don`t forget there is a red flag option on the forum when spammers get carried away with things.
i s`pose all that anybody has to do is click the flag to bring attention to threads that aren`t necessary or inappropriate. and hopefully one of the mod squad shiuld close it.
this should makes everybodys life easier.
Josean is correct. I'm also aware of 31Gabe and keep a close eye on him. I understand people are agitated, but he's not done anything egregious to my knowledge; on the contrary, I find users like 31Gabe are not so much trouble themselves, but rather the response from other people. If he's troubling you, please just ignore him and help moderators by flagging threads.
I've been working on this reputation thing and it really should do the trick. The plan is to provide multiple tiers of privileges - good users gain privileges, while others may lose privileges, based on actions and community feedback. (No more pandering for moderator status, now you can actually earn it...)My hope is to tie this reputation in with other site parts as well - where the Miis and Blast Works are concerned... stay tuned.
Something egregious done by Gabe? He had posted Hentai (Anime porn) pictures of this Harpy person on the first birthday thread he made which I closed. Gabe is obviously here to stir up trouble. But, I agree that what makes him worse is the response he gets from the users.

Jose, I'd suggest - that unless you can do something definitive to stop people making multiple accounts - then you'll have to implement a system where new members are given absolutely no power to vote on things like 'reputation'.
We all know examples of members who have created 'extra' identities in order to 'down-vote' miis and rig polls and competitions. I imagine these same people could play havoc with the reputation system - not to mention what they might do to 'up-vote' themselves into a position of power - such as that of a Moderator.
^ Agreed. The whole idea of a contest is to win by getting the most votes from other members. Anyone could win using multiple accounts, and therefore there is no satisfaction in winning at all.
voting people into modship? Hopefully that it is not a instant reaction, the person should should be scanned with a finely tooth comb to see if there is nothing wrong.
Love your reputation idea, Jose. And I also like the voting-for--mod thing, but you also have to consider what Celery is saying.
I also noticed you were able to anull the down-votes Dylan gave when he troll-attacked. Have you devised a system to anull the rest of down-votes? Hopefully this would work on the Reputation thing, too.
But I'd rather be an Err0r magnet to see what's going on. I signed up here to request to upload Angela Anaconda as a Mii.I will also become as a superhero to save the day! I am a forum superhero occupied as an Err0r magnet! What ever happened to Angela Anaconda?

If enough people click on "the red flag" the thread is erased.
