Reputation Change

I think having it where it has to be approved by others would give more of a "this is how everyone feels about you" feel to reputation than if it's single people, though. A single person can keep targeting someone that the majority of people like and there's nothing that can be done about it. I think it would make reputation actually reflect what it should.

I got negative repped by someone who hasn't posted in two years. Fun stuff, I suppose. Maybe we should make it for active or semi active members, and not lurkers?

I honestly don't care about the repping too much, but I found it odd to get negative repped for posting about yoshi coins by some guy who hasn't shown his opinions in a post since 9-23-05.

Was it Afroman? I got negatively repped by him on just a random post of mine.

So basically you would want to create a poll somewhat for each individual post? Idk if WW would be able to do anything like that because I don't believe anything like that really exists yet, I do like the thought of it though.

... That's stupid.

I agree with Lenny. Everybody's opinions differ, we're not all going to agree "Hey, this was a good post."

Keep it the way it is. Why fix something that isn't broken?

Because it is broken.

How? You can't +/- the same person until you've done it to 6 other people and you have to wait 24 hours if you've done it too much. I think that's a pretty fair system.

That only affects how often you can do it. People can still rep for whatever the hell they want, whether or not they have a good reason or not. There at least needs to be SOME sort of approval system, be it by staff or by members.

I'd say just allow people to report it, and assign somebody fair enough to be a Reputation manager and moderator, something. And if THEY feel it IS unjust, they can use their own good judgement and/or pass it along to the other staff.

That sounds a bit too complicated. Just make it where staff handle any reports about rep, but cannot alter anything that is in relation to them(that they either gave or recieved, basically.)

Would be just like approving new members. We weed out the pointless ones.
