I'm not aware of these federations (I got the support 2 days ago...), but I think most of the people receive +1s from their own community. I'd say that 10% of my "+1s" are coming from BB-Global, and the rest from BB-Italy (and also my league forum, III.10).

Anyway the "balls" everyone has does not represent reputation. Personally, I do not care if you have 10 balls or 1000, I read the post and if I don't like it, I say it... even if you have a big "reputation". And I think everyone here thinks more or less the same.

I understand what you mean, but there's just not much we can do about it. As a new player, you have nothing to evaluate wether what people say is right or wrong or somewhere in between. There's not much you can use to differentiate between opinions that are given, and I'm afraid +1's aren't a good indicator either. I think looking at the team and accomplishments of a manger gives a better indication than balls, because people get balls for lots of stuff that is not good advice (a joke for example).

You could try and see how people formulate their opinions, what arguments they use and how they react on other's opinions. But there's no sure way to tell what advice/opinion is better than the other.

Balls are not an indicator of quality. I'm not a fan of those federation giving away balls, but they aren't going against the rules, they mostly do that for the objectives.


I agree with you, and +1 for you.

You're been active in BB forum, including national forums. Most of your posts are helping other users to resolve their problems.

Once in a topic (23605) GM-Jason said to a well known player "with your massive amount of balls, new guys will take those opinions as fact, and run with it. :-) ". Yeah, he is really right about this thoughts. If you have higher number of +1s that makes you reputable. But these days some players' ball numbers increase dramatically! I wondered how it become. And now i learned there are some federations consist of players who +1s every single message, although gives no message indeed. If this is an indicator about the player (reputation) (knowledge), you must not let that kind of cheating in my opinion. If i'm wrong pls, i'll be waiting for reasonable answers, thanks you.


I've got no real problem with it, but I don't see the appeal of going out and begging for +1s so you can boost your ball count in the first place. I know personally I would greatly like to see some way of identifying which post(s) got the balls, though, because rumor has it that I've gotten a lot of them for posting funny things and I haven't bookmarked all of my posts. ;)

The good thing in the community is that, for the most part, there's always someone to step in when someone posts something that's blatantly wrong. Pretty much all you can ask for.
