deanb Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Some of you may be used to things on different boards, or just not have a clue how to do certain things. Just pipe up here and either the mod team, or any helpful members should be able to help with a query. If we get any common question I'll toss up a FAQ.

Yarfunkle Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Haven't seen one, but is there a rep function on the boards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 There was. But seeing as it was so quickly abused on the last one we took it down. If we were to know folks weren't going to abuse it and such we might bring it back, but tbh that seems unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 How was it abused on the other one? Just out of curiosity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Well within a couple days you had folks with very low rep for no other reason than folks just wanted to give them low rep. Playing about with the system a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sindo Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 What's the reason for the low avatar size limit? The one on the old TAY is 1MB. Does it have to do with bandwidth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masonvrocks Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Not really need help but what's with this Slime, Robot Unicorn etc. stuff? Are we all stuck as lowly slimes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronixal Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 It's a play on the standard posting ranks, it would seem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Can we have all caps posts in the angry dome? Sometimes lowercase just doesn't suffice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLjaG Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I assumed that meant a.) no stupid all caps posts (ala Chewie) and/or b.) no caps/angry yelling at other posters. I wrote a sentence in caps during my iPod/iTunes rant, and I don't think it's too out of place. At least I hope not. I'll amend it otherwise.

brida Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 so what ARE the new features also...i've yet to see a place where rep system works as intended what does that even mean anyway all you have to do, and i would think this is possible cos it is in some free forums, is limit how much rep a person can give in a day. easy.

drag Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 the problem with rep is when people seem to care about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c hoertjes Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Yea, who cares about rep, it's a freaking message board. Not like it goes on your resume or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLjaG Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I personally dislike rep systems, because they foster sheep like behavior where you either agree with the masses or get down ranked/voted as opposed to promoting good and intelligent posting habits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLjaG Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Does this forum have NSFW and/or Spoiler tags? I know the only board that allows NSFW content doesn't need to have that content hidden, but hiding stuff behind a filter is still fun.

Baguette Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I'd like a bigger av limit. It's how I compensate for something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLjaG Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I'd like to say I just get downranked for spamming pejoratives all the time or some such. However, on GT, N4G, or any other game site with a rep system, if you're comment isn't, "GAME IS GONNA B AWSUM! THUMBS UP IF U AGREE!" or "omg look at dis trash!" you're going to get downranked.

iLjaG Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I know it was unpopular when topics got spammed in a lot, but is there any way we can get the alert message that pops up when someone else posts before you? I actually really enjoyed that (except in topics with heavy traffic). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c hoertjes Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Please, for the love of God, don't listen to Kanji. No other forum has had that, and it was the most annoying thing in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixa Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 it was kind of annoying, yeah. but I think sometimes it could be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLjaG Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Well, when people were having actual discussions and not just spamming trying to snipe a double 0 page in LIM or some such, it was nice to see that someone had replied to the subject before your own post goes through. I found it to be a really nice feature. It was only annoying when a thread was getting spammed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
