More BR's , Cool You do relize it takes 24 to get a case, and 3 1/2 cases, to get a keg. 

 

Unfortunately, due to the economy, our BR's are about 1/2 the size of what they used to be.  Now a case is made up of 48 BR's.  We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

Ah; I Inflation, I understand;  

give me one of those kmoore

Me 3! it'll go nice with my little 1,00th post party

1 thing that needs to change is the score on our Public Profile page, then people see a - score they think they did something wrong when in fact it's because someone else did not like there post I think it should be deleted from our Public Profile page cause it causes to much this is just IMO!!!

Hey SBB.  Just so you know, this is a feature that we've discussed many times about removing, as it's too prone to abuse.  Just like a Windows Experience Index score tells you about your system configuration, this rating tells you next to nothing about the member and what sort of impact he/she has on the forums.  

Maybe now, while things are being changed and cleaned up, is the time to go ahead with this. One big reason, it appears that someone is currently abusing the system. Look at all of the posts by [WildDog] and seabigbear in just about every thread, there are a ton of 1-star ratings where there shouldn't be. Since everybody seems to be in agreement that this Score has no real meaning, now is the time to get rid of it.

Thanks for the info shane.

Just an FYI... Any and everything that we do on this forum.. Can be seen and we know who is leaving what. Might be a good time to become a good standing member of our community instead of.....

Is anyone planning to take action if the Score system is being abused? As Nordic said above, this rating really has no meaning, so why keep it?

I give AfterBurner -1 in BC2 all the time.

With the new moderators having been trained up and ready to do their worst out in the wild, we are going to make some small changes here and there based on feedback and complaints we have received.

Blue ribbons are going to be more plentiful.  I admitted before that we weren't giving out enough, this was because we simply didn't have enough manpower to do so.  Feel free to report any post you feel is BR-worthy.  In general we look harder at people that report their own posts, but we will award them if they are warranted.  Most importantly, we want BRs to mean something.  So if you see someone that helped a tech issue, went above and beyond to research a question without saying "there's a search feature noob", or even built a killer system please nominate them.  With everyone looking for BRs, we can give away a ton of them.  Feel free to keep posting milestone threads, we like giving the regulars a pat on the back.

We have gotten more and more complaints recently about off-topic remarks in threads.  We have been a little too lenient in this regard, so I would like to outline a new policy we have put in place effective today.  If a thread gets too far off topic, and a moderater can catch it in time, they will post a general warning to remain on the OP topic.  Any further posts after that point will be officially disciplined.

Our forums get 200+ posts per hour, we ask that our community work together to help us catch problems since it is literally impossible for our moderator team to keep up.  This is what the report post feature is for.  Please report posts that you feel break the terms and we will look into it.  If you do not get a direct reply to your ticket, please let me know directly as all mods should be replying with at least a "Thanks for pointing it out, we will take care of it" - or something similar.  You might not see it, but the moderators are constantly working behind the scenes.  I'm sure the new mods can attest to their surprise at what they work out and work on.

Lets keep working together and make sure this forum stays great!  Please reply with any questions you have for me, or if you have feedback and/or comments on anything you would like changed.  Of course, my inbox is always open :)

Just as a side note shane,
 
The "report abuse" button needs to have a compainion called the "Report helpfullness" or "request a BR for someone"  or even better rename it to "report abuse or reward" (I know the OP can flag a post as helpfull but we need something all members not just the OP can use to simplify the BR reward.
 
We really just need somethng that IS OBVIOUS TO NEW MEMBERS when they receive extra ordinary help from members on here, Because they most likly dont know that the report abuse button can also be used to report HELPFULLNESS of there fellow fourm members...

Just my $0.02 on the BR topic

NordicJedi All we ask is that people spend more time concentrating on the actual debate, and not resort to personal attacks and off-topic posts in an attempt to score points.  

Oh please, Lord, let this happen.

See what?

lol, is that called an Afterburn? 

^ hilarious!
Anyways, I'm glad to see some changes like this. I'm not one to complain, but I have a ton of post that are BR worthy (from helpful posts, such as tech help..to milestones and build logs) I don't/havn't received BR's for any of em.
While I don't really mind as I'm not helping for a reward, Its nice to hear that more BR's are going to be given out :3

In any case, I'm glad to see the Mods are listening to the users ;)

One more thought, If at all possible...could somebody implement a system that lets users look at where a BR is and for what reason is was given? I see I earned a BR somewhere but im not entirely sure where.
Anybody else agree?
