hi,
I would like a feature to be added to this valuable forum.
Whenever a person starts a thread, if some one assigns antipoints to the thread the thread starter must also get the points.
thnx

Thread points are there mostly to keep a thread alive or kill it, if someone wants to add AP's to a user he can do that. I Don't see a purpose for this idea at all....and plus the starter would be ******d if we decide to suicide a thread if all the APs go to him/her too...
Hi codenamevirus I can see what you are trying to say, but I must agree 200% with ©opy®ight in his reply.
1. Thread antipoints are for good/bad threads. I would say that they are heavily weighted in the negative?
2. Poster antipoints relate to the individual making the individual post.
So, if a Troll makes an inappropriate thread, they can expect to get negative points for their first post. If the thread is rubbish, then it will also get negged, thus closing it more quickly.
On the other hand, a member may post a perfectly reasonable thread that you would rate as "even" and a Troll jumps in and posts some rubbish. The Troll deserves to be negged, but the original poster does not deserve any particular credit as a result. By giving positive points to the thread, the Troll can be chastised without closing the originally valid thread.
There is also the concept of "double jepoardy"...... you can neg or pos a person once .......... if you added thread points you would hit them twice?
:)
This is kinda off topic but I was just wondering, Do any of you know how long the waiting period is to when you can give someone AP's again? allow me to explain: example, I give Nihil Greenies for a good reply to something I posted, if I try again it says something to the effect of You must Spread Your AP's Around Before Giving Them to Nihil Again. So, how long do I have to wait before I can green Nihil again?
hi The Texan,
You have to wait until your board clears the name in your anti-point index of assigned points...you can only dish out to the same person after you've given to ten others and the name is no longer listed.
Eg ;)
What are AP's? and how do I get a ton of them................
Thanks for your help.
;)
Well now I know thanx Eg.
I do believe its 10 assingments in between.
ok, I understand and now I also agree to nihil and copyright. concepts like suicidal thread and hittin the poster more that twice, is the matter of concern.
thnx for the clarification!!
its cool, and if you need another avatar of two sweaty shirtless dudes hugging we can help with that as well..
hehehe, well actually they are 2 wrestlers.
both were frens(as u can already c) and this is their best pic together ever.....as the smaller one of them has already gone to heaven.

Just PM Jp he will send you a link, don't think it's free though.

I would have thought if a troll made an inappropriate thread, the correct action would be to bin it :)Quote:

Moira, when I use the expression "Troll" I mean a deliberate troublemaker, not just an idiot.
These people can be quite cunning and time their attacks to when they think that they will be momentarily safe.
As you are aware we are a 24/7 site, so it is difficult to police the site at all times.
In the past it has proved useful to have the membership able to close threads and ban troublemakers.
I would hasten to add that this is fortunately a rare ocurrence, but it does happen.:)
I'll be keeping an eye out for some good mod candidates in Aus.
Do we have anyone in Hawaii............I think that they are about 10 hours behind GMT?
Fortunately we have not had much of a problem recently but it would give one a slightly warmer feeling?
I could always import an aussie mod or 2 from some of our other forums. We have more than a couple fine ones who probably would join if asked.
Have we anyone on the West Coast? that would give -8 hours, which would be a help?
Sure it would help some. It's only 3 hrs of my local time, but it would still be of some help. I'm not that worried about it. We handle things pretty well so far I'd say.
Given my "sleep schedule" I'm usually fairly flexible ;) Today I'm on afternoons and by next month I'll probably be on midnights. And of course as I pointed out, in December I'll be here but might be at odd times as I'll be in Montreal :)
December? Can't be the jazz festival, that's in the summer.
Like I'd go to a Jazz fest ;) Hehe.
lol Gore listen to jazz, i'd pay to be seeing that show..
Anyhow i still think we scrap the hole ap system, i mean the mods here are here for a reason, we might as well give 'em work to do.. lol :D
i mean i bet a few of 'em enjoy pressing the ban button every now and again, it would be like a early christmas present for 'em. :D
cheers
acidtone..:)
