For $120 I’ll give you my phone number and allow one call a week where you call me a POS over the phone. 

For $1200 I’ll travel to you and let you call me a POS to my face, and allow you to slap me with no retaliation. 

I’ll do it for $20 and $200

So on the rep thing.

I said I was stuck on 83 and you repped me bringing it to 84, claiming that it does indeed work.

Since then, I have gotten several more reps, mostly in the Non-Political Meme thread..........and still at 84.

I notice that posters like geeblock is at 0 and Spock is at 9 and I think this is not correct......and those numbers haven't changed in a long time.

Perhaps let posters be able to rep or neg rep and just get rid of the total reps listed for each poster?

It’s a calculation that’s been in place for over 3 years. It depends on the rep level of the person repping you. A higher rep means it boosts your number quicker. Negs will lower your rep score. It is what it is.

It’s not always going to go up a point just because you received a rep, it’s not one point per rep you get. It may take a handful of reps before you get a boost.

Ah.....that makes some sense to me. 

Thanks for the explanation. 😀

Like everything aside from one minor inconvenience. On mobile i have to hit the x on ads that appear randomly in threads before i can scroll further down. Didn't know i had to do it at first so i thought i was having some sort of problem with the new site. Not a big deal. Site looks nice. Good job.

I noticed that happening a while back, I had "auto ads" turned on and it was adding them in really annoying places. Some would take up half the phone screen and wouldn't move when you scrolled so you literally lost half of the screen. I turned auto ads off once I saw that happening.

If you see what you're describing happening again, can you take a screen grab and post it? Are you on android or iphone? Chrome or safari or some other browser?

Two things:

If you type in the wrong password during login, it generates a 500 error. Not sure if that's intended.

Secondly, I had some negs to distribute a little bit ago and noticed I was logged out again. I had to log in two or three times before it finally took.

Also the website is still too bright. I will be taking my talents to JJ Huddle

I added edit functionality to replies, though not to the OP because that's a different beast. It might look like it currently does for very long, I just wanted to get something up quickly. 

Testing an edit...

I see moderating abilities!


Will we ever be able to see who has repped and neg’d?

I said yes. And there is a workaround now if you just turn your phone sideways. I know it's annoying, but it's not a high priority.

I don’t know what a workaround is but thanks

It just means you can see it with a little extra work.

I’ll get them to show in mobile without extra effort at some point, but again, this is all essentially unpaid labor.
