Wez Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I get the feeling I've been banished to the naughty step or something. Yesterday I had a community rating approaching 3800 but now it's just below 3300 - a loss of about 500. Have I done something wrong? Has anybody else noticed this or have I been given a reason to take it personally and become even more paranoid? Anything I should know about? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg B Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Recounted, so we all took a hit. Threads that have been culled, for sale and chat etc. (We clear out every so often) no longer count. Besides which, it’s the quality of your next post that you are gauged on 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG X Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I spoke to @Mike last night about this very subject - he's just had an operation and is finding it difficult to type, but did come back to me with the same answer - good man. It is exactly as @Greg B says - old chat threads that have been dormant for ages get binned after a while and the reactions go with them. But look on the bright side - the more reactions you lost - the more you must be liked Steve 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandsaw Steve Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 My God! It’s hit me too! 😱 Now I’m back below 4000 my wife might leave me! 😳 The bank might want to take the family home. 🥺 With less than 4000, people might mistake me for some sort of nerd! 🤓 Must go and find @CedB though. At one point he had more than 40,000 IIRC. This might have clipped his wings a little! 😏 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 No... just checked. He’s currently got 48,387 likes and has ‘won the day’ 331 times! 😳 I haven’t ‘Won the day’ even once! Not even when I finished AE2 after a years work! 😢 Still - I don’t care... I’m far too hard and street-wise and ‘with it’ to even notice stuff like that. Nahhhh I don’t care. Far too cool for that stuff me! 😎 yep.... I don’t care... 😔 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Vince - if you post in a lot of the chat threads then check your post count - you'll find it hasn't gone up - so... If they were never logged - they wouldn't be lost in the cull. It is mainly creating or responding to WIP & RFI threads that increase your post count. It's still a bit of a bummer though - I noticed one member has lost about 3000 'points' for want of a better word OUCH... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks BigX,i know the Chat threads don't count but was just curious as to why the post count hadn't moved because some of the threads in the RFI Aircraft/Figures and Dio's which i look at and reply to a fair bit must've been deleted from when i joined in 2015..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you posted it twice I gave you two likes to boost your score. Don't get too fond of them as they'll probably be splatted at the net cull. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gidday, being a relatively new member this may not have affected me much, and I've no idea what my rating was before I was aware of this issue. By Mr Bandsaw's definition above I currently rate about 1/7th of a nerd! 😯 Still, I guess that is better than 1/8th or 1/10th of a nerd (I think 🤭) 😁 Regards to all, Jeff. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Imagine if it happened to someone's Faceache account. Almost as bad as losing followers, or so I am led to believe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
