ooooh oh noes i told on him :eek:
i know for a fact alot of members have been abusing the PQ system. Problem is , they were giving out 5-10 reps per sitting for random shit , each time worth 20+ PQ points. This is the only reason some peopel here have advanced so quickly to above 1000points.
Anyway mods are talking about it as we speak , but feel free to discuss your thoughts here !
get rid of it.
no other forums have it
why should we.
cos we're so51ck?
There are a few other forums that use it, most vBulletin ones dont though form the looks of it.
Or just reinstate the 50 posts rule in the technical forums before a newcomer will become a member along with the associated priviledges.
^ no way, it's better to have spammed green squares than spammed tech posts!
^Agreed :)
lol i got my points over afew months
some others u can say got theirs over afew weeks
i abused, copped an infraction,
remove my points? remove the pq system? i dont mind either way
life goes on lads :)
:wave:
^^^^ LOL
shoudl say wen u clik on teh green boxes
dupac-> is a loser
all the big pq abusers are from syd, lol
errr u gave me rep for an intro thread :confused:Quote:

it has been discussed, and we've agreed that it'd make our job a lot harder.. we'll get numerous amount of pm's each day if we miss posts etc. etc.Quote:

Ok going to address what I can that ppl have brought up.
Firstly....ProECU......we'll listen to you when you have something constructive to say. That doesn't seem to be getting through to you.
Exactly. But the problem is for new members and that's one reason why the system is there. Otherwise we'd get rid of the visibility of the dots altogether.Quote:

Glad someone here at least has been around long enough to know the reasoning behind are actions. We don't just do things around here for the sake of it :)Quote:

But people like to abuse it....and that's the problem.Quote:

maybe only have a few people that can give them? people like ecu-man and those other guys that always post good stuff?
ps. hi win!! *waves*
hello Nikki la! :p
Nahh problem with having a few who can hand out points (like mods) is that people will call it biased.
lol i know wat u implemented the sytstem forQuote:

is it possible for certain members to have the pq system and others to not have it?
If this is possible, and you are going to continue with the system, may i be excluded.?
lol man
think practically
either we all have it, or we all dont have it
any hint as to whats going to happen at this stage?
why not just hide it?
seriously....so what if someone has 3 blocks as per say.
Say the 3 blocks were purely related to n00b forum.
Then someone asked something in Forced Induciton area. Who says that they know what they are on about ? Just because they got 3 blocks ? They might not know anything about FI at all.
^man u guys take this way too seriously
of course it wont work in every single situation
its just a helpful idicator to the nubs as to which forum members may have a brain and which do not have a brain
stop taking it so literally/seriously
and it has to stay to keep ppl from joining up simply to sell shit
ther would be no point in hiding it as then the nubs wont be able to gauge who has a brain and who is just talkinb shit
We should make it so everyone has 1 green block.
thats it. and when u hover over it u see how many points they actually got or something.

at least that solves our spamming PQ issue.
Could somebody tell me how many PQ points I have,I can't find it in my USER CP... Looking to sell some items.

Damn.I guess it's gonna be hard to get em' too....

u no wats stupid, u said peopl have bin abusing the PQ system... its obvious which people have been doing it, so y not just punish them? we only have like 10mods on this forum.. how are they gunna hand PQ points 2 evry1 deservent?
Just try posting in the FS section. If it lets you make a new thread, then you have enough PQ to sell. If you have zero points, it'll tell you that you can't post.Quote:

ive been away
^read up on it then! :p
why dont u remove all the PQ points from those who abused the system. then only allow people who only have a certain number of points to give out points? or would that just be going in circles and creating the same problem later down the track again?
That was the system that was in place and it still got abused.Quote:

Someone give me a PQ pointsZ
at leats leave us with ONE point so we can continue to be memebers and not get stuck with newcomer status that way we CANT give out points ANYWAY at least give us the right to sell
im pretty sure some of us were memebers even b4 the pq point system was introduced
not like we havnt earnt out memeber status in the past
not like we havnt contributed to this forum enough
not all our post are bogus
i see people selling on this forum...their post count is zero...how can this be? abuse?!!? lol
good one...the system has failed...again
hold on just checking someting
posts ? or do you mean pq ?Quote:

before that, it was a matter of time before you became a member, and 50 posts
Mate grab a tissue at the door. You and others who abused the rep point system have caused inconvenience to all other members on Ozhonda. Moderators have also spent hours and hours looking through the PQ points issued to work out who was involved in the ring of abuse.Quote:

Why not just name and shame all of those who were involved in abusing the system?
Members of Ozhonda should know that.
yeah, but grey-one was a member, before the PQ system was implemented, so wouldn't it still be at least somewhat fair, that grey-one got at least member status?Quote:

No - he/she is lucky they can still post. If they want to contribute to this site in the future they can earn their stripes - a measly 1 PQ point legitimately.Quote:

Its not such a biggie - who cares if you are a newcomer or member....your friends still know who you are :)
Anyway lets live and learn about this guys n girls ~ think hard before dishing out REP to anyone. Do they really deserve it ? Is their post / thread original and their own comment ( as opposed to a repeated answer like YES or NO)
okay, sure people have abused this system.
alot of people have.
i've seen some mods even do it.
meh it's a fact of life.
doesn't mean all of the posts were irrelevant, and useless.
meh, i can't remember how many dud ones i've recieved from random members here on the forum, take them away from me, don't really, care. lol.
as long as i get to retain member status, not really caring about points.
but, in my view, strip all the points away, but if they had member status before the PQ system came in, they should retain it.
to make it a tad fairer, because they did earn that member status in the first place before the PQ system was implemented and then abused.
i don't really join in discussions, but this is kinda gone out of hand aye.
