this shіt is so unfair

the powers that be are just handing out custom ranks left & right,

bumping up peoples' kudo weight like it ain't no thang,

just hooking people up w/ reckless abandon.

 

don't you even care how it might affect the good people who have been here trying to inject a little life in this place for more than half a decade without reward of any kind?

 

don't you think they are ever going to get tired of being fucked over & out at every opportunity?

Custom ranks are earned by working on submissions for wiki building or they are prizes given for wining contests. 

 

These are opportunities that are available to all users.

True, however, IBers tend to rank up faster and receive more kudos due to the sheer quantity of posting there. 

 

Users who primarily post in other folders have expressed feelings of unfairness about that.

 

Besides, the writing competition always comes to noise (with prizes!) and only a handful of users enter.

 

 

And any user who wants to run a contest is welcome to bring their ideas here. Naraku did a banner contest in IB not too long ago.

Luckily people can go to the folders with contests...


It would be neat if there was a way to earn a higher kudos weight - maybe through required stats or something.

I wish all custom ranks and kudos were gone

How I loathe thee-
Oh, how I loathe thee!
With thy mesmerizing eyes
And thy wicked lips
Which doth hold me captive;
Captivated, devastated
By thy sweet, deceit-filled promises
And by thy eyes
Thy treacherous, lecherous eyes
Which doth pierce my heart
To depths previously unknown
And sear my soul
With passion burning bright
Burning, yearning, undeserving
What thou doth do to me
Thy lightest touch doth linger
Ever after on my skin;
Though I rub, scrape and scrub
Never am I clean again
Nor ever am I free again
Of thy gaze, thy touch, thy kiss
Imprinted on my memory
Forever and eternity
And so I tell thee
For whom I am but a plaything
Worth nothing more
An amusement for thee
To love, then leave
With nary a second thought
And never a backward glance
How I loathe thee-
Oh, how I loathe thee!
The only one I ever loved...

Indeed.

I just did not get mine. I worked on the Squidbillies wiki.

I'm fine with it. Now, it is my understanding that kudo weight can be altered if an Admin feels it is warranted. If you think you really deserve it the be weighted higher, giving a good reason would help. And showing it with your behavior.

As for the rest, 4-Hbabe is right. If you want a custom rank, check out the other folders and try out a few contests. That's the best advice anyone can give for that.

I think mods can also alter kudos weight.



On a completely unrelated note, why do you have a normal rank again? Did the immortal one expire or did you ask for it to be taken off?

I think he meant that his rank wasn't just arbitrarily given - he got it for working on Squidbillies.

For crying out loud. 

 

I didn't even notice that he already had a custom rank.

 

 

I think it's time for a break. And mass quantities.

while you are investigating things could you find out why I haven't been given a kudo weight of 11 yet?

Immortal was a regular rank. The only extra I have is a kudos weight of two. But that should really be increased.

Frankly, this forum puts too much importance on kudos and the system is meaningless.
People aren't kudoing things because they have any value to any discussion whatsoever.
They just hand out kudos to friends for no real reason most the time.
It's just another way to spam.
The people on top of the kudo circle jerk pile have more kudos from individual users than days the kudo system has been in operation.

As for custom ranks, I have no problem with the way those are given out and seem far less abused as far as the way they are rewarded go. And that's coming from someone who's never had a custom rank (not for a lack of trying).
Let's see what happens when we take away the puppy.

More often with high kudos holders, there are a few people who have given out hundreds to the person. I think when a person has kudos from a lot of different people it's more meaningful - it means that you dont just have a couple friends kudoing anything you post, whether it's derpalicious or intelligent.
