Bro Sam,
Like your clarification on something, I been using the same nick for about three years. I have been sharing this nick with my uni roommate for about year, when I move away I told him to get his own nick. I just found out that he register the same password. Nothing went wrong, so neither bother change the password. For reason unknown to me I had my power taken away. Please my CP I have not zapped anyone. If I was a clone my function is to zapped people. I have never done that.
If was the password, one of us could change it.
Thank you for your kind responds.

Cheers.

check your user cp, your account was probably used to zap someone with vulgar language without leaving names. That is the most common reason the points would suddenly reverse.

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

Should be "Thanks for your ADVICE dude." and "(in terms of ADVICE).".

"Advise" is a verb.

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

You are responsible for the security of your account. You did a stupid thing by sharing an account and not keeping your password secure. You have to live with the consequences.

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

Boss,
Just a question, I have been guilty of sharing my computer with friends over coffee viewing FL and WL on the SBF.
Friends have asked me to register them as they are not tech savvy.... without intending to be a clones..... I thought that is just helping friends. There will many reason to be zapped, but please reconsider the individual reasons....I know I might speak for a few bros here, we do introduce friends to the forum, which increase the interest in the community.
Just my humble comments.

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

You are at liberty to introduce as many friends as you want. The more the merrier.

However, blaming your friends when abuse of your account is detected is not a valid excuse.

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

Bro Sam,
I am not blaming my friends and just saying that when I have friends that is not tech savvy asked for my help, I do register on their behalf, never meant to be a clone. as far as abuse, that is up the owners of the forums to decide. As forums users we look at how fair the forum implements their rules.
I'm sure feel soar as I am not a clone, as I stated clearly that my nick was zapped to negative and I have decided to change a new nick and have used it ever since. I never upping a samster here is a violation.
Thank you for taking the time to reply to my concerns.

My humble two cents.

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

Hi boss, I understand you mentioned that for those who zap without leaving any nick will be dealt with.

I had been zapped by unknown nick and without any reason too. Kindly investigate.

THANK YOU BOSS.

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

just take it and carry on.
even with negative pts,i can still contribute and post.

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

Reputation votes are secret. There is no requirement to leave a nick or a reason for zapping.

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

there is no such rule.
where did u hear that from???
only those who zap with vulgarities and without
leaving their nick will be dealt with..

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

Hi Bro

I just wanted to check on the following.

I was advised by a fellow samster that once you reach 35 points, a samster's power will "kick-in". Now that I have reached 39 reputation points, I noticed that my power is still "0". Is there any particular reason bro, or so am I required to do something first before attaining the power?

Would be obliged if you could advise accordingly if I have missed anything. Many thanks

Kind Regards
Rasta Marley

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

this one i know.u have not make enough post yet.till day only 7. continue posting, your power will come in...

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

Hi Bro Waiwaiz

Thanks for your quick response.

Noted; actually i have more posts than the 7 indicated. Quite a few of my posts "disappeared" when Rachel's threads were taken off from SBF. Wonder if these posts count as it's not right to exclude those when someone chooses to remove their threads totally. I have also received reputation points from Rachel.

Thanks for your note; much appreciated Bro.

Kind Regards
Rasta Marley

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

Hi Boss,

Wanted to check on something that happened recently,

After a recent posting, Bro Rasta Marley tried to up my points but was unable to due to his power being zero. Nothing wrong with this but for the fact that he had already reached 39 points at the time. The up was not reflected in my points but his remarks were listed in my user cp. (Grey dot)

He has since received his power and is able to up anyone accordingly. I had up his points recently for a well written FR. When he tried to up me again for a well written report he was unable to, he was told that he had already up my points. We have only 2 days to get an up from fellow Bros and can only up the same person again after a 1000 other ups.

With such restrictions don you think he should be able to up me since his first up was unsuccessful, in terms of actual points, in the first place..

I know it seems too much to ask, but I try to get it(points) where ever I can.. Not all our posts are read and those who like the posts just don't up us as often as we would like them to.. Here I have a Bro who likes my posts but is unable to up me, (actually he has, but an empty one).

It does feel good to be appreciated and that should be enough, but the points are a motivator. Never heard this happen before so I thought I'll bring it up..

Sorry to have troubled you..

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

He had 39 points but he didn't have enough posts.

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

boss, probably need to change rule #1...

in order to have rep power(s), one must have more than 35 rep points & must have at least 10 posts. :)

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

Thanks for the reply Boss, I read the thread and found that out but the fact that he could not up me again is the question at hand.

That first attempt should not count as there were no points gained. He should have been allowed to up my points after he got his power. Actually, he did have enough posts but they had been removed because the thread he posted them on had been removed.

Why can't the new attempt to up my points be counted? This is the question, based on the above facts.

Thanks once again.


Vanram

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

Anyone who reaches 35 points with less than 10 posts is automatically added to the suspected "clone" list as there is usually some sort of hanky panky going on.

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

Members should not fire their guns if all they have is blanks. He wasted a shot. :p You certainly sound desperate for points. What's going on?

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

Hi Boss,

Thanks for the reply.

I knew this question would pop up eventually...

Nothing much going on, just trying to see if I can accumulate points, thats all.. Tried to see if my postings really got noticed and so far they do, got carried away in the process, not desperate.. Then this incident happened and felt cheated.. so started to ask and see if it's possible to get what I missed out on..

I think it's a fad for now and will diminish eventually.. But it feels good when people you don't even know give good comments or up your points for your written work/help. On second thought it might last for awhile..,

Thanks for your help.

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

now i understand y u dun mention the latter in rule #1. ;)

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

Hi Boss,

Did you by any chance up my points? Someone up my points but did not leave a nick.. I know there are other bros with 10 power points but you are the only one I was writing to regarding the points..

If it was you, I would like to thank you so very much and also for hearing me out..

Even if it wasn't you, thanks for the answers..

Cheers

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

Ok my points to justify.

The first post abt the gal. The gal was originally intro by me under 19 Yr old Taiwanese. U can check. She cheated me of $100 cash an came out to wrk by herself. Hence I dwn her.

The second post abt the fake contact. I was really given a fake contact. Hence I dwn him.

I dun anyhow dwn pple.
For your kind consideration.

Thanks boss.

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

Boss if u feel my action is inappropriate. I apologize.

Anyway thanks.

Re: Reputation system update - 12 March 2010
 

You can fuck and zap whoever you want for whatever reason you choose. It's a free world.

HOWEVER....

1) You used vulgarities without leaving your nick in the first instance.

2) You then used vulgarities and pretended to be "The lord".

It is clearly spelt out in the very first post of this thread that this sort of behaviour results in moderation being imposed. :p

PS: You don't need to apologise to me. I'm not the target of your profanities or the victim of your impersonation. I'm just here to maintain law and order.:D
