edits. its not worth fighting with teno. he will just drag me down.
Ok so I back stabbed people who were breaking the rules. I didn't do it to ass kiss, nor did I do it to get the attention of the mods or admins. I don't give a flying fck about being a mod anymore. Honestly I wouldn't want to be because every retard I saw I would warn then end up infracting and consequently being demodded and causing a problem for G-Mods and Admins.
It doesn't make a minimal difference,if it did then why would Versuvio implement the service?
What I understand is that as Narutobase gets more members,the site gets slower and slower so they need to upgrade their hosting plan to make it go faster.
They need what you call "Moolah".
All im saying is. There isnt a premium section for nothing. Special Advantages for a short period of time..... no harm no foul. There are clicks inside narutobase that im sure people know of...,. The Game Section Click, The "TOAD" click, The "Higher up Clicks, The Rebel Clicks , So they want to just enjoy themselves. if rep makes them happy why take it away...
Lmao
you say that like your cool bro.
Hate to tell you. but if you ever heard the quote.
Nobody likes a snitch. Nobody likes backstabbers. etc
You wasnt working for the website. but i can probably guarantee you,.
though you THOUGHT you was doing something good. You betrayed people trust. and i can guarantee you. no mod or admin will look up on that. AT ALL. So you gloat you backstabbed some people? want a cookie? lmao. you are a disgrace.
lol imo i don't like when people misuse the rep button but then again its not an issue, if they give you rep for the sake of giving you rep, you can't do much except just don't rep them back
tbh when i had my first like 4 of those "rep butter" i thought people misspelled my username lol now i know it wasn't a mistake xd
So what your saying is, just because you donated money you should be above NB rules. I am premium and I don't think that, nor do 1/2 of the other premium members.
Don't speak on behalf of any member but yourself sir. Not saying i agree with teno nor do i agree with you. Speak for yourself, not half the premium members, don't act like you know them all please, who are you to represent and speak on behalf of them? That'll be appreciated
Starting rep spreading events and calling for "rep spreading time" is basically asking for rep, since as we've seen one calls for butter time and others take part as well.
I never called for Butter time and I didn't complain about it because I was gathering screen shots
Thats nice to know but if you replied because you think I was talking about you then you should really have asked me personally, I have no reason to point out who I was talking about because there is no need to, towards this thread it is a similar situation to the cali - xanthe one..this could of been resolved by simply requesting a mod or whoever to see if they could sort the situation out, but instead a thread was made that is obviously going to be closed down soon enough because (in my honest opinion) is wasted time..But its been made so thats that..I know me replying is not helping the situation but I might as well get my point across to see if it solves matters
Do people really look at someone's rep bars and think "that person must be smart or respected or something"? I mean the green bars are cute but really...what does it do?
Starting rep spreading events and calling for "rep spreading time" is basically asking for rep, since as we've seen one calls for butter time and others take part as well.
On holidays I received rep stating "Merry Christmas" or "Happy New years" from many members. Anyway, that's beside the point, because simply stating "spreading rep" or "buttertime" is not asking for it lol. I'm not telling the member that they should do the same.
It matters, yes. Reputation is something that is suppose to give a legit idea of how reputable you are in the site, through your actions and your behavior towards other members and your contribution to it. Faking any stat is against the rules and leads to unfair behavior.
For example, I'm an RP mod, reputable member for 4 years, good behavior, etc etc. And yet, i have 4600 rep points (give or take) with about 200 points given through weird random reputation and not through my actions or posts. (yes, i found it weird that i was receiving random reputation from the premium spam thread when i was no long premium but i didn't associate it to an event or trend...now i understand). Now, i contribute to the site, i help the site, i work for the site. I earned those 4k rep points. So, its unfair to everyone that was once a staff member, helped the site, did good GFX, was a sensei, did a good fanfic, created a cool theory, etc. Its a disgraceful behavior that in itself diminishes the reputation system and its value. If reputation doesn't mean anything its because of such behavior.
I don't really think there is a way to stop this or control it since i doubt it is against the rules... the reasons for why you give out rep depends from one person to another...
What can they do? make you state the reason for the rep and if it's just for fun then the rep will be canceled? or the one who gave it will get an infraction... well people would find a way to get around that as well.
Rep Abuse: While it is normal to give reputation to people who help you or have done something you found interesting for the forum, repeatedly asking for people to rep you or participate in games like "rep me and I will rep you" are considered "cheating" and are not allowed.
If negative reputation will be used by inappropriate reasons / spammed and reported. Administrators will take action.
Lol, I've been gathering Info on this scheme for three days now and was waiting for Nexus to come online xD
I guess you beat me to it, anyhow here's all the proof i gathered:
Gorillaz was made to explain what butter rep is here:

Here he explains it on msn:

Here you have another member confirming that inserting the word butter in the rep comment basically means "rep me back":

Here you have one member's response to Majora calling for "butter time":

In these two pics you have a member giving "butter rep to unsuspecting peoples" which is a confession of his awareness that what he's doing is rep whoring and against the rules:

Here you have a member giving rep on a "butter rep event" which was set to the 13th of April:

Here are some other random screen shots of them using the code word "butter rep" which are took by a number of members:
If it is worthless, why go to such extents to get it? :| Your reasoning is flawed. If reputation doesn't mean squat you wouldn't try to get it through such means. You'd be indifferent to it. I don't see the value in oysters so i simply don't eat them. Same reasoning. You like and want reputation. Otherwise you wouldn't create a "system" to pass under the radar with such behavior.
Ummm
not going agenst nobody
but Rep is Rep
Friends Rep Friends
people rep random people
i dont know what rep butter is... O_O but ehh.. i doubt the mods will change that. they will probally just say "They can rep whoever they want"
No they can't. And yes we can change that quite easily. Rep is rep. It serves its purpose same as any other thing in the site. If abused or misused, then yes, action is taken.
Uh-oh, internet bully O_O go back to training your students.
I don't have an argument, and never did. "derphead"
I speak on the behalf of those that don't b!tch and whine about rep and how its being abused. If people want to rep each other just for the fun of it, who are you to stop them? Let them rep each other as much as they want.
Look at my quote and linking of the global rules. You are sure to understand it. If not, i suggest consulting a medic. Something might be wrong with your eyesight and/or perception skills.
You guys saying rep is for people who deserved it. and its mostly premium people who doing it. If they are premium they are paying for their service hence making some type of contribution to the site.
I dont care for rep. seeing how i only get -Rep from that Froggy Group on Nb. U_U and i Rep Senseis and Senpais with low rep seeing as they are training and deserve alot of rep. other then that. i rep my friends from time to time. not gonna lie
Premium member contribute to the site by donating to it. That gives you some additional perks as a reward but doesn't mean you can abuse the site. As said by Zise in the premium section, you can bend the rules as much as possible without getting infracted but if something is reported or if a behavior that serves no one but yourself, then action might be taken. This means that you are not above the rules nor that you can behave yourself differently than any other member on this site.
And for someone who doesn't mind reputation and is basically disliked throughout the site, you sure managed to raise it since you got premium. Wonder why it is? Perhaps the useful posts and good behavior... :|
Lol, Majora didn't call for butter time. I repped him and commented with "Butter!". That's the reason for his comment.
And regarding this matter, I'm not at all ashamed to say that I usually repped a lot of newbies, the members who welcomed them, and the members in the game section for helping me gain posts.
Sometimes, I'm not able to rep a member for who have significantly helped me gain posts or commented on a thread I made. I usually do so, but if I'm not able to rep them because I repped them not too long ago, I go around and "spread" rep, if not I usually forget. I either don't leave a comment at all or leave a simple "spreading rep".
"Butter" is spreading rep.
All in all, everyone have their own reasons for doing, I doubt if it's against any rules.
welp guys
g2g. Vision said i cant be here. sooo... i have to leave. U_U
but i will say this to sanzen For oh! btw -Reping me for... Making a thread and closing it. and saying why close the thread and not argue or something like that. (Abusing the rep system) people like you have no room to talk. Wes. Sure he can cause im sure he dont Neg rep ppl for no reason. YOU... NO.
+Reppn my friend is good enough reason... The Rep butter thing... Meh. I can honestly say they will or might get in trouble for it. Cause that kinda is a way to ask for rep back. Just a sly and sneaky way. Pretty neat though. All in all. Nobody cares about rep. ... or should. I can care less if i have 5 red rep bars. that dont REALLY determine who i am.
I honestly dont care if they are frogs, Toads, Lizards, Dinosaurs, or fckn Dragons.... If you look at my face. you will see how much i care... :|<----None
Also. The premium section have rules regular members cant do. not breaking the rules. but implying New rules to special people.
like caliburn said in that thread with Xanthe. in comparison. If i donated 100dollars to this site for premium. If i want to rep butter somebody and get it back. then hell, i should. why does it affect you what rep i get. How does rep help somebody become a better Rper. or a person? it dont
Oh the special people that are premiums. Yes, we all know of them. As for the the 100$ you donated to the site, its good to see it was from your kind hearted good will and not for some selfish reason like having the green light to break the rules. Again, if rep doesn't matter, why do you care so much? The more you say you don't care, the more it shows you do. Liar liar, pants on fire...
I've given Butter, I've recieved butter, click away at my neg rep button if u want to even it out/or feel i dont deserve rep..My life outside NB wont be affected
You must be registered for see images
......But it would be nice not to see 1 (Maybe 2, cant remember) hypocrite(s) in this thread saying that it should not happen, but never complained when they received or gave it out themselves until this thread was made..
You must be registered for see images
whether its fair or not is going to be up to the mods. reset my rep bar if needed, my basic (but appealing xd) request work will get me back to were I am.
I agree with both sides in there own ways...It may be annoying to some but at the same time others just dont care. Personally if you believe your own rep is validated by what ever means you recieved it, I see no reason why you should bother yourself with other peoples way of recieving it.
Lmao
you say that like your cool bro.

Interesting how you know all that and never reported it. *looks at your reputation bars* AAAhhh...i see....
Now, people, this matter can only be evaluated by the Admins. Reputation and reputation bound issues are their field. I'll be forwarding this, with my own reasoning, to the admins and you should expect their reply or at least their actions.
Lets not forget that reputation isn't to be abused. You use reputation to state your opinion and basically how you feel about a post a member did. Its not to be abused or misused. If you liked it you +rep that member, giving him a higher degree of respect (or so it should seem) towards others. Members with high reputation should be identified as members who contribute to the site and who's words bare more weight that others. Its a way of showing your status to the rest of the community. Its also intended to be an ACCURATE means of showing it. The same way, if you feel the post a person did was not useful or even remotely accurate, such as a trolling post in the middle of a good discussion, then you can -rep. Its the normal use of the reputation system.
Anything that is group reputation, alt abuse, -rep abuse, etc falls upon breaking of the rules. However, if its done like, once every 3 months or something that random and not frequent, then it doesn't matter than much. However, if its done in a frequent and blunt way, it needs to be dealt with. Its the same as multi posting or spamming. If you do it once, at best you get a warning. But if it falls under a pattern and you start doing it frequently, then it needs to be dealt with.
Now, lets wait to see what the admins will say about this.
