Although I'll agree that Adam is going through his period this month, I dare say that he is usually one the more POSITIVE staff members. But his tolerance for whining is at an all time low.Originally Posted by xsockmonkeyx
I think the only real issue here surrounds the benefits from achieving "Adept" status. It's not like people are looking to advance within a company. If you're looking for complimentary notice from your peers, do well in large tournaments and hold your accomplishment up high. It really doesn't matter either way.
You're either a winner or a loser at this game, competitively. There is no gray area.
There seems to be a correlation between Adam's tolerance of whining dropping as the amount of member whining drastically increases.
I expect Randall Monroe to have a graph up, complete with explanation about this on Friday.
This is arguably one of the greatest fallacies I've ever read on here. I'll just leave it at that. But if you want to push the moderator's buttons....Adam: consider the fact that YOU and your attitude are some of the biggest problems these forums face.
I did a quick Google for "vBulletin reputation". What I found is that User Reputation is basically the Karma system I put up for suggestion earlier on.Now to further complicate matters, the Admin board has a User Reputation option. I have NOT reasearched that enough to fully understand how it will work and what-not, but I'm at least curious as to what it actually is. Imagine that I can set it up that when a user hit a certain reputation level, he got a new color for his name? Sooooo cooool..... However, it probably wouldn't mean that much since the Admins can change that too.

YOU'RE GIVING ME A TIME MACHINE IN ORDER TO TREAT MY SLEEP DISORDER.
I'm a big fan of any graph that breaks past the arbitrary limits of my monitor.

But hopefully no new member ignores my post because of my low post count.
This could be a rather interesting experiment; however, I imagine it could create even more whining.
Pyshwa, who do you think you are, n00b? Talk to me when your post count is 2000+

Team Info-Ninja: Shhh... We don't exist.
Team SPOD[23:08:50] <@Anusien> You want me to actually test?
[23:09:02] <frogboy> I thought you already had
What, exactly, do you expect from us at this point? We've gotten some suggestions on potential ways to improve the system, and now we're considering their implications and ways to impliment them. At the same time, we're defending ourselves from the outcries of "BIAS!!!" Is there something more you think we should be doing?
You are blinded by your friendship. If you replaced all of Nightmare's posts in this thread with my name and avatar you would think, "gee, what an ass".
I honestly believe its time for a few moderators to step aside, for the better of the community at large.

Name names or stfu.
Is there any way to hide it?
Speaking only for myself, the only time I even notice post count is when I suspect someone of being a troll.
Early one morning while making the round,
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down;
I went right home and I went to bed,
I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head.
I can't find one. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but I am really looking.
Far be it from me to prove anyone right, but at the risk of being an elitist asshole, and due to my own credibility and position being attacked, I've gotta ask:
Who are you, and what have you done for this site and/or format?
Cause honestly, my patience is wearing thin.

I don't think this is necessary, and everyone is kind of turning into an ass hole.
I mean, really, over post count? Why would either side of an argument over post count get upset?

Friendship really has nothing to do with that. I debated mentioning that in my post, but was assuming someone would actually believe I wasn't stupid enough to think that through before posting. It's the fact that, as a moderator, he does (did?) more work than the rest of us. He have an attitude? Wouldn't you if you were trying to defend yourself?
