That was good...oh wait, you were serious, weren't you? Ah well... Anyway, I dunno what to think about this points system...it seems rather odd to me...but being able to change someone else's title might be funny...if done right...maybe change their avatar, too...usernames should not be changed & mod-for-a-day sounds iffy at best....stickeying things is ok, b/c mods can just go back and un-sticky them afterwards Edit: and I believe the correct answer to Havoc's Transformers Armada question was the MiniCONS...not bots....ah crap, I've set off the geek alarms again...

DashRendar Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Originally posted by Darth Homer ah crap, I've set off the geek alarms again... Don't worry they've stopped listening to you :-p I don't really care much about these. Although the weird thing is that Eets thought the same thing not too long ago... I like the Sticky idea, if you have a thread that tells people about something important, but doesn't have much reply potential you can use that. For example my "Music" thread. Man I need some points... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DashRendar Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 man if they tallied up all of the points I WOULD HAVE gotten I'd be rich! Ah, oh well dreaming gets you nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Homer Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 It's ok, Havoc...let's see how big of a geek you really are, name Soundwave's cassetes from the original Transformers series (5 of them) go to cartoon trivia thread (now resurrected!) to answer and just so I don't get accused of spamming...points are silly!!

Rogue Nine Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 I agree. This whole system will flood the place with semi-spam; posts and topics to add points to the user's total, but skimming the line between spam and not-spam. Ugh. If you ask me, this has just made moderating these forums harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mex Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Originally posted by Rogue Nine Ugh. If you ask me, this has just made moderating these forums harder. Which makes more opportunity for new moderators, which is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 I don't think so. Good moderators are hard to find amongst the rabble that is LucasForums. Right now, I can only think of a few people off the top of my head that would make good moderators and more than three of them would refuse the post.

Artoo Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 there's already been an increase on these boards, posts I have no care to read at all, they're just there to get points, I personally hate the system and don't want this points thing because GB ahs worked hard to establish itself is a place where even semi-spam isn't wanted, and the people who come here like it that way. This whole point thing destroys our fragile environment. I want to voluntarily not recieve any points for my posting because I think they are of the devil. Some people just aren't mature enough to handle this point thing without spamming to get more points. BAH! where can I officially register my complaint?

Tie Guy Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 I would agree with you, Niner, if this were any other board. In the swamp, it will definately happen at least a little, no doubt about it. But its already pretty bad there anyways. I mean, how many times have you seen mod-powers used here in the last several months? Maybe i'm just blind, but i can't remeber a single one besides stickfying things. I have noticed a few tacker-ons that i haven't noticed here before. To get more points, maybe? I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SE_Vader_536 Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 awwwww... bummer then if i got banned again all i would need to do is get 3000 creds and reserect myself on another name. (not that i would) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DashRendar Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Originally posted by Flanders Aristotle is taking that out, its too hazardous. Imagine if some noobie got hold of it, he would ban alot of people. Well for one a Newb would have to post quite a bit to get 3000 posts, and also Mods can only Ban SNs, not IP bans. Also-Mods control, normally, 1 Forum, Sub-Forum, or Forum Grouping (ie: Off-topic, Star Wars RPG, or Galactic Battlegrounds) But, yeah, even with the limitations placed upon Moderators, it is too dangerous.

Tie Guy Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Flanders, di you hear that from Aristotle, or is it just wishful thinking? I think it could work, if several limits were placed upon it. Like they couldn't delete anything, only edit. They couldn't ban, they couldn't move, they could see IPs, and so on.

Darth Homer Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 ok, anyone else notice that "Eddie Murphy" is the richest point-person, he registered today & has no posts, yet 312 points...I hope that's a test of the system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all around us, I've seen a huge revival in nearly pointless posts in this board double posting, even downright spam like that post. It's all cause of this point thing. And just how am I supposed to ignore it? It's all around me, I can't ignore other peoples posts! They're what I read.

Tie Guy Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Feeling jealous, Homer? Its not possible to get credits without posting, i don't think. It must be a test. But then why not just give him a ton of credits? "Hmmmm....dangerous and disturbing this puzzle is." Honestly, i wouldn't worry about it. If your thinking he'll become a mod and screw up the entire system, he still has a very long way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
