Remove negative rep? Remove all rep?

Without negative rep, there can be no "negative rep retribution," nor can there be "negative rep out of spite." I think this will lead to a more meaningful indicator.

I disagree.

I mean, is there some huge underlying crisis that is going on right now that we, as members, aren't aware of? What made you think this? Because Grav got upset that he got neg. repped twice? He was being an asshole in that specific post so I called him out on it.

Who is abusing the system so bad that we need to re-vamp things?

It's fine. Just because some emo non-conformist douchebags are getting negative rep they want it changed because their e-peen hurts. I say leave it how it is, it's fun, it's something new, if you guys just want to stay in the past and never get anything new on here then so be it, there will never, ever be any new members or ever anything interesting on these boards.

Here's a simple fucking soluion, just make rep viewable for each member and who repped them. Problem solved.

If someone is being an arse, then I want to be able to negative rep them for being an arse.

Maybe if there were more meaning to it (a shop, say), and there was a real problem with people getting negative repped out of spite, then yeah, make some changes, but getting rid of negative rep just because one or two people are being pissy over someone getting three bars... I mean, come on! WTF is that all about? Oh noes, three bars, he must be a cheater! Grow up.

So no, leave it as it is in terms of negative rep.

However, would it be worth making comments compulsory, and maybe even moderated (in all honesty, it wouldn't be much of a workload for us), just to keep the babies happy that no-one is playing the system?

I agree. If one person is not saying good things or just being annoying i think that we should be able to mark them as such. But, if someone doesn't care about the repping, then they should be able to make it not see-able by them.

+Rep for that post, Lenny.

If certain people don't care about the reputation system and think it's immature and meaningless, then don't pay attention to it. You aren't being forced to. Let the people that do use it to continue doing so.

Look guys.

This is a simple fix.







Make the Reputation able to be viewed by everybody

If there is no shame, then WHO GIVES A FUCK. There will be no hiding anything, and would be fair on every side of the story.

ALLOW there to be a 'report' button

This would display a complaint you have filed with Rep you have received, and a mod could then look into it.

Nothin else needs to be changed.

Good idea. and all reps coming from anyone with like, less than 2 bars shouldnt count

I was actually suggesting D3v's idea yesterday.

If all rep is made public, people can't abuse it since everyone will know anyway.

However, rep does nothing currently. It serves no purpose. Until it can actually do something, you might as well can it.

Someone had suggested to make it where if you're at a higher level of rep you get a discount in a shop, but as we have no shop, that doesn't help right now.

How about you can get a free lesson on how to do sigs like GLG and Sov.

No neg rep + require comments to add rep

its just fun and games for now. grow up and just hve fun with it.

It is all just fun and games till someone gets negative rep....

Wheres the "Make all rep. public" option?

Somewhere special that you don't know about.

I don't think it has been made yet.

I can see who reps me.

Also, don't take away neg rep. It just shows that some people are taking this too seriously.

How can you tell if anyone reps you? I don't think they rep me tho. Makes me sad.

I don't know WHEN I'm repped, but if I look at my User CP I can see who has and all that jazz.

Why? This is an added incentive to keep people coming back and to attract new members. Maybe it's not going to make that much of a difference, but at least it's something?
