Reputation....

[Loz]

Is it my imagination, or has the reputation green and red option been withdrawn?

Funny cos I have been on my phone for a few days and meaning to vote some greens and reds on the hotel thread (which was fine as long it only ranted anti black racism but when the tide turned closer to home the content was found unpalatable.... ahem...) but now I am back on a PC I can't see either how many reps a person has, nor the box to make vote either way.

What happened?

[neverdie]

In a nutshell a certain member, who shall remain nameless, was jumping up and down carrying on like a real <snip> and eventually the mangement here tired of the situation and pulled the plug on it, in a search for some peace and quite.

ohh and the peace has been wonderful, just ask them

ps: Loz, now you have to resort to using ur intelligence and wit again to defute the &lt;deleted&gt;, rather than the easy option of hitting the red button. I suspect a man of your talents won't have a problem with this

JT complained do much about it that George pulled it.

Ha ha. I posted this at the same time as Mr. Neverdie.

Funnily enough I am using my phone as well so can't use emoticons. But I am laughing!!!

it just goes to show the old red tactics, can work

Enough of the gossip. I have been on the ropes here with the "management" for years now. Whatever decision they make, pro or con, regarding the rep feature is PURELY their decision. I did ask for the option for people to be able to disable the feature entirely at the user level so that you could turn it off for yourself IF you wanted that, but leave it open for those that like the brownie point game. Of course I am pleased the feature is gone, but that doesn't mean it won't come back. To repeat, I have no power over this, and I don't appreciate implications otherwise.

Thanks to the removal if this 'wonderful' feature, more braincells will be required to maintain a 'good standing' with others.

Loz, do you realise that this thread will be closed soon (hopefully)?

Then again, I could be using 'reverse psychology'.

Thanks for filling in the blanks, chaps.

I suspect that hotel thread in news clippings would have overloaded the system anyway!

Shame they buckled though. Its not like thailand has a great reputation for making progress in the style of a "Developing" country. One step forward and One step back is probably not the best message a national media institution wants to be promulgating.

Ps. Onnut, I am laughing with you, see?

and look, there's neverdie having a titter too!

[rgs2001uk]

Good to see you back Loz,

you don't need to be a weather man to see which way the wind is blowing.

Good riddance. For those who really miss this (SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!), maybe you can re-enroll in grade school, teacher may give you a gold star, you never know ...

[Moonrakers]

It's all JT's fault then!

[Jingthing]

I give up. If it please y'all, I'll be the fall guy. Next ...

its all good. I must point out that I had over 200 reputation points too, which is really something special. Im wondering when I will get my little badge, or a chest to pin it on?

calm down jingthing, i don't recall anyone mentioning your name (if you exclude post 3)

Okay, bend over

Yeah and I had 10,000 green points, yeah, that's the ticket. Referring to vaporized green points, a new high in PITIFUL.

[george]

At least we have the bloody points recorded on our profile pages for next generation to review.

[neverdie]

JT, You are calling me pitiful when I was only having a joke. Of course you couldnt possible be serious about that could you?

Anyway, with such nasty words, I won't let you play with my medal nor my chest, either

If the 'teacher' won't give one a star of one's desired colour, one can probably purchase 'stars', 'stamps' & other such ego enhancing paraphernalia at a newsagent.

I'm glad to see the 'brawn' factor is no longer being enhanced on this forum.

How many green points for a Chang beer at 7-11?

I'm not happy to see that the 'next generation' will be regarded as braindead as the current generation.

I thought about starting a thread demanding that the reds and greens be reinstated. It would be something new to whine about and therefore would probably get a lot of support.

The stupid thing about it is the REPUTATION SYSTEM already exists here at TV in a different format. I have two stars and anyone can award an extra star or detract from previous ones given by revoting on other members. Its almost exactly the same but different.

[elkangorito]

UG, I don't know whether you posted a link or an image in your post but when I clicked on the 'posted image' link, I got this result

[Ulysses G.]

Thanks. The image was there for a few minutes - at least on my screen.

None, Im a non drinker.

I gave you a quite a few green awards, for various posts you made during that 'era'.

Im not sorry seeing the system go but I am left wondering about what your next poll is going to be about?

Mr Never. It's nowhere near 'exactly the same' & therefore it is quite 'different'.

AGREED. Its almost exactly the same but different to the extent that its not similar.

If you say so Thaiquila...
