Board Admin - Some advice on Rep Points
 

We've had it on a board I admin for some time now. It does nothing but causes problems. So much so, we've implemented a month ban on anyone complaining about rep points.

But, if you are going to turn them on, also turn on negative rep points. What use is the rep system if you don't have the negative rep points on. We'd all love to be able to see the rep system show that the poster is an idiot/troll.

It says I Approve, or I Disapprove, so I assume the Disapprove thing is already negative rep in action.

I think if you reach a certain negative that you should be banned for a month, then forever.

Cool beans. This should wean out the morons real quick if everyone uses it right.

ok,thanks,i´ll consider it.

So beautiful yet so...

I was really surprised it was turned on here

There are a few people with red so negative must be on already.

Negative is turned on, and we are still testing to see if this is the option we want to use. We are closely monitoring the feedback and progress of the option.

yes, the system could be improved no doubt. most ppl here can't rep the other because of low post count.

the whole system should have been announced with policy in the first minute.

I am pretty sure that the reason is to keep up the high traffic epass caused... :P and make ppl post like crazy..

I am trying to keep hard at work gotta keep the boss happy. You know I meant concur. ;]

The problem with the rep system is that the more points you have, the more influential you get. One click on the rep from an influential person can ruin the rep for somebody who's starting out.
I am not saying that people should even care about it, but that's how it goes.

I still do not get the point of it.

I don't see how to give someone rep, what am I missing...I'm getting old.

i guess it's interesting getting 'silent minority' feed back on ones posts

just Reppppped u :helpme

So beautiful yet so busy... :winkwink:!

filtering annoying trolls, boring surfers and scammers?

lol i still cant figure out for the life of me how to see rep points.

hey mofo, rep me :upsidedow

Negative rep points is turned on..............

I don't even see the option to rep people, I only see the icon on my own posts.

BTW: my rep is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge!!

:)

Same here. No biggie

me too...

I don't think it's a good idea on a 'business' board, unless it was a system like ebay where it is based on business transactions,

although I know the use of it here is novelty, it is inevitable that some will misinterpret the meaning when looking for who to do business with or not, whether them or those they are promoting in their sigs or posts

I hope everyone is aware that shark's have a week dedicated to Juicy...

Share the love!

Same here... where is that rep button located? I see the green thing under nicks, that's it.

Also, a rep system of a board called " Go Fuck Yourself " is weird.

PS: I'm buying rep points! heh

ok,why the fuck i have a bad rep now :(

:1orglaugh

Just like high post count means jack shit,
Rep will to. Just means you can kiss ass real well(Rep Me Bro)

She likes 'em huge. :winkwink:

I'm not sure if there are hooks to do this but it might be useful to tie it in so that someone with negative rep can post no more than one reply every five minutes or post one new topic per day. Might be helpful for dealing with "sig whores". As long as the restrictions aren't too bad it won't be a big deal for someone who gets dinged unjustly.

Can I be your boss? My demands are probably less than your current boss. People know me. I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

:Graucho Oh you know me too well. JK

Oh Ron, there are literally thousands of other men that I should be with instead, but I am 72 percent sure that I love you.

ooh, come on :1orglaugh

You'll be sure when I try on this new Sex Panther cologne. 60% of the time, it works every time. Made with bits of real panther.

LOL,things are getting worse with every post.
I need a rep loan but i don´t have a bankable security.
HEEELP
