Heck Yes I Do!!!
No, all it does it cause problems
NP i would be happy the background is a nice blue instead of blinding white light burning my retinas
No thanks. Things here are going great. Let's keep it that way.
I also thought the poll should have been yes or no. Let's take a stand and put this issue to bed one way or another.
There is another board - I cant remember whether it was the Mane or the graphics board (there is a link on BM) but they gave out points or something like points and the more you got the more of these little cool icons you got to pick from "the store" it was kinda like money- but the icons were all major sports teams, beer, drinks, a bunch of stuff and you had to pay so much to get one and to get the money you would have to get "points/dollars" from other members for your posts - so that way you can still hand out "gifts" but it doesnt have to be a ladder climbing contest to get into certain areas or to have certain capabilities
The icons get displayed under your user name - i thought it was cool - they had 420 related ones too
I think the results of this poll should be enough

I voted 'no' on cps.
I'm all for rating threads/posts, and perhaps one idea someone had (sorry I cannot remember who now), that offered an idea from another board where you get icons.
Definitely "NO" on cp's.
it was me it was me
I think its a good idea cause all you get is prizes (in the form of icons) I know the more icons you have the more "popular" you are but it gets rid of all the special forum thing and all the extras for reaching a certain point
Lets make a poll about this?
This board is fine without CPs, but I think it would be fun to implement something different if we could find something that everyone could agree on.

THIS ONES FOR JOHNWOULD YOU RATHER WIN UGLY, OR LOSE PRETTY?
Sure, make a thread with a poll about the icons vs cps.
Also, another good thing is you can't receive negative icons....right?
God knows we don't need to here whining about getting negged. That was a good idea you posted about. It will be interested in knowing if anyone else would like the idea too. Go make your thread OB! I'll be your first voter!
We'll be implementing a system with rules, we (advisory board) is in the process of discussing that. We are taking our time and it's hard to get us all on here at one time to discuss it. There's many, many details to consider. There's also liabilities to be considered, which most posters probably don't really think too much about, or perhaps even care too much about (possibly).
I did the CP bet one time.....and I was being foolish. I bet against the Sooners for NE Cornhuskers. Remember that last fall? *smacking self* However, it gave me a good idea of just exactly how lame those bets were and the poster frenzy over retrieving the cps they won. There were way too many that reminded me of screaming girls at a hot concert. I think that aided in depleting the whole idea of the cp system, and watched the arguments from those ---- yowzer!
If a CP system were used to acknowledge good, thought out, analytical posts without the use of "CP Bets" and other stupid stuff that goes on at BM, I might be for it. But, the problem is that as this site grows and more people join, that stuff is bound to be a problem.
Negs should be given by mods only for posts that violate the COC, not by posters who earn enough CP and just give a neg for something that was said that they disagree with.
If any thread turns in to a CP Bet, it should be deleted.
CP HAVE to be signed by the person giving them.
A ranking system like at BM should not be used. It gives incentive (sp?) to a "good ole boys club". Granted, even at BM I always got CP from mostly the same people who already had WAY more than I did and it helped me to get 10 bars in just more than a year, but that's not what I'm about and that's probably not what most of us are about.
If we use a CP system, the intent should be to reward good posters with points so that other posters here, whether it be vets of the board or new comers, know who to turn to with questions or what ever.
I would hate to see a CP system turn in to a competition like it is over at BM because to me that isn't what it should be about...

I am for a CP system One that can be turned off for anyone that don't want it. I don't like the idea of having forums locked off for new members. But I want a reputation system. I also don't see what is wrong with having points you can bet with? We can have board contribution points and bet reputation points.
We can use the board contribution points to give to those who contribute to the board with good post's, making other board member's sig's. stuff like that. We can use the bet points for those who win in bets, pickum games and that sort of thing.
I wrote a lot about this in another thread. If this is going to be the official thread then I will repost it here.
Also, I just found the Religious and politics forums so I don't want a neggy system at all! The neggy system will only lead to trouble!
Since this thread was created, it would be good if we restricted all CP ideas/talks to only this one, so that we don't miss anything. Even if you responded in the other CP/Reputation threads, chime in again here, so it is all in one place.
I know some systems that other boards have used have been talked about. Short term, we may or may not be able to implement anything that isn't right 'out of the box' in terms of a CP system. I would have to look at it. The 'out of the box' sytem is going to be pretty much along the lines of what the Mane has, based on what I know now.
I look forward to reading more discussion about the pros and cons.
