Question to everybody:

 

If all your points just disappeared one day' date=' would you truly care? No, you wouldn't.

 

If somebody gives you a neg rep, or spam rep, you'll complain about it.

 

So now, tell me which is more important to you.

Well points are basically like, the economy of YCM. Reps are here because it'll help you get noticed more, i guess.

Reps every time of the day, though.

Reps are more valueble. They actually NEED effort to get. Points? Post a few comments and you get 'em.

 

How did I get this rich then?

 

By having clubs, doing contests, participating in forum events, they all need effort...long term effort!

Thanks for clearing it up. Points don't really help me or make me happy. I hardly join contests that need entry fees anyway. (Exception of some that I feel are awesome.) While I took the whole of last year to get a meagre 10 reps.

Haha points are easy ta get, and having 400 is really all you need, what with low shops prices and the every now and then point fee in a contest. Positive Rep on the other hand are big and the most important. I mean really what are you going to do with 10000 points...

Points where originally made as a form of currency for YCM. Sadly' date=' that plan failed miserably.

 

Reps do matter. They have lost a lot of value due to rep spamming, and stupid reasons for +reps, however. Back in 07, early 08, all +reps actually meant something...

Quite true, until people started giving random reps for doing dumb stuff in GFX and all of a sudden GAK had like 250 reps and everyone else had 25.

The people who say that reps don't matter are the ones who don't complain though. Those who are under the misconception that reps really do matter will cry the goddamn Mississippi River if they get a single neg, because they don't realize that reps mean nothing.

 

Reps. I have over 100' date=' and in order to do so have cool techniques hidden inside my siggy.

Just btw, that thing where you offer reps for points can get you banned. If I recall correctly, that's what got Johanderson banned way back when, except I think he did it the other way around (he made like 80+ posts a day, so he had plenty of points to spare).

 

Points are a number. Reps are a green number.

See the difference?

Rep look better when you have 50 and you're only lvl4. Points' date=' no one gives a s***.

[/quote']

 

Yeah I noticed you were level 4. Then I noticed you had 51 reps. Then I had to take a dump, so I went to the bathroom.

 

tl;dr: I didn't give a sheet.

Lust' date=' your team REALLY needs to come up with something for points.

 

Like erm, an item shop? A gambler? Games section? Arcade?

[/quote']

 

Well, shops exist as a place where points are meant to be spent. But for some reason, there is a rule saying a max on points, not to mention people just do things for free now.

Games, however, sounds like something we might be able to do...

Reps are the most biased and useless thing on this site. Removing them would stop a lot of the 'Crime' (INVERTED COMMAS) on this site (scamming, dodgy contests etc.). As for Points, you get more and more as a reward for being active. If you spam for points, that can be dealt with.

 

Both are crap, but points are slightly less unjust.
