Disable negative reputation

I think that would be a nice idea, if the admins can be bothered putting it in :P XD
 
Except that there's very few staff with FTP access :P You know how long it took them to reinstall a hack we mods needed? XD
 
Will you mean for not for people to get bad rep.Good Idea.People do abuse it.
 
Sounds like a good addtion. There are many complaints form people who complain on bad reps and others giving negative rep at random. Although that would just lose the point of the whole reputation system since its suppose to be for good/bad rep both. And if there is only good rep, then all members would have good rep alot. :\
 
i would like it disabled i got bad rep just for creating a request thread? anymroe random than that the whole system gets abused
 
Why wont PC just download something that will show who gave the bad rep so they could be warned about it and never do it agian.
 
Actually PC do have that and its on Admin CP, and for mods and up when you see the rep, we are able to see who left it.
Admins can view all rep left by users on Admin CP and they can get rid of it or find out who did what.

I say just get rid of rep altogether. I was tired of bad reps which is why I disabled it for myself.

This disables the use of this hack~
If ya dont wanna recieve bad rep, just turn it off~
 
What's the use of karma if you can't get any bad?
 
Why should we install this hack.Don't you think it would be easier to turn it off instead.
 
Disabling bad rep kills the entire purpose of rep. Nearly everyone would disable being able to recieve bad rep, so there'd be tons of members (some not deserving) with heaps of good rep.
If you don't like bad rep, disable it all together.
 
Like Alex said, a hack isn't necessary.

But anyway, disabling bad rep kinda destroys the cycle. You get good rep for posts others like, and vice versa for posts others dislike. If people want to abuse that, it's their problem.

I might as well offer my own suggestion... Members of the main usergroup are unable to give rep. However, they can post in a subforum under New Users/Welcome (or somewhere else) after they get a certain amount of posts, and ask to have rep giving enabled. Should somebody who got rep find it abusive, they could contact a higher staff member, and if the staff member agrees, the rep gets deleted and the abuser gets moved into a different group of which the members can't give rep, so the staff know they abused rep.

Sound good? XD
 
Ty, we already have a no-rep-giving usergroup that members are put into if they are reported to be abusing rep ^^;
It would be kinda pointless just turning off bad rep -i just wish people weren't so sensitive to it. We all receive bad rep at some point, but if someone seems to continually bad rep you, you just report it to a praetor/admin
 
That's true, rep is only what other people think of you. But Claire, would you mind reading my full suggestion...? ^^;

=/ Yeah, like ^ says, it would defeat the whole point of having reputation. I personally haven't seen people with very low reputation and most people tend to ignore it anyway. I would just keep it on / off altogether.
 
Well it might be good and all. But there isn't much need for the whole rep system if you take out one side of it. If you are getting bad rep a lot then just PM one of the Admins and we can check and see if it's the same member or if it's a real rude or bad comment we can delete it.

DP's suggestion: Well members won't be able to give any rep (their rep power is 0) till they have been a PC member at least a month, or have at least 100 posts or have 30 rep points (I think it's around 30). And even then their rep power is only 1 (well if they were a member for a month, have 100 posts and have 30 points then it will be 3), so it really wouldn't matter.
And re really do have too many member usergroups. O_o
