We need a suggestion box here.

This is simple, just something for some to suggest we get, or get rid of. Like for example; I see a few different people here who I would like to add some reps to, but I cant because I have already done so. Well this makes sense because you dont want people jacking reps up, however doesnt mean you dont like what the guy had to say in a few threads. If I could name a few people here I would like to rep its biggerthnu, pw, and wala. All of the past 3 I cant because I have to many times. Not that every post I think its worthy, but seems like they post alot of useful things. BTU-nutrition, PW-Training, wala-general info. Thats how I see it.

Exactly what I am saying. I agree with just about everything PW says, we have the same outlooks on training. I agree with what Wala says about 80% of the time. I think my biggest thing with people here is they overdo it. They take biceps and work them like theres no tommorow. I have tried to help steer some of the younger guys away from it.

But yes I would like to get something done about this rep thing. I know why PW is in the red, but I wont speak of it. It is silly, but thats just my humble opinion.

Well we do have a suggestion forum that we can post this kind of thing in. As for the reps there has to be a cap or else it would lose all credability with people repping over and over again. However, I do agree with you and I also can't rep those guys any more since I've repped them so many times. I just encourage everone to not get so caught up on the rep system. Pay attention to what the poster says rather then what color his rep bar is.

As for PW he will probably be in the red for a long time. He caught a vicious neg that even me repping him every chance possible won't dig him out of. We'll leave it at that though.

I really dont care one way or another about reps. i see alot of people here with alot of reps who give out some pretty crappy advice, so needless to say the reps isnt an issue. I just like the idea of having a suggestion box.

I know what you mean. Hell, I post tons of advice in the nutrition, fat loss, and exercise forum at bb.com and there's TONS of people with way higher reps then me who only post "o'rly" pics and hot chicks pics that have why highers reps.

I guess I'm confused then by what you mean by suggestion box? We have the "site suggestions" forum or do you mean something different?

Im not too worried about the rep system myself. I know already who gives out the best information and the best advice, so I dont really care where there reps are. funny point about bb.com, i go there more or less for a laugh once and a while than to get any info.

Malley

I agree about the reps, but the one thing about reps is if someone comes here new and sees what PW's reps looks like and they may not listen to what he has to say, even though his advice is normally on point.

I didnt see the site suggestion. That is what I mean.

trav1809

yeah, good call there.

Good idea. Thanks for the nice mention too, I like to think I give out good info for people, thats pretty much why i come on...

I think the rep system is a bit crazy, from what you guys have said, we can clearly see that it gives no clear indication as to what someone knows or whether they are helpful or not...

Thats not a prob for us as we know who to trust when it comes to info given, but the new guys won't know that... someone needs to think of a new 'real' rep system...

I think that you get more rep points from some people as you do from others (because of their amount of reps) so if 3 low rep people say thanks and rep me, i might get 3 rep point, where as someone else can give similar advice but be repped by high rep members and get alot more - but both cases merit the same amount if you get me...

we need a scale.

So that no single person looks drastically higher than everyone else! like we all say - cos PW is in the red, does that mean he's bad for the site when it comes to info, training etc? i think not

There needs to be a sort of '1 - 10' scale. so if your good, your a 9 or 10.. then all the best people are a 9 or 10, nothing higher... and new people can relate to this... furthr more, you could have a scale 'length' which would be ho long that person has been with the site (so saying that they are a 9 on the scale and they have been with us 'x' amount of time)

just an idea... would be more true then and we'd have a better system for the people who try hard on this site
