dubs Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 25 minutes ago, RochesterRob said: Not too concerned on the rep points system. Have something witty and insightful to say on TSW just after somebody starts a thread and you will usually gain 15-20 points. Also, I think responding to people like Tiberius works against a poster. I prefer to deal with him just to make a greater point for those who care to read it. You never know what naive person is out there and lurks versus posts that may need to be set straight on quite a number of issues. So if I really am hung up over rep points and percentages I could game the system and substantially boost those factors. I also know how to game the online Monopoly game to win over 3/4's of the time. I learned a long time ago freshman year in college that such programs are biased by the programmer's own biases. yeah, I mean I just thought it was a funny little distraction from all the serious talk and fighting back and forth. I usually don’t see the point because I rarely go on ppp from my computer, usually phone. I saw the numbers and just popped into my head, the idea of points to posts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numark3 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Ha, I like this idea. Though anyone who posts a lot of tweets, articles, and memes is going to be skewered towards positive results. And unsurprisingly, the results are going to favor towards the people with the majority political opinion. I still like this though Edited August 17, 2020 by Crayola64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeviF Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Skews against long-time poasters due to rep points being added three or four years ago.

Included myself in the sample. There are two huge outliers in this data set, @Buffalo_Gal is the clear champion on one end. I just grabbed a bunch of the posters from a recent thread.

I think people go to war and bring a bit back with them, which is just too much for others, sometimes. That said, he said things that needed to be said, but was not said. What set him off in the end? I can only imagine how crazy he'd be about the Epstein situation. ^^I believe there is a lot of wisdom to it^^ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
