Under the point system rules, it takes two smiley emojis to earn one rep point for canadians. It's a currency thing. So my brothers and sisters to the north, you'll have to try a little harder to earn respect. Life sucks sometimes.

My mother was born in Canada, a short drive across the Bridge of Peace. I think we all want peace in the world, and should strive toward that goal hand I hand, but points is points and I got ta get payeeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wondered if* the point system being implemented had anything to do with the BBMB migrants... ….at least I wasn't illegal...…….just sayin'...………….

Chef Jim Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 1 hour ago, SlimShady'sSpaceForce said: At one time SDS had to limit the Rep Point system to 10 per day because It was being abused. 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 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RochesterRob Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 1 hour ago, SlimShady'sSpaceForce said: This is kind of funny. all it proves is that the posters in the PPP love anything pro R and mock anything Liberal and had out Reps like Candy ... 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? 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. 5 minutes ago, Chef Jim said: Ok I have to ask.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I didn't post I don't think until late that year after nearly a year of lurking. I don't think my first post in PPP was until 2003 or 2004. going on 19 years for me, but I think I was on before that, wasn't the platform changed in Sept 2001?

ziltoid Posted August 25, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
