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.

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.

    • We need a game update frequency setting. * Right now your recent games will be auto updated overnight, and your unrecent games won't be updated. The bifurcation of recent and unrecent is fine, but we should be able to control the update frequency for both, with any of the following options: 1. Don't auto update 2. Auto update weekly 3. Auto update overnight 3. Auto update immediately (push) i.e. When I'm playing a lot, I want my recently played games to have push updates, so if a dev releases an update at 4pm, it's already downloaded on my Xbox by the time I get home. The current overnight cadence leaves a lot of wasted time waiting for updates on slow connections. My infrequently played games in ok with deferring to overnight, or maybe weekly, but let the users control their frequency. Basing it on data and last played sounds smart but ignores the human reality that often when I'm busiest and have the least time for games is when it sucks the most to come home and find a huge update list waiting for you.
    • Genocide is intent to exterminate and both the Israeli government AND its people openly declare, even boast about their intent to exterminate Arabs. This society of sick psychopaths has even made songs about it. Zionist means believing Israel should exist as an religious ethno-state where only Jews have rights and everyone else is second class citizen. As for the blood libel thing, we already know zionists get off on killing children. We also know Israel is a safe heaven for all the pedophiles and rapists of the world. Honestly, after what we saw in the Epstein files, I wouldn't put anything past this depraved death cult. Of course all atrocities committed by tHe wOrLds mOsT mOrAl aRmY are always "unproven or taken out of context". Unfortunately for them, their soldiers are dumb enough to leave a trail of their war crimes all over social media. Then again, when you live in a society that's obsessed with death and destruction, posting videos of yourself in the act of ransacking homes and desecrating religious monuments earns you brownie points I guess. Israel is the only society in the world where people come out on the roads for the right to **** prisoners. Also claiming that the BBC said this and AP said that without so much as a link has gotten me curious. Are all zionists this dumb? I really hope you aren't getting paid for this because this is some low effort propaganda.
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac by Taras Buria Microsoft has announced a major update for the OneDrive client on macOS. Today, the company released version 26.098, promising significantly faster sync, optimized CPU usage, a smaller memory footprint, and better energy efficiency. In a newly published blog post, Microsoft acknowledged that changes implemented in OneDrive for Mac in 2022 brought some unwanted side effects. Due to architectural changes and the need to keep the OneDrive sync engine unchanged, Microsoft created a hidden cache folder. With time, it would cause reliability and performance issues for customers. Now, Microsoft is ditching the old engine for native sync, delivering a faster, more reliable experience. As a result of this change, OneDrive for Mac now integrates more deeply into the operating system, offers about two times faster sync performance, and uses fewer system resources. While the hidden folder still exists, the app only uses it to store files that have not been uploaded yet, link file types, and macOS-related packages. In total, even when holding hundreds of files, the temporary folder does not take more than a couple of megabytes on the drive. Besides optimizations, the new sync engine enables external drive support, allowing you to keep your OneDrive folder on a removable drive (it should meet all the requirements). Microsoft is now rolling out the updated OneDrive client for Microsoft 365 Insiders. To check if your Mac has the new sync engine, go to the About tab and check the app version. If it ends with something like 26H, you are on the new engine. If not, you are on the old one. Microsoft says it will take a few weeks to complete the rollout to Insiders, but it won't say when to expect the update in the stable channel. Big performance updates for OneDrive on Mac came right after Microsoft confirmed it would soon kill document editing in Office 2019 for Mac due to expiring certificates. This change will force users to look for alternatives or switch to Microsoft 365.
    • Sorry but that makes no sense. What does using the same laptop have to do with anything?
