What is the point in trying to gain Armor Points? Especially when once you've reach a certain goal of yours people just take them away. Who cares about the points? Seems to me like a vicious cycle people go through to prove they belong here. I guess you have to watch your back on this site now. What are your thoughts?

Not sure what you're talking about as far as watching your back, but you make a good point about AP.

@kevin, i was just saying that the friends you talk to will stab you in the back by deleting your comments.

I suppose it would depend on what your comments are.

On several occasions Ive recieved comments like "sup" and when you go to respond, you find they've written that same thing to 20 other people.

My most recent was a player who wrote "hw r u". I responded back and his next post to me was "nm". After inspecting his page, he had received several complaints from people he had "hw r u"ed. I deleted his comments, just because they clogged up my page.

What I was not aware of is something you said...
If someone deletes your comments to them, you lose AP?

I think he was referring more to the situation StarScreamer had... After he got gold king, people started deleting him comments so he didn't have gold king anymore.

exactly, for me gaining AP isn't a big deal because it's just a fun way of keeping track of progress but for some people it's their identity.
they will do any thing to rise in the ranks as fast as possible. i think it's kind of funny how AP affects people. i'm sure if i had thousands of points too i might change but i know that will never happen. maybe some easy fixes would be:

-50 character min. comments/reviews
-1 game rating per 30 minutes
-spamming penalties -1 AP per spam

i don't know i'm just rambling

I agree with tempo013. I hate people that try to get AP as quickly as possible by posting nonsense things.
I also feel kind of bad for starscreamer, but I pity all of his "friends" that are really just stalkers and people that want to bask in his glory.

I really like Free Rider 2 and I make some challenging tough maps that take lots of time and thought to produce. *ADVERTISEMENT ALERT* just check out my profile. lol. Back to me point, there are times where i like to go to FR2 to check out the maps other users have created and posted on the FR2 comments section and they SUCK. i see so many people making maps that are absolute garbage. they probably take 15 seconds to throw some lines down, add a star, and say "can you beat it". they do it just for the AP. That really annoys the hell outta me. that's another thing that should change. there should be a FR2 mod who accepts or declines maps that can be posted on the comments section.

Sounds like a lot of work for that mod...

Yeah, Kevin44's right. They would need two or three mods.

How about you talk to an Admin about this, and ask to become the first. If you like FR2 so much, it would be an awesome job for you.

i don't care how many mods it would take. FR2 spammers are the worst.
