Bad Reps
I believe this is where this should go. I believe instead of looking at whether we should keep the rep system or not, as it will obviously win any poll that is bought up on the topic, I believe we should be answering this question: Should bad (and possibly good) reps have usernames attached by force? IMO this would reduce rep abuse alot as ppl would think twice before repping someone as there would be a possible consequence to their actions. So I ask, Should Bad Rep have names attached to them by force?

At the current time, there's no way to differentiate good rep from bad rep when allowing all members to see who left the reputation. ^_^;
Anyway, I'm gonna have to disagree. If somebody gets a bad rep, this idea would cause flame wars. If somebody gets a good rep, this idea would cause more rep abuse. |
I dont know if ppl would start threads over one persons bad rep, because as Ive been told multiple times if its only one bad rep from one person get over it. Also Im sure the admins can be strict about making threads like those. The worst I can see of it is rep wars being started, but alot less reps would be handed out from the change IMO.

i agree with kyogre-chan it would cause so many flame wars anyways it's just reputation think of it as someone dissagreeing of what you said or agreeing it's nothing serious.

unfortunely the rep system isn't all that flexible.. it's not a required item, but is wholely optional and is just used to get a feel for each members posts.. abusing it serves no purpose other then to make you look bad and hurt the feelings of others.. why not, instead, educate users on it's proper usage and perhaps all of PC can benifit from it.

I think if members could see who left the rep then it would be bad.
Lets say that a member left a bad rep on another member. Well the member that got the rep might look at it in a bad way and start flaming. Then both members get in a fight and their friends jump it. And in the end it's not going to look pretty. I just think it's best if members couldn't see who left rep. |
I agree with Andy, It's not a good idea to do that...
Once I got a bad rep from doing a post fro dakota cause of him being mean to one of the artists on the art forum and calling them names. I'm not sure who gave me that bad reputation point but I'm sure at the time if I saw who did it I would have been ticked and attacked them inside and out of this forum cause I was only standing up for the community of artists that are there. However now a days I dont care who gave it to me, even if that was Dakota himself. I deserved it for not grabing the facts, even though at the time I didnt believe it but at the same time its best for us to just place the "~ user" on the text for good reps so people can know who did it ^^. I love knowing that RD, Piro, Dragonair, FG and many of my other friends given me reputation points. |
I get a bunch of bad reps with no names attached with the words
"I like charizard better than heracross" I want to know who did that so I can report them. Sometimes they have no words at all |

What I see from most of the staff posting here is this: Quote:

Yes, in the end, the bad unnecessary rep or/and the flame war that would MAYBE start because of the rep, would have to be brought to the higher staff's attention, but the point that I am trying to get across is that most unnecessary bad reps would most likely drop in count because of the fact that the people who give out the unnecessary bad rep now know they will be caught and something will be done about it. At the moment, they probably think that they have less of a chance to get caught. *Just make sure that I didn't give this idea to stop bad reps in general, but the unnecessary ones that are just blank or have unncessary comments and words in them. |

People would give out bad reps, just as long as they could justify why they gave it. |
Umm... I agree,Andy. He is right.

Although this would most likely solve the problem of rep abuse, there's a possibility that it would bring even more problems. It's a good idea, but eventually we'd get a member who takes bad rep too personally, and will go out and start bad repping the person who bad repped him. In a way, it might bring even more rep abuse. =\ I guess we could give it a shot, and then just kill the idea if too many people were abusing it.
|
Yeah a trial would be what Id like the most (obviously). But surely the mods/admins can be stricter about rep abuse. Like punishment for repeat offenders or something.

Wow people, don't just post I agree with so and so, at least put some thought into your post, otherwise it is considered SPAM ;)
|
Just think though. In Andys scenario, the ppl who are foolish enough to get into those wars would soon have no rep left and wouldnt be able to continue being foolish, it kind of solves itself, even if there is a casualty or 2.
|
I say yes...just, cause O_o
|
W00t a Praetor that agrees. That can only be good. Oi Blue what do you think?
|
I say yes, it's not like we are all out to get revenge on people.
Seeing peoples names could help out, you could explain the meaning of the post to whoever it was, so they don't have any serious hard feelings. |
I say no-If people are using rep like they should be using it, they'll leave a comment of why they bad repped them. Plus there are some bad sports that get really mad at any bad rep at all.
