September 21 - Quality Posting Appreciation Day

[TheBigDog]

I hereby declare Sept 21st to be Quality Posting Appreciation Day. To participate take the time to give positive rep. It doesn't have to be a new post. It doesn't have to be a person's greatest post. It is an acknowledgement of appreciation of that person's total contribution to the Forums.

 

You can rep up to ten people in a day. Are there ten people you feel deserve a tip of the hat for the consistant quality of their contributions? Take some extra time today and let them know.

 

If you hit your limit of ten let us know it here!

I did my ten for today, and my list is still long. Sept 21 will continue until I am done!

I've tried to give rep to about 6 of the best (imho) posters, but it says that I have to spread the rep around first before I can give any more to these individuals. :hihi:

Everyday is QPAD for me. :hihi:

:lol:

:Guns: It worked! :doh: It worked! :hyper:

 

My enourmous ego is passified for another day. What gratuitous stunt will I be forced to pull off tomorrow to feed my growing need for validation? :wink: :smart:

 

I already know! Tomorrow is Put-Out Eve. The night before Put-Out Day. I have been waiting since I joined to announce Put-Out Day to Hypography. And here it is at last! (new thread pending)

Heh. Nothing wrong with that.

Besides... I still have 4 hours.

You know... I'm awfully close to 100 rep. :shrug:

[Jay-qu]

you know.. I cant rep you again till i rep another 8 or so people..

 

A lot of rep has been going around, and it seems that the game is no longer about the blue boxes, but now its about the number!

I've been wondering what the rules are for that. I've been trying to rep people all day... but its only worked for ron.

Only 'cause them damn blue boxes ain't moving!

[Jay-qu]

maybe there is something about them.. when you get to 10,000 rep they turn gold :shrug:

[TheBigDog]

The blue boxes are a feature that can be adjusted. The boxes and the phrase associated are driven by your actual rep points. The way it is set right now you get the maximum boxes at 2000 points. The feature is configurable, but to my knowledge has a limited number of catagories. Perhaps there is a hack that can be installed to provide more catagories and bring more game to the boxes.

We could also simply remove the boxes and put a number there instead...

With the current method of repping the numbers that we have are growing at an increasing rate. Is this an issue? What happens a year from now when there are a dozen people with rep over 500, and one tip of the hat from one of them give people 10 additional points to award? Commendation from 5 of them would give you 50 rep power, something that took half a year just 8 months ago. Should we regulate the amount of points awarded to prevent a geometric increase in the reps? I would suggest that you award the square root of your rep power, rather than you full rep power. This would help control the growth, if that is something we want to do.

 

In the mean time I am continuing to give it away. My list from yesterday is far from complete.
