Everyone here with the puns.

Much jolliness

[The Man]

I don't remember what my first repped post was. Rantz or one of the other staff might be able to tell you. This is the first one I remember being repped, but I think there were a couple of others before it.

[Pike]

I don't know how to display rep that far back, mine only goes back to like last week or whenever the Ciddies were

[Ayen]

I don't know how to display rep that far back

Same. Mine only goes back two weeks.

[The Man]

It's not possible. The only way to display rep that far back is if you're a staff member.

[Psychotic]

It's not possible. The only way to display rep that far back is if you're a staff member.Not even then unfortunately.

I know it from memory though. It would be this: http://home.eyesonff.com/showthread.php/122587-EoFF-Sims-2-Last-Sim-Standing-Interactive-Thread-o-Woo-Hoo this is when the rep system first got implemented. If it had been as widespread as it is now I'd have been limit breaked up the wazoo.

[The Man]

Can't you look via the admin control panel? I know that was possible in vB3.

[Psychotic]

Ooh! Good call.

[Aulayna]

I have no idea.

So.

Merry Crimbo and trout.

[Pumpkin]

Laddy was the first person to rep me because I said I had an e-crush on him

(It was a joke)

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

Whats rep?

[Shorty]

I haven't the slightest idea.

[Loony BoB]

Right, post ##HelpMe if you need to find your first repped post and you have so many that it's not listed. I (or maybe another admin if they wanna) can go through your posts later and link the post in this thread for you. I'll wait for a few posts so I can get them all done at once.

My first repped post was in the staff forum, and the post was about how I had set up the rep system. Mulley repped it, saying "G'job on setting up the reputation sytem." My first repped public post was about the same thing as seen below...


It's right next to the 'Report Post' text-link at the top-right of the post, on the far right from where the post date is. The link reads "Add to [username]'s Reputation".

EDIT: Will look into getting regular users visibility of who gives reputation points.
...Goldenboko repped me, saying "Now I can see who gave me stuff and love them. Love. Much."

##HelpMe

(it's probably something super embarrassing)

edit: just realized that I think rep was implemented during one of my forum hiatuses so it's probably just a lame "omg pike is here" rep

[The Man]

[Vyk]

Mine go back to June 2010 o.O

My first one wasn't that great.. lol

Edit: Actually...

##Help Me

The first rep I remember doesn't seem to be the one that's listed, so mine may not list all of them either. But if it my first one really is about an ugly cat smiley then I concede. My first one was lame lol But I remember one about a duscussion involving religion and morals being my first one

My first rep post would be me acting like an old man.

[Sephex]

Wow my first rep post was all serious. I am wondering how I gave some cohesive advice when I was at the tail end of my binge drinking days.

[Freya]

##HelpMe

I wanna know!

[Madame Adequate]

##HELPME

Actually, why can't we just see all our repped posts? Why only the most recent hundred or whatever?

[The Man]

When all the repped posts are visible, the user control panel won't load because vB4 is horrible :(

[Madame Adequate]

Okay but I don't see how this is anyone's problem except Mike's.

[Aerith's Knight]

It's not possible. The only way to display rep that far back is if you're a staff member.

But.. I can see it back all the way until 2009.

..Did I become staff at some point?

And why am I saying all this? Someone might take away my privilages! :shifty:

Also, first rep was for 0_o for teaching me how to make alt-text for my sig, which I forgot to turn on again. Meh, I'll do it later.

[Freya]

Well if you have less repped posts... then it would go a ways back.

[Vyk]

So I can see all my repped posts currently. I wonder what happened to the post I was thinking of. It was part of a religion/morals thread. I tried to find it, but didn't feel like sifting through all the hundreds of posts during the timeframe it could have been

[Dat Matt]

My oldest rep'd post was a month ago. Not sure how far back my first rep was.

[theundeadhero]

##HelpMe

This is the first one I can see. Is it the first?

[LocoColt04]

I -think- my list goes all the way back. If not, it had to be one of my first, because it was shortly after I joined.

This post:
Here's my issue with the potential of an "always-on" console:

We're not ready. In the Americas, in much of Europe, and especially Australia, we are not ready for something that requires us to be online at all times. Until much of the world is wired in the same manner as South Korea, we aren't ready for this. The infrastructure simply does not exist for this sort of thing. The unfortunate alienation of a larger portion of the userbase than anticipated will be Microsoft's result if they follow through. Will this HURT them? No. Will it stop most people from buying their system? No. Will it turn 360 players away from the Xbox? Some, absolutely.

Give it one more console generation before you rely so heavily on the digital age.garnered this rep from NorthernChaosGod:
Well said. I like you.

[Agent Proto]

##HelpMe

I'm generally interested to see what my first repped post is. :p

[sharkythesharkdogg]

I can't find the oldest repped post. It was probably rep for making fun of Julian. Also, Julian was probably the one who repped me for it. I miss that guy. He's good people. :(

Anwyay, here's the oldest I have in my profile. It was rep from Mr. Adequate. Nothing snarky in the rep. No comment at all. I suppose he just agreed with me.




Do you really think that the big corporations that are colluding with government are actually going to foot the bill if min wage is raised? Do you really think that since they can pay off members of congress to manipulate tax policy that suddenly making another law will actually punish them and suddenly make them pay? That policy fails on its own terms. Its not theory. It is fact.
And I am not being callous. How is actually trying to solve poverty callous? How is wanting to give more economic power back to the people callous?
The poor have always been with us and always will. Not everyone is the same. Whats comfortable for one person is completely arbitrary and is not your right to decide for others. With the pure motive of wanting to help your fellow man, you sell their freedoms by enabling a government already known to pay special favors to big businesses. If you want to change the government, then start by limiting their spending and your dependency on it. The government is only as powerful as the people it subjugates.

Now we're going in circles because I've kindly answered your questions, and given you my point of view, but you only return with the same questions.

Answer The Man's and answer mine. How would deregulation put power pack in the individual worker's hands? How would it improve their quality of life? How would eliminating the government (instead of fixing it to represent us better), give us more power and leverage against multi-national conglomerate corporations that now hold billions upon billions in resources and money?

Everything would be run by those companies. Don't like what they're doing? Well, there's no regulation against it. Want to make it so they can't? Well, they can afford lawyers, you can't because they pay you, and without regulation they pay you just enough to eat. If you've dismantled the government far enough, then forget a trial, there is no court system. It's simply might makes right, and a billion dollar corporation has far more might than you or me.

What you don't seem to follow is that policy is power. If those that create and enforce that policy for us are corrupt, then they need to be replaced, but eliminating policies put in place to better society will not eliminate poverty. It will make it worse. That is not theory. That is fact.

You keep saying, "but theory this." and "holding people down" that. Proper policy lifts people up. So many people in this country have forgotten that. They're brainwashed into believing eliminating social safety nets and established rights of the people will some how make them stronger. We've already tried that, so have other countries. Once again look to the Industrial Revolution.

You mentioned what you thought made countries like the U.S./Canada, European nations, and some Asian nations so successful earlier. Want to know what actually really helped them rise above? It was in 1689 when the first patriarchal system was eliminated, and one was put in place using a parliamentary system who's purpose was to make sure policy would now represent the people instead of the very wealthy and powerful few. Look up Glorious Revolution. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Treatises_of_Government#Historical_context) That was the first time, at least in western history, where a government body was formed to give more power to the people, and represent the people's interest. That's what helped them rise above.

The reason why it is callous, and not fact to insist on one theory being correct is because of all the reasons Psychotic, Del, The Man, and myself have given you. The facts and examples of how those theories don't account for other things outside of pure economics, and therefore don't work well on their own. In fact it often helps make it worse. Once again, everything in moderation, Assenov. Unfettered capitalism does exactly what The Man mentioned.

It allows for the accrual of massive amounts of wealth by the few, to the detriment of the majority. You keep saying how you don't like big, corrupt corporations, but yet you want to completely eliminate government that is there to keep them in check. So if we drop those protection policies, what's to keep those companies from creating even more powerful monopolies? What's to keep them from owning the land and resources, and deciding exactly how little we're worth? Since we don't want the government involved, how do we stop them?

Srs debate was srs, I suppose, but it's nice that we kept it civil and I appreciated that as well.
