"Like" feature?

[Free]

Yes, being an asshole is not against the rules most places and some people enjoy being an asshole most of the time for some reason. I prefer to just be an asshole when I deem it time to be, otherwise I just hang out and chat. Assholes have lists of people who have activated an 'ignore' feature for their posts. To my knowledge, I am on no such lists.

Meh. One person's asshole is another person's favourite place to put their dick.

phpbb's extensions are extensive but not all are compatible with the latest software. If anyone finds something interesting let me know.

And you can treat it as a reputation counter that isn't as obscure as pafoa.

Case in point, Walleye has 21,474,860 reputation points, where I have 21,474,841 reputation points. A difference of 1. He'd been a member a full 9 years longer than my second account.

Granted, I probably racked a few points up with meme war posts, but the possibility of having a difference of 1 after 21.5 million points is astronomically low.

In addition, JasonLund has a reputation of 21,474,838, which is just 22 below Walleye, and JasonLund joined in 2023.

Not to mention, Free has a reputation of 21,474,851 joining in 2014, 9 below walleye and 10 below me.

I have struggled many times to comprehend pafoa's reputation system, without success. It looks to be an absolute system of grading on a curve, where people's reputations can appear abnormally close without appearing actually close.

Well, it's because there is a hard cap.

So "new" people will eventually catch up to "old" people, no matter how big the "age difference" is.

That doesn't make sense at all. That's like saying a year 1 EE is the same as a 20 year EE. I had a new guy asking if i should be doing that when I pulled some wires out of a panel then plugged them into an extension cord to make the circuit live.

It may not make sense, but that's how it is.

As Free said there is a cap to what people can rep each other. It probably took 8-10 years for the first person to hit the cap. It was basically a compounding effect. In the beginning people only had a couple of points to rep others with so it was real slow going. You could have had 1000 posts repped and not been near the top. Over time as people hit the cap they now had max rep. As they repped others almost every one hit the cap. With the regulars repping people it can take only months and maybe dozens of repped posts to achieve max now.

The separation you see is because a point gets added for every year you are a member and a point is added for every 1000 posts.

And Streaker explained why the cap is what it is here. https://forum.pafoa.org/showthread.php? ... ost4406642
