Can Staff Explain

[Ropey]

Where do you find other people trophies? I just got a new one today..called Beast Mode, lol.

At the left hand information. "Trophy Points". You've got 155. I've got 88. The same as Ernie.

Guess this means I'm Bert.

Ropey and I have more posts and more likes than you, but we have far fewer trophy points. Nothing on you, but I'd like to know why the disparity.
@cereal_killer

Cuz I'm speshul? lol.

I have no clue why the differences. And...maybe those who really REALLY insist on some form of "letting folks know who the assholes are"..CK could toggle the -0 to on.

This breaks it down and I think cereal_killer explained it somewhere else.

I didn't see a beast mode one.

I didn't see a beast mode one.

I think the names are choices by administration. I remember reading about the discussion but this kind of thing is something I usually scan quickly.

So all the rep whores that claimed rep is meaningless got their wish. Everybody likes me! Hooray! If anyone dislikes me or more properly, disagrees with me it doesn't count.

So the upgrade took a system in place for years and turned it into meaningless crap. You friggin hypocrites got your wish.

Disagree. I was very leery BTM (Before the Metamorphosis) but after a while tooling around in the new setting I kinda like it. A butterfly (at minimum a colorful moth) emerged and not the slimy worm I was dreading. They made a good choice. And the worst annoyances they fixed pretty quickly and were infinitely patient with all the grousing over petty shit, "Ugh...those happy faces are so...so...silly" and so forth. (And I went from being a punk noobe to a VIP! Sounds impressive eh? And I just know they're not trying to feed my ego to encourage me to cough up a few more bucks)

So unless the most important thing about posting here was chasing Rep then I don't see anything to bitch about IMO.

 

[Politico]

How does that phrase go? If you can't say something nice, say nothing at all? Why yes, that's how it goes.
Those who are not liked or appreciated with their posts...don't have a lot of likes or agrees. So it's pretty easy to tell who is what. No need for playground Neener Neener Nanny Boo Boo's, right?

So it becomes a rep whore thing again with no checks and balances. A total troll can suck up to a few folks and get likes for trash but people who see through the crap have no means to bring him back down to where he ought to be.

It amounts to an election with one candidate and no no votes. It's a crap system.

It's is a pointless rep system on the internets. There is no bringing someone down to anything.
