Just seems a little odd to me that theres members on here from 4 or 5 years ago, some mods even, with lower rep than some folk who have only been members a matter of months. Doesnt that seems a little dumb?
I know it doesnt really matter much, but it strikes me as a little odd is all. . . :confused02:
I'm a li'l tipsy and i love you all. I'm disappointed theres no hug emoticon
i think it has something to do with people repping new members. I think when a new member comes some people will give rep them saying welcome. Also some of the older member have been around long enough to get some neg rep as well which can have an impact but that is just a guess on my part.
As AF said, some new members get hit hard with pos rep early on and it boosts them up.
Rep is a lot stronger now than it was back then, because we've recently (like 5 months ago or something) updated the rep system to add many more ranks.
As such, higher repped people are repping lower members and they are getting way more of a push into green than older members ever had.

Rep has accumulated over the years on this forum. When I joined it took me literally 6-months to a year to gain a full green bar. Very, very few people had big rep power. Most people repped for 10-50 points, 100 if you were lucky.
Now one rep from one person can gain you anywhere from 10,000 to 2/3Million.
It's not about how many times you are repped anymore, it's about who you are repped by,
There is a huge debate in the mod section about it. Some are very anti hug and say an MMA forum should be all manly, wit beer, fire and thunder. Others are argueing your side with love and snuggles.
Yeah the rep system is a bit off but as someone who visits other forums there aint a damn thing you can do about it...I have like 20,000 rep points already and I've not even posted 100 times yet.
The rep system itself is just silly. Basically if someone diagrees with you they can negative rep you. Its already happened to me several times. I did not do anything inflamatory, just had a difference in opinion.
yeah my rep fluctuates ill be up quite a bit then ill have a difference of opinion then the majority and poof i am back to the bottom of the totem pole
I also got hit really really hard when the original mmaforum funny pictures thread disappeared and when i edited down the hot girl thread to show mostly pics my rep when from god like to being low like the meaningless members like KryOnicle
heck even alizio had more rep then me
all i can say is keep posting well and some of the big boys will take notice and then presto you will be back up
p.s. im on the side of hugs but i want it with a carebear icon
p.s.s. on a more serious note not sure where it is that we can add smilies it might be just a admin thing not sure. Im actually going to get the smilie thread in the staff section a boost and find out how to add more cause i would amp up the smilies like no other
