Woah.

That's odd.
Well whatever we've done seems to have fixed our overload issues, so I guess this means you can keep watching your favorite topics and we finally have our space!

I'm very sorry for the loss of your threads. Unfortunately, I don't think we can bring them back. As you can see our team biographies have also been wiped.
I do apologize, next time one of the administrators does a forum purge, we will make sure they'll be more careful.

lurk852 is right, karma wouldn't have affected the trolls in anyway. Please report trolls, spammers, etc.

Due to the fact all the e-mails that accumulate in our inbox take up too much space.

Well since karma got brought up again, I'll reset the poll and see what the results are again.
I'd appreciate some thoughtful feedback to support your votes.

I wasn't implying it to be a fault on the staff's behalf, I was just pointing out the truth of it. As much as I wish people would merely reward quality when they see it, that's not going to be the case. There really isn't anything that can be done to improve the system, per-say. All you can really do is put faith in the userbase.
Yeah, you're right.

I will not be making karma public for everyone to see.
Administrators and moderators (I think) are the only ones who have access to view everypony's karma.
I'm giving the Karma system at least a week before deciding to take it down or not.
The whole goal was that reputation was given when someone posts something of good quality. If this doesn't work out, then we'll start lowering people's karma and eventually disabling the system altogether.
It's really just a test.
I see where everyone's coming from about the whole "elite" groups thing, but I've seen a couple of forums where this same karma system worked very well.
Then again, everyone seems too friendly to be giving negative karma when someone deserves it, which may be another problem.
I dunno, we'll see.

Some changes have been made for the Karma System.
Your second star comes once you get 2,000 karma points and every 1,000 points from then on gets you another star.
This may make things more challenging, but the whole point of the karma system was to better achieve higher quality posts and to lessen spam, not just to get shiny stars.
Any abuse of the system will result in a -5,000 karma total! Enjoy!

I've updated the first post with a bit of information about the powers. It's basically how much effect you have on another person's karma.
So those with high karma will have more effect on when they give someone karma.

Do give us a minute, we're trying to reset everyone's post karma to be the same.
Turns out some people have zero and a few have a hundred.
There we go, now everyone has 50 karma.
Thanks, cerebrate.

Hello everyone!
A recent discussion has lead us to getting rid of badges and titles for your post count. We feel that it should be quality not quantity.
In replacement of post counts giving you titles we now have a karma system!
We're still testing this feature, so please voice your thoughts and concerns in this thread.
In order to see what karma you've received, try going to your profile » Profile Info » "View Reputation"
If you cannot see this please inform us, as we're testing this feature and want to make sure it works properly.
If everything goes well, we will be removing post count badges.
Sending reputation:
To send reputation, click on the little (magic wand) under a person's avatar. Then you have to option to "Agree" and give them positive karma, or "Disagree" and give them negative karma. You don't necessarily have to agree with what they're saying to give somepony positive karma, as long as you like their post or think it's a good post, giving them positive karma will increase their reputation and in turn help them give others fair reputations!
Existing members all got 50 karma.
New forum members will get 25 karma.
Karma goes up or down by five points for every post. Each time you give someone karma, you must give three other people karma before giving that same person karma again.
Reputation Powers are given for every 100 reputation points you earn. It's just another symbol of your karma. The higher your reputation power, the more effect you have when you give another pony karma points.
You will gain another star for every 1,000 karma points you earn after you earn 2,000 karma points.
Hover over each your stars to see your special "title."
Hope you enjoy and post here if you find any issues with the system!

News Archive / Legends of Equestria - Statement
2012 Mar 19, 20:13:00Statement from the ex-development team of Equestria Online
Okay, we've gotten this request. We've read the comments and heard the demand to know what happened on the other side of the story. At first, it was our intention to keep this matter private, since it had nothing to do with the production of the game and we wanted to stay professional about the matter. But since the outpouring of sentiments about the current status and future of the project, we feel we owe you an explanation.
First, just let us explain: none of us wished for the outcome that happened, but this statement will hopefully make you realise that there was no other option.
While RainDrop was away in school our team leader for PR and Business (SweBow) took over somewhat as team leader. He started to build up a democratic way to control the project that allowed everyone to have a say (3D team, Audio Team, 2D team, etc.), by allowing their team leaders to be able to bring up their questions to the rest of the team leaders at weekly meetings on Fridays. We then started to develop a Code of Conduct/NDA. This paper not only said that the project was allowed to use your files if you left, but it also protected you as the creator of the work. It stated you still owned your work, and you were protected so that no team leader could single-handedly kick you off for no good reason, but in fact needed the majority vote of the Team Leaders to get removed. The team member who might be getting a kick had all rights to appeal a decision like this. It never happened, no team leader ever had to implement a kick after the Code of Conduct was proclaimed.
Now, lets go on with the explanation now that you've got a bit of the background story.
What caused the split of the development team was actually about the Code of Conduct. RainDrop wanted absolute power since he founded the project. We wanted to continue with the democratic way of handling things as we had done the last six months while RainDrop was gone - something that had worked out in our favor for the project as whole.
But what do you mean by absolute power? To explain it simply, everything created, developed, coded or whatnot would become his. We, as the development team, wouldn't get any say about our assets. RainDrop refused to agree with the Code of Conduct even though we asked for his input during the development process. So he was aware of the Code of Conduct and what it meant long before last week.
Some have pointed out that since he started the project, it is his to do with as he pleases.
We agree. That's why we now have parted ways. He is left with the project as it was before September. Anything that was created by team members now affiliated with LoE is no longer part of EO.
99% of the team has left to continue a new 3D Pony MMO. We did so with great reluctance.
None of us wished this would happen, none of us wanted this to end like it did. We tried to compromise, we tried to find an agreement (several times, in fact) but there was none to be found. Therefore, the Team Leaders acted as any good leader would. We acted to protect our team members' assets and time they put into the creation of the game. We gave all of our members the full story and notified them of our intent to form a new project. None were forced. They all left of their own free will, for the same reasons we did.
As a final note, we'd like to ask everyone to please not spread rumors, speculation or lies about what happened. We have no ill will toward EO or RainDrop. We do not wish either party to have to deal with any negativity as a result of this.
Thank you for your patience and we hope to see you at www.legendsofequestria.com

Haha, enjoy.
Since they're GIFs, they're not as high quality as the PNGs of the same ones. Hopefully later today I'll be able to input PNG smileys somehow.
Meanwhile hope you enjoy having your smileys back.
