Funny. But when the antipoints were "anonymous" people felt the need to assign negative points to posts, more than required. Now it practically eliminated the negative points, except on extreme cases.Quote:

The good thing is we'll get less abusive and harassing remarks
I've been thinking of this for a long time. I know the top 50 AP earners will hate me for saying this, but APs should have validity period. In other words, they can expire after a certain time (say a year or two). Just like the mileage you earn in a frequent flyer programme.Quote:
The thinking, was that if members kept accumulating points over a looong time frame, the "hit" that users would take, either positive or negative, when one of these members gave a post assignment, would be too significant. (I think we're seeing these negative side effects of the AntiPoint System now).
If you wanna keep your mileage, you must keep flying around. If you wanna keep a lot of APs, you must keep giving good contribution to AO. Not like now, once a member's got 2000 APs or such, s/he becomes a god. Heh, even a god(dess) made mistake(s). :)
Yeah I know, mnstrgrl needs to modify the database design or something, and that requires a lot of work!
Anyway, members can still keep their title (based on post count) forever.
Peace always,

Actually, that's not a bad idea. That would mean that those "up there" would need to still remain part of the community and still add value. Might be worth suggesting, even if it's not changed immediately or goes on the backburner.Quote:

Jdenny.
its been said approx 10000000 times before.
You only have a few hundred more points to go then you can be in the I don't care club to.
Anyway. 95% of senior members "don't care" about antipoints anyway.
Ijust come here for the free sandwiches. don't know about you guys.
What....What, but I only got 11 now, and you say I need 1989 more. Well dagnab it. And I haven't even received my decoder ring yet either.Quote:

He's talking about antipoints, not green dots :p
But antipoints are tied to the green dots Neg, if they start to 'expire' over time, then too would the green dots. ;)Quote:
