Current discount codes at SSC

I would like to think it's a system to gauge your contributions to this forum as opposed to activity.

So like people like photographers, bloggers, and comedians would have more rep and I guess it's also a way to promote people to give back to the community more often.

Idk that's just me with wishful thinking

Lol. I never thought of it like that.
It's only just now that i checked my reputation page(I do read every rep comment if someone leaves one), but i don't see what that 1290 rep means. The comments are great of course, but i have never seen a practical application for them.

Well custom builders like you should get rep too.

I guess the comments are a source of feedback for the posters and the rep score is just an arbitrary number to promote the posters to be more helpful to get higher scores sounds like a big game to me

Initially my thought was that it would be used for people helping other members, or being unhelpful generally. So, if someone asks a question and you answer, you get positive reputation. If someone asks a question and you call them a ********, you get negative. But it was abused terribly both ways early on, and continues to be misused for things like contests, friends rewarding each other ***-for-tat, etc. Considering that, I usually give it out to someone who says something awesome and/or that makes me laugh. There are worse ways to use it.

This, it's been abused. There's no real guidelines for it

Personally, anyone who has something insightful to say and I learn something from it or is generally helpful to others, I rep them

Yeah, i have to admit that i tend to use it to tell someone i enjoyed their post.
Or if someone has taken the time to take some pics of their figure in new poses.

Anyone? I've seen people mention Tie Pilot, etc but nothing works for me.

That's just the regular $20 code that works for the TIE pilot. Others have posted what the 50% off code works on and it's not much--robocop with chair, batman armory with Alfred, and a couple other items. If you have it, you can add to your wallet and view items it works on.

Interesting comments about the rep system - I appreciate that dialogue. I've been trying to figure out the rep system and it's only partially clear in my head how to use it. I just became a premium member last week, and I want to be able to correctly use it as a way to thank people who have been helpful or informative, or whose posts I enjoyed reading. But I've been reluctant to do it at all without fully understanding what it means. I need a "Rep 101" class!

Rep means nothing.
The majority of it is 'friends' repping each other whenever they can, mainly in certain 'clique' threads.

Yeah I look at Feedback more importantly than Rep points when buying or selling. I normally rep people on things I find amusing or helpful in nature

The problem, though, is that many people will never earn feedback because they are not buying, selling, or trading on this forum. I do think it's sort of nice to have another way to acknowledge the contributions of the many people who don't do that, but who spend so much time on this forum providing insight, information, photos, etc. I just joined in January but already I have learned so much, not to mention saved a few dollars by having awareness of coupons and promo codes provided by others here. That's why I ante'd up for the Premium membership - to show my appreciation for the value provided by this forum and its members.

Does SSC ever put PFs on sale? I've been eyeballing the Batman PF for months now and a 30% deal would probably make me order it.

Just asking because all I've been aware of are 1/6 products being on sale.

Sometimes they put a % discount on but it's usually just extra rewards.

The fact that you enjoy it here and find useful information is all that really matters

I remember during spook the Snowtrooper PF got discounted with a 20% or maybe 30% coupon. I don't pay much attention to PFs though so that's all I remember.

Lol. I quoted you so it's more of an homage than direct theft, lol.

Yeah, I don't either so I wasn't sure. I'll just have to keep an eye out from now on.
