Rep power

The economics of CycloneFanatic. Interesting topic.

Ah, the rep debate. It had been a while.

I personally think it's fine - the point of the system is just to give recognition to people when you like something they have to say. I think it's also a nice way to welcome people or show your appreciation - I give out a TON of rep on any given day because I think it's a nice way to recognize someone. I haven't given out negative rep in about a year and a half.

I personally think the system is fine - it is what it is, a random numeric value on an anonymous internet message board. (I partially say this because I remember the karma debacle of last fall.)

I think it should be some sort of continuum from one to five. If someone says something stupid, they get hammered down to 1, but only need 4 pos reps to get back up to the "good" side of the continuum.

Continuum labels could be:

1=Lamebrain
2=WTF?
3=Meh.
4=Neato
5=You Rock!

Just kidding, but you get the point.

Well, to make it fair to the lower & middle classes the highest 15% of credit holders should have to pay out a large precentage of their transfered rep/credits to us lower income folks.

Credit wagering is a disease man, its not my fault!

I vote for a rep flat tax. The repless should take individual responsibility for their replessness. Give a man some cycredits, feed his habit for a day, teach a man how to earn cycredits, feed him for a lifetime.

I would say I know how to fish, I just caught my Blue Marlin. :notworthy::smile:

My "formula" would involve rep and post count.

As in, people with a higher rep per post count would receive more credit benefits than those with a lower rep per post count.

I have a ton of rep, yet have a ton of posts as well - so my ratio would surely be lower than some.

I'm not gonna lie, I'd be in favor of this idea... :yes:

Antidisestablishmentarianism

I just wanted to use that in a post, and this seems to be the closest I will ever get to having be "on topic" okay... maybe not.

It's all about the brother, keepin' The Man down....

Or something like that.

I've got mine, hooah!!!

 

[cycopath25]

Can I convert mine into Schrute Bucks? Anyone know the conversion rate?

 

[cycopath25]

Dwight: Very good. You have earned one Schrute buck.
Stanley: I don't want it.
Dwight: Then you have been deducted 50 Schrute bucks.
Stanley: Make it a hundred.
Dwight: Wh...don't you wanna earn Schrute bucks?
Stanley: No. In fact, I'll give you a billion Stanley nickels if you never talk to me again.
Dwight: What's the ratio of Stanley nickels to Schrute bucks?
Stanley: The same as the ratio of unicorns to leprechauns

I'm really looking forward to the spin-off.
