I agree about admins by the way. It shouldn't be there period.

 

But the rep was good for all of the other things I said. It also helped some people "get the picture" -- and change their debating methods. When you write something offesive and people argue with you its one thing, but if you get extremely low points after tht - it affects a bit more.

 

And the other way around too. The only thing that people should think of is that it doesnt matter what OPINION is written -- what matters as rep points is the WAY people argue.. but that's individual I guess.

 

Anyways I'd still be happy to see it back

 

~moo

I think in principle it's a great idea, but it's pretty much impossible to implement in a way that suits everybody.

how 'bout an "invisible" one then?

 

I just thought of that. A Reputation system that is not visible to users, only admins. That way if i find a post degrading or BAD i mark it and report it bad, and the other way around. It's invisible so things are not abused much - but admins might be able to use it to see if someone's being an idiot for a long period of time and warn him or.. err.. something...

 

 

just a random thought.

 

~moo

It means, however, putting a certain element of trust into a system that you can't see or complain about; and as such that's probably a bad idea on a public forum.

Mooeypoo,

 

Mods and Administrators seem to have this super-human ability to spot idiots already. The reputation system was mostly for new users.

Still.

 

I don't want to name people, but it is PROVEN to work.

To aommaster : "You're only 16, you don't have a rep yet."

 

Can you guess where that is from? Hint think 'sit-com'.

Still.

How is it proven?

I ahve two things to say to that:

 

a) I have no clue where it comes from, I don't really watch alot of sit-coms

b) What is the relevancy of this?

what is the reputation system?

It's a system where you grant reputation.

haha i kinda figured that. a little more detail?

People would be given positive or negative reputation if it were felt that the post deserved it, and it was summed on the profile page.

Ahhh, I never noticed it before

Its gone now. But, you could give and take away points depending on your OWN reputation. A person with higher reputation points could give or take more reputation points from another person, than someone with a lower reputation. It kind of filters out the goodies and the baddies! So you know who to listen to!

You've only been here since June, I think the rep system was taken down some time ago.
