ckcsaber Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 I joined LucasForums to talk to other ppl about all sorts of stuff, NOT to be in some stupid power strugle that is going to have newbs spamming everywhere, and idiots making some idotic thread "stick" to the top of the page. Lets get rid of this crap idea, and if I may quote BlackDove "Burn it with a lot of gasoline".
C'jais Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 CKC, the beauty of it is that you don't have to be in this power struggle. You're free to ignore these credits and continue posting relevant stuff. No one's going to hurt you. For the rest of us, it's a cool idea to spice things up a little bit.
Kstar__2 Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 we already saw what happend, uncle tad tried to spam his way up a couple of hours ago
ckcsaber Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 Ok. If everyone want's this, fine. But at least take off the Mod for a day and Sticky Thread.
C'jais Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 Originally posted by kstar__2 we already saw what happend, uncle tad tried to spam his way up a couple of hours ago Uncle Ted tried to generally annoy people. If spamming was his goal, he could have done a much better job. And I doubt he knew anything about the credit system.
Wes Marrakesh Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 Originally posted by BlackDove The whole idea is giving me the heebie jeebies, I say just burn it with a lot of gasoline...... *nods in solemn agreement* All it will do is promote spamming and trolling, and unncecessary competition. I also see many opportunities for abuse. Not knowing how the system works this might not be doable, but.. Someone gets himself mod for a day, bans a whole bunch of people (including other mods) and sets himself up as mod. I doubt that could happen but other things will....
Aristotle Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 We've already decided mod for a day is being eliminated in favor of things such as being able to upload attachments to sigs, your own avs to the server.. etc..etc. More generic useful things... We're not going to allow someone to become a mod. It was in the default, but we're going to remove it. This should NOT promote spam, as they can lose points if they spam. Most points are received when someone posts an interesting topic.. and that author gets points for the interest it generates such as replies, views, etc... Stopping points for spam is as simple as it gets.. you just ignore the post and the person gets pretty much nothing for putting up a meaningless post. The system can work if done right.
obi Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 So, who is this Eddie Murphy character? (I'm Not spamming, he is the "richest" person on lucasforums at the moment, with no posts :\ )
Rogue Nine Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 Personally I think this whole system will make moderating these boards all the more difficult for us mods.

(I'm Not spamming, he is the "richest" person on lucasforums at the moment, with no posts :\ ) How is it possible that he is the richest and he has 0 posts? Is he an admin or something?
Loki GM Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 some one please tell me WTF is this all about
Jo Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 dude, if you go to the store, the richest person is, Eddie Murphy, he has 315 with no posts and he signed up today... edit....oppsy sry...didnt read above...forgive me now..but i still wonder why he has 315 with no posts.
Skate Boy Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 I'm poor. I still don't understand what you can "buy".
Mex Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 I have seen him post, but it didnt go onto his post count... Hey would an admin/moderator pm him and ask him whats going on please?
Jo Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 ive come to the long and hard conclusion that if anyone does not want to handle their points any longer...i, even though i dont absolutely want to, will graciously let you donate your points to me so you can be rid of them.... i know im an
Pedantic Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 They should take away the mod-for-a-day and sticky and maybe add something like a somewhat longer custom title or larger avatar. Maybe?
Jo Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 i like that idea alot...because what if some kid like tyrion got control....we would all be banned by the end of the day......j/k ty...but seriously, if your gonna stay with it...make the price outragously high so there is hardly any chance anyone can get it.... ^ dont forget my offer above.. edit, wow. someone is definaltely getting donations, check out the store...
Mex Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 Riffage has 1900 points! ADMIN MOD SORT THIS GUY OUT
obi Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 I think it is just a glitch in the point system. Nothing to distress over.
Jo Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 i was reading some of his posts and he is almost against the store, he is even a mod from what i gathered...i may be wrong though
Mex Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 I went into the store after I logged on and then I saw Riffage with 500 points... I started to think "How the heck" then I refreshed and it was 600, then 700, then 800, etc etc etc....
Tyrion Posted December 31, 2002 Author Posted December 31, 2002 Originally posted by Masterjo2588 i like that idea alot...because what if some kid like tyrion got control....we would all be banned by the end of the day......j/k ty... *checks Masterjo2588 on his revenge list* Man,my list is growing so big lately... Anyways,good thing we are gonna get attachment's in sigs. Did I give you the idea,or was it another one in your head?
Jo Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 *checks tyrion on his watch out for possible killer list* i like the attackment in sigs idea too...i cant wait to buy that as my prize...that dude has 3000 right now...this sucks. but dont forget what i said, and to remind all read my sig.. v v v:D
Toonces Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 The guys are on it, it's some sort of exploit. He's been reset to zero now and an investigation has begun.
