Antipoint System

Your AntiPoint Assignments Have Been Unbalanced!

"Balance is key!" - Mr. Miyagi in The Karate Kid.

The AntiPoints System has detected that you've been assigning either too many positive, or too many negative, antipoints lately. Your responsibility, as a member of the AntiOnline Community, is to assign positive AntiPoints to posts that are helpful or informative, and negative AntiPoints to posts that bring down the overall quality of our discussion forums.

If you've only been assigning positive AntiPoints, it's time that you start letting the trouble makers know that their behavior won't be tolerated! If you've only been assigning negative AntiPoints, it's time that you thank other members of the community for their helpful thoughts and insights!

Take a look at the "You Tend To Assign:" meter on the left hand side of this page. It will show you in which direction you've been over assigning. Remember, your goal is to get the meter to be as close to dead center as possible.

If you ignore this message, and continue to be unbalanced in the way you assign AntiPoints, the system will reduce the impact that your assignments have on people.

Once you've achieved balance (or close to it), this message will go away.

Check out this message I recieved on my home page of Anti-online. So, I am sorry to all those people who have helped me and have gotten positive anti-points from it {but I won't stop}. And for all you jackasses out there I am sorry that I don't give a **** about you or your antipoints.

adiz this is an old feature of the ap system - when it first came out many people critisised it and had mush the same veiw as you.....it also coined the phrase "balancing"

thats when a lam0r is used for negs in order to balance out your aps
I find trolls very good for this ;)

Doesn't that message eventually go away though? I haven't gotten it for many month's now.

AP suck anyways. Yes this is a one liner, but it's a true one liner.

Peace

i love cheese! :p

Well, gee... thanks... I guess I *ahem* love you too...

The way I see it is this...

I have so much AP now that if I give someone green they'll be pumped with green goodness and will eventually jump from noob scum to addict within a week or so. If I start neging I get alot of complaints because I could nearly ban any noobie that I come in contact with and because im a senior i am expected to be a "nice guy" 24/7 about every little thing that happends around here.

AP will never make peaple happy. And if it does then my advice is enjoy it while those feelings last ;)

now days greenies are just basicly PMs from newbies that want to tell me how cool some bull-crap post I made was... or something that I like to roll into a joint & smoke every now and agian.

This is one of you old time lines, i remember you saying that couple of times.;)

Since it was brought up...

I've seen this since the feature was turned on, and have grown acustomed to it. I think that I would load the page in awe if that message dissapeared, and it would throw off how I check the format of the website. I usually scroll down to check it out, and without it... :confused:

Anyways, that message doesn't do anything except take up space on the main screen. As far as I can tell, none of its words saying that impact will be reduced will acturally happen until you break the balance, which is by assigning way more points than you have been assigned. Ie you have two green dots, so until you have given out 200-300 points (which would take your AP level a long time) nothing there would happen, and usually by that time you have 3-5 dots anyways...

Man I remember the rampant balancing that happened when that message first popped up... Members like banme, etc., showed up until JP was really mad. Idea was for good, but got out of hand. I think it provoked Alliances, and many people were banned for that. Personally, I got used to the message since when it loads, the ad doesn't load 1 out of 20 times or so :)
