It's not about me not liking the members in question. It's more about calling out the main trolls because their behaviour disgusts me.

Just my 0.02 ?.

It is subjective at the end of the day. Some might say what you just did is pretty horrible behaviour.

I mean if I went and made a list of all the people I hate..

Let me see..

1. Rap... err nevermind. :rofl:

Just wondering out loud here, but how do other forums implement a rep system and avoid the problems we've seen here?

Maybe those forums have different ideas than us.

Thank you! (see, looks much better when it's written down, not clicked)

But please don't forget you also promised me a white / silver / light-gray forum skin few weeks ago. ;)

The dev responsible for that is slacking unavailable at the moment.

I edited/deleted several posts while writing them because they were much harsher then what I ended up posting today. In the end I scrapped them because it's not worth it being warned because certain members have to be jerks.

So in the political section and the news section these things are not going to be implemented.

As I said, what I listed only covers a small number of the ideas we're throwing around. Of the ones I listed, maintaining a 0 warning level applies across all forums :p

We are currently looking at designing a new system, where reputation points would mainly be handed out to members automatically for certain things. A few ideas off the top of my head, that may or may not be included in the system: maintaining a 0 warn level whilst being active on the board, providing the 'solution' to a 'problem' posted by a member (akin to Experts Exchange) and so on.
Doesn't sound perfect, but it is a step in the right direction.

Do we all start fresh with the warning level?

Actually not a bad idea: General amnesty while enforcing stricter moderation guidelines. The troublemakers will be back on their normal warning level in no time.

We have many more ideas, but I don't want to list a whole load of things that may not end up included in the final product.

Sounds good to me. I'm sure that whatever you guys implement will be leaps and bounds better than the old rep system. I've seen reputation/karma systems like the old one used on many different forums, and to this day, I've never seen one of them implemented adequately when the users are given complete control. In about 10% of instances the system is used for its intended purpose (rewarding positive contributions to the community), and in the other 90% of instances, it's used for people to prop up opinions that they happen to agree with.

So all the people with warning level's before this system came in place wont be able to get rep points.. That sucks.

You mean that all the people who have caused trouble in the the past will have to wait to get rep points.

Remember, warning levels go down automatically for non-rulebreaking behavior.

      Promoting is fine - advertising, informing, whatever.  But interrupting your PAID OS experience is not.

      Sadly, that is the state of things. It's basically considered acceptable for any random app running on your computer to use 1+ GB of RAM, and install space, lol, no one even seems to consider that.
    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple This week at Apple’s 2026 developers conference, the iPhone maker unveiled the upgraded Siri after more than a year of delays. The new Siri is now called Siri AI, and it's powered by Google Gemini models. While Siri AI is preparing to roll out to Apple users worldwide, the company’s EU customers might need to wait much longer before getting their hands on the new assistant. Shortly after announcing iOS 27, Apple said in a blog post that Siri AI is not coming to the EU anytime soon due to hurdles posed by the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and other regulatory requirements. To comply with the DMA in the EU, Apple apparently needs to open Siri AI to rival assistants on iOS 27 and iPadOS 27. Apple has refused to do so, which has resulted in Siri AI being delayed for its EU users. The company argues that such a move would put users’ privacy at risk. In a statement to Neowin, a European Commission spokesperson provided more details about why Siri AI will not be rolled out to Apple customers in the region. The statement first noted that the DMA does not prohibit Apple from launching its services in the EU and that the company is simply required to comply with the law. The European Commission spokesperson added that, since Apple is considered a gatekeeper under the DMA, it is “obliged to give third parties access to equivalent features as they give to its own products. Because the DMA is precisely about giving users the choice to use the product they find best suits their needs.” Moreover, the spokesperson said the Commission has been in contact with Apple, though the company “did not develop proposals for DMA compliant interoperability solutions.” The statement also clarified that companies designated as gatekeepers cannot leverage their status and products, such as operating systems, to favor their own AI services. The first public beta of iOS 27 will roll out next month, while the stable version is expected to launch this fall following the release of the iPhone 18 series. It remains unclear when Apple will be able to resolve its DMA-related compliance issues with the European Commission and bring Siri AI to its European customers.
