VOTE #1: Referendum on Rep.

[Taco John]

This vote will last throughout the weekend, with the final vote taking place on Monday and ending Tuesday Night / Wed Morning at 12:00am PST.

Vote #1 is a simple question. Should we have a rep system or should it be abolished completely. The question here isn't whether you want the rep system in one way or another. It's a simple "Yes I want a rep system of some sort" or "No, just do away with the whole thing." And of course, the third choice "I abstain and will just go with the flow."

If the vote comes out "yes" then on Monday we'll vote on the various proposed systems. If the vote comes out "No" then we'll turn the whole thing off and it gets put away for good.

Please vote and leave any comment you care to on why you voted (or dont).

[Taco John]

I for one, voted yes. I like the comments and while it's been a headache ever since the upgrade, I don't wish to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

[chrisp]

I find the whole thing perplexing and confusing. I've seen some grade-A idiots with huuuuuge amounts of rep who seem to have gained it just by endlessly posting drivel and getting all their asinine buddies to vote for them. Personally, I set much more store by WHO's given me the rep than by how much I have.

I probably should have voted yes because I do like the feature, but puhr-lease, it really shouldn't be taken too seriously, hence I abstained....

[chrisp]

I'd also like to point out that the only time I've done any shameless repwhoring was when all my hard-earned rep went up in smoke - that was a traumatic time I must confess (plus everyone was at it or so it seemed!)

[No1BroncoFan]

See my post in that other rep poll thread.

You da boss TJ. However you want to handle it is fine by me.

[Rausch]

I for one, voted yes. I like the comments and while it's been a headache ever since the upgrade, I don't wish to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I like the way it is on CP.

If you want to "play nice" and use the rep system you can, and if you don't you still can get/give the comments it just doesn't impact you or the other person...

[Broncoman13]

I voted no and to just do away with the whole system. Mainly b/c it's caused a lot of problems over the past few years. You neg rep someone and end up with PM's... why did you do that, you don't have to like my opinion, you're an A-hole etc. I honestly have gotten to the point that I could care less if someone neg reps me or not. But, it used to bother me as well so I can see why some people take it so seriously.

I would've voted yes if I thought we could definitely get the mass public to vote for a rep system without bars or points...only comments. Don't know if everyone will go for that or not though so I say just dump the whole thing and find something else fun we can play with.

I really hope that if we do decide to keep the system it will end up as comments only. Too many of us on the Mane have "superstar" egos... We've started taking "rep" too seriously!

[BritBronco Maniac]

So if you want to do away with rep points, but keep the comments, which option should you vote for?

[baja]

I say yes It is a fun feature and has been enjoyed by many ever since it was introduced and for those who don't like the feature it is very eash to ignore.

I love to be able to make quick comments on the posts I enjoy. It would be a shame to lose the feature just because some abuse it or because it may not be accurate, who cares it's fun.

[Needa Pass Rush]

I for one, voted yes. I like the comments and while it's been a headache ever since the upgrade, I don't wish to throw the baby out with the bathwater.


I would think you have to keep it given how many people are addicted to it. It's good for business. When you get people clamouring for their rep dots that's good for the manes hit count..... or so it would seem.

Of course, deleting entire threads down in the "rep light district" where all the bad boys hang out works against you. :giggle:

[chanesaw]

I liked the rep system when it first came out, but some people take it way too seriously which makes it not as much fun. Plus the posts that get the most rep are smart-azz remarks that make people laugh, not insightful football posts, which means smart-azzes carry the most rep on what should be a football forum.

That said I voted just go with the flow, I don't care either way.

Before this recent change the top three reped posters were So Cal, Slap and Kaylor or Spider I would call that some pretty damn good football posters besides if you don't like the feature just don't go through the trouble of opening the rep pages, it's not like it interfears with anything.

I can't imagine anyone not enjoying a nice comment about a post they made.

I think alot of poeple that vote to abolish the feature just want to sound cool and do not want to admit they like the feature.

<b> I would say this issue falls into two catogaries, those that like it and those that hardly know it is even there. </b>

I enjoy your posts and am glad that you feel so strongly about me. I'm sorry I can't go out with you though, I'm married and really don't think my wife would appreciate it. Thanks for caring though. xoxoxo's Bman.

So why do we need rep again? If you have something to say about someone's post why not just quote that post???

[Broncoman13]

Is this how Bush got elected in round two?


By sitting on both sides of the fence??? ;D

Seriously, I like the rep system personally. You're right about that. I don't like the problems it's caused for other people. We should be talking about football and instead we're biatching about Rep and who has the bigger "schtick". Rep to me is nothing more than a ego building tool. Tell me that Alec doesn't have a larger ego b/c of his rep. Same can be said for a lot of us. The down side is that some of the folks that don't have the rep (and certainly deserve it) are suffering a bit and feeling inferior. Call it penis envy if you'd like, people take this rep thing way to seriously! If you all vote to keep it I say great, I just hope it doesn't somehow end up with a vote to keep it the same way it is now.

Bottom line, I'd much rather do away with it completely then see it continue the way it is now. It'll run more people off. The ONLY rep system I'd support is one that didn't have points or 1 point per poster...PERIOD!

Also I think B-Love hit the nail on the head a little while back. He spent hours upon hours writing and posting historical Broncos posts. People wouldn't rep him for that work (including myself), but they'll turn around and give me rep for calling Chef fan an idiot.

You do have some good football takes though.

No, but that post does speak volumes toward how much of a clue you have (or have not!) I've been around the whole time. If I cared enough about what you thought I'd post my reason for the name change. Do a quick search, I bet you can't find more than a week between posts from me.

As far as dating self confident women... you want a badge or a chest to pin it on? Talk about a little p-u-s-s-y that can't take a joke. Grow a sack Boob....errrr I mean Baja.

[Broncoman13]

Where the hell have you been? You think that is a joke?

[Rock Chalk]

So if you want to do away with rep points, but keep the comments, which option should you vote for?
Thats not on this poll. This poll is just about keeping it or not. The next poll, if we keep it, will be about which system we want to use.

Bush got elected in round two because liberals couldnt stomach their own candidate enough to vote for that twerp.

[Broncoman13]

I think I'm with Hogan on this one... Screw the whole rep thing. All it's done is piss people off. To the point that respectable posters are jumping ship. I don't blame this on TJ but he did create this monster! ;D

[Rock Chalk]

Tell me that Alec doesn't have a larger ego b/c of his rep. Same can be said for a lot of us.
My ego has trouble getting through the door and it has nothing to do with rep man. its just so god damn hard looking this good sometimes that you have no choice to have a huge ego. It really isn't my fault and I blame God entirely.

[Broncoman13]

I used to smoke it because I didn't like my life without mind altering substances.

I know the feeling, imagine how I feel. That damn good looking and hung like a true Texan. It's impossible not to have a Texas sized ego. The ego I don't get is Mock's. That's a real head scratcher for me. Not keep you up at night head scratcher, but a WTF does he know that I don't type of head scratcher!!!

[Broncoman13]

Slappy isnt going to jump ship. Everyone needs to calm down.

I'm not talking about Slap

[baja]

Sorry about the hijack I'm done

[ludo21]

Eh.... ill just go with the flow.

Im on the No side because it seems to have made people mad for whatever reason. And im partly yes because the comments are nice.

[Rock Chalk]

So is that why you smoke pot because you feel so damn good about yourself?
No I feel good about myself because I have a big schlong, know how to use it and my girlfriend cant get enough of it.

I smoke pot because it relaxes me after a stressful day at work.

[Broncoman13]

The comments are kewl, the whole thing is kewl..... except for people taking it so seriously and getting bent out of shape. It's becoming a distraction and if you haven't noticed there's a lot more "rep" talk than football talk and the last time I checked this was, first and foremost, a football forum!

[Broncoman13]

No I feel good about myself because I have a big schlong, know how to use it and my girlfriend cant get enough of it.

See, she told me that you hadn't figured out the how to use it part yet... that comes with time young Obi-1.

[Sideburn]

I voted to keep it. What can I say, I love the ****. Nothing like sitting down and reading the rep page for a good ole' fashioned stroking of the ego. I just request that we not reset it every year. That defeats the purpose of why alot of people enjoy the feature.

[orange 4 life]

count me in the "go with the flow" group.
i like the ability to leave a quick comment without having to send a pm, but i dont like the popularity contest aspect.
it has its upsides and downsides, so im okay either way.

this place is the greatest message board anywhere on the web regardless.

taco, you truly are "the man".

[DarkHorse30]

Let the repwhores get their neuro-STDs, who really cares?

[MajikMan7]

I voted yes because I know that's what Don would've wanted.




......and that is why Don Majkowski is my hero

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

Nice to have not a must have in my opinion.

Great to know when people agree or disagree, but if it detracts from the main reason, THE BRONCS, for the board, it is not necessary

[GreatBronco16]

I vote to keep it and try to find a way that for the rep system to work best for everyone. You can't make everyone happy, but if it truly bugs them that much that they don't want to post here because of it, then let them go somewhere else. My guess would be that they find their way back over here though.

[Ratboy]

Do away with it. I rather have VBookie, It was much was better. Although it would be cool to bet between users.

[Moon§hiner]

I was on the fence until I saw 12 pages devoted to bickering about rep...pull the plug, the sun will still come up for most of us tomorrow

[BroncoInferno]

One thing I don't care for is having to spread reputation around. If The Dave makes a couple of posts in a row that I think are rep worthy (as was just the case in the political forum), why shouldn't I be able to give him that rep?

I also think reps should count the same amount of points regardless of who is giving them. We have newbies simply introduce themselves and they have maxed out rep dots within two posts.

[Popps]

I find the whole thing perplexing and confusing. I've seen some grade-A idiots with huuuuuge amounts of rep who seem to have gained it just by endlessly posting drivel

You got that right.

Then you've got great posters like Wabbit with very little rep.

But, if having rep makes people happy, I'm all for keeping it. I'll sleep just fine either way.

:~ohyah!:

[Arkie]

Some newbies may choose not to post with low rep even though they may have the potential for long schlongs. Good takes are a terrible thing to waste.

[Rock Chalk]

I just want to keep the comment boxes man. Not enough for a PM but not important enough to post about, ya know?

[Popps]

I vote that we create 3 more threads about the rep system.

[Moon§hiner]

I second the motion Popps...your rep power of 3 and mine of 5 should carry the motion....lol...I thought I had seen enough inane stuff to argue about on the mane before but this is the mother of all inanities...what's next?...my avatar is cooler than his, dammit!!

not having a go at you here, tj. i believe you do your best to make this a better place for everyone and im grateful for that, so please dont get it wrong.

but, in my humble opinion at least, the whole bitching about rep started when you re-set the rep for the start of the new season without "warning". i might have missed something, but what was wrong with the old system? i obviously might have missed something, so if i did, sorry for the post.

i like the comments, but overall i think rep is being taken way too seriously.

Yes. The old system was broken. A newbie could come in after one week and max out his rep bar...

[Hogan11]

It doesn't matter to me really.....even if it is saved, my days of participating in the rep thing are long over....I pulled the plug on my own.

[Play2win]

What about REP without the rep, meaning you can still shoot off little comments about posts you like/dis-like but there is none of this STATUS thing. I don't really care that much (at all) about how much REP I have, But I like the INSTANT GRATIFICATION I get when somebody complements me on one of my posts.

–You know, the once every 3 months that that actually happens... ;D

[Willynowei]

All reps should be anonymous. This way if someone gives you positive rep, you wouldn't be inclined to give that person pos rep as well.

if they give you neg rep, you wouldnt be inclined to do the same.

This should be a must.

Otherwise, the rep system is fine.

[MajikMan7]

Yeah I totally agree with that. It's a pain in the ass having to spread rep around just so you can rep a worthy post.

but then you wouldn't know who the comment is from, the little comments that come with the reps are the best.

[Atlas]

I think people are way to concerned about it. Keep the rep part but have it be meaningless rep. That way people still get the comments but there aren't any "red bricks" involved.

Looking at this crisis from an socio-economic/neo-conservative angle we must examine what issues exist within the framework of the current system in place. Many factors will come into play that could possibly put the whole project at risk and quite frankly, this is something that neither side -outside of a select few - wants.

For most Americans the issues drives a divide even among their very household. One couple that I know of, AlecReanos and Rascal, are sharply divided on the issue and have filed for divorce over the matter. Yes, America, the issue is that serious.

Good, wholesome Americans are leaving the country over the issue, such as our friend Slap, who could no longer survive in this dog eat dog world with rep the way it is right now. We must change America, change for the better.

As your elected REPresentative, I will bring this issue to the forefront. I will fight hard for your God-given right to Rep. Good night and God Bless.

The Honorable GonzoLays

Man, Gonzo! You're goofing on something that is really serious! This post is NEG-REP-able! ;D

Kidding aside, I miss the feature that allowed you to see who the last 10 recipients of your rep were. I don't hear anyone else talking about that feature so perhaps I'm in the minority on that one. ???

[MajikMan7]

Hmmm, WWDD (What Would Don Do)?

Well Don Majkowksi never had the reputation of being the greatest quarterback to ever play in the NFL. But just because he didn't have the rep doesn't mean he wasn't the greatest. So Don thinks the rep is just a popularity contest. Hmmm interesting.

Since rep no longer matters, I fear no negative repercussions.

I like the REP, I think it is a good way to respond to someones comments or ideas, sometimes the poster isn't watching that thread anymore or maybe you haven't gotten to read it until later that week etc.. It was a good idea to shut down the rep whore threads, that whole thing reminded me of someone finding a way to cheat at a video game and trying to impress people by showing them the high score. REP should be for good ideas, good posts, good deeds done, birthdays. It's like rewarding children, after all we are all a strange family here anyway.

I. It's like rewarding children, after all we are all a strange family here anyway.

Is fred part of our stange family? afterall he works for the Broncos?:alky:

Since rep no longer matters, I fear no negative repercussions.

Majik, you are a F-ing idiot. Your moronic posts never cease to amaze me. Now go do what Rhyme says like a good little boy and drink your bleach...



Ha ha. Rep!

[listopencil]

I vote yes to poll one and suggest anonymous rep totals for poll two or three. No bars, no way of knowing how much rep someone has. You can only check your own rep in your user CP. I wouldn't mind keeping titles for rep ranges when you mouse-over a portion of the user info in a post. Maybe it could replace "user so and so's avatar". That little mouse-over info is worthless.

[Mtbrncofn]

I like the comment part, I could care less about the rep points/boxes part. Sometimes those comments can cheer you up, or piss you off.

[Meck77]

I think Taco should ban someone Russian Roulette style for the hell of it. Anyone on this rep thread is fair game. Bang! Your're gone! No rep, no neg rep, just a click of the mouse *poof* That would cause a little chaos.:)

[Mtbrncofn]

Brutal, Meck! Ha!

I thought we already had chaos? ??? :angel:

Well that's true. You saw it a couple weeks ago when we beat your Pats.;) Had to get that jab in. I'm still bitter over the Giants game.

You beat the JV squad. :P

You may see us again.....if for no other reason than that every other team in the AFC East is awful.

Sounds good. Slap down your personal whipping boys from Indy again and we'll meet you back here for the right to destroy the NFC's offering in XL.

[Kaylore]

Whatever.

Bruschi isn't going to help. Patriots going down in 2005!

[PatsWin2002]

Bite your tongue.

The worst part of our schedule is over - whether we lose to Indy next week or not.

The rest of the AFC East is bad, so we're practically a lock for the division.

So, with that said, I'll take my chances with Tom and Belichick in the playoffs. It will help a lot if Seymour and Dillon are there. Harrison is the biggest, permanent loss so far.

[orinjkrush]

soooooo, back to the rep whoring thread.

my .oooooooo2 cents.....its fun. yeah, so its biased. yeah, so people beat the system. yeah, so i lost a ton of dots in the changeover, so what? i think its interesting to watch people's reactions and it adds some fun to the board. keep the rep fires burning.

[TD30]

The problem with rep is it's absolutely meaningless, I mean I don't know how many times the entire process has been started over. Why worry about something that in 3 months will be gone completely. I enjoyed the messages and the fun you can have with repping. But to use it for any other purpose is silly. I lost interest in it about the third time I got set back to 0.

[Spider]

I havent read this thread , but hell keep rep , People will find somthing to b&#237;tch about , if you dump rep , they will find somthing else to b&#237;tch about .......

Uh just once.

I don't know about going back to zero but sometimes rep disappeared during the time warps. Maybe that's what is being referred to.

Ah, that's right. Lost a week's worth one time, and then a weekend's worth the other time. Forgot about those.

[Pezman]

Funny enough. That's what started the whole Repwhore thread in the first place since we needed a way to restore points lost during that two week thing... see the evil I created Nyah!

Bow to the Evil Repper!

[Natedogg]

I like the system, especially the comments. Sadly, it has inflamed the egos of some posters to sizes larger than those of a wwe wrestler.

[errand]

I find the whole thing perplexing and confusing. I've seen some grade-A idiots with huuuuuge amounts of rep who seem to have gained it just by endlessly posting drivel and getting all their asinine buddies to vote for them. Personally, I set much more store by WHO's given me the rep than by how much I have.

I probably should have voted yes because I do like the feature, but puhr-lease, it really shouldn't be taken too seriously, hence I abstained....

Exactly...

What is the criteria for being a poster with alot of rep....having 100 positive rep votes where it's 3 or 4 cronies repping every other post you make, or 100 positive reps from say 65 different posters?

[Alkazar]

Didn't see this in time to cast my vote but it would have been to keep a rep system. I'll keep an eye out for the next vote for which system.

Then ask TJ to change your name from BenDog to BenGay.

Works for me. :laugh:
