Do You Like The New Fan IQ?
The comments I have seen so far haven't been too positive, so I thought I would do a poll to see what everybody is thinking and what they are going to do.? Are you staying or leaving, and please include your thoughts about it!

When I first joined in June I fell in love with this site, I honestly cant say that I still feel that way, I do not like the changes that have been made will I stay I honestly cant tell you that right now, I love my friends that I have made on here and I do not want to loose touch with them.. Oh I know everyone is going to like the Q bucks but I am not that impressed only because they took away the things that I loved about being on here they could have taken away the PQ and left the smart and funny, and not given us a limit of only 10 so called respect I liked to be able to tell someone that what they did made me laugh, being able to laugh is something that is so important today with what is going on in our world.. If I do decide to stay I hope they dont keep on making these changes if its not broken dont fix it but you wanted my opinion that is Sassy's two cents worth

I feel like every 2 weeks there's some kind of update and i get completely lost all over again. By this time next month you'll probably see something new again.

 Personally it's too early to tell, but from what I have seen so far, I'm not very happy with it!    I particularly don't like the thumbs up removed to be replaced with 10 points of respect per day! I haven't explored it yet fully, however I thought our previous rank & points were supposed to be posted on our Home Page? I'll wait to hear from others and maybe we can discuss it?

NO!  I have tried looking around, taking quizzes & trivia and went to the fantasy site.  I do not like it at all! If they want fantasy games then just bring back the old Q and add Fantasy Games to it.  This is ridiculous.  I am not happy at all right now.  I never thought I would see the day when I didn't look forward to logging on to the Q, but today was one of them!

As someone who has been here from year one. I have to honestly say this is the biggest overhaul the site has gone through. It may be a little intimidating to people at first, but as always change will grow on us. Plus we have a plethora of outstanding MODS and leadership here willing to help answer any any questions and make this adjustment as smooth as possible.

Try logging out. If you gave 10+ accolades yesterday before the changeover then you were unable to give respect until midnight, from what I understand.

NO.  There should be more than one accolode option. "Respect is way to vague and doesnt fit in the locker room.
#23 | 20 days ago

Can't say that I am happy with it.  No sir, no sir, not at all.

I don't do fantasy sports things ... whatever the heck that is. 

Thanks for the reward of fake money .... maybe throw it in an interest bearing account and let me change it for real money and I'll actually take another look at it.

So I can only reward, agree, thumb up,disagree  have respect for 10 posts all day?   Use them wisely it says. Hmm, guess they won't be used at all then. Who knows, the next post I read might be more worthy of my respect than the last one, so I better hang on to them. Don't hold your breath expecting respect from me. It isn't personal you see. But there is only so much respect to go around and I can't be seen wielding it willy nilly. That might be disrespectful you know.

I wouldn't have a problem with users 'earning' accolades to give.  I agree that accolades were given too freely, especially in the LR. 

That being said, it's nice to be able to tell someone what you thought of their contribution. 

Here's the rub, the accolades issue is going to affect the locker room more than anything else.  Sure it will affect the quizzes and trivia a little too, I used to get several tu's for trivia questions, and probably won't now.

I'm not sure that the people who've made the decision understand the draw of the LR and how important the accolades are to people who contribute.  Even some of the polls are designed for their use.  If you go to game pages and articles you'll notice accolades aren't/weren't used that often at all, compared to the LR.  So there is a major disconnect I'm afraid.

So for the content directly related to sports, I think the changes are great.  It'll be neat to see it all unfold.  For the locker room though, the changes are not good, and as a result the locker room will probably die a slow death.

#32 | 20 days ago

NO... for a number of reasons.
1. I don not like ONLY 10 acknowledgements per day.
2. I do not like that RESPECT is the ONLY accolade you can give and personally I do NOT like using the term RESPECT for a website comment acknowledgement.
3. With the new response choices, it seems alot of the interaction and FUN has gone out of the Q.
4. am NOT a Fantasy geek so the site is getting further and further away from what I like about it and use it for.
5. The PM box has been removed from the first message box to another Q member. (Has anyone else noticed this?)
6. The site seems SLOW again!!! Very sluggish response time.

Yup.  That is the crux of it.  We where used to being able to interact with others. Now ... well.... we have to PAY to interact?  I do not think so. No sir. Not gonna happen.  

This will drive me away from the Q.  They just stripped the 'social' right out of 'social network.'   It isn't going to work.

He's right, isn't he?  And don't leave Gina, it'll work itself out, I have to believe in that.


It is clear to me that one of the draws for people were the accolades. They were like crack that kept us coming back and we (at least me) like to see who thought what was funny or smart. I also enjoyed handing it out, especially when I thought something was funny. Now we're all going through withdrawal. Hopefully we can just find our new crack on here.

On a serious note, I believe the idea was by having so many of them to hand out they were wasted and just anything was praised. Now I think the belief is, only the very best will get accolades because people will be much more choosey and in turn that will only bring out the best stuff. Quality over quantity, however with the crack issue, I think we'll just have that many more posts with folks having to make a post when they think something is funny or smart. At least until the withdrawal is over.

I accidentally gave you a "respect" for that comment. I was flipping between tabs and clicked when I didn't mean to...   No disrespect intended for not wanting to give you a "respect"... I just don't see the locker room dying a quick death...

Anyway, here are my thoughts on the new season...

1. Give it a chance.
I know there are things we don't like, but I have found that generally speaking, people are resistant to change. Just like the last change, you will get used to it.
2. Don't refuse to give out "respects" just because you might run out.

If you get a good laugh over something, let them know! Yes, you might run out, but over a few days, you will start thinking about what you really enjoy, and what was just a witty little comeback or profound thought. You will learn to space out your respects. Plus, if you find something good that really deserves respect after you have used all 10 of yours, bookmark it and acknowledge it the next day.
3. Ask yourself what you are truly here for!
If your main focus on this site is sports articles, predictions, and trivia, then use most of your respects in those areas. If your main focus is locker room polls and friends, then use most of your respects for that. I would certainly hope that no one is offended when they don't get a respect for making simple comments like Happy Birthday! (On a side note, I always found it amusing in a way when I would tell someone Happy Birthday in a poll and I got 35 "smarts" for it... but when I made a comment under something serious or sports related that took a lot of thought, I would be lucky to earn 3 thumbs!)
4. Replying with accolades instead of giving respect... good idea or not??
I personally think replying to a comment with another comment is fine if you really want to emphasize strong feelings about it. Especially if you have run out of respects to give for the day. I personally wouldn't over-use it just to give a thumbs up, as the polls will become cluttered. (Just my humble opinion.) PM's and shout-outs are good for giving thumbs, too.
5. Suggest specific changes to mods if you truly think it will benefit the site.
If the majority of people have similar opinions about certain aspects of the site, I'm sure the mods will take notice. I agree with everyone who has said 10 respects isn't enough, but it hasn't even been 24 hours since the change, so I'm not going to voice the matter to a mod until I use the site over a period of days, weeks, maybe even a month. The changes were put into place for a reason, and as with everything in life, not all parties will be happy with every aspect of this site. But give it time and see how it goes. Then if you are still convinced that a change is necessary, tell a mod. (Hoping mods don't get blasted with PM's and place blame on me...)
6.) DON'T LEAVE!
There are a lot of good relationships on here, and a lot of witty and charismatic people. You may not enjoy everything about the site as you had in the past, but these people won't become LESS WITTY or LESS ENJOYABLE! The interaction on here is what gives me most of my laughs for the day! If I closed my account, I can guarantee I would never find anything comparable elsewhere. I enjoy the people here and I hope you all stick around!!

I haven't had a lot of time to explore Season 2 yet. I am leaning towards leaving at this point, but am gonna spend pretty much the entire weekend on here. At least when I am not sleeping, watching ND and watching Dallas. If I am still lost and haven't come to like the new season come Monday morning, I will be deleting my account.

The biggest thing is this Respect BS. 10 is way too few, either give us more or marry the respect with the old system. Why do I have to respect a poll? Why can't I simply "like it"? Why do I have to respect a comment? Why can't it be smart, funny, or bold? I can tell you that at this moment right now, I don't respect Season 2.

I am intrigued by the fantasy, but don't understand the point of Q bucks. Let's say I go on a losing streak and lose the Q bucks I started out with. How do I earn more? If I have no Q bucks, then how do I wager them on fantasy to try to earn more.

(On a side note, I always found it amusing in a way when I would tell someone Happy Birthday in a poll and I got 35 "smarts" for it... but when I made a comment under something serious or sports related that took a lot of thought, I would be lucky to earn 3 thumbs!)
4. Replying with accolades instead of giving respect... good idea or not??
I personally think replying to a comment with another comment is fine if you really want to emphasize strong feelings about it. Especially if you have run out of respects to give for the day. I personally wouldn't over-use it just to give a thumbs up, as the polls will become cluttered. (Just my humble opinion.) PM's and shout-outs are good for giving thumbs, too.
5. Suggest specific changes to mods if you truly think it will benefit the site.
If the majority of people have similar opinions about certain aspects of the site, I'm sure the mods will take notice. I agree with everyone who has said 10 respects isn't enough, but it hasn't even been 24 hours since the change, so I'm not going to voice the matter to a mod until I use the site over a period of days, weeks, maybe even a month. The changes were put into place for a reason, and as with everything in life, not all parties will be happy with every aspect of this site. But give it time and see how it goes. Then if you are still convinced that a change is necessary, tell a mod. (Hoping mods don't get blasted with PM's and place blame on me...)
6.) DON'T LEAVE!
There are a lot of good relationships on here, and a lot of witty and charismatic people. You may not enjoy everything about the site as you had in the past, but these people won't become LESS WITTY or LESS ENJOYABLE! The interaction on here is what gives me most of my laughs for the day! If I closed my account, I can guarantee I would never find anything comparable elsewhere. I enjoy the people here and I hope you all stick around!!

Why could they just ask us what we wanted then put in together to see if we liked it or not "TRIAL " they let you do that with stuff that you order on TV & internet. Sounds like this is pushing more away from Faniq than bringing more in.The more I go to polls with this
Season 2 - the more I want Season 1 BACK !!!

IMO... It is blantantly obvious that the key administrators of FanIQ DO NOT care for the Locker Room, DO NOT want the Locker Room as part of "their" site and are attempting to slowly inject new modifications that will allow the Locker Room to die a slow death. They would kill it all together immediately but they fear it would cause the loss of SOME members that they really want to be part of and will participate in "their" preferred features on FanIQ (Fantasy Features).
I would be STUNNED if the Locker Room still exists in 6 months.

p.s.    Additionally, If I am ever asked or expected to pay for anything on here .... Im gone. FREE or CYA Later. I give a BIG THUMBS DOWN and a PQ to the Season 2 changes and the direction the FanIQ administrators are taking the site!!!

I feel like I've commented on Season 2 about 28 times already in the past 24 hours!
The abridged version:
 to Q-Bucks and gifts (although I'm certainly not going to buy more when I run out).
 to the new Fantasy League stuff ... I don't personally think I'll use them, but people seem happy about it and it's not causing me a headache, so whatever.
 to loss of accolades and this new "respect" thing.
 to only having 10 "respect" to give out per day.

On a final note, I do understand that a lot of people were giving out accolades for silly things at times.  However, is it really THAT bad that people were showing others that they liked and appreciated their feedback on a poll, no matter how ridiculous some people may think that comment is?  Sometimes all it takes is a "reply to comment" and a  top make me laugh and give someone a "funny".  Also, I know for me, I tend to post more often when I know that others are actually enjoying and appreciating my posts (some of you may not be thrilled that I posted more, but whatever ... bite me  lol).  I think that people will, overall, become less likely to participate if they don't get that feedback and sense of camaraderie with the other members of the Q that accolades helped provide.
#72 | 20 days ago

Holy Crap it feels like I belong to 2 Facebooks now. I still cant figure out either one at times and this new Season 2 isn't helping matters. I really enjoyed this when I first joined 8 months ago and looked forward to getting on the Q everyday to see my new friends but this is more of a chore now instead of enjoyment. Might have to say see ya round soon .

#74 and i would say taking the elevator down i stopped and read some of the comments and i will have to agree with the majority that season 1 was the more enjoyable one. we came in to see what our new friends had to say about what happened the night before or during the day!!! but now you have to be computer guru to get though some of the sites on here now,if you take the fun out of the experience you customers will walk down the street and try the new kid...... i trully believe that is what will happen here,,,,,i will give it a month of leaning all the bells and whistles then reconvene on my decision at that point...... good luck everyone

I have been here for about three weeks and was really having fun.. But now it seems like WORK.. The fun has been taken away.. I liked reading comments and giving my input.. I would spend hours on here every day.. Now there is nothing to do.. The fun is gone.. I read comments I like but I used up all my RESPECTS yesterday in about ten minutes. Oh well, maybe I will get some work done now, because I will not be on here as much...

Anyway, here are my thoughts on the new season...

1. Give it a chance.
I know there are things we don't like, but I have found that generally speaking, people are resistant to change. Just like the last change, you will get used to it.
2. Don't refuse to give out "respects" just because you might run out.

If you get a good laugh over something, let them know! Yes, you might run out, but over a few days, you will start thinking about what you really enjoy, and what was just a witty little comeback or profound thought. You will learn to space out your respects. Plus, if you find something good that really deserves respect after you have used all 10 of yours, bookmark it and acknowledge it the next day.
3. Ask yourself what you are truly here for!
If your main focus on this site is sports articles, predictions, and trivia, then use most of your respects in those areas. If your main focus is locker room polls and friends, then use most of your respects for that. I would certainly hope that no one is offended when they don't get a respect for making simple comments like Happy Birthday! (On a side note, I always found it amusing in a way when I would tell someone Happy Birthday in a poll and I got 35 "smarts" for it... but when I made a comment under something serious or sports related that took a lot of thought, I would be lucky to earn 3 thumbs!)
4. Replying with accolades instead of giving respect... good idea or not??
I personally think replying to a comment with another comment is fine if you really want to emphasize strong feelings about it. Especially if you have run out of respects to give for the day. I personally wouldn't over-use it just to give a thumbs up, as the polls will become cluttered. (Just my humble opinion.) PM's and shout-outs are good for giving thumbs, too.
5. Suggest specific changes to mods if you truly think it will benefit the site.
If the majority of people have similar opinions about certain aspects of the site, I'm sure the mods will take notice. I agree with everyone who has said 10 respects isn't enough, but it hasn't even been 24 hours since the change, so I'm not going to voice the matter to a mod until I use the site over a period of days, weeks, maybe even a month. The changes were put into place for a reason, and as with everything in life, not all parties will be happy with every aspect of this site. But give it time and see how it goes. Then if you are still convinced that a change is necessary, tell a mod. (Hoping mods don't get blasted with PM's and place blame on me...)
6.) DON'T LEAVE!
There are a lot of good relationships on here, and a lot of witty and charismatic people. You may not enjoy everything about the site as you had in the past, but these people won't become LESS WITTY or LESS ENJOYABLE! The interaction on here is what gives me most of my laughs for the day! If I closed my account, I can guarantee I would never find anything comparable elsewhere.

(Edited by AndiLee0388)
Love the Fantasy games , if they work, I have 3 challenges out right now and no one has accepted

Hate the Respect thing. All they needed to do was keep what they had, and get rid of the PQ. If you want to limit Smarts, Bolds and Funnies, so be it. I go elsewhere on this site other than the Locker room. Do you know how many seriously thought provoking, or great sarcastic comments are made in the course of NCAA football Saturday or a SUnday race? 10 is just ridiculous. It's like asking an alcoholic to go cold turkey, and they can die from that , you know!!!!

Where is the private option when leaving messages? I dont need the whole world seeing what I have to say, unless I post it in a poll.

And last, are you telling me that if I rate a poll or a trivia question, that uses up one of the respects? If that's the case, that would be my deal breaker, hell you have to rate the trivia questions just to get to the next one!

And last, if I click on any topic on my profile page, it goes absolutely nowhere!

Otherwise, I am more than willing to let them work out he kinks. I love the people here, and I think that for the most part,
most of them will be hanging out.

I know one thing, all the b*tching about something that hasn't even been given a chance yet, is sure ruining the experience for me.

Nope, this not a fun site any more.

I joined back in January 2009, and had a great time till the bugs came. First the trivia bug, which still hasn´t been fixed.
Then came the banning of comments on trivia, that was great for inter action and friends.
Then came this silly season two, which has now taken the rest of the fun away. I have no idea where I rank any more, or at what level. I certainly don´t need another complicated facebook with pretend money and gifts, and fantasy games which don´t interest me.

The biggest thing is this Respect BS. 10 is way too few, either give us more or marry the respect with the old system. Why do I have to respect a poll? Why can't I simply "like it"? Why do I have to respect a comment? Why can't it be smart, funny, or bold? I can tell you that at this moment right now, I don't respect Season 2.

I am intrigued by the fantasy, but don't understand the point of Q bucks. Let's say I go on a losing streak and lose the Q bucks I started out with. How do I earn more? If I have no Q bucks, then how do I wager them on fantasy to try to earn more.

When I first joined in June I fell in love with this site, I honestly cant say that I still feel that way, I do not like the changes that have been made will I stay I honestly cant tell you that right now, I love my friends that I have made on here and I do not want to loose touch with them.. Oh I know everyone is going to like the Q bucks but I am not that impressed only because they took away the things that I loved about being on here they could have taken away the PQ and left the smart and funny, and not given us a limit of only 10 so called respect I liked to be able to tell someone that what they did made me laugh, being able to laugh is something that is so important today with what is going on in our world.. If I do decide to stay I hope they dont keep on making these changes if its not broken dont fix it but you wanted my opinion that is Sassy's two cents worth
 I don't like it either Sassy. I don't like the idea of even having the option of using a credit card to buy Q bucks and earning those bucks by trying one of the "free" offers. It's came down to the root of all evil.I have lost respect for the people that run the Q. If this site is open to children 12 and up, what's to stop them from getting our credit cards and maxing them out on BUCKS? Also, there are certain states that prohibit their residents from taking part in this.That would be unfair to them. I noticed that only 13% of the fans like it now.

IMO... It is blantantly obvious that the key administrators of FanIQ DO NOT care for the Locker Room, DO NOT want the Locker Room as part of "their" site and are attempting to slowly inject new modifications that will allow the Locker Room to die a slow death. They would kill it all together immediately but they fear it would cause the loss of SOME members that they really want to be part of and will participate in "their" preferred features on FanIQ (Fantasy Features).
I would be STUNNED if the Locker Room still exists in 6 months.

p.s.    Additionally, If I am ever asked or expected to pay for anything on here .... Im gone. FREE or CYA Later. I give a BIG THUMBS DOWN and a PQ to the Season 2 changes and the direction the FanIQ administrators are taking the site!!!

I started looking around for news about the owners of the site, Sportelligence, Inc., and the more I know the less impressed I am. I'm not upset by what I found or read on the company blog but I suspect that the Q Store, Q Bucks, and ticket sales/FanSnap may only be the beginning of revenue generating features on the new Q.
I am all for companies making money, I just want some insight into whether or not further money based features are in the future.

Love the Fantasy games , if they work, I have 3 challenges out right now and no one has accepted

Hate the Respect thing. All they needed to do was keep what they had, and get rid of the PQ. If you want to limit Smarts, Bolds and Funnies, so be it. I go elsewhere on this site other than the Locker room. Do you know how many seriously thought provoking, or great sarcastic comments are made in the course of NCAA football Saturday or a SUnday race? 10 is just ridiculous. It's like asking an alcoholic to go cold turkey, and they can die from that , you know!!!!

Where is the private option when leaving messages? I dont need the whole world seeing what I have to say, unless I post it in a poll.

And last, are you telling me that if I rate a poll or a trivia question, that uses up one of the respects? If that's the case, that would be my deal breaker, hell you have to rate the trivia questions just to get to the next one!

And last, if I click on any topic on my profile page, it goes absolutely nowhere!

Otherwise, I am more than willing to let them work out he kinks. I love the people here, and I think that for the most part,
most of them will be hanging out.

I know one thing, all the b*tching about something that hasn't even been given a chance yet, is sure ruining the experience for me.

BTW Leslie..great post! It was well worth a precious respect!

Awwww, thanks, Andi! I completely missed tis comment earlier!!

On the fantasy games... the people you send them to have to edit their settings to accept all the notifications under the Quick Fantasy section.

When sending messages... They are private, there doesn't seem to be a setting for public messages. If you can write a headline in your message, it is a private message.

I don't think that rating trivia takes up your respects. I have rated some pictures and none of my respects were used. (If it has a # rating, like 9/10, it shouldn't take up a respect... it didn't for me.)

I did ok with the 10 respects, except that I accidentally respected comments three times because of my laptop touchpad. But believe it or not, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Yes, I wanted to give more, but there were some that REALLY made me laugh, so they got one without question!

Not sure what to tell you about your topics on your profile page not working. Maybe it will clear up soon.

The one other suggestion I have (and as I have already mentioned somewhere else around here...) is that I would like a picture link under people's profile picures. The only way I can find to get to the pics now is to scroll down their biography page and click on the right side near the bottom. Under the profile would be much more convenient for the stalkers people who are interested in findig out more about someone!

I like earlier more than it......

10 respect....it is only given back to the persons we like and respect given to ourself
because we need more
anyway i think it is not a wise move,....
here only the number of quiestains have good mark
not considerd standard of quiestains........
so it will increase lot of unnessesary trivia and quizzies........
lot of fake profile will be launched to increase the respect.........
i personally fear some times it will totally reduce the great site standard........
i personally felt please give back ma old profile

I am definitely NOT liking the changes that have been made, and even taking into consideration that changes were needed to generate money  - I think the flashpoints that are causing users the most grief were not neccesary. The idea that people were too generous with high fives is just LAME! So what? Gee, an interactive function on an interactive site was being used heavily by everyone! DUH! Wasn't that a good thing and what the site should want?

Since the change I have not had a single "thumbs-up" or "respect" for any of my trivia questions when they earn a five star rating from fans. I used to regulary get about 10 a day. So does that mean you give up your respect quota if you 5 star a question? It seems there is now no reason to make any new trivia questions, you don´t get any rewards for them anymore.

This is just a try to make the members pay for some certain features like respects but they do it in wrong way.
If they continue the season 1 and asked for money (membership fee for some specail features)I would have payed but now never.
That way was more competative,we will get used to this but that doesnt means that we like it.
I dont want or like to play any game against my friends,I want to play by my own .
If we were after games there was a ton of games on other sites .I was an addict of pogo before finding the Q .
There are a lot of games in face book or other sites  as well.
I just am sorry that see Q changes to this,
All those who contribute to this site were glad with thumb ups that they recieved.And they are the first ones who are leaving the Q .
Now with this limited respects !!! they receive almost nothing then why should any one continue to contribute?
And the Q is so slow,oh I never have had complained this much ,so I better stop,lol.
Thanks Jim for this poll.I have no respects left to give,sorry.
I just read a very beautiful comment in one of my friends totd:"A site which restricts love and ffriendship..."

I'm still trying to figure out some of the things I regularly did here.  Things seem to be okay, i'm not all that interested in the fantasy aspect.  I really do miss being able to give someone a "funny" or "bold" for a statement made.  I didn't give those out just because I could, I did it because I felt the comment deserved it.  It was so easy to "push the button" and not have to post that the person made me laugh or whatever.  Having 10 "respects" is very limited.  I used to spend a lot of time on here but haven't lately because everyone is getting used to the new way and frankly, there just isn't a lot posted on here except these kind of polls lately.  To me, that is frustrating.

I play a lot on POGO because my girls got me into it and I really like the site for games.  I have games on Facebook that I also do for entertainment.  I'm hoping that once the hoopla dies down and we all get used to the changes, things will get back to our fun loving, back biting, name calling ways and we will be normal again! lol  Seriously, I think many are taking the changes too personally and should wait and try things out for a while before they start jumping the gun.  That is what i'm doing.  I may not be here as much right now, I also have a job now but can still get on here at work any time I want.  I do know that once I feel more comfortable doing some of the new things I will probably be more active in them.

Thanks for letting me vent!

It lets nubes get in on the glory so many of us worked so hard to earn.  I should know.  I was in love with the site when I first joined during the summer, and it took me forever to reach my Level 24 status.  I was hovering around 355-345 overall.  Now all of that is just gone and many of us hate it.

I DONT WANT THE NEW PEOPLE EARNING GLORY OVER ME WHEN I WORKED SO HARD TO GET WHERE I WAS AND THEY HEARD ABOUT IT MAYBE A WEEK OR 2 AGO.  I AINT GONNA LET A NEW SEASON CHANGE WHERE I AM ON THIS SITE AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU.  IF YOU AGREE, I EARNED A LOT OF RESPECT FOR YOU, BUT I WONT GIVE THE ACTUAL RESPECT BECAUSE THIS NEW FEATURE IS A LOAD OF BULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't say enough how this "Respect" limit bugs me, its crap, I'm sorry, I like FanIQ, but, I feel the gun went off and shot your foot just a bit. Some of the changes are okay, Fantasy sports is probably the best of the changes, I don't mind buying a couple gifts for friends, but, that just makes it seem like its starting to be about money, which I'm sure NO site can go on without it at some point. But then limit respects, some them go down without even USING them!!! I had 5 this morning, now it says I used all 10, WHEN??? WHERE??? I've only been here about 2 months? and even I can see it was way better in season 1. You're gonna lose fans, then I guess you'll need more money because the site can't afford the lost fans. Why fix something that AINT BROKEN??? I'm staying, but, You know a lot won't.

I feel like I've commented on Season 2 about 28 times already in the past 24 hours!
The abridged version:
 to Q-Bucks and gifts (although I'm certainly not going to buy more when I run out).
 to the new Fantasy League stuff ... I don't personally think I'll use them, but people seem happy about it and it's not causing me a headache, so whatever.
 to loss of accolades and this new "respect" thing.
 to only having 10 "respect" to give out per day.

On a final note, I do understand that a lot of people were giving out accolades for silly things at times.  However, is it really THAT bad that people were showing others that they liked and appreciated their feedback on a poll, no matter how ridiculous some people may think that comment is?  Sometimes all it takes is a "reply to comment" and a  top make me laugh and give someone a "funny".  Also, I know for me, I tend to post more often when I know that others are actually enjoying and appreciating my posts (some of you may not be thrilled that I posted more, but whatever ... bite me  lol).  I think that people will, overall, become less likely to participate if they don't get that feedback and sense of camaraderie with the other members of the Q that accolades helped provide.
 You've echoed some of my thoughts from one of the three dozen season 2 polls. The accolades were an important part of the give and take between members. I think their point value was irrelevant. They served to reinforce positive contributions. Granted, some comments didn't warrant a lot of attention, but like you said, big deal. Take away their point value and maybe gratuitous accolades wouldn't bother some people. 

I am willing to give Season 2 a chance. This is a website. It is not my child's school, my HMO, or my retirement fund. If someone suggested drastic changes to those, I'd get excited. If the Q fails to live up to my expectations, the sun will rise tomorrow and life will go on.

I am not liking most of the changes, I cannot yet access the 'game' part for some reason.  They have ignored the 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' theory.

The worst if the limited 'respects'.  It will lessen my time on the site.

I don't like being limited to how many people I give thumbs up to.  I bounce around from here, quizzes, leaders, and trivia and generally enjoy what's presented by other members.  I like to let people know what they've posted was funny and/or I liked it.  I like the other system better.  Still haven't tried the fantasy stuff.......not really my thing, but, I'd probably check it out later.

I'm just not feeling the limit of thumbs up.

I can't even give the author of this post a thumbs up.

Some were using the thumbs up button to much and they were wearing out.So FanIQ had to hire someone to repair the thumbs up buttons and it was costing them a 1,000 Q bucks per button. They were losing alot of cyber money...faster than they could print it:)

I pretty much spent all day yesterday on the Q. It is starting to grow on me, there is something about it that has reenergized me. I still am not happy about losing my points and rakings, but will get over that in time. I don't like the limited number of respects, but hopefully that will change. I challened Andilee0388 to a fantasy game this weekend, she accepted. But here is my question, how do I get to the live scoring? Did I do something wrong? Is it a glitch in the system with fantasy? Now for the Q bucks, someday I will probably run out, cause if I don't win in fantasy, or win the Q lottery. I will sooner or later spend or gamble away all my Q bucks. Sorry I am not going to spend my hard earned real money on vitrual gifts, and I am not going to do the surveys and fill up my e-mail in box with garbage in order to get more.

Nope, just go to fantasy like you're going to start a challenge - click "Start a Challenge" - but then click "Current Challenges" under your pic on the left side of the page.

Also - I have a blog for anyone who's interested. It's a Quick Fantasy live thread, where we can give updates on how we're doing in our fantasy matches against each other:

The earlier version of faniq was much better. Even the comments had a range of options from smart, funny, bold and poor to exactly express the feelings.

The scoring also pumped up adrenaline. The new one is more like business like putting Amateurs in disadvantage.

There are changes in the works where Respect is concerned and other things being discussed in regards to finding other ways to interact using things in place of accolades to comments - it sometimes takes a while to develop things and implement them. Since Season 2 was a major overhaul of the site, it's impossible go back immediately to the way things were (and even if we could, it would take a while to make sure the coding was compatible with the new design).

Responding to Gina in comment #224:
I'm not sure what you mean by the moderators not being around much; I just know that there seems to be a dip in their response to polls such as this because pretty much anything that needed to be explained has been explained. I do know that mods have been around though, posting and contributing as much as usual.

As for glitches, please remember the "Report a Bug" feature and the User Experience forum - this is the best way for our techs to see when something is wrong. They don't often scour the polls. Reporting things to a mod is ok too, but 2nd-hand information is much less reliable than getting explanations directly from the person reporting the problem.

In regards to the points being taken away; points haven't been taken away. Actually just the "Overall FanIQ Ranking" has been removed. There are still individual rankings for each game (trivia, quizzes, polls, etc.) - which can be seen on the Leader board, found under "Fun & Games". Your career stats are still there, and your weekly stats will show up on your profile. Also, if you rank within the top 10 of any game on any given week, you receive $2,000 bonus Q Bucks (for each game you rank within the Top 10 in).

#1 fan in any team/driver/etc. gets you the same thing as it ever did: recognition. You show up on people's home page as being one of the top 3 fans, and you receive a trophy for each week you rank. It also shows up on the rollover popup by your picture that you are ranked a top fan, and on your profile where it shows your favorite teams. That hasn't changed much, actually (you never really got more than recognition as a top fan in season 1).

Hate the Respect thing. All they needed to do was keep what they had, and get rid of the PQ. If you want to limit Smarts, Bolds and Funnies, so be it. I go elsewhere on this site other than the Locker room. Do you know how many seriously thought provoking, or great sarcastic comments are made in the course of NCAA football Saturday or a SUnday race? 10 is just ridiculous. It's like asking an alcoholic to go cold turkey, and they can die from that , you know!!!!

Where is the private option when leaving messages? I dont need the whole world seeing what I have to say, unless I post it in a poll.

And last, are you telling me that if I rate a poll or a trivia question, that uses up one of the respects? If that's the case, that would be my deal breaker, hell you have to rate the trivia questions just to get to the next one!

And last, if I click on any topic on my profile page, it goes absolutely nowhere!

Otherwise, I am more than willing to let them work out he kinks. I love the people here, and I think that for the most part,
most of them will be hanging out.

I know one thing, all the b*tching about something that hasn't even been given a chance yet, is sure ruining the experience for me.

Jess,

In paragraph 4: The biggest problem that I have is that the points were carried over for Trivia etc...So the #1 trivia leader is so far ahead of everyone else unless you are in the top 10 then you might have a change at being #1.  We were told the points and ranking were being taken away to open up a level playing field, but when the trivia and poll points were NOT zeroed out it gives us no chance of catching the leaders from Season one.

Also the #1 fan only gets one trophy.  If you are the #1 fan again then there is a (2) beside the trophy.  That just doesn't seem right.

The Fantasy Games are fun for people that enjoy them.  With that being practically the only way to make any Q Bucks it just isn't giving me the incentive to take part in the site anymore.  The only reason I am here is for the friends I have made. They are leaving everyday because of the new format. 

Honestly, this is just all a big headache to me now.  There is no point in complaining because nothing is going to be done!

Like most of you, I like some of the changes and dis-like others. Accepting change has always been a hard part of like. We are after all creatures of habit. I know that I do not spend as much time on the site as I did before and it probably has alot to do with the respect limit. Once they are gone what is the point of hanging around anymore. I met people by either giving or recieving thumbs up or you made me laugh. Now it seems to be harder to meet people.

Actually it's a weekly thing - it's the top fans of the week; not overall career :)

The #1 fan, as I mentioned, never got a trophy before, so even getting trophy with a tally next to it is more than they got in Season 1. They also get the recognition they've always had.

The developers are currently developing more ways for people to earn Q Bucks. Fantasy, lottery, and Top Game winners won't be the only way to earn them forever - it's still a work in progress.

The developers are currently developing more ways for people to earn Q Bucks. Fantasy, lottery, and Top Game winners won't be the only way to earn them forever - it's still a work in progress.

Oh I know everyone is going to like the Q bucks but I am not that impressed only because they took away the things that I loved about being on here they could have taken away the PQ and left the smart and funny, and not given us a limit of only 10 so called respect I liked to be able to tell someone that what they did made me laugh, being able to laugh is something that is so important today with what is going on in our world.. If I do decide to stay I hope they dont keep on making these changes if its not broken dont fix it but you wanted my opinion that is Sassy's two cents worth
 Sassy, life has taught us to tolerate the most intolerable and try to change what can be  changed, to make it tolerable, but while agreeing with all the salient features you have raised, hats off to you, having sincerely tried, now it is time to tell that the greed of profit and economics has taken over the intellect at the site administration as the "virtual gifts" are sold which cost nothing, but big money spinners for the sellers of these gifts, fantasy games are the best places for id thefts and site has been abettor for it, so sad.

I wouldn't have a problem with users 'earning' accolades to give.  I agree that accolades were given too freely, especially in the LR. 

That being said, it's nice to be able to tell someone what you thought of their contribution. 

Here's the rub, the accolades issue is going to affect the locker room more than anything else.  Sure it will affect the quizzes and trivia a little too, I used to get several tu's for trivia questions, and probably won't now.

I'm not sure that the people who've made the decision understand the draw of the LR and how important the accolades are to people who contribute.  Even some of the polls are designed for their use.  If you go to game pages and articles you'll notice accolades aren't/weren't used that often at all, compared to the LR.  So there is a major disconnect I'm afraid.

So for the content directly related to sports, I think the changes are great.  It'll be neat to see it all unfold.  For the locker room though, the changes are not good, and as a result the locker room will probably die a slow death.
 Because you did not get  hem as much as expected, grapes are sour for you.......................................................... Accolades and brickbats are part of the game we play, but the worst is the limitation of      "respect"   to ten, it is daisy cutters on innocents for imaginary terror.
Locker Room s the soul of the site, it is on decay.

About accolades, what you have opined later in subsequent paragraphs are true reflections of all participants.

The abridged version:
 to Q-Bucks and gifts (although I'm certainly not going to buy more when I run out).

 to loss of accolades and this new "respect" thing.
 to only having 10 "respect" to give out per day.

On a final note, I do understand that a lot of people were giving out accolades for silly things at times.  However, is it really THAT bad that people were showing others that they liked and appreciated their feedback on a poll, no matter how ridiculous some people may think that comment is?  Sometimes all it takes is a "reply to comment" and a  top make me laugh and give someone a "funny".  Also, I know for me, I tend to post more often when I know that others are actually enjoying and appreciating my posts (some of you may not be thrilled that I posted more, but whatever ... bite me  lol).  I think that people will, overall, become less likely to participate if they don't get that feedback and sense of camaraderie with the other members of the Q that accolades helped provide.
 Silly and wise are relative words of judgemental, what you like, you appreciate and give thumbs up, many things you may not like but read, and digest, but limiting and use of respects wisely is the silliest of the policy of the site.!

It has slowed down my computer at work some so I may not be logging in as much from there. I also don't like being limited to 10 respects per day, but I will probably get used to that too.
That being said I don't think I will stop coming here daily. Change always takes time getting used to!!
 That is the way milching the cost of Q bucks and virtual gifts from each user whether he likes it or not, as computers are more logged in to the site and go slow to pay for the non entity of virtual goody and  q bucks. !

Jess,

In paragraph 4: The biggest problem that I have is that the points were carried over for Trivia etc...So the #1 trivia leader is so far ahead of everyone else unless you are in the top 10 then you might have a change at being #1.  We were told the points and ranking were being taken away to open up a level playing field, but when the trivia and poll points were NOT zeroed out it gives us no chance of catching the leaders from Season one.

Also the #1 fan only gets one trophy.  If you are the #1 fan again then there is a (2) beside the trophy.  That just doesn't seem right.

The Fantasy Games are fun for people that enjoy them.  With that being practically the only way to make any Q Bucks it just isn't giving me the incentive to take part in the site anymore.  The only reason I am here is for the friends I have made. They are leaving everyday because of the new format. 

Honestly, this is just all a big headache to me now.  There is no point in complaining because nothing is going to be done!
 Here is your trophy, to both Jess, and Gina,.....................................Ummmmah. Love and regards,

NO!  I have tried looking around, taking quizzes & trivia and went to the fantasy site.  I do not like it at all! If they want fantasy games then just bring back the old Q and add Fantasy Games to it.  This is ridiculous.  I am not happy at all right now.  I never thought I would see the day when I didn't look forward to logging on to the Q, but today was one of them!

He's right, isn't he?  And don't leave Gina, it'll work itself out, I have to believe in that.


It is clear to me that one of the draws for people were the accolades. They were like crack that kept us coming back and we (at least me) like to see who thought what was funny or smart. I also enjoyed handing it out, especially when I thought something was funny. Now we're all going through withdrawal. Hopefully we can just find our new crack on here.

On a serious note, I believe the idea was by having so many of them to hand out they were wasted and just anything was praised. Now I think the belief is, only the very best will get accolades because people will be much more choosey and in turn that will only bring out the best stuff. Quality over quantity, however with the crack issue, I think we'll just have that many more posts with folks having to make a post when they think something is funny or smart. At least until the withdrawal is over.
 Sir, when you say " anything is praised" is it a fair deduction., this is not very praiseworthy comment of your. Of you see the top comment that has as of now "earned" 25 respects in the recession time at the site, think again, we respond to what our heart feels about the issue. Some more, some less in their response.

I accidentally gave you a "respect" for that comment. I was flipping between tabs and clicked when I didn't mean to...   No disrespect intended for not wanting to give you a "respect"... I just don't see the locker room dying a quick death...

Anyway, here are my thoughts on the new season...

1. Give it a chance.
I know there are things we don't like, but I have found that generally speaking, people are resistant to change. Just like the last change, you will get used to it.
2. Don't refuse to give out "respects" just because you might run out.

If you get a good laugh over something, let them know! Yes, you might run out, but over a few days, you will start thinking about what you really enjoy, and what was just a witty little comeback or profound thought. You will learn to space out your respects. Plus, if you find something good that really deserves respect after you have used all 10 of yours, bookmark it and acknowledge it the next day.
3. Ask yourself what you are truly here for!
If your main focus on this site is sports articles, predictions, and trivia, then use most of your respects in those areas. If your main focus is locker room polls and friends, then use most of your respects for that. I would certainly hope that no one is offended when they don't get a respect for making simple comments like Happy Birthday! (On a side note, I always found it amusing in a way when I would tell someone Happy Birthday in a poll and I got 35 "smarts" for it... but when I made a comment under something serious or sports related that took a lot of thought, I would be lucky to earn 3 thumbs!)
4. Replying with accolades instead of giving respect... good idea or not??
I personally think replying to a comment with another comment is fine if you really want to emphasize strong feelings about it. Especially if you have run out of respects to give for the day. I personally wouldn't over-use it just to give a thumbs up, as the polls will become cluttered. (Just my humble opinion.) PM's and shout-outs are good for giving thumbs, too.
5. Suggest specific changes to mods if you truly think it will benefit the site.
If the majority of people have similar opinions about certain aspects of the site, I'm sure the mods will take notice. I agree with everyone who has said 10 respects isn't enough, but it hasn't even been 24 hours since the change, so I'm not going to voice the matter to a mod until I use the site over a period of days, weeks, maybe even a month. The changes were put into place for a reason, and as with everything in life, not all parties will be happy with every aspect of this site. But give it time and see how it goes. Then if you are still convinced that a change is necessary, tell a mod. (Hoping mods don't get blasted with PM's and place blame on me...)
6.) DON'T LEAVE!
There are a lot of good relationships on here, and a lot of witty and charismatic people. You may not enjoy everything about the site as you had in the past, but these people won't become LESS WITTY or LESS ENJOYABLE! The interaction on here is what gives me most of my laughs for the day! If I closed my account, I can guarantee I would never find anything comparable elsewhere. I enjoy the people here and I hope you all stick around!!
 Point number three, when you set aside that you felt amusing for the 35 smarts for the happy birthday comment, you are an elite socialite and not social..................................! ? Forget your "  I   ' this I of yours is making you so vain.................!

Why could they just ask us what we wanted then put in together to see if we liked it or not "TRIAL " they let you do that with stuff that you order on TV & internet. Sounds like this is pushing more away from Faniq than bringing more in.The more I go to polls with this
Season 2 - the more I want Season 1 BACK !!!

 You are off the target by a mile, Jess, it is quality of the comment that matters, not just quantity. Forgive me Queen mother, yours truly, sonny.
