now "monitors" and gives rep based on some willy nilly reasoning and thinks it means anything.

Wait, OK now it makes perfect sense. This is GFY lol Does anything make sense?

I guess I am supposed to "seek the click" and gain rep so I am not outcast as only a wm who earns a living as a porn afil (dieing breed) and not someone with mundo green after my name.
It's ok green is cool. My fav color.

But WOULD you want the old cat after 13 years in the trenches to start sugar coating it because someone will get oiffended and red me.

sigh it is all so stupid.

And fuck you agent488 I'll :) all I fucking want a-hole.

If I posted 80,000 times it would be important to me too.

And fuck the other dipshit who red'd me. :)

I like red. :) Red me up assholes. :)

You know if you green me I'll love you for life though. But you got to mean it. :)

Noone gave me one green after all my good music threads. Damn. I am so out of time, out of touch :)

Rep is all based on Wild Things......................


GetSCORECash 10-17-2010 08:09 PM

The bumpers have power now! When will they charge to rep?

Agent 488 10-17-2010 08:10 PM

they be reppin' everybody in heah.

Vjo 10-17-2010 08:46 PM

What a sad life we all have. lol

Like Carlin said, put us all on pcp and meth, throw us in a pit and let us beat on each other till one survives. :)

That is sort of GFY.

Anyhow hope your signups are BIG that is what counts.

Doctor Dre 10-17-2010 09:17 PM

I don't get it

Vjo 10-17-2010 09:20 PM

Wow thanks for the greens. Finally. :)

Geez. Now I am all emotional and love you all and love the whole rep thing. lol :)

What a little "green" can do.

"you like me, you really like me" Sally Field

Note: I realize just saying Sally Field on GFY is risky and may get me bad rep. But please dont. You know I am sensitive. :)



must say when you get green you feel the love, when you get red you feel the hate

it doesnt matter, but you do

Forkbeard 10-17-2010 09:59 PM

Also I have a red/green color vision problem. If somebody gives me red rep, I'll probably never even notice...

Vjo 10-17-2010 10:51 PM

I want a Spunky one liner, a Captain Howdy pic, Agent488 cracking another interesting thread, Amp talking cannabis, (who doesnt in San Fran) you get the picture. :) Back to the beautiful thing gfy is.

I do admire guys who posts all day like Spunky and Captain Howdy. Honest to god I do and it is NOT easy.

Try to post one liners all day at the rate they do and not want to kill someone in a week. :)

They truely enjoy GFY and I enjoy their posts. (using them as an example) GFY needs the high posting guys.

It is almost an art form to post as often as some do and in a way it is reasurring to see things dont change.

So rep on BROthas.

Whatever, right, it's just gfy and this is



Note the power of GFY.. Spunky said (in a 3 fav foods thread) he likes cereal. Now I always think of Spunky when I see cereal. :)

I mean have you ever met a bad guy who eats cereal. Spunky has to be just like all my buddies who all eat cereal. I should eat more cereal btw, great b4 bed, secret of all thin people.

And also what is great is Spunky, Howdy and 30 other guys will have read this post withing two minutes of my pushing the button.

Amazing.

Note: 488, I took out like 6 smilies at least just for you. (normally smilie would go here here but not this time)

Vjo 10-18-2010 12:22 AM

Oops got another red, must have talked or smiled too much. :)

Ooh well I'll put it on my next electric bill see if they accept green or red icons from GFY.

Anyhow back to work. See you next week. Get some shit posted for me. :) I'll make some more money for you, i mean me. :)

:glugglug

i don't know if it cut down on trolling or not, but the gay "rep me and I will rep you" crap that has been going on totally made what could have been a usefull function into something about as relevant as post count. :2 cents:

It had zero potential to be useful in the first place. Sometimes the only way to get that point across is to abuse the living fuck out of it. :2 cents:

The thing I don't get is how opposed GFY higher ups seem to be with implementing iTrader, claiming it will get abused like hell, then they bring Rep in. Great. At least with iTrader you can view a transaction history, see what threads the transactions were made on, and gauge a reasonable expectation based upon who that user has worked with and their feedback.

It's not a perfect system, but at least it holds some purpose. Unlike reputation..

NOW REP ME FUCKERS, REP REP REP REP REP REP REP REP REP

Its simple, more posts = more page views = more advertising dollars. Its always about the money.
