Hi "Lady" read post #1 again. Cheers

Thank you for your valuable coded message, general.
I sent it to HQ at Rivendell and it has been decoded, it says "Once you reach 50 posts, magic unfolds before your eyes"

Hi all

Here is the guide on how the rep system works.
if you have any questions on the rep system. Do post in this thread..


9. Above 700 points, Infraction power kicks in.

Questions on the above...

1. What is the purpose of giving Infractions when there is no penalty and why give not one but 10 Infractions in one go? Infractions given should be a deterrent to the offender.

2. Why those with InfP can reverse Infractions given by others? This makes a mockery of the Infraction system.

3. Some members are giving out infractions for the slightest reasons.

6. Reputation spread figure is 365 which means you have to give reputation to 365 other members first before you can vote for a particular member again.

This rule is absurd. 365 people! That's way too much. I can't even reward good posting these days because of this draconian rule.

Gone to extremes. On deserving posts, hard to come by too ..daily for year's cycle? Hopefully, this gets reviewed

It's a temporary measure to stop the rampant abuse. Gotta get rid of clones first for it to work decently.

I agree on that. Posted something in another thread but let me link it here again as i think it's relevant:

It really comes down to the infraction categories leaving to much room for interpretation. Just look at some of them:

1. Insulted Other Member(s)
2. Displaying excessive ignorance and/or stupidity
3. Rude

You might as well remove those three because nobody takes them seriously as they are very subjective. Add one for vulgarities instead. Clear cut.

Sam or some super moderator(s) to review and confirm these infractions. Some sort of ban hits when a certain number of confirmed infractions are accumulated. A 'reverse infraction' function will be obsolete.

Another way to confirm those infractions is to let Inf members vote on them e.g. 10 votes needed for the infraction to take effect.

15. Only InfP accounts can subtract points.

Ning Nia Ma Eh! Limbeh cannot zap liao ah?

Limbeh cannot zap liao ah?

Only the privileged (who paid up protection money) can hit below the belt now. I only upped others to now, so guess I'll not experience the other way round (until rules change)
