But it does, in terms of unlocking customization perks.

I'm talking about upvotes and downvotes here. Pretty obvious

And those play into whether you unlock the customization (On top of just being active).

Unless you want us to set post requirements to unlock it. In which case, I don't care.

But the post requirement is the unlock at this point

No one hits Legendary before 3000 posts. No one

The upvotes and downvotes literally have no effect on the system

Legendary is the only one with a post requirement however, and you still need a solid amount of upvotes to get it - even with 3000 posts. The up/downvotes are heavier factors for the other tiers.

I wasn't an asshole when I was a mod because I couldn't be

Fair enough.

Karma has no effect? Look at Dustin, who posted in this thread. He has more than enough posts to qualify and he's active enough to claim Legend status, so why doesn't he have it?

It's because the karma system has an effect on your trust title.

Pro tip: upvotes get you there faster too. It's possible to rank up without them, but it's like grinding in Destiny. A very slow process.

And it shouldn't.

What is your argument against the karma/trust system playing into your title?

There's no point in even arguing because I'm the only one who's abused by the system. I never spam yet all the spammers don't get the down votes I get. I don't go on giant insulting rants (I return fire but I never shoot first) but they never get the down votes I get.

This thread for example. Out of no where Rocketman and Nexus try and start an argument, literally out of no where, and then all of a sudden like three or four other people try and hop on the hate traint. Now I'm honestly not bothered by their insults, the majority of these people are losers but the point is that they have been abusing the trust system as another outlet to harass me.

Karma (good or bad) doesn't come from breaking the rules. It's more of the community's view and ranking of you in comparison to the rest. If your trust/karma is low, that means the community doesn't approve of your posts in general.

I don't see how this is a bad thing. Look at you: you're still Heroic. You're not ranked all the way down but you're also not as high as you could be, which is the system working as designed.

You would have had an argument a few months ago, when the trust system was still unstable, but it's pretty damn accurate now.

How does "LOL" qualify as starting an argument? I simply thought someone's comment was humorous, and I reacted to that. Then you post this:

It's funny because you know you can't say shit to me without getting your THIRD warning for harassing me so you have to rely off the scraps of other users to try and get a rise out of me.

You assumed I was insulting you directly( I wasn't even talking to you) and overreacted.
Get your facts straight bub. After that the argument consisted of you, Nexus, and midget. I played no part in that.

Because you have a long history of harassment towards me, multiple warnings, and your doing a piss poor job as a monitor by endorsing this kind of behavior.

I'm not harassing you Dustin. Commenting in a thread you made, or quoting you occasionally isn't stalking you.
Now if I sent you PM after PM, posted in ALL of your threads all the time, and insulted you.......I'd call that harassment.

And those warnings were informal. I was told to give you space, and I have.
And where did I "endorse" this behavior? I report comments that break the rules, INCLUDING the ones targeting you in that thread.

But once again, give the mods proof of my harassment instead of just saying you are being harassed.
They asked for proof >_>

That's not even the issue. There are mods here for a reason; you don't get off the hook because someone else started it.

If you participate and perpetuate the problem, then you're subject to moderation as well.

Then I'd love to see a staff member actually step in and say something about it. Just a simple "no antagonizing other users". I don't need Rocketman liking every post he sees that insults me in some manner or another.

I'm not aware of any incident that went without warnings (official or verbal), especially if it was reported. If you'd like to PM me details or links to those incidents instead of these sweeping generalizations, I'll look into them for you.
