No more green dits. Say hello to our mentors

The flaws of the rep system were certainly not killing as much fun as this thread does.

There was a negative rep button. I got 1 that I know of. All I did was suggest that the guy who tattooed the stars on the girl's face should have his fingers broken.

... one by one.

Yeah and I got one cause someone thought I had neg repped him earlier (which I didn't).
So what? Has cost me three thanks and life went on.
Thats not a flaw thats what you have to take when there is such a system installed.
Same with a huge load of reps that come up when the system is in discussion.
It goes away.

I was referring to a -1 button that would act as the +1 button Philadelph was talking about. I was under the assumption that that +1 would go at the bottom of posts (like the thanks).

I was just joking around because I think it's almost unbelievable that this thread is still being debated. I did like the +1 button idea though lol.

VB does have what's known as a "groan" button, just like the thanks.

**Ben325e** · 07-10-2009, 02:40 AM

I dig the +1 idea, too.

As far as the green dits/ mentor system goes, I was/am fine either way.

There has always been a system in place, however. If you look at the user stats - BAM! - there's your system.

If it's alright, I'll take the liberty to use JimmyHAD as an example:

Join Date: Feb 2008
Posts: 4,428
Thanks: 586
Thanked 1,071 Times in 869 Posts

4428 ÷ 1071 = 4.14 Okay, so every four posts, he gets a thanks. He must be saying what people are liking.....

I spend too much time just reading the forum. Can't even imagine how much time the mods spend regulating/administering etc. Big thanks to all those involved.

can't we all just get along despite our differences? ☺/☻ ♂/♀

I don't think anyone with a join date less than three and a half years ago should be a candidate for a mentor badge.

What about an experience date over 15 years? will that be okay with you?
