The following members have the power to issue infractions:

That guy no 1. He gave me an infraction for being "rude". WTF!!! Since when did being "rude" ever became a problem in here.

Did you know?

There is an infraction for being Rude and it's 2 Points.

 

[talkincock]

If I read you correctly. Now, the rule has changed, those who have accumulated over 500 rep points won't be able to infract others, only the above?

Or, they have acquired some new powers even their rep points has fallen below 500?

Goal is now 700 points.

 

[Glaringly]

Goal is now 700 points.

Yes, I realised only the goal post has moved after I saw Sam's reply before my question.

wah se,...this is like what...accumulating Krisflyer points?

 

[krafty]

you can claim your mileage from sam, the bugger!:p

Guess a lot of members can now breathe a sigh of relief.

 

[Raiders]

I suggest moving the goalposts to 1000 points

This shifting of goalposts will only solve the problem temporary. It will not take long to accumulate another 200 points for those who already surpassed the magical 500. My best friend accumulated 36 points in just one morning. He was on 530 last night and now he is on 566. I think by Sat afternoon, I can prepare to go for 24 hours holiday

How about when people are rude to you bro?

Rude to me is OK if they don't like what I post. Because this is freedom speech. But not to my family/friend because they not related and they not posting anything. That way I always tell others if they don't like each others no need to attack the family/friends.

I just can't place it....but you sure remind me of Tin Pei Ling.......................

You are dealing "hakka mathematics" again. When he had put himself 300+ points away, you want me to shoot an eagle soaring at 10,000 ft with a catapult? You created the monster, now go find an antidote!

I can create monsters but I can also get rid of them.

I don't want the infraction system being used as a weapon of war. It's supposed to be there so that responsible members of the community can issue warnings and ban rouge members in my absence so that some deranged poster can be stopped from messing up the whole forum.

The problem is how to define "responsible members of the community". I started off by setting the bar at 400 rep points. I then had to increase it to 500. However, that didn't stop tonychat, sifu, cooleo etc from arbitrarily banning members whenever they felt like it. As a result, I often had to go into the admin panel and release members who had ended up banned as a result of a running battle. Some days it resembled a war zone similar to what we've been seeing in the UK recently

I have now set the bar to 700 and I'm going to keep an eye on who adds and subtracts rep points so I can detect any manipulation of the system and spot the clones in the process.

I've said this over and over again.. no system is foolproof. However, it's better than nothing.

A penalty of 2 points for being rude is an acceptable way of showing ones displeasure. It's an encouragement to be less rude. It doesn't result in a ban. You need to accumulate 10 rep points before you end up being banned for 24 hours.

I have a better idea. Scrap reputation points. Create 5 to 10 infraction entitlements (COI) and let the forumers bid for it with real money payable via Paypal. Like COE, they are valid for a period of time, say 1 month after which the COI (Certificate of Infraction) is up for bidding again.

Whether it is pay as you bid or all pay lowest bid is up to you.

That way, only people who have any substance will hold the COI. Those who can't afford it have no reason to infract others anyway.

I don't have to tell you what the upside is

I can create monsters but I can also get rid of them.

Please don't link me to her. I don't like her act cute.
This is freedom forum. Poster write something sure there will be group of people like it and dislike. Is good to change ideas and debate in proper manner in gentlemen way.
Loser no need to F@#K. If they can debate/exchange view in good manner they should come out with better point even lose some group will like it and dislike it. Still she/he will getting respect from both side for gentlemen manner either win or lose.

I don't want to collect money from anyone. It would be impossible to run the forum objectively and as fairly as possible. It will end up with a situation similar to what developed in Delphi were Delphi PLUS [paying] members had more influence over Walt Howe (delphi boss) than those with free memberships.

But beauty of my proposal is that this is all "reset" at the beginning of each month. And you don't even have to get involved, the infraction system will sort things out. Just set the rules and sit back and watch the fun.

You can even donate the money to your favourite charity.

 

[middaydog]

This kind of standard he also consider "rude". U say leh?
