Why I miss old clickies: a lament...

[RedDevil]

I think it's just going round and round here now :)

We're not debating the cause and effects of clickies, it's simply a discussion between 2 people now, the rest of the panel left and went fishing and you're heading out for diapers and formula..

This small debate hasn't generated attention in terms of gaining momentum for any changes of the current system, which I think you weren't looking to do anyways, but the problem is that any changes WOULD affect the entire club's Forums.

I've received comments from other staffers wondering why it's even being considered since it's only a complaint about not being able to give multiple clickies to everyone, which was an abuse issue in the old system.
I agree with them that, just because a few people on the CM forums say they are not posting here anymore because of the clickie system change, and want\ need change and review of the system, is simply not going to happen.


edit**** We're discussing it now however, and we might do a poll


And yes, I did receive quite a few emails on the old rep system and I went after those who were causing issues, and they weren't just from you know who. :)

You're presented a fair say, up to a point, about the clickie issues, but in review, it's only about you and your buddies "having fun" with the system. Which really is the same as saying you're not posting here anymore, because you can't "abuse" (pervert, I think you said) a feature of the forums to your satisfaction. By "Abuse", I don't mean in a manner of extreme-ness, the abuse you were doing, was somewhat harmless to a point, but becoming a nuisance and developing into a distraction on the CM forum.
I didn't mind for a bit, but I came to realize that instead of using the CM forums for CM gaming discussions, it was becoming a spot to harbor all things not associated with CM and this was in fact, not fair or appropriate to the CM community here.

If you want a forums for insane and useless banter topics, I can make that happen. :) My only concerns are the maturity level and topics that might appear there and how to effectively moderate it to keep posting active without having to hang people every week. :kill:

Oh well, back on track here about clickies..

I'm only guessing here, but the rest of the club seems happy about the current clickies system situation. I'd have to agree with them.

In the long run, the Rep points will sort out as members overcome the hurdles of the system limits and make it work as it should or as they "think" it should

The CM community will still be here as well, chugging along. :)
