Reputation

You learn that helpful posts may not always go unnoticed.

I've made my fair share of posts that are normally considered 'helpful', but they always go unnoticed.

People just enjoy giving out negative rep rather than positive rep because they know they can do it anonymously and feel bigger when they do negatively rep someone.​

Maybe we should restrict giving out reputation to supporters. xD!

Maybe we should restrict receiving negative reputation to super moderators.

Maybe people would feel better obliged to give you positive reputation if you didn't have it disabled in the first place? :3 I know I would. As sad as that is.

So what about those rep parties a while back where a few members of PC (mostly staff, as I recall) got tons of positive rep points? Were those rep points removed?

What have I done making this topic...I'm going to assume you are kidding.

Off topic:
When some staff posts, I naturally think the thread is going to be closed...

Actually, I think we'd have a lot more supporters if you staff did that. XD; Just think about the cash.

I heard the reputation was disabled in the past and I did not want that to happen again.

You realise creating threads like this dosen't help with keeping the rep system?

All it does it create more fuss and opportunities for people to whine about it. :|

You consider them helpful. You can't dictate what other people should give out rep for; the quality of a post is subjective to everyone here.

You are right, the community may get more money.

People should stop complaining about the rep system and man up. Someone call you a whiny ***** and give you negative rep? Great. Next time someone irritates you, just give them negative rep. Not that hard, eh? The only abuse that is remotely important is when a gang of people give negative rep to one person. That's just cheating.

That is what I think about the rep system. I could care less if it was disabled.

Actually, that's not such a bad idea. It would encourage people to support more, and perhaps you can trust supporters a little better than regular users. (No offense to non-supporters!) But then people might just donate one dollar so they could abuse the system... better make it tier 2 or something.

You know, when I said it, it was more of a joke. :(

Good thing is that most kids can't pay money online, so it would restrict reputation to people who are generally more mature. Although not really...

You guys have got to be kidding about making it supporter exclusive, right? That would just create more complaints than it would avoid.

I like the reputation system, it gives you an idea of what people think of your posts. Some people need to man up though, I see people who get 1 or 2 negative reps and they go and report it to an admin then make a thread complaining about it. If alot of people are neg-repping you for a particular post maybe take a look at that post and try to see why so many people neg-repped you, not all of them are abusers.

Anyways, its just a few coloured bars, if you don't like getting neg reps you should just disable it. People are taking it way too seriously. The system can be great however I think some people are being immature and not using it properly. I honestly don't mind if it was disabled, sure I like it but with all the complaints and abuse of it, I think it'd be better for PC just to disable it.

Shall we disable it altogether?

 

[bit.trip void]

Thats an absolutely brilliant idea~

To tell you the truth, at this point I wouldn't even twitch to see the reputation feature go. I mean if so many people have to constantly whine and complain about something so little almost everyday, then instead of always hearing it constantly, then just remove it.

I like the feature, and to have gotten it back was a priveledge, but to see so many either abuse it or take it a bit overboard I think is just going too far for one Pokémon Fanbased community. If no one wants to disable it or listen to what others may think, then just remove the problem instead of making it bigger.

 

[professor plum]

But then again, people might whine about not getting enough positive rep? xD;

People already do that.
A lot.
And it's sickening.

Rep, itself is cool. Abuse, however, is getting old and retarded.
Using the logic of "I liked that post" is what allows people to pozrep someone's every single post, so what's the point?

Making reputation supporter only wouldn't help, either. That's like, you have to pay to tell someone what you think of their post..? :\

Reputation should be turned off. :|

 

[Spinor]

Goddamn it. If you all keep acting like little kids, this lollipop is gonna get taken away again and you won't get it back.

I could care less about reputation. However, the prime cause of reputation abuse is because of little 10 year olds and even 8 year olds for the rare matter. A better idea to make it fair for all general population is to disable reputation to a certain age group. I don't think anyone under 12 has the maturity to handle the system and restricting to supporters will not help at all.
