AP new feature - u like it?

[cpopham]

I think it will keep people from negging for fear of being negged back.

I'll keep it brief 'cause everyone else has pretty much summed it up!!

I have to say that I think showing the AP'ers name is a fantastic idea and will hopefully take the AO community to a higher level. I just hope that the younger / more destructive members will either learn to live with it or leave.

Its all good!

But is not giving out negs a good thing? I know if I see somebody being rude or nasty, I will neg them. Regardless of who they are, or why they were posting it.. For instance. I negged somebody who made the following comment
"as for the M/-\D L33t skilz of Netstat....Your a fool....you don't know what your on about...
Sit down...shut up and read something. "

My reason for negging this person is because their comment was not needed, the only purpose it served was to be rude. While what they posted might have been correct, netstat isn't an elite hacker tool, but it did not need to be posted in this manner. However, as this person has a really high green count, I might think twice about doing the same in the future.

On the other hand.. I had someone using two different nics to assign me antipoints. I had always thought it was the same person, and I did report it to the AO admins.. and now I can see that I am correct. Of course the person claims it was their younger cousin who just happened to have identical information in their profile..

Given that the boards are moderated much more now than they were when JP was running the show, do we even need antipoints anymore? Perhaps it should just be changed to a notify moderator type thing.

Being relatively new here, and just beginning to understand the AP system, also having no axe to grind, I feel that I can comment from a neutral stand point. It would appear that abuse whether in a forum or on the street seems to come from people with a recognisable level of intelligence, and is best ignored. Regarding criticism in general, it is reasonable to ask why it was given, and from who it came from, I'm sure most people face some sort of critiscism on a daily basis at work or school etc, but don't go after everyone whose comment's they don't like or disagree with. If the new system leads to a better overall standard of post's that can only be good, also people may give a bit more thought to their reasons, motives for critiscism prior to doing so. after all it is a forum , not a court

I think it's cool though. I mean I got negged a lot and I thought it was by the same person. But I found out it wasn't, so I will live with it (even thouhg I still think I got negged for the wrong reasons).

There's good and bad to it. The AP system should have been fine the way it was, but people abuse it, probably how it will be now that people's names will go along with the APs they give out. Though hopefully the good thing is it will keep people from negging other people "just because" or something. And if someone thinks they did not get deserve what they got, they can PM that person. Hopefully it won't start fights, but it probably will. Though I think it's a step in a good direction because now honest people can at least know if they get negged a lot they can look up who it is and not have to wonder if it's all by the same person. I know I have a bit more peace of mind.

And just on a side note, I would like to say that I think JupCorp is doing a good job of running AO now. It's not all what we are use to, some things have changed, but I think they are attacking the problems at hand in a good way and trying to please us just as JP would. I just wanted to say thanks!

My opinion is that it is going to do more bad then good because it can cause a war here (a big chain reaction). Thats my little opinion there .

You are right. I can see the PM's and the anamosity happening here. However, I can also see it as "You dished it, you deal with it." That's how I see it. I mean, now I can bet my left nut all the stupid **** will be over with.

[kilerboots]

There is a good side to it and a bad side to it.

Good side is that you can finally see who negs you. (which is what probally all you wanted)

But the bad side to it is that it will just create more negativity and more negs for people.

Such as someone negs another person... it shows there name then they get mad so they find a post that such one has made an negs him.

[bballad]

Personaly I think this is a great idea. Now that I know who has benn constantly dragging up old posts to neg my perhaps they will stop...if not it gives us the ability to call out those that are abuseing the system.

If jupe is going to do this to the AP system then shouldn't they also update the ((- contact user about this assignment: )) feature??? I've already gotten a brand new account to test this on and sure enought it says the same thing as before.

GG beat you to it in the site suggestions:
