I am in favor of the Q going back to old system for Locker room
I wish the Q would revert back to the old system for the locker room. I think it made for more lively discussions and made them more entertaining, What do you think.? I liked the thumbs up the funny and smarts.

 Please be patient everyone.

Everyone (including mods) are absolutely new to this season 2.  Everything that people are complaining about is definitely being heard.

Everytime we have changes on the site, there are tons of complaints.  But be patient with this new change.  Either (A) it will grow on you or (B) changes will be made.

I know there are a couple of things that are being looked into.  But it's you members that keep this site going, so I promise any decisions that are made will be for the benefit of the site. 

A couple of issues might get immediate attention, but some of them might get put on hold to see how they pan out after the "newness" has worn out.  So please be patient.  I believe that in the end, everyone will be pleased with the final result.
Keep new format.

I agree!  Go back to the old way and add the fantasy sports to it.  I'm very disappointed today.  I can't believe they took a great site and have turned it into this mass confusion and very impersonal one!

I'm sure they are reading the comments, but I doubt it is going to help.  This site has been ruined!  I don't like it, I don't like it! This all sucks.  Respect is one thing that I was taught to show others and I think someone owes us members the RESPECT of hearing our opinions!  I would rather pay to be a member with it being the old way than come to this BS they have now!  BTW:  They have not even given me ANY RESPECTS to give out anyway!  I get a message that I have used them all.  How the h*ll can you give something out that you never had?  Thumbs up is more of a sports sign than a respect!

  Complaints are mainly due to the low restriction of Respect. This is something which used to inspires all to put new ideas and share useful and funny materials, now as it turn out to be of low applause ppl will feel disappointment and stuffs will certainly dry up in future. The numbers of applause certainly used to boost not only known friends but also to new members joining the site. At least the No. of Respect should be increase to 25 - 30 comparison to quality and quantity of materials introduce daily and quantity of members which is quiet high.

I am totally lost and most of what they have done i cant participate in as i know about my countries sports and very little about most American sport so the challenges about them i would most always lose and i dont know anyone to actually challenge..Also with only 10 respects to give out people will saved them for when they see a friend say something . I dont know many people but would sign on and get some shouts outs or thumbs up from my poll answers all the time because if people liked my comments they would show this but with limits now i have got nothing. Here was the only place with a chance to have fun and meet people that option is now very difficult for me.

 ..this is good. We need to know how many left b4 pressing the Respect button, it can be set like whenever anyone brings the cursor on Respect button a short message will appear telling how many Respect He/She has left, this can help him/her to decide to go for pressing the button or not.

I don't necessarily have a problem with the low restriction of  "Respect" if the previous system was causing problems with people trying to boost up any scores.  But you are correct that the Smarts and Funny's helped give us a sort of feedback that connected us to others.  A way to see that others were able to laugh, it gave us a additional way to communicate and bond with each other.  The way a group of friends meeting together would play off one another during any given conversation.

Maybe an idea would be to combine the old and the new.   Have the new "Respect" count for points or whatever for the site system.  But keep some of the old ways, the smart, the funny, and the bold, (except maybe the pq, as some people tend to abuse).  The old way helped people bond with another, and helped create a spirit to the site.

Isnt there the right to freedom of speech and if people dont complain how will the owners know what made people come here to start with and help them make it a better place.

Like tpowell25 said, this site exists because of the people who use it regularly.  I'm sure that Ty and Jess (and all the other folks who have a say in how the Q is run) are open to suggestions and understand that if enough users do not like the new changes, they may need to revise them, or just flat-out go back to the Season 1 way of doing things.  But if no one speaks up (hopefully in a respectful manner), how will they know that the users aren't happy with the changes?

 This is a sports sites for fans right?? And most of us played sports at one time or another.  In all my years of wrestling and playing baseball, I cannot ever remember anyone ever saying I "respect" you. I've had fist bumps, ass slaps, pat on the backs, hand shakes, high fives, and others. I cant see Tom Brady telling Randy Moss that he "respects" him. I can see him fist bumping though. I think we should be able to use our fan actions as thumbs ups. I have friends that I met on here, and most blog or comment. All I can do is give them fan actions. Maybe the "powers to be" will "respect" or comments and make the changes that are needed! The Fantasy is cool! Good job on that!

You know limiting us on telling people that we thought thier comment either made us laugh, or gave us something to think about, or totally disagreed with it and wanna debate it is wrong. How do you tell someone that thier comment was not as important as sombodie elses? I can't do that. Can you?

There is no incentive to guess at all of them, other than some lame cyber trophy for the top 3 weekly winners. At least before all of those points counted for something, now if your not in the top 3 at the end of the week you get nothing and you lose those points. I used to take a lot of time to do the pick'ems now I will just fill out polls and pick'ems for my favorite teams. Sarcasm Alert------Thanks for saving me a lot of time during College Basketball season, now I don't have to guess at the 150 plus games on Saturdays.

You're probably making that point with the wrong person.  It wasn't that long ago that we didn't have thumbs up of any kind.  If you liked, disagreed, or thought a comment was funny, the only way to show how you felt was to reply to that comment and say it.

I see what you're saying and believe it or not I understand.  Having a discrepency over change is fine.  And it's not falling on deaf ears.

Money is the Driving force the Locker Room generates no income therefore the decision was made to get rid of it.

No such decision was made.

As a matter of fact, Ty's quite fond of the Locker Room and would never get rid of it.

Folks, please keep in mind a few things:
1) You are not required to spend money on anything here. If you choose to buy more Q bucks, you have that option. However, you can also earn them too.
2) Sites this big require some sort of funding to keep running. We at FanIQ are doing everything we can to make that part of things fun for you guys rather than plastering ads all over the place.
3) The Locker Room is a huge part of the site, and as such we want the highest quality stuff in here to get recognition as well. If the Respect thing doesn't work (after giving it a chance), things could always change.

I know change is hard to get used to. I know people are upset about losing their points and ranks, etc. But we couldn't actually do anything with those points. At least with this virtual currency we can actually spend it somehow, and we can earn more.

It means the locker room (the section where this poll is) is not going anywhere anytime soon, and I am not sure why the "go knit a blanket" comment was necessary, it makes no sense.

Locker room is not going anywhere. In fact, the community interaction of the locker room is what we want to harness on the team pages.

 I would like to be able to give/receive unlimited smarts, funnies or bolds again (no pqs) even if I don't get a single point for that, is just a way to show appreciation for a comment or a person, now we have to reply comments or simply read and move on. I feel my finger (to click) tied

Mmmmmmmmm

I Dont want to be able to purchase gifts.!

( Where people can judge -the VALUE of the gift->> against the quality of the friendship)
- Just because some, can earn more,- n spend more, n flaunt it----
NAAAAAAAAAA!!!

My personal gift to others is my art- (I’m not smart, and don’t try to be.)

I show my respect with my -creativity- (for lack of a better word-)
I show my love in my answers… and mail responses.
(even though they are breaking yr TV boxes.) &

I'M SOOOOOO SORRY about that!!!!

I WONT judge others -and Hate to be judged.

But this gift thing forces me to assess value.
Politely, and -with all RESPECT
- Take back the buying power!!!
Give back -MY- self-respect and dignity!!!
In order for -me- to feel good about , myself,
I need to be able to -freely -give my love (Respect)-to others.

Not have gifts on my page. Like, Badges of Honor.

(In that- one assumes that the more valuable the gift- then obviously- the greater the love-
I bought as many of my friends the PURPLE GIFT.
(go figure)  - ....  Hee Hee

I do humbly accept the beautiful gifts I have been given.

BUT - - >> I feel that the introduction of these gifts, only brings
Manipulation, Obligation, and Class Distinction.

Allow me to FREELY shower my love & respect on everyone-
Even the people - I don’t know-
(In fact- especially the ones I don’t know. YET!!

The way I set it is->………….
This is the ONLY site I have ever been on,
- where strangers can come to my page,
-scroll through my personal details and add me to their friends

Without my permission ….

So Fan IQ. Obviously Encourages Friendships …

But it is nicer to give a “smart-funny ” response to them-
Because the comment was good or funny,
Really ---it's a much better way to get to know strangers!!!!
---And I don’t need, - to have to think twice about -
ROBBING -My Friends- of future -RESPECT-

Call it what you like-

Funny. Bold. Smart. Respect. Silly, Kindness, -What ever!!!

BUT---- FREE- & UNLIMITED- ----

Restricting our ability to share kindness- I personally think

NEEDS TO BE RE -EVALUATED.

And for goodness sake-
We don’t need the judgementalism of the money and the gifts..
Well --- I-personally - don’t---

******************************
NB: I cast no stones- I don’t profess to be smart enough,
to judge the minds and intentions of others.

These are -MY personal opinions

I want NO respect for them..

&I don’t mind if you don’t agree with me.  Just be happy with your own lives.

And please please!!!!

EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!!

- try to bring as much happiness to as many people as you can--.

 

ometimes- people are on the edge!!!!!!-  and a Genuine Smile.
Could be the difference -between  LIFE & Death
     Flowers CommentsIt could be my life you save  xoxox  ditto---just luv ya
