Nice. This is just the typical sort of shit that shows up whenever enough time has passed to allow him to give me another neg.

You'll notice how a couple of other people are suddenly posting in the thread, making it pretty obvious who else is involved in the constant negging. I receive negs from both of them on a regular basis, and several others, always accompanied by their typically friendly messages.

Such a nice community. But I guess I've just offended them by being a 'gay abo phaggot'.

I recall you being banned for doing the same very thing in the past

Just because there are one or two users chucking a tantrum because they're handle the shit they stir.

The rep system is a good indication of which users are giving more accurate information, as opposed to some which aren't.

It is a not so good indicator. Alot of people have high reps but all they do is copy and paste essays or links and then there best mates give them max rep, then there is another thread with the same person asking "what fuel filter" or "will these wheels work" etc. True knowledge is not credited with the system

I think it's a poor indication more often than not. People are rep'd by their friends for no good reason and by people who don't like them unfairly.

I think a 'like' system similar to Facebook would be more ideal. Gives people an opportunity to support a good/accurate post as opposed to a good member/friend/person they don't like.

Sorry mate, but sometimes said essays or links are on topic and relate to the original question. Sometimes it's better to quote a chunk of information or 'essay' rather than interpret and summarise it yourself to give to the OP, which could potentially mislead or be interpreted incorrectly. So it'd be safer to either link or quote the source directly.

I get rep sometimes for asking genuine questions that others would also like to know the answer to. I may not have answers but if you have the right questions a lot of useful info can follow suit.

Keep the rep/PQ system. It's only an indicator, not a 100% clear-cut way of determining if someone's posts are reliable and should be relied upon or not. It's just there as a tool to help people decide whether information is reliable or not.

Hahahaha yeah it's a great indication of people giving good information

You've got all those rep points giving valuable information and you've been a member since April

Can your reps be validated by your posts?

no that would stupid...

look at your green blocks.. you have provided excellent info... when you post on a thread about a situtation people will tend to look at your post then others as they see you know what your talking about then others... i believe let it stay

Just an idea to float, thanks for your feedback.

I have provided the best info I can in the most polite manner for as long as I remember. Probably a reason why I was asked to be a moderator.

However I realised there were people probably making an effort to give me positive rep for my good posts. It's not against the rules as the rep was always given for the right reasons but I noticed people trying to keep giving me rep as often as they could.

Say what u will about the rep point system, but the trade rating system we have is awesome. Ive been burned on other forums, but the OH ebay style trade rating system helps weed out the dodgy kents.

IMO the rep point system has some benefits. Ive seen some shocking advice from idiots recommending people to heat up their rear trailing arms with a heat gun in order to remove bushes, or compressing springs with a trolley jack. Now that type of crap should be negged.

Wow.

No system is perfect. There will always be people that abuse the system. It's generally a good indicator of who knows their stuff.

The system does more good than harm.

People need a bit of cement and to just move on.

People who are continually being harassed and abused should bring it to the attention of a moderator.

But wouldn't it be a nice world if people could get a long and sort out their own differences?

Try and make peace.

i was just having a read about the PQ system on the first page and it looks like wyn will need to update his post as it is outdated.

Guise stalp

I always see valid information from all people who have full rep points, they do troll and muck around, but in the same threads they all have given proper information in their first posts.

It's funny how people who are complaining are all buttering themselves and telling each other it's okay lol

i asked the fuel filter one.
ppl have different areas of expertise mate, you even reffered me the wrong filter "it does the same job" might as well put filter paper in a coke can and shove the lines in.

Stop posting useless crap in here, this isnt the spam thread

It's an accurate indication? Sure thing.

More like, a certain group of users sit in a particular thread, talking about what fast food they're eating at any given moment, and constantly giving each other rep every 24 hours to boost themselves above everybody else. As if it isn't completely obvious. The little green squares are obviously very important.

But anyway, I'm not interested in the reputation bar, just the little personal messages that come along with them. I'll just continue to transcribe them here, in a nice, visible place.

lmzooo
war did I miss

When I first signed up to OzHonda I had no intentions of selling anything on here then at one point I thought I'd contribute to the community before actually going ahead and using its trading facilities.

I have made plenty of DIY's in the past and have offered support via PM to a lot of people more than I can remember.

All it took for me to look the other way was one power hungry phaggot mod which made me remove the DIY's I worked hard for (It's time consuming documenting everything and trying to get it done at the same time. Especially my biggest DIY which was on how to respray a car at home).

Anyway - The point I'm trying to get to is that the system (just like any other) will always have flaws in it. Before it used to be so hard to get a rep point and my first rep point was from the legend himself (ECU-MAN) which made me an instant member.

The people that abuse it (I sometimes abuse it too, but at the end of the day, I rep anything/anyone that deserves it 99% of the time) aren't really all that bad.. If you look into the history of the spam crew even before all the new usernames popped up that are actually all oldschoolers, you will realise that a lot of the advice they give wether it be for the lols or just written in a way where people would find it offensive, it doesn't necessarily mean that they're abusing the system.

A lot of the shit advice I've seen usually come from newcomers just to slide a rep point here and there and they're usually the ones flinging shit at people most of the time.

Spam thread is like 4chan (Oh God.. No where near, but an ozhonda version). Sometimes you just shouldn't go in there.

Shit like this:
"People here say "****** abo" on a regular basis. The constant use of this and other racist and homophobic slurs makes OzHonda one of the most openly prejudiced forums I've ever visited." is honestly retarded. What are you going to do ? Police the internet ? Get a grip dude and come to terms with your life.. Not everything is about ozhonda and if shit that people say get to you, especially from people that you've NEVER met, than you need to sort yourself out.



ffs m8 inb4essay - most of this probably doesn't make sense

power hungary phaggot mod

* then

Yeah. People are racist, homophobic bigots, but nah, I just need to sort myself out. You know... Fix my behaviour! That'll definitely help the situation.

But hey, I guess you're right. People shouldn't have to take the rest of the community into consideration when posting these things. There's no reason anybody should change their behaviour to make the lives of others more pleasant, all these 'phaggots' and '****en abos' should just suck it up.


"What are you going to do ? Police the internet ?" There are people who police online communities; they're called moderators. And if they can spend their time policing what they deem to be spam or abuse of the PQ system, they can sure as hell police racial and homophobic abuse as well. Hm, that certainly did take a lot of thought to comprehend, didn't it?

Is "abo" a racist term?

its abbreviation of aborigine like aussie of australian

You do realise that moderators don't get paid for what they do, right ? If you don't like what you see than you should probably try migrating to a new forum or just ignoring what you don't like. It's the internet... Get used to it.

I can sense your tone as sarcasm in your first paragraph, however, it makes NO sense at all. People are racist yes, homophobic bigots yes.. What the hell is it to you ? People are also black, white and yellow. Fixing your behaviour WILL fix the situation because it means that people won't have to put up with your whinging.

I'm guessing you're a homosexual aboriginal ?

If I Google "why don't Aliens like humans ? And why do they always try to invade our planet ?" and results come up with explanations, does that mean I should be angry at Aliens wanting to invade our planet ?

You need to stop and listen to yourself, you're on a public forum that's free for ANYONE to join and say whatever they want. OzHonda is quite a tame community compared to others that I've been on. If you say something about an arab/muslim on any sort of western forum, it will eventually be linked with terrorism without a doubt.

It just seems you need to grow some balls and take things with a grain of salt and understand that there are no direct attacks at anyone in particular (there are a lot of homosexuals and aboriginals, even if it's used in a derogatory manner, this is something you need to get over and just 'know better' rather than getting edgy about it).

Personal attacks get dealt with pretty quickly, anything more than that like I said, should be taken with a grain of salt. We don't live in a ****ing poppy plant world with petty problems like this having to take up as much resource as it already has, so why start now ?

Just get over it.

I'd go with the htc. i have a htc. I dropped it this morning and the case broke, instead of the phone. lol

I think I proved my point, you have no factual information to back your claims nor to contribute to anything you claim, thus you are inaccurate, misinformed and in-factual. (Also following that hilarious wikipedia post.)

Stop stirring the pot, you clearly have a personal vendetta at hand and its just embarrassing watching you post.

Guys, this isnt the vent thread!!! Keep this thread strictly about the PQ system. I cbf to keep dishing out infractions so please stay on topic so baby jesus doesnt cry

I apologise if this has already been covered.. but I really don't want to go reading and searching through 103 pages to find an answer.

I have 11 "green blocks" now and since I hit 11 they do not increase anymore. My understanding is that every 100-200 points it would increase by one block, I've gained at least 400 since I reached 11 and it has not increased.

This is not the first time the rep point system has stopped working for me either.

If this has already been answered just link me to the page, sorry if it's seems like I'm being lazy.

cheers.

I believe 11 is the max amount of blocks that you can have, from here on your rep points will go up and you will be able to give more points to another member depending on the amount of points you already have

You've reached maximum knowledge mang, 11 blocks is max.

shiiieeetttt triplw hit

Ahh wow, that makes sense.

Thanks dudes :)

guys this forum is reserved for PQ related posts only thanks

I have a lot of unwarranted pq.
both positive and negative.

Can the appropriate moderator please investigate.
