Title: What are the Forum "Turrets" for?
Post by: Deadbeat Engineer on June 26, 2010, 03:39:26 am
I really hope I don't get flamed b/c this seems like a dumb question, but I was wondering what they actually stand for.

I see most people with more negative turrets than positive, and I recently have +2/-0, and I really don't know what that means to begin with. Could somebody please explain? Thank you.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

It's a 'Trem-ified' Karma system.

Basically, the more negative turrets someone has, the more awesome they are.

Its a way of representing how much hate there is on the forums... ie majority of people have - than +.

You build a turret in his base.

Basically people who contribute things and are generally sensible posters have positive turrets.

People who spam and don't contribute much useful things, along with people who pissed off certain people have negative karma.

I can't see any kind of link for this. Do you have to reach some kind of post mark before you can do so?

It's still 300, same before you can do polls.

they are for nothing. just a funny 'lil tool that the forum creators put in to add some life  ::)
basically, they are like karma, or kudos. when you add a turret, that means you like that person. when you take one away, it means you don't. but, knowing the trem community, things will be backwards..
