Reputation announcement feedback.

I like this idea :D

The numbers just got too high :[

People will probably complain about comments anyways though.

Just a small note: we can still see our reputation points by clicking "add reputation" on our own posts. I'm assuming that that was meant to be gotten rid of, considering we now can't see it in our User CPs.

From what I read, it seems that the only change about the reputation is that only you can see it. I really don't see any problem with it, because there will be much less people complaining about it. Please correct me if I'm wrong. It seems to just be Constructive criticism.

Good call.

I like the fact that it's still enabled, just with the little green pips gone.

It'll finally take people's attention away from how many littles boxes they have/want. (b ' ')b
I didn't even realize it was gone until like, two minutes ago.

Well who ever said that green little pips in a Pokemon forum ever mattered?

I doubt many will use the comments as much though. Now I don't have to hear those dumb grammar killers whine about my roughness at least.

The whole notion of points has been removed, so people can no longer use the number of green pips on their profile as measurement of their e-peen, nor can they complain every time they lost one or two points because someone disagreed with them.

As I see it there was no other solution, so good call. It's a shame that a minority of members were too immature for the system to work, but such is life - a small number ruining it for everyone else. Now, how long until someone suggests a rep system in CQ&F?

Now, can any of you imagine the number of complaint threads new members will make if they peek in the FAQ and find those little questions on Rep d(''d)

I love you Audy, I really do. :3

Alright, but I don't see how people just can't get their reputation altering power taken away from them. Limiting isn't enough for them. Only the that can follow simple rules should be able to get such privileges.

But thanks for answering my question, you and Ausaudriel. I just don't like when I may be completely wrong about one thing and not notice.

I didn't actually realise the 'bars' were gone.. until I saw the announcement.

It was a nice feature, but was generally abused. It was kinda annoying to see people talking about their neg rep all the time but I can't imagine what it was like for the admins etc.

Question: Are there gonna be notifications for these "Post Comments"?

I'm sure that's been considered by the admins in the run-up to the removal of the points system (one user was placed in his own special usergroup so that he could neither give nor receive reputation - he was arguably the catalyst for the furore about the system), but any negative comments received won't actually do anything to a figure. Should there be comments that flame a user I believe the higher staff (or at least some of the higher staff) would be prepared to deal with the perpetrator/s.

I am really glad you guys did this, honestly the complaints and all threads made were starting to annoy everyone and the system wasn't that good anyway. The main thing that ruined it was immature people complaining at everyone little thing, they were just green bars lol

Kudos to the admins anyway, its pretty nice how we don't see the bars or get notifications anymore.

I'm glad it's been disabled frankly. Good work PC.

Wait, are you supposed to see the reputation of the person? I just did it, and I saw the rep, clear as day.

This does appear to happen. The rep pip appears after submitting a comment. It disappears if you navigate away and then go back to the post.

I was one of those people who wanted the system removed because of various reasons.
Therefore, I'm kinda happy that it got removed.

It made the process of sharing opinions very tough. And most people were too immature to understand the true purpose of it.
The system was literally used as a weapon when someone hated somebody else.
And the system was also highly used as a measure of how famous you are, or something close to this point.

But yeah, this new system is almost totally going to be ignored by 98% of the members.
Even then, I'm hoping complains about comments that deal with flaming or insult of some sort can still be contested to an admin.

Well I, for one, am disappointed with this change.

I wonder if the change will be reverted if I complain enough :P

I mentioned in the convo, but Audy probably didn't see...

How about editing Spey's permissions? iirc it was only disabled for him because of complaining about bad rep and the... high number abuse (or something else, idk)... and since it's a semi-new start, he should get another chance?
