I think CC has a nice idea, but I think supervising 1/2 rep given out would be too tough a job, even for someone specifically moded for it.

It would take up to much of their time.
 
Moderating every single rep comment really would be too much. In theory it would work great, but its hardly very practical, as there are at lease 4000 active members here to date.
 
I say the REP system stays. I feel its to know if this person is good or if this person is bad.

We also do have a overall of 49 moderator here. Most of PC's mods are much more active than members. So if each mod is given the power to "view" the reputations given in his forum alone, then he can easily decipher it to be an unneeded number and warn the members about it.

Mod : Member Ratio = 50 : 3000 (Since most of the users are not active and many ID's have been changed or merged).
=1 : 60. So I think half of this could easily be managed by mods. I still like this idea and I'm all for it but let's see what other members think of it. Also extremely active moderators like Kyogre-Chan, etc could be given the power to view mroe forums than his.

I still think it would be an extremely tough task on behalf of the mods, though, if they were able to view the reps given out through the whole area, it could probably be reduced in time by alot.

I have no idea if when mods/admins view rep they can see everything in the area or just the thread they are in, I think if they could view all reps in the entire forum they are in though, it'd work out nicely.

This could also bring up forums without mods though, which will have to be done by a higher staff member, who may not have enough time to keep an eye on those forums aswell as doing the job they have already been assigned at the same time.
 
Somehow I don't think that Steve is going to give everyone access to the Admin CP. Even if it is something as little as reputation -_-

Besides, reputation is not grouped into sections like forums and whatnot. It's just for each individual user, so it would be stupid to say that I could have all the users with the letter A, Kelsey could have teh letter B and so on. So... it just wouldn't work at all.

Do super-mods have access to the admin CP? Wow! I never did know that. I just thought Steve found a way to bring the Rep option into the Moderators Control Panel.

Yeah, Stevie would never give all mods the access to the Admin CP, so case closed. Anyway the system could be re-started and well Mature members and mods should report the rep they get which they do not deserve (though hardly anyone would do this for good rep.XD) and Super-Mods and above could just keep on eye on the recent reps when they are online.

MCD have a point.The rep should get a total restart.Everybody will have ten like everyone else when you first register to PC.Also I think there should be some rules for it.The random rep causes problems a lot and other things.So some rules are needed like I said before but I would like it to stay.
 
No. It comes as part of the S-Mod CP. Some bits of the Admin CP (Such as mass moving and pruning) are taken from it, and given to S-Mods. But to do what you're thinking of, you'll need the whole User reputation part of the CP, which Steve wouldn't give out.
 
I remember Arcanine saying something along the lines of the amount of posts you've made adds something to your rep power.

Wouldn't that affect a restart?
 
Rep Power is your total rep divided by 30 for good rep power, and total rep halved for bad rep power. I don't believe postcount has anything to do with it... I think... o.o
 
Actually, Super Mods are able to ban and edit profiles via the Mod CP, so they don't need Admin CP access. ^_^;

And I like your idea CC, except for one thing. It'd be easy to check all reps given in the last 24 hours, but there are some people out there who don't abuse the system, and people have different views on each post. For example, one person may love a post, while another person finds it offensive. Staff shouldn't be judging whether or not reputation given by each member is acceptable. =\

Andy did said that once.You can give rep depending on your postcount but it has to be a lot of posts.
 
Er... we can't edit profiles, Ty. We don't have all of Users in the CP. All we can do is Ban, change: sigs, avatars and profile pictures, and edit the comments given in rep. We can look at profiles, but can't edit and save...
 
Exactly what I was talking about. XP

And it's true that postcount very narrowly affects your rep power. For every 1,000 posts you make, 1 rep power is gained... I think. o.o

EDIT: Aye. It's midnight, quiet. ~_~;

Another good point you've pointed out Ty. There may be some posts as to which even moderators are confused whether the rep is needed or not (face it, you guys are human). But there are some posts which anyone can clearly point out that, they do not require reps.
Just for example, not pointing out anybody::

If you give a good reputation to this post saying "Good idea, my thoughts exactly", it may lead to some debate.

Rep given :: "u r like sO pop".

On the other hand, can't even a newbie notice that this rep was not needed. These kind of reputations are "ABUSING THE REP". But it'll be a very hazardous job for super-moderators and above to keep track of everything but they can just keep an eye on things whenever they are online and I almost always see one super-moderator(or above) online.

Not on topic or anything, since I have no further input into the conversation other thn it should have an eye kept on it.

I'd just like to point out that the with my time zone (+10) there are many times I'm online and there is no one of authority online at all, not even a mod.

Usually, Ty is on, but at times there is simply no one, only ordinary members like me.
 
I like to point out , one thing , whenever exists Rep will exist Rep Abuse, you cant to stop everymember abusing , lets see how many members we got here.

Theres thousands of posibilities,i think Rep should exist , its a nice adittion and so far i havent seen a wave of bad reps , i think right now your having rep supervision or something like that , if you want let it be , but rep surpervision can only work if the mod or s mod , lower staff have acesss to the vB control panel. And in adition to that its a hard work
