Change coming to reputation system

This is like the 12th time since CIS/WEZ that Andrew has messed with the rep system.

After the 8th time, you start to not give a ****.

If my points go to zero, there will be **** to pay. I am going to post Golden's address in every thread with all of my user accounts.

Back this place up for 10 years.

Wait, there have been changes before? Crap, I have my retirement tired up in "rep". Can"t take a hit there, government already took all the $$$.

All Negs should have a picture next to them of Tim Reynold's fat ***.
 
Will there be a change to our famous other site too?

In all seriousness I do like the LIKE button. When other sites I'm looking for a like button and feel unfulfilled when there is none. Giving a LIKE makes the forum more interesting I think.

Yeah, the Like button here is convenient and useful, along with the name attached.

Reputation is laughable. I remember the first time I saw it applied to a forum I was posting on, maybe 12 or 14 years ago. I was wondering if I was back in kindergarten, with the teacher either patting me on the head or altering her voice to scold me. Right now I have a dog who occasionally misbehaves. He knows to drop his tail and scoot under the couch in shame when I speak to him in a certain tone. Maybe I should change the system and apply dots and negs. I'll shave them into his food bowl.

For an example of the absurdity of a reputation system, let's examine the case of two neighbors. I'll call them Charlie and Sam. Early next fall, they happen to see each other out front, on a Saturday afternoon. Charlie is decked out in Canes gear: "Hi Sam. We're getting ready to go to the game. Not expecting much this season, but you never know. I'm excited to see how Kaaya has progressed. Say hi to Emily for me."

At that point, Charlie is completely detached from Sam. He packs some food and gear for the tailgate. Calls some friends for postgame plans. Sets the DVR to tape the Miami game and another one. Tinkers with the radio dial as they leave their parking lot, finding WQAM. Charlie is the furthest thing on his mind.

Meanwhile, Sam storms into his house and is obsessed. He can't decide which wall to punch, while confronting his wife: "Can you believe Charlie and his family still have season tickets? I hate that guy. He is ruining my life. He is ruining this community."

Exaggeration necessary. The hilarity, of course, is that Sam is the preferred version around here. He's the hero, the normal type, worthy of reputation praise. Charlie is the despicable enemy.

And BTW, the name Sam wasn't a random choice. That's the Simplistic Angry Male, the type who dominates one side of the political landscape these days, and with venomous paranoia spreading everywhere.
