wat are the negative points really ? is it something that they point out regarding the system itself or is it negative whining because they get zapped ? 90% comes from those who got zapped ... wat does that tell u ? and u relook again at those people who complained in the beginning , those who get zapped and complained ... wat is their stand now and wat have they understand abt the system ? especially if they've been added back to a healthy positive zone ... i relook at their postings and one thing i have noticed, they've changed their posting styles ... the points are worthless, really worthless, u can't change them for anything but all of us like to be on the positive side if possible, no one wants to be the odd one, the negative one and it is this aspect that we feel will improve the forum. Let's look at another angle, do u still see all those big big red coloured fonts like this to flame ? u dun't cos the members also know that u do this, u run the risk of being zapped very quickly ... does the system worked ? well i think so ... the moment everyone can't be bothered abt the system is when it doesn't worked and shd be scrapped .. but as of now when people do care abt their drop of points, or when they're happy when their points go up, its proof the system works ...

I see your point, John. Thanks for explaining. True, nowadays we seldom see flaming or nuisance posts as compared to before. In this aspect, the rep system would have served its purpose well. ![]() But the system may still need to be improved on as there're still some shortcomings. Its never my intention to propose to scrap the system, rather its to improve it. Anyway, I'm just doing my part as a member of the forum, giving some suggestions. Ultimately, it'll be you all, the Mods to decide. Give it some thoughts, I'm sure you can find ways to make it better. ![]() Regards. |

As for your analogy of the government, first we're not a public elected team. The members don't pay to join us. We do all the work, the technical aspects, we create the activities, we fund the site, so we run it like a private entity would run their organisation. In a company, if a staff don't perform or is forever contravening company regulations, what will the company do ? Issue them a warning letter ? There have been a few members who deduct me due to their disagreement with me ... that's fine ... but if you deduct due to policy or guideline matters, then you are deemed to be supporting the flouting of these guidelines and I will deduct your reps. Why I zap is 10 points ? Will it make a pinch to warn against an offence if it is 1 point ? the very 1 point that can be easily recovered ? no is the answer and the flouting will jolly well repeat itself. Sorry for saying this, ur analogy on the policeman is a little warped. The police or the state belongs to the citizens. The minister is elected. U can vote him out at the next election. But AF is privately owned. U cannot appoint me or you cannot appoint a moderator. You can only choose to come or go. You have to weigh the overall picture. Is this a site that you feel you can be here with enough freedom and make friends ? Or you feel restricted and claustrophobic due to our policies ? There are quite a few aquatic sites locally, many started after us and many are also members here. I will encourage you to register as a member and do those postings the same way those guys who flout AF guidelines does. See what happens then ... weigh and see if you would rather have someone deduct your reps as a warning first ...

I've further tweaked the system in reaction to members chasing after the rep power and building multiple nicks as a war chest on rep points.
1. The number of post counts tat determines an additional rep power of 1 will be taken away. Now regardless if u have 20,000 or more, there'll be no difference, so stop chasing the post counts with meaningless postings. 2. Your given rep will remain at 10 as a buffer for any infringements of our guidelines if u do not read. However, rep power will now be activated only when u have a minimum of 20 rep points, which means you have to earn ur keeps by posting constructively and making friends. This will hopefully deter those who register multiple nicks as their rep points war chest. We dun want these phantom members. The first post will be edited accordingly.

Those with high rep accumulated one maybe aggrieve but those with negative rep pts one will felt very relieve.. I dont see why make those who were good suffer a cut back and those who post irresponsibly and with neg point one be put at the same bench again. |

![]() but anyway, i dun see the need to reset the system...juz leave it as it is...too many "tweaks", especially the reset of the system, simply defeat the purpose of having this system in the first place. Once the system is up n ruuning, n only a minority is unhappy, as per most systems in this world, the system goes on....no pt make the starting of this rep system a mockery when it has been running pretty smoothly for a few mths juz because you need to satisfy complaints/suggestions from minority. Juz my 2 cents worth. |
