Should we keep the Rep-System?

[Lion Heart]

Do you believe the Rep system should stay or go?

I can't do jack about it, but I want to see what the results are of this.

It's either you choose stay or go, no in between.

I'm for keeping it but there should be a way to stop abuse, besides disabling it.

 

[Lord Jaws]

XD at your plaigarism of my idea. XD XD. But I say it stays.

 

[Kyogre-chan]

I somehow know that a good portion of PC members will vote to keep it.

In other words, I'm all for getting rid of it.

 

[Kylie-chan]

I thought rep polls were not allowed. *reports*

But I'm all for keeping it XP </bias>

7) No Polls on Reputation
We've had many polls on reputation, and nearly all have them have ended up being closed. So, to prevent them in the future, just don't post any polls about rep.

So... *CLOSED*

If you alter the idea/topic, I can reopen it and move it to the feedback forum, PM me if you want to.

*Re-Opened* *Edited* and *Moved*

This poll's been carried out way too many times before, and the answer is always the same: the rep system stays, if you have problems disable your rep. >_>

 

[Eon-Rider]

I want it to stay because I find other forums boring because they didnt have it.

 

[DragonTrainer]

Get rid of it and make it die a slow and painful death

 

[Geometric-sama]

What, a death point by point?

Each day, every member's rep is reduced by 10 or 20 points until they sicken of seeing red dots by their name and disable their rep XD

 

[Cyndaquil]

I want to keep it, for fun..
But in my opnition (Bad spelling...) we could try to "hide" it in a month and pause the rep calculator to test if there will be lesser spam...

 

[Kyogre-chan]

For fun, that's what they all say. The rep system was designed for one to applaud/smite another on a post, not for people to go around giving out random good rep with comments like "Have some rep!" Sure, people are trying to be nice, but we've had this discussion so many times that you can't say they aren't abusing the system.

I actually saw something interesting outside of fanfic, and just couldn't resist myself to post on this one.

I, of course, voted on getting rid of it. Reasons? Well...

a) Personal experiences
The fact that I guessed how more ppl in PC will like Latias more than Latios earned me a rep point... oh it's 50/50% chance minimum to some free rep!

b) "Activity is Rep"
There's a heck of a lot of morons out there with full bar rep (yes, I am saying and implying that some of you guys out there are in need of some special lessons on reading what is posted on page 1 before you comment on page 10, along with typing out a post in proper english instead of "1 P\/\/|\| JO0 @LL" and what other junk like that, but I'm not saying any names so *DUN DUN DUN*). Well, how did these morons get so much rep? They're just online 24/7 with a huge scary number called, the post count. Well, any new members know that people with superior post counts are Gods, and therefore, must be worshipped.

c) Rep abuse / Rep trade
Ok some people talked about this already so I'll skip and go on



However, if we aren't going to get rid of the rep system, there's still a way to use the rep system properly.

Instead of looking for the green reps, look for the red reps.

If you got a red rep, very likely you must have spoke something daring yet truthful, striking anger and frustration into the hearts of somebody out there. As an act of revenge, they shall bombard you with the red reps. Therefore, if you got a lot of red reps, then you must be quite a truthful person!

(warning: truthful doesn't necessarily mean a "good" or "moral" person)

Frosty posted outside of Pokemon fanfiction! *GASP* The world is ending!

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

THE WORLD'S GOING TO DIE! Although it's nearly time for you to read my fic! XD

But, on topic, I don't think it should be removed, but it should be given a restart, as its unfair on certain people who actually rep and are repped upon good and decent + bad and undecent posts. Whilst I'm not entirely bothered about it... I think that a restart would be best. If we can't do that, then I just say get rid of it :/

 

[Kira]

I want it too stay, It's kewl XD

 

[Happy Dude]

I don't mind Rep.I mean their just little green silly blocks.I don't know why everyone makes such a big deal of them.

But MCD you are right i think reps need a restart.People are just asking for Rep Nowdays.

 

[Lion Heart]

Is there no way to simply stop the abuse without getting rid of it or disabling it?

It's a nice little feature to have and adds a little something to PC, but the abuse of it is what I'm worried about.

I think if we could find a way to stop abusers, I think it could work out well.

 

[Scyther]

it should stay ^^
giving ppl rep for good deeds is somthing great

 

[Avegaille]

^I think the rep is just fine and dandy here.... no offence.... since I was a member for only one month and I got too many reps.... where did all of those came from... O_o;;;

>Anyway, I'm trying to avoid the random rep thing, and give reps to those people who deserve them......

 

[Chrono Cr@cker]

I kinda like MCD's idea and yeah, the reputation system could be re-started and well, I think you should assign an active super-mod on the job. In the control Panel, he should view most of the reps and see if that post really deserves one. If it doesn't, then he could PM that member and warn him. If that still didn't work, well Remove that member's rep giving power.

*CC Thinks this is a good idea*.

I know mods can't be on all the time, but well atleast more than 1/2 of the rep points could be supervised.
