you got it. it was for anything mobile. sound systems, lighting, wedding stuff, school dances, all the boring ass high paying local gigs.
there was a seperate sound system and lighting sections but in mobile there was discussions like where to get the customized gobos and projectors, how to upsell projector screens, what speakers work for a wedding and fit in a car....

Yeah I'm glad they are considering it. It makes sense for the community regardless of djcommunity users coming here.

I 100% agree!

17.11.2011		To the DJTT mods: I have to say, that it's cool that you even allow discussion about other DJ community s in the first place. Very big of you guys.

By far, Oliosky has one of the funniest "administrative infraction lists" and I'm betting his neg/pos rep is pretty funny too (still can't lay a finger on djdennis though )

The point is, (djf) posters aren't out to rack up a high rep score. It's just a consequence of their character. You can be very informative but sarcastic and rack up negs. Likewise you can be a troll with the highest negative rep possible, and be very popular at the same time. Or you could be modder who constantly engineers things and only receives positive rep.

Most people understand why certain people have certain kinds of rep. It's not black and white.

+1 it is good. It shows the fact that DJTT is adaptable and forward believeing.

I'll up that to 99.2% leaving another 8% for the other Mods to add to (or not)

I completely agree. adding a few sections to accommodate misplaced DJF users is awesome. trying to become another community is a recipe for disaster. you have a really good community here, to change core items could be a big mistake.
the added sections could easily be ignored, things like a rep system would be on everyones posts.

18.11.2011		lots and lots of positive rep was handed out for paying for VIP on DJF. I didnt really believe that was right, but I didnt ever really care about rep so it wasnt a big deal to me.

Inevitably it turns into people liking or repping posts more based on liking the specific user or personality rather than the actual content.

And why is that necessarily a bad thing?

Positive rep on DJF was usually handed out for something that was either helpful or funny. One of the problems with that on DJF was that nobody knew that rep had been handed out for a particular post, nor by whom. That would lead to someone insulting another member and they would get positive rep from someone else who didn't like the person being insulted, so they found the insult funny.

A "like" system doesn't work like that though, because if I insult you, anyone that clicks "like" to that post is basically signing their name in public and saying "I like this", so it's completely different as people can't hide behind anonymity.

Positive rep seemed to promote posts that were helpful or funny on DJF, so if people change their posting habits to be more helpful or more funny just cos they want some worthless number to increase next to their name, is that a bad thing?

17.11.2011		Karlos.. Maybe the idea on page 28 would be better than the 'rep system'.. The whole 'like' thing. I have seen it on other community s and it works great. Nobody gets negged for stupid reasons but people who post helpful articles or ideas get a 'like' and it ups their rep?

When people talk about something a lot on the community , it gets noticed by the Mods and we discuss it. Doesnt that seem reasonable (im not actually asking).

Now lets calm the tone down yeah.
It's reasonable, and it was more of a casual 'fuckkk that shitt'

My take is that we have got along well enough without it till now. I see no need for it.

I cant see it happening. Lets just carry on as we are.

16.11.2011		Rep is pointless IMO. Most of the people who had maxed out rep stars on DJF got them through making jokes or posting funny vids, and the system was abused all the time.

My community has a rep system of sorts, even though nobody uses it, but it works differently to the DJF one. Every post has a "like" button on it, so your rep score can only go up. It's still largely pointless, but it's not open to the neg-rep abuse that DJF's system suffered from.

There's another community I go to occasionally that has one of the most interesting rep systems on the internet.

For every 1000 points, you have 1 visible rep on your profile. members rep you or neg you as usual. If another member has lets say 10000 points, and reps you, you will get 10 visible reps on your profile etc. If the is a member with high reps, and reps you, you will get a higher rep.

The mods on the community have a visible rep power of 1 million plus to keep things in order. If a mod reps you for a good post etc, you will have 1000+ visible reps on your profile. Its pretty fun, and cool IMO as it encourages people to not post crap or the will get negged or mod negged.
