Expand Under the point system rules, it takes two smiley emojis to earn one rep point for canadians. It's a currency thing.

Someone mistakenly took a post count as Rep points and reported abuse to Scott. I know of 3 or 4 people that had 50 to 100 points removed. As time went on he removed the limitations and now its a free for all. Had he kept limits it would force the posters to choose wisely rather that as I said hand them out like candy on Halloween Expand Ok I have to ask. Do any of you even look at or care about post counts or scores? What is this? High school? 1 2

Rep Points count both Good, Meh and Bad. So tell us ... Is a laugh a GOOD or BAD indicator? Are they laughing because the agree or laughing to mock? Should someone mocked for 9 of 10 posts really show a green (good) average? Expand No. The posters hand out points on TSW like candy. Have something negative to say about a player or coach after a bad game and you will rack them up in short order. Setting a limit for 24 hours after a game might cut down on the free wheeling points bonanza and get posters to really think about things. I don't like the idea of having negative points as it invites posters to play "gotcha" with people they dislike. On 8/19/2020 at 12:53 PM, Chef Jim said: Ok I have to ask.

Had he kept limits it would force the posters to choose wisely rather that as I said hand them out like candy on Halloween Expand If I remember right, the system was put in mainly to cut back on “I agree” or “that was funny” or “you’re not making any sense” posts that people would have to make just to get their message across. For that, the reaction option works great. The board isn’t nearly so jammed up anymore because of it. If people found an alternative way to use the feature for their entertainment, then that’s the way it goes. For the original intent, it it working fine, IMO. 1

ziltoid Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 I enjoy this immensely. Kind of like how I was all in on marble racing this past April. I lost some serious dough at the OTM. I did better with the matchbox car racing. Oh, simpler times. 1
