legacyme3 : personally I wouldn't put it past you at all... If anything I'd find it rather amusing... 

Though I do guess if you made another re-reg and made it a mod again you'd probably have to brag about it at some point

Wow. This thread needs more life!

Anyone affected by that snowstorm that hit the NE US yesterday? I've seen a few pictures and it was pretty bad.

hahaha, I'm not trying to spam but I could if you want me to.

I'll just go set up shop in the crazy house and post there for an hour.


I've seen pictures of the storm and it looks pretty crazy. There are pictures of peoples from doors where the snow comes 3/4 of the way up the door.

And all the power loss too. I wonder how many people were prepared for it?

earthwarrior :

For the most part, no. I like them even less now that theres almost no way to remove undeserving members.

pacman1755 :

I saw but don't care. Odds are people will see his thread and mine. People generally only want post count +1 so they'll post in one or both.

geeogree :

Depends what you mean by prepared.

Most people round here have generators and are prepared for power loss.

Most people aren't prepared for a foot+ of snow.

fair enough.

as for the trusted members "not deserving" their spot.... just because 4 or 5 members with high trust point amounts don't like a trusted member doesn't mean they should have the power to remove that person from trusted status. It should require more of a "majority" to do that than a few people who can rate really high/low.

I do kind of wish that all the trusted members got reset to being not trusted and had to work their way back up to it but David isn't that mean.

geeogree :

I agree. It shouldn't be largely up to a staff that doesnt seem to care who is trusted and who isnt.

Taking out the ability for members to take away points was probably the worst change possible.

I dont even give TP anymore. The term trusted has been horribly devalued.

well.... if the system had been reset then I would have had no problem with the changes at all but the fact that all trusted members remained sort of solidified their spots.

although, even as it stands I think the changes have reduced abuse of the system. I think the ability for the trusted membership itself to be able to take someone from +8 points to -50 in a single day is insane. It's not fair to that person. More often than not those people give up on the board and leave because a few of the established members didn't like them.

geeogree :

In a way isnt that representative of life? If we treat trusted like the cool kids club, all it takes is a couple people calling a person uncool to completely destroy their reputation as a cool kid.

That makes sense in reality.

I'd like to see it become similar to the old system, but with a very important penalty.

If you give someone a trusted point, you lose a trusted point.

There would be no taking. Only a limited amount of people would be trusted, but it wpuld be the most deserving generally with a few stragglers. It would encourage you to not waste your TP. Since you cant lose trusted once you get it unless you give away too much, there would be a consistent amount of members.

You can complain about the trusted system all you want, but you have to remember that this is the best solution for the time being.
However, I completely agree <.<  >.>.  What really prompted this was abuse *cough cough ranking up a member for the team TDV cough cough*, and there is no way to counter the abuse that happens by uprating, and the abuse by downrating usually wasn't abuse.

it's not supposed to be a "cool kids club". That's not the point of the system.

However, I do agree with the other change. I think anyone who is a trusted member should lose a point if they give one out.

And then the elites through to David can give (or take back) 1-6 points without penalty.

I agree that the system as it is could be improved but it's better than it was for point abuses.

geeogree :

Well I didnt mean literally as a cool kids club, I just used that tetm for lack of a better one. My point was that while a few people could downrate someone into oblivion, most of the time it was in good meaning. Down to -50 is a bit much, when kust down to 0 would have been fair.

I'm not sure if it's better though.

"Abuse" is down, but a lot of the time it wasnt really abusive. There were a few notable cases, but those could have been avoided if there were punishments for actual abuse.

Who would determine abuse? An arbirtator.

Both sides would state the story, and a result would come of it.

But unfortunately, all my ideas revolve around people actually wanting to try amd make things fair.

legacyme3 : Which of course leads to the question of what is considered "fair?" Me being a bit sadistic towards other peoples' stupid choices, I thought it was fair that others would "suffer" when Austin96 got off scot-free after being flamed so much in his trial thread. People wanted an idiot gone, yet they only brought out their own idiocy.

Off Topic #3, dear Hephaestus. We do seem to go through these, don't we?

I dunno what the previous posts are talking about, so I can't weigh in on them, but I can leave you with this.

"The silk from his reserve spilled out and wrapped around his legs, and he ain't gonna jump no more!"

Also, the Magical Mystery Tour is waiting to take you away. Beware.

If that's not off topic, I don't know what is.

Vizzed.com is very expensive to keep alive! The Ads pay for the servers.

Vizzed has 3 TB worth of games and 1 TB worth of music.  This site is free to use but the ads barely pay for the monthly server fees.  If too many more people use ad block, the site cannot survive.

We prioritize the community over the site profits.  This is why we avoid using annoying (but high paying) ads like most other sites which include popups, obnoxious sounds and animations, malware, and other forms of intrusiveness.  We'll do our part to never resort to these types of ads, please do your part by helping support this site by adding Vizzed.com to your ad blocking whitelist.
