The Community Rep rank is no more...

The Community Rep status is available no longer.

The Community Rep rank has been through a lot of peaks and valleys during its existence and it’s now time to do away with it.

As a staff, we have been through numerous discussions regarding the pros and cons of the rank. Everything from keeping the peace with trackers and finding some common ground that we could all be happy with, to dealing with a few bad seeds over the years which had no intentions of upholding their end of the agreements.

We had originally hoped that every CR would abide by the agreements which were offered to each and keeping up with assurances would not be an issue, though regretfully it has become one. With the surge of growth in new trackers in the past year, we have amassed al ot of CR’s, and the instances in which we must intervene and remind CR’s of said guidelines is mounting. We felt if there was a time to remove the CR rank, this was as good a time as any.

We understand that some of you have lived up to your end 100%. To those, we say THANK YOU. We are still committed to supporting trackers needs as we’ve always done. In the future we will most likely create a new rank which will be given much more selectively to a few staffers who are considered an asset to the site and have proven their good will over time.

Gr8 job mate :)
ok.we will see wht comes next........

good move skizo. i agree that since I've joined I noticed some community reps being helpful, but for the most part they were arrogant and unhelpful.

well most of them was inactive here..so yea i can understand this move

One of the newest comm reps did not deserve HIS title at all. I guess FST has their reasons for doing away with comm reps, in place for a better noteworthy system in the near future.

I hope the new system works out for the staff and having my CR title removed wont change me one bit, since I will always try to contribute here because I like this forum and not because of the title I hold.

Great thing to do. But the reps that were good should be given some identity like a title or so just my personal opinion.

Titles aren't important. Its the contributions and helpfulness they provided here that is. They can still do this, and if/when fst decides on a new 'rank' the ones still doing this will be found.

iTS ruins everything

i guess that includes that all tracker accounts are allowed to trade now, right?

I agree with the decision about this, and I'll continue to use this forum exactly the same way. Being a community rep did not change a single thing about attitude towards this forum.

And I'm sure most members would like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU as well, there are those that were (and prob will still be) helpful to members with their probs, no matter how tiresome or how how small that problem was. And considering most PMs in their box were "giz an invite" type, it could not have been easy at times. Well done.

Good news indeed.

good riddance

never liked the whole com rep thingy =/

especially coz of the way it was designed "account trading = bad; invite trading = okay".

FST rules never were fully able to prevent account trading for those site that had CR...and neither some CR stopped banning users for invite trading

but now it's much better

everyone can do w/e they want

You better get all your accounts ready because there's going to be a big trade rush and you don't want to miss out polarbear!

Good decision!
Community rep is'nt so good anyways.

somehow i had seen something like this happening. it had to be done after what has happened recently. a new rank is also an excellent idea. there have been some CRs here who have been extremely helpful and do deserve some kind of special status

Your exactly the type of people we need and if It was on record I could give two shits about the community rep rank . I either like a member and his post or disregard it . ;)

I agree with the decision about this coz many members here give reps each others with nothing.

FSC reps are a prime example of great reps that are helpful and contribute. I won't speak about some others that are unhelpful and unworthy of their Comm rep title (Actually was i should say).

I think you have a misunderstanding since FST don't plan to remove the rep points given by the user.

What they mean is that staffers from various sites will no longer have the title of Community Rep and the stars that go along with them plus some other things that FST did for trackers.

@grimms
Thanks for the nice comment, but like I said on my first post a title don't mean nothing and it wont change who I am or how I go about doing things.

It's the likes of the above thats really great to hear and respect to you guy's. I agree with FST's decision totally as in the last month or a little more some "things" were getting somewhat annoying in certain circumstances.
I'll look forward to seeing the new system.

well spoken DKre8ive1. you never need a tag to help the community and im really glad that there are a few ex-CRs (:P) who will not be affected by this move in anyway and will continue with the good work. we respect and love you guys for what you do and not for the stars under your name :yup:

I also agree. Titles don't mean anything to me either(never did). I don't care if your a boss, supervisor, or an administrator. What IS important is the respect factor that needs to be shown if that boss or supervisor deserves it and also following rules and orders that fit your job description (and beyond, that always helps). In your case though, i see you help a lot of people out regardless of your title. Same with DV8type. I recognize good helpful people regardless of their title. But i'm glad your built with that state of mind.;)

lol no one knows what he mean:wacko:

ah well easy come easy go i suppose lol

Very short stint at it and did not really have enough time to say if it was a good/bad thing in all honesty, but i will still do whatever i was doing before and after i got CR on here.

/thinking out loud/
Hope i wasnt one of the new bad ones that grimms is on about, as i didnt realy have any time to do anything with the rank, not that i could see any benefit in actually having it really. I still got loads of PMs asking for an account lol

stoi , that was fast lol

Nothing further, your honor. :yup:

After reading a lot of posts, I have nothing but great words about how helpful and kind, some of the CR can be... *coughs* Stoi. ;) :D

Does this mean the (ex) Com.Reps can pawn all the trader bit-tards then. :unsure:

What next an invite selling stock-exchange.
Drugs for invites.
Sex for accounts. :unsure:

My bad. Didn't read it carefully enough. I though they had removed the Rep points too.

Cause if there are no rep points to give, i think that more than 50% of all the giveaways would never been made. Most people who are giving away invites are doing it to get a ''higher rank'' or how to call it. More ''status''. I'm not saying that everyone are doing it because of that. But the majority... But hey, that's just the impression I get.

there was some deserve to be in The Community Rep (and those relly dont care or its dosent matter if there is Community Rep or not) and the others dosent deserve it they relly abused it (and u will find out they are the only ones who relly pissed off)

but its nice move though indeed !

Fuck, now I'm never gonna get five stars.
