Someone un-VIPped me?

Darkfinn · 26-06-2008

Umm... what happened? I'm not a VIP anymore?

Takashi · 26-06-2008

I noticed that with Incomplete Dude, he had 10 rep but was still a regular.

Darkfinn · 26-06-2008

Well... there is supposedly the "secret requirement" to be a VIP... and I was one until about 5 mins ago.

I see that all the other VIPs are still there.

What happened? Have I offended the powers that be in some way shape or form? Noone mentioned anything to me about it.

Such is life, I suppose.

There's been a lot of debate about the secret requirement. I'm not too fond of it (especially if it were based on personal opinion), but I accept it as it is.

Try reducing postage.

I maybe wrong. But I notice that there are more VIPs with less then 10 posts a day.

Someone had said that there was a ratio between good reps and bad. Remember your comment when you said something smelled like bull...t, and you thought you'd get negative repped and you did. Did the ratio play into your VIP standing?

Darkfinn · 26-06-2008

I doubt ratio has anything to do with it... I've got 40+ good... a few neutral... and 6 bad.

It doesn't really matter that much to me that I'm not considered a VIP anymore... I'd just like to know why.

Sorry to hear it.

But I really do doubt your going to find out why... unless it was a glitch.

That's what I believe it to be. However I cannot be certain. But yeah, it sucks.

Moo wanted to make it so that you can look back and see what you did. I personally don't know what it is that caused you to leave VIP status. But whatever it is, you are probably on the borderline of the limit (if there is one).

But I don't like talking about the secret requirement. Its like blasphemy! And a little rude in my opinion.

But I with Lukie in that I am not fond of it but glad that there isn't somone ticking off a list who can come in and who can't

I have full faith that this secret requirement makes more sense than meets the eye. However, if this particular re system is ever abandoned, I hope the requirement is then revealed.
