What The Hell

[ESmorz]

is this trader rating crap?

[dirtdiggler666]

muahhahahahahahaha

[SexPanda]

rolfcopters to you all!

Mods should be making up a bullo or something for all you guys.

[shishcabobers]

wtf? :[ no moar rep lol

[steve_o1989]

Trader rating is used for buying and selling. It is a rep..that is actually useful.

I'm to poor to be able to afford anything.

:fawkd:

[YoungGun]

They have this kinda thing on Nasioc.

[steve_o1989]

lol well then start selling.

It is replacing the old rep system that we had, which is gone. Im sure there will be some sort of announcement on that. Basically, you buy something or sell somthing to someone you can leave them a feed back and grow (or shrink) their trader rating

[ESmorz]

So who cut the balls off Zilvia?

Might as well go hang out on Nico now.

We have no way to discern the tool boxes from the kool kats.

lmfao

[dirtdiggler666]

and thats why its gone:tardrim:

yeah we do. Look at the join date, the number of posts, and they color of their name...

That should do you well enough.

[shishcabobers]

I say we should only have positive rep lmao, oOoOo i can finally use this thing :lfault: NEG REP ME PEOPLE! lmao jk

[drift freaq]

The old system was being abused in many ways. A lot of people were becoming premies to see their rep and that was the only reason. So that was removed. A lot of people were not repping for good reason but just for fun and to cause trouble. It was pretty much decided by the mods it was a broken system that needed to be removed. Though I thought it should stay in the end I saw certain things happen that led me to believe and feel they have made the correct decision.

Any dumb ass can buy a premie membership, anyone can post whore.

I don't have anything to sell. :ugh:

lol

[shishcabobers]

I don't have anything to sell. :ugh:

lol

I do.

I haz 3 empty gatorade bottles up for sales, willing to ship at buyers expense lol joking, but yeah i think this way is better.

Sell yourself.

Whether or not you will get good feedback is up to you.

[ESmorz]

The reason Zilvia was fun was because not only was it a place where you could buy and sell crap, but it was also like a social community. Which a lot of car forums fail at.

This is just one step towards making it the same as those fail wagons. Oh well, it's all said and done.

Who wants to buy some popcorn?

[LongGrain]

oh noes!

K im lost, how did the rep system on zilvia made this place a more social community? The rep system had nothing to do with how this place work. Atleast not intended to be. Some people took the rep system like its the word of God. Oh Nooooes i got neg repped, imma get banned!!!

We will still talk shit, we will still clown on n00bs, we will still talk about stretching tires like its gods gift to s-chassis, and we'll still hate on NICO just cuz they got nothing else better to do but talk shit back to us...:keke: I mean what exactly changed other than instead of having a rep system thats abused, we have a rep system that hopefully people will use to their advantage. Somebody sells something and you get jipped, give them a bad rating and hopefully steer people away from that ass wipe...would help zilvia be a better community in the end. Keeps the low life from trying to scam alot of folks...

Besides=:lfault:

[Matej]

Do only premium members get to use the trader rating?

Iunno cause it was fun to be able to pass around rep to people you felt were doing the site a service. It was like a buying them a drink. Or punching them in the nuts pending what they say. Just a quirky feature that made it a little less mundane.

[drift freaq]

I should ad it was a community long before the rep system became important to people. The rep system being important only happened in the last couple of years, before that no one paid much attention to it.

[drift freaq]

Do only premium members get to use the trader rating?

its for everyone.

[repda916]

rtweesddddddddddd

[downshift_sideways]

Agreed.

Who gives a shit about rep.

True, but whats stopping you from actually doing that without the rep system? You'd be surprised what a PM or a simple "thanks for replying to my stupid question" could do to somebody whos frustrated all to hell with their POS SR20 swap...

[ESmorz]

Agreed.

Who gives a shit about rep.

The numbers are meaningless. It was just a fun way to show appreciation. Then I looked and it was suddenly gone and I was like...

que?

Nothing... That's actually what I have been doing recently anyways.

[cserrano86]

Damn, there's gonna be a bunch of similar threads in the next couple of days...
Let's see where this goes...

[highly responsive]

i dont care that the old rep system is gone, im just concerned that my fonts look like shit now!!!

heres what it looked like before, and what it looks like in firefox on winxp:

Heres what it looks like in firefox on my freebsd box :(
http://img395.imageshack.us/img395/1301/zilvia2gv3.png

this all happened after the new rep system got put in, because earlier today it was just fine.

i havent done anything that would affect my fonts or firefox settings. it was cool one minute, shitty the next. i hope im not the only one affected. i dont want to have to turn on my winxp box just to look at zilvia, because the way it looks right now is fucking unbearable and unacceptable :(

[luisgonz]

Yeeeeeeeee, LOL I love you guys. BLah blah blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. :confused:

[shishcabobers]

Well i just gave imaginary rep, just by messaging them and saying +1 rep lol, keeping the memories alive! lol

[DOOK]

your rep is gone... I still see mine

[Vision Garage]

trade me bitches! but yea if the rep system made ppl buy premie who cares its bringing more money to the site. why complain when it makes money for the site.

[David Steele]

That's just you I actually have the before style still.

[Matej]

its for everyone.
Alright, I was just wondering because I don't see anything in people's profiles yet, and whenever I click on the number it says I do not have permission, but I'm guessing it's still being worked on.

[luisgonz]

Even better question. How does it work?

[shishcabobers]

oh man all my subscribed threads are gone, oh well guess gotta look for them again lol

[SuicidnS13]

Yea how does Itrader work. Who can add points to it? Mods only?

[cc4usmc]

I think if someone has a seller feedback thread their trader rating should equal the number of positive post on the thread.. to make up for the sudden lack of rep, and knowing whos legit or not.

[Mister.E]

oh man all my subscribed threads are gone, oh well guess gotta look for them again lol

check again bro. all of my subscribed threads are there.

[YoungGun]

They should just wipe everything from zilvia including post count.

This way it will be extra risky/fun buying from a seller.

[MikeC]

all aboard teh fail boat............

Says the noob whos been here 6 months...:fawkd:

[SimpleS14]

I had some genuinely nice compliments on some posts I made...oh wells.

I guess this will also replace the buyer review forum too.

[I10cruiser]

opening the doors to scammers for just a lil till this trader rating gets explained and put in action!. . so advise yourselfs to hold of on buying shit unless youre certain youre not going to get ripped off. . .theres shady poeple out there becareful

[MikeC]

Says the noob whos been here 6 months...:fawkd:


:mrmeph: -1 rep for you.....oh shit

[qwikspool]

we just have to learn to adapt :cry:

[Flicktitty]

makes no differance to me.

[I10cruiser]

i think some people are going to start acting like aholes

[ESmorz]

i think some people are going to start acting like aholes

Yeah, then will come the moderators.

Zilvia can no longer moderate for itself, so it will become a police state.

:bowrofl::bowrofl:

[SexPanda]

Adapt like the dodo's and tasmanian tigers and all those dinosaurs...

oh wait.

lol. It'll all be good in the end. Just give it a while for them to sort shit out, and for people to start buying stuff. Besides, most of us recognise eachother, at least the better known people, such as myself, and they know what we're all about.

Me: stupid jokes, slow cars, and sometimes useful information

Fuck rep.

It's all about infractions.

I guess people are goin to have buy from local buyers from now on. Till things get stable and less chaotic.

I wonder if with the Trader Rating system you'll be allowed to give ratings for any transactions you've done before 8/31/2008.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Yeah, then will come the moderators.

:bowrofl::bowrofl:

Honestly, I think the mods have been overwhelmed to be honest with you. This place is cluttered with so much shit in the last year, its not even funny. It got to the point that I hated going outside the Premie side of the house.

Perfect example: Have any of you checked the SR20DET FAQS?!?! That thread is so fucking useless now, its not even funny. Whens the last time a Mod had a chance to clean that shit out? Theres so much dumb post in there of people asking questions when its been pointed out that its to be used to post pertinent info only.

Nah, I don't have an SR nor do I ever plan on getting one. :keke:

Idunno, I just have an initial fear that Zilvia will lose some of it's flavor.

[WangonwWarrior]

Im going to need a lot of this from now on http://carlnet.no-ip.org/troll-spray.jpg

[ryguy]

I thought the rep system was the best thing about Zilvia. Hell, it's the only reason I came here instead of NICO at first. It was fun to use it as a comment box of sorts when somebody had a good post (or a bad post). The number didn't even really matter as much as the comments. I must say though, the rep system sure as hell made me think twice and search harder for myself before posting a dumb ass question or a dumb ass post in a thread. Its a sad day...

That's what I'm saying. Go over to the clusterfuck that is NICO and see how many "What's an SR20?" threads there are.

[soreballz]

^I'd really rather not. Everytime I visit Nico, I can practically FEEL my braincells disappearing...

:keke:

[YoungGun]

The nicos will start coming here since nobody can be a dick now.

Well you can through text, but the rep is what really got them down.

[articdragon192]

See, that's what mods are here for. They try to fix all those fuck ups. Seriously, rep got abused by many. It became a game instead of being used to show off someone credibility. It's gone now, and complaining isn't going to bring it back. Zilvia functioned fine without it before it existed, and it will continue to function just fine. The mods here do what they can to keep garbage from constantly popping up. Good riddance.

[DOOK]

can we just give it the fuck up.... rep was shit, it was used and abuse like a god damn hooker... you guys cry over a deceased hooker? then shut the fuck up and stop bitching...

[SexPanda]

can we just give it the fuck up.... rep was shit, it was used and abuse like a god damn DSM... you guys cry over a broke down DSM? then shut the fuck up and stop bitching...

I fixed it for you

:cops:

Mostly because, yes, I would be upset if girlfriend died.

[shishcabobers]

+1 rep for everybody! i got plenty

[Gnnr]

you do realize todays september first right?

It doesn't exist today, so I'm guessing it died on the 31st. ;) And I believe the rep system was implemented in 2005 after some searching...

[IdriveaNissan]

My ePeen has gotten much smaller.

[revat619]

we get rid of rep and we keep the useless tags and trader ratings?

The fuck is going on with this site?

not that i cared about rep. It was just entertaining. its the damn internet, what is with all this super seriousness and "this is getting abused" and that is getting "abused" nonsense? I'm not being cynical, i'm asking a legitimate question. Its like every other day its something else thats out of line or abused or what have you. Don't get me wrong, i'm all about making sure things are under a control and whatnot, but this is getting to a point where things are policed and not moderated. And yes, there's a difference.

Sensor profanity and the right to an opinion (which is already starting to happen) and this place will be no different than a NICO with better servers, a cooler layout, and a later version of Vbulletin....

I think the Trader Rating can be abused like the rep system. It can also be used as a rep system. See if I want to rep someone, for example, I can pop up the Trader Rating and give them a positive feedback with a comment to go along. Can you see the resemblance? People are just going to create multiple accounts via a public place(library, comp lab, etc.), friends house, or every other possible way to get their rating(aka rep, that's how I see it) up. People can just lie about them too.

well now your just givin people ideas

[Flipzide]

I just clicked the traders rating for the first time. It reminds me of ebay, lol.

I cant wait for my first "A++++ WILL BUY AGAIN!", hahaha.

[RiversideS13]

now we can have a love and caring communities. and now finally someone don't just neg rep me because of "RIVERSIDE" or "951". trust me, i hated IE as much as you do

[downshift_sideways]

It doesn't take a genius to find that out.

[ESmorz]

And the abuse begins with ESmorz!

Oh it had already begun. Look around.

But I'm done. I know Brian is an awesomely reliable seller.

I will never contribute to anyones seller rating again unless I buy something. Which I won't because I don't have money.

No certainly people will be mature and not post retarded stuff... I HATE WHITE PEOPLE lolz j/p

Rb26 or the Srrrr20?

[Dirty Habit]

Damn. Everytime I leave this place for two days soething crazy goes down. Never even noticed till I checked out this thread.

Hmmmm.....Im gonna go hide in the premies section for awhile.

[jskateborders]

Eh, its w/e. I mean people are going to abuse this as well. IE giving itrader points or taking them away just as they would with the rep, even without a sale. You will always have people who are going to abuse any system that is set up. Im kinda curious to see how this one turns out however.
