    That's not a bad idea, how about also adding that the entrant also needs to be somewhat active on the forum ie a certain number of posts per month... something like that...

    As long as it is a reasonable amount and not something which is hard to achieve for some people like 100 posts in a month or more

    If everything is just to be swept under the carpet without giving others the ability to clear things up, even if it's for not for themselves ( as in this case as I've pointed out I can very well understand why the confusion as explained can happen ) we might as well just stop right here and alt+F4.

    There is no harm as far as I can see as we've had quite a few good ideas and now you just want to come in here and limp on about ag just shut the fuck up. seriously.

    The idea put forward by some here and rustpuppet that an entry amount is needed that does not mean you have to spam everything to death might actually work really good. It be great if this can be tossed around more.

    At no point were we just bitching and moaning (from where I joined in); go hop onto mybroadband and look at the bemoanage about custom avatars.

    Well in theory the amount of locked threads on this forum should have declined in the last few months since I rarely ever post on here anymore

    After reading this thread about half an hour ago and having nothing to add... I find myself chilling while humming...
    "We can dance
    We can dance
    We're doing it more and more
    We can dance
    We can dance
    Everybody look at your hands"

    :P aaah... sigh...

    I don't think that post deserved negative rep. Especially when its negative rep with "nice post ++" attached to it... what is that? two positives making a negative? That is mathematically incorrect...

    How does the rep system work anyway? I had 17, I get one negative rep and now I'm on 10.. Sometimes I get 1 positive rep and it gives me 2 or something. Can anyone tell me whats going on there?

    Also, perhaps we could have a sort of self regulating competition system. Where people post, but spammers get negative rep from the community and people with negative rep at the end of the comp, will not be considered. Kind of ironic that I suggest this when I myself have just recieved -7 rep, but it could work (potentially).

    Sometimes people click the wrong option, judging by the comment I'm guessing one of my + was suppost to be -

    Ah. okay... I forgives you still don't understand how rep varies so much :/ like lose 7 points sometimes and gain 2 sometimes etc... Just doesn't make sense. I'd have assumed it would be a +1, -1 system.
