It's rep ban because some members just goes around giving bad rep for no reason. It don't matter if it was a good post or a bad one.LittleFascistPanties said:I don't really understand this reputation ban thing. If someone gives bad rep to another person, then obviously, the person has a bad reputation.
Even if someone doesn't like the other for an extremely dumb reason, you still can't dodge that fact.
Think about kids in school, sometimes kids are hated(or disliked, hate is waaaay too strong of a word), for trivial reasons, like what clothes they wear or something. See, one person may have a bad reputation for something dumb, but you can't dodge the fact that he/she is still hated.
The next thing I was wondering about was what if 'bad rep is the new good rep'. I was about to actually thinking of starting telling everyone to give me bad rep. But now because of this ban, I'm afraid people will get banned because they like my posts XD

That's what I want, just to lose the whole thing all together and be done with all this <_<;;.Kyogre-chan said:If bad rep is such an issue, why not disable rep altogether to prevent this issue from growing? It's either the members complain now, or they complain later after being spammed by bad rep.
But their post or something is generally disliked/hated. I didn't mean to target what I said to the person itself.DF dadragonz said:Just because some ppl do give bad rep for spammy reasons doesnt mean the person receiving it is generally disliked/hated :\
Kyogre-chan said:It beats sitting back and watching people continue to encourage rep abuse. Don't you agree?
Erica did check every IP on the prez voting.DF dadragonz said:i dont think anyone will go to the effort of going thru and checking ips -that wasnt even done for the presidential election ^^;
plus ppl can change their ips and vote :\
Well that's a good idea on the IPs. But it should be by the members because this is about them.LittleFascistPanties said:I'll make my little 2-cent off-topic reply now XD
Since the before the begining of the bare thought of even having Presidential Elections for PC, I suggested that we had all of the staff be the ones to vote.
Unless one IP has alot of Mod accounts on it, that was kinda impossible to cheat on.
And the thought of a person having a dynamic IP with multiple mod accounts seems kinda slim.
So yea XD
Member A joins the forum. Member B greets them, and becomes friends with them. Several other members join and become their friends, so they organise a constant chain of good rep. Other members see this, think "Hey! They're doing it, so it must be alright!", and thus, they begin to follow in their footsteps. Then the process begins all over again. *sigh* Abuse never ends...DF dadragonz said:Kyogre, noone is "encouraging" rep abuse
If you read my post, i suggested reporting any problems with a specific member to higher staff such as smods and up.
