I like TP's more too. Regardless of the fact that the system is 'abused', a higher TP-ratio ultimately means, in my opinion, the poster has half a brain


The ratio means little since as others have posted, many long time posters have lost all the TPs in the past on Celtics winning in the playoffs. 


Heck, look at this list (which took place before TP-gate)

TP Gate? I assume the duplicate accounts??

I've only had two accounts. 1 back on the old site and 1 on here.

I probably shouldn't even talk about this, but we elite posters have a completely different stat to determine prestige. 

It's called the Celticsblog Worth Aggregate, and it's based on a set of intricate criteria that isn't worth getting into because regular posters (we call you "normies") can't even see the numbers.  Which is good because, to be honest, most folks' CWAG is awfully low these days.

Neither.

Stars mark volume, and nothing more.  Maybe longevity, but that's about it.

TPs are trivial, and while they were originally meant to mark a "hat tip" for good posts, they've morphed into currency in CelticsBlog games, and a fun thing that became way too competitive.  As soon as I heard the first allegations of members creating duplicate accounts to reward themselves and "TP cliques" where people would reward their friends as much as possible in a quid pro quo system, it was pretty apparent that TPs had jumped the proverbial shark.

My advice would be to focus on the quality of a poster's arguments, rather than the number of stars or TPs next to their name.


There was also the great TP massacre that was Game 7 in 2010. I waffled n whether or not to gamble them and finally did, I'm half-convinced I jinxed the team.

I also like the idea of something being prestigious on Celticsblog.

I like CWAG as an advanced metric, but it lends its self too much to inflation with low-volume posters. Sure, a guy who posts 2-3 times a day, if 1.3 posts per day (roughly 9 per week) are insightful, his CWAG is going to be close to the top 10% on the blog. But what people don't realize is that high volume posters like mods, or people without anything better to do, we're posting 13, 15 posts a day, but atleast 25-30% of those posts are blog-related, or fart jokes. So our CWAG looks pedestrian.

I personally like ZARP as a metric (zingers above replacement posts). That way, we're all on equal footing.

An 18th banner would be prestigious. Seeing KG and Paul Pierce make the prestigious Heal of Fame would be great. An MVP or finals MVP would be prestigious.

This is an internet site. Getting stars or TPs is meaningless.

I go by a couple rules here:

1. Try to be respectful to everyone(something my suspensions can attest to that I haven't always done but I do try like heck).

2. Try to bring something to the conversation.

3. Try to be informative or entertaining.

4. Try to be interesting.

If in doing that you get a star every 1000 posts, great. If in doing that people give you TPs, then thank you for the TPs, but both are just worthless symbols at an internet site.

There's a case to be made either way but I like the system where touting one's CWAG inevitably reduces it.  ZARP can get way too meta - I've noticed when I post with my rainbow suspenders on pretty much everything counts.  And there are rumors that certain posters hit a bike horn after every sentence to boost their numbers.

That got a very loud chuckle out of me. Just the implications of rainbow suspenders. Good stuff. Very nice.

I like TP's more too. Regardless of the fact that the system is 'abused', a higher TP-ratio ultimately means, in my opinion, the poster has half a brain


The ratio means little since as others have posted, many long time posters have lost all the TPs in the past on Celtics winning in the playoffs. 


Heck, look at this list (which took place before TP-gate)

I had forgotten about those bets to win it all. I think I lost somewhere about 2500 TPs in those bets. I haven't lost that much since that really bad night at the Seminole Casino. LOL ;) ;D

  • You ain't the boss of the freakin' bedclothes.
B-T-Dubs, guys, I'm about to hit 32 stars. When you do that, they name a sub-forum after you. Not like a fancy one, but one of the less used ones.

Why is this even a question?  Which is better: to be funny and/or make consistently smart points that enhance the overall quality of the board - or - sit around for a long time watching everyone else make posts like that while ostensibly making less insightful posts on average?  Anybody who says stars should just pack up and start posting at Reddit full time.

Sorry I take that back.  I wouldn't wish Reddit on any Celtics fans.  That was low and again, I"m sorry

B-T-Dubs, guys, I'm about to hit 32 stars. When you do that, they name a sub-forum after you. Not like a fancy one, but one of the less used ones.
Its called the "Get A Life" forum and is littered with complaints from wives and girlfriends of long time posters.
