I know about 12 sites who uses this. It is abused though. Make many accounts to do it. That is why you should add a requirement to be able to fame or requirements.

I brought this up a while ago under community ranking, but I guess it was underdeveloped and bad timing since I got 0 responses.


Yes well I've brought this up also, tons of people have, pretty sure I did it before you though.

Your idea is pretty much the classic Fame power. It is one of those things that all the sites have. As we all know by now if we are the old members is that Armor Games does not want to look like copiers of a site. This is still a very smart idea Drognor. It might even be good enough for Armor Games not to care it's cliche and use it.

I don't know of any site that uses this, and I still don't think we shouldn't use just because other sites use. Every though there might be a reason why other site use it?

You can't do a thing here with multiple accounts except avoid being banned, but its quite simple to code no duplicate accounts from the same IP address.

Yeah Man, maybe say this in a nice way? It's like Maple Story. You can get more fame if your more loved. It's not like merits Man. It's in the view of a Role Model way. Someone who is fun, can post intelligent comments unlike yours Mr Freeze, and who may have been here for a long time.

This would make the site WAAAAYYYYYY TOOO DAMN STRICT. People would post 5 paragraph posts, and all the time would try to get more SP. NO. NO. NO. I hate this idea.

Look, guys.

Every suggestion has problems. Don't spend all your time pointing them out. You can compliment, you know.

"Yes, soandso, I think that is a great idea."


You can still be expressing yourself Mr Freeze. Your looking at this in the all strict way. Look at it in my point of view. You can see what it seems like in my post about this. Uh, I already did compliment Firetail so can I criticize a little now?

Yeah, but we'd all be zombies:

"Yes, soandso, I think that is a great idea." Posts like that would be everywhere. Frankly, I like the balance of spammers, normal people, and moderators. It's what makes the community fun for me.

No you don't have to be zombies disagreeing is option, and just normal good posting could eventually get you to guardian rank, its not that hard really.

Well, Mr.Greyback. Do you want a million role models running around? Million zombies who just post like goody two shoes? Even moderators have fun! And with SP, there would no mods because all of them spam every once in a while. So that's why I hate this idea. SP would become the main aim for people and the site would lose all of its fun.

Not in a goody two shoe way. Just not super cruel but not all perfect like. Like what I do all the time. It's nice but it has humor in it all the time.

Expressing yourself like a goody two shoe, that is, Mr.Greyback. I REALLY don't like this idea. And that's my opinion.

I think we are getting off-topic, unless you are talking about support points using zombies.
