mooeypoo Posted May 15, 2004 Posted May 15, 2004 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
Dave Posted May 15, 2004 Posted May 15, 2004 I think in principle it's a great idea, but it's pretty much impossible to implement in a way that suits everybody.
mooeypoo Posted May 15, 2004 Posted May 15, 2004 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
Dave Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 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.
jordan Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 Mooeypoo, Mods and Administrators seem to have this super-human ability to spot idiots already. The reputation system was mostly for new users.
mooeypoo Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 Still. I don't want to name people, but it is PROVEN to work.
PerpetualYnquisitive Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 To aommaster : "You're only 16, you don't have a rep yet." Can you guess where that is from? Hint think 'sit-com'.

aommaster Posted May 17, 2004 Author Posted May 17, 2004 To aommaster : "You're only 16' date=' you don't have a rep yet." Can you guess where that is from? Hint think 'sit-com'.[/quote'] 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?

JaKiri Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 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.
aommaster Posted July 29, 2004 Author Posted July 29, 2004 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!
Dave Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 You've only been here since June, I think the rep system was taken down some time ago.
