The rep system is just another means of interaction which adds one more dimension to the dynamics of the forum.

I've found the whole experiment to be extremely interesting. It's one thing to behave in an obnoxious manner but the rep system enables someone with more seniority and more points to display more of a swagger. Not only can he say "fuck you" he can also fine a "lesser" member x number of points.

It also enables cliques to help each other in times of "need".

But the points are worthless and don't mean anything you might say but why then do people go berserk when they get deducted. It's as if their bank accounts were affected. :biggrin:

I'm still learning new things daily. :wink:

As jw5 said already, the motive of the zappers is not the deduction of points per se, but to cause irritation. How many potentially good posters have been irritated out of the forum already?

The irritation is caused not because your points decreased, but because you don't know who did it.

Kopisai used his 3 clones to deduct me, but I was not irritated because I knew who did it. Non subscribers are not so fortunate.

Yeah, donating to the forum is the key.

If afraid to use own credit card, can use the credit card of mistress or grandfather.

How the hell can someone force/bully others into compliance in a cyber world? How? Show me a single case in SBF.
Look at sochi2014 aka TeeKee, how many nicks of his have been banned by Leong.
Unsure what the hullabaloo's about.

Imho, aren't the entrances (or re-entries) and exits transient in forums? The nutters also got the proverbial 9 lives, gets resurrected in other forms.

But there seems to be a dearth of forummers with good insightful posts, either above the fray or otherwise.

then putin your money where your mouth or keybard is. pay leong sams hosting fees then you will pretty much own this forum and can tell leong sam what u want, including removing this bullshit system!

Given a choice, I don't exercise a function that I don't agree with. That would be endorsing that function. That is why have never used the reputation or infraction functions or buy some moderator status.

How do you know who did it? All you see are anonymous nicks. :wink:

I didn't say the points are "worthless". I am saying that to have a points system to prove that people do care about them, is worthless.

I am sure it has nothing to do with zapping of points.
We have a couple of jokers here trying to turn this place into Stomp.
Do you see good insightful posts in Stomp?

I've tried my best to design this place so that everyone feels welcome from intellectual to nut job.

For those who like the hustle and bustle with frequent rowdiness, then this section is the place for them but they have to accept the fact that fights will break out and bottles will be thrown.

Those who want intellectual discourse can proceed to the serious zone or the politics section. I've just modified the rep system so that they cannot lose any points there. However, points can still be added.

However, traffic patterns in the past have shown that despite the fact that the politics folder and the serious zone is far less dangerous, people still tend to gravitate to the rowdy courtyard cafe because it's more fun despite the risks.

Yes, that's what political folder is for. I hate it there. I feel so constraint over there. I can hardly breathe. :(:p

Nah, I don't give a cursory glance (or even know of it's existence from start) :confused::p From what little I know, or hear, it's the voyeurs at work (and play). :rolleyes:

There's life outside the forum, isn't it?
