I think the posting ban in unnecessary. =\ If we find users breaking PC rules through rep, we can move them into that new group. Since they can’t use rep anymore, the other steps wouldn’t be needed. And if they use things like PMs/posts to attack members, we’ll deal with them as we would any other case.

…and I didn’t realize this was in Announcements. Heh heh. <_<

Anyways, opinion still stands; we should just disable their rep if we find them leaving comments such as that.

I think the rep stuff started getting out of hand during the summer...July?
IMO, it wasnt the spam that killed the crush thread, it was those "gimme rep" posts all over there -_- *misses poor crush thread* XD

And to think at one time we was thinking of ways to get members to use the rep system more. I do think reps are getting way, way out of hand. You now got a bunch of members just going around giving bad rep for nothing.

Like said before, anyone who does this will be put in the new usergroup. I am kind of fed up with all the members going around giving bad rep for nothing. I know it's just rep, but the members getting the rep is not liking it and is starting threads about it.

The irony of the whole thing...X_X
Maybe it will die down after a while and be the way it used to be like.

Well, I hope it does, coz I just got a bad rep for a post in 'The One Above^' thread, a harmless post made by me. I didn't even get a comment! You can read the post for yourself if you don't believe me. I got a bad rep for this post : http://pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=601051#post601051

Wow, that's ridiculous. I have been having that problem too. except, they won't even type in "why" they are giving me the bad rep. They just give it to me. I got bad rep just for saying I did not know how to make hacks.

Maybe we should have a bad rep-reporting thread, where you report bad rep points that you got for a stupid reason. Then the Praetors/Admins can look into it, considering they can see who gave who rep. We'd probably have to add it to the rules though...

Hmmm....All this made me look for a solution and I thought of a reasonable one. You can accept it if you want, but don't diss me if you don't like it. This is a suggestion, I can't implement it as u know, so dont diss me for this.
Maybe we can completely remove the disapprovals side and keep only the I approve thing. So that way we don't have to remove the rep system and no one will be able to abuse it either. So only if someone really likes a post they can approve...

The reputation system is actually built into vBulletin. Editing out the bad rep will probably be too much of a hassle. Besides, then the newbies would start complaining because they're unable to express their immaturity. It was a good suggestion, though. ^^

well Jason, you were calling youself "elite", and when you brag about your own skills like that im afraid ppl are bound to disagree with you ^^;
it's best not to brag to avoid receiving bad rep in your case :)

i have received pointless bad rep in the past, but also pointless good from ppl who just want rep back :\ (I PM the ppl, who give rep and ask for it back, and ask them never to give me rep again XD ) im just glad to receive some nice comments from ppl ^^
rep is a nice extra, but shouldnt be taken so seriously as to think ppl with lower rep are less worthy or something :\

You can just turn your own off, that way if you want it you can have it and if you don't you don't have to.


"One reason why mathematics enjoys special esteem, above all other sciences, is that its laws are absolutely certain and indisputable, while those of other sciences are to some extent debatable and in constant danger of being overthrown by newly discovered facts."
Albert Einstein

"What science can there be more noble, more excellent, more useful for men, more admirably high and demonstrative than mathematics."
Benjamin Franklin

"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty – a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of paintings or music, yet sublimely pure and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show."
Bertrand Russell
