Status Updates, Quick News And Profile Reputation

[Ryn Chirr 224]

But... The status updates are a way to express yourself without making a giant post! Bring back plox?

but I like status updates.

You'll be forced to actually think about what you say and approach things with a level of semi-professionalism akin to approaching a co-worker, classmate, or above.

If you want to approach it as if you lost something precious, I lost 2800+ rep and I feel like the white guy escaping the prison in Shawshank Redemption!

How ironic, considering I came up with a similar idea a while ago, and it got denied/ignored. And now you want to try it? I don't really care too much, I just find it a little funny. Be prepared though, you may find OOC chat getting more active because of players not being able to make status updates.

Don't limit statuses. Everything else is fine, but statuses are a necessity for a huge portion of the playerbase. It's how we communicate without making junk posts and all sorts of threads. Remove that limitation. Don't even bother testing it.

If you want the team members to do their announcements (which I find pointless and, honestly, uninteresting), make a second status update log, right under the normal one, so you may have both, instead of restricting it. I don't read statuses for important info. I read them to be in touch with other members of the community and, sometimes, to see what others are up to that might interest me.
Usually, the staff tends to be boring when it comes to statuses, and I can already tell there's going to be quite a few of them promoting voting on minestatus or redundant things of the sort; things most (if not many) of us don't really care about. We read announcement posts and news for that kind of stuff, aye?

Rep removal= 1+

Status removal= 1-

+0-?

I'm pretty sure nobody took status drama seriously. It was a good way to stay in touch with the community and what not. Rep had no real purpose and many negative aspects, so that makes perfect sense.

u have revealed my true form, i miss my rep and witty or informative status updates

The SchutzStaffel would be proud.

Step 1. Dehumanise enemies of the state before targeting them

Step 2. Take down the leaders of rebellion, ban players for made up reasons so they can't speak out.

Step 3. Stop people gathering into large groups, force them to go off and grind for hours with Nexus.

Step 4. Remove means of communication to slow passing of news. 

Step 5. Take over the statuses(the radio) and stop normal people broadcasting. Replace it with state indoctrination.

Step 6. Stop people from gaining popularity and fame among the people so no one can ever speak for the people.

Step 7. ???

Step 8. Full control of the state with no one to oppose the party leaders.

 

One problem though, this isn't a country. Can't stop people from leaving if you ruin it enough.

 

Thanks, Jack.

Not really in the slightest. We're a community of vidoe game players, not any of the above.

Since when did anyone need to be semi-professional approaching a classmate? Just say their ******* name and talk to them. They aren't your boss ffs.

 

Thanks, Jack.

This argument makes me giggle. Such silliness amongst the people of LotC.

  As much as I'll miss the green thing on my profile which said I had only 64 reputation (though I wish screenshoted it...) I feel that this will be a change for good. Good on the staff for trying this out.
