The point of the modship is a lot like the point of the competition in general, bringing someone to the forefront to participate on the board to a greater degree and to be a larger influence and an asset to the board. It's not about actually modding or having rep and lock powers. It's about proving that you can be a helpful, creative, dedicated content creator and rewarding you for it... In the hopes that you will continue creating content and being a positive influence on the boards.

The power is a small reward for the user who wins, not the end goal. The end goal is having someone become more prominent and trusted who will add beneficial things to the board.

Also a lot of these points are in general not just directed at you, Bryce. It's just that I actually read your posts in here, vs seeing "sperm game" in bright purple and backing back out of the thread

I get that. That's what I'm saying when DS says me being mod terrifies him...how? For what? It's not a power thing.

Anyone can create and run games if they want. Anyone can speak up and push their opinions on behalf of themselves or others.

Mod is essentially a title or a platform. So, if using my platform to speak out about things is really the biggest power I get, then I'll use it to make the most positivity I can.

That clears it up a bit. I found it odd this was just happening in my thread! :P

I get what you mean though. I get all of it. Just trying to figure out the best way to utilize the powers that come with modship.

RE: The rep history.

Just because the reputation is offered doesn't mean you have to ask to see it.

Also I dunno if you got the memo JJ, but Christian and I are a tag team. He steps in for me if I'm not around.

It's not really about not HAVING to see it, it's still divisive and destructive. It being optional doesn't help at all to cut back on the issues I'm talking about.

I got that memo yes which is why i wished him gl on your campaign.

Okay, our new stance is fuck reputation lists.

This was my idea not Bryce's, so crucify his intern not him.

Bryce and Edge getting a small taste of the rocky life of an FE staff member

I wouldn't immediately try to destroy the reputation system that is clearly used by the majority of the members of this site (or else it would be a nonissue) but I would support someone else who wanted to do it because good for them.

I like the rep system, it makes me feel good about myself because my score is high. I look down on people with lower scores and feel a sense of superiority.

If anything, it doesn't have to be removed altogether, maybe just don't allow people to lower it.

my rep was super negative at one point thanks to ONE person, who held a grudge from ONE game a while ago, who had made it their mission to smite me whenever they could.

My reputation is now as high as it is thanks mostly to ONE person (from what they've told me) who made it their mission to get me as high as possible. lol High as possible.

But anyway, the people who spend all their time smiting people are really the ones with the issue, when it comes right down to it.

I wasn't advocating for the removal, just the nixing of the idea I forced upon Bryce to let anyone that wanted to ask to see their rep history to be able to see it.

unless I got confused, I thought people were talking about removing the reputation system completely. :P

As you should, King!
