Why do sponsers have such high reputation effects

[Relapse]

Why is this still going? Elite already addressed the issue.

Maybe it's being thought of.

I somewhat agree with you Carbon. It's like saying members can buy their power on RG while others have to earn it with their goodwill and right-doing. It's not right and can potentially demotivate great members.

It's reputation, not banning people? We paid good money for it too.

Sure you paid good money for it. But that money should only get you so far.

We can give +4/-4 in rep... And for $25/31m (was that it idr) we SHOULD be able to do that. Tbh, I think you guys are just mad because you can't afford it or don't want to pay it. As soon as you do, you'll agree.

And, Elite already said this won't be changed.

1. Just because you donated this money to RG doesn't make you any richer. I'm sure there are many members around you that could have just as easily purchased that sponsorship title but the fact of the matter is that not everyone spends their money in the same manner. Everyone has different priorities.

2. I, personally, am not mad. And I've donated far more to other forums than what you're donated to this one so I can objectively say that my opinion has not and will not change. Buying a right on a forum is just not OK in my book. This forum is only as good as it's user-base and if everyone buys their social standing on it, it won't be worth shit.

I'll use a great example. Most of the members on RG are predecessors from HF. When RG was starting out small, we already had a greater proportion of upgraded users than HF ever had when they had started out. Take a look at the user classes for RG. There's SO MANY upgraded users with relation to the total users its ridiculous.

3. And finally, if The Elite said 'this won't be changed', as you explained, this thread would be locked by now. The fact that it isn't only stands to reason that there is still something to consider and therefore it's till an option.

 

[Reaper_mybb_import12521]

Then this thread needs locked.

 

[Sorrow_mybb_import14290]

I disagree, you shell out 25$ for Sponsor, you should get something more than a flashy userbar.

i don't know about you but i upgrade to help with donations, not for userbars and rep.

EDIT: @reaper, your point is completely invalid since you didn't even pay for your own sponsership.

 

[Crayo_mybb_import588]

So much controversy over some post_bit numbers. Tut tut tut.

That's not up for you to decide. I've seen TE leave feedback and suggestion threads open long enough for him to come around and change his mind.

An example; he locked mine and denied it: http://runegear.net/Thread-DENIED-Thread-Rating-Anonymity#, but shortly after, he implemented the feature because he realized it was indeed a necessity.

That also has a lot to do with the fact that Elite is 1/3 the price for just l33t on HF.

I made a thread that got him to change his mind I guess he added it like 2 days after I made the thread

Exactly. You're only making this easier for me. On HF, when you upgrade to l33t, your reputation potential is -/+ 1, if I remember correctly. Now, tell me how at 1/3 the price, why is it that you're entitled to more reputation power if you're paying less for it? You see my logic?

 

[Sorrow_mybb_import14290]

l33t is -0 +1 they cannot give negs, but solidify point is valid, the reputation is a bit to high for the rank.

Im elite and i personally feel i have to much power.

im not against you lol I was just pointing that out as an objective observer, and l33ts can't negative on HF, and I guess all I have to say to that is this is RG not HF Things are run different, apparently TE thinks differently of rep than Omni does.

By all means, each owner can run their site as they so please but the reason I thought the need to mention the comparison was because a great portion of RG's members are from HF so there's a good chance they'll think that way about it too.

Runegear =/= Hackforums


So negatives are allowed. I think our rep power is fine.

 

[Solidify]

I think our rep power is fine.

Clearly it's not when it takes staff to make this topic.

 

[ChecKeD]

i personally believe that the negative rep should be removed, causes much less hate

Just because one staff member doesn't agree with it surely doesn't mean its not fine.

In that case might as well remove all rep.
