The Community Rep rank is no more...

[krunktastic]

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.

We understand that some of you have lived up to your end 100%. To those, we say THANK YOU.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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).
