Reputation Part 2 - Post Reputation Issues Here

[ragingspeedhorn]

Most forums don't have special memberships, this is only the third forum I have been to (out of around 50) which have something like that.

Question: Will reputation effect the way people treat him\her?

I have noticed people started to go overboard when they got +1 or+2 rep.
Do we really need +5000 for taking over the net!?
If I'm wrong, tell me so.

well, sometimes yes, sometimes no.
There are people who care about rep (like me ), and others who don't give a s**t (sorry) about it.It's up to whom you are dealing with.

 

[tom_mai78102]

OK!

Note to self: Reputation is mind-controlled.
Reputation is what I like!
If I could stay 1 or 2 reputations, I would say that I'm the strangest kid ever.

That true....but if you have a problem then most will take any advice..part from doing anything drastic...i personally react better to people who make a few good quality posts....people who seem to post for the sake of getting there counts up really annoy me......theres one i can think of straight off (and i didnt mean you NiKaNoRoU_GR.......but i wont put the name).

I just wish that when people have something to ask instead of putting the questions in one at a time...they would link them together..this will affect if i geve rep or not....and thats why i think your rep score is important

Since I don't spend much (if any at all) time in WE anymore, I get rep for jokes and stories, or rewards for enforcing rules in a way people like...

So I only ever look at my rep to see how cool people think I am XD

 

[tom_mai78102]

You would be getting reps for free, you know?

I would say if anyone who cares for people a lot would give reps for people who has the fewest reps ever, I'd say that person has the heart to be an adminstrator.


I never thought that you could get reps for just telling jokes, and stuffs.

Teach me how.

 

[DM Cross]

People misunderstand the rep system. It should be used when someone helps someone else. However, it's typically used when someone sees a post, or even just a comment in a post that they like. People can rep for really any reason.

I rarely rep people. I rarely see things that I think deserve rep. I almost never -rep anyone. I should start more, though

 

[chris]

Rep does not really matter that much...and you can be given it for making jokes.....its stilll part of the forum....

tom_mai78101..my advice to you is go for quality over quantity.....make sure your helpful and un annoying..dont post every two second and just keep visiting the site giving rep when you feel you need to. I give rep for loads of different reasons...but if i find someone annoying..(like trying to post to much rubbish)..they dont get rep very often

I will say this one more time........reps have nothing to do with weather you become an SM or Mod.....the staff decide between themselves if you should be an sm or mod...so just dont annoy them by giving them a load of work they dont need to be doing

Actually, in the beginning of the SM program, most people got to be candidated by getting to 75 rep. However, the secret was out soon afterward and everyone was trying to get rep just to become an SM.

Nowadays, though, we take a list of people who seem to deserve it and the SMs actually vote for it They get to pick and choose their own buddies XD

Little TH.net history lesson.

 

[chris]

I know........Its a better system to have the current SMs voting on it though..makes it so much more deserved.....like you said "everyone was trying to get rep just to become an SM" and that stops it being so special.

 

[tom_mai78102]

What the hell?

I don't care about reps. I just want to post things. I have problems throughout my entire life, maybe you won't believe it.

I'm helpful. I helped Seth, MercChris, KMAlchemist, and others.

If you are thinking that I am unhelpful, could you prove it?

And for the last time, people: I hate to be +rep!!
The first actually!
Fair? :|

I thought this thread was about reputation problems.

 

[DM Cross]

Eh, 3 posts ago we were discussing how the rep system is flawed, thus a problem... But now, I'm with you, Rab.

You guys don't really need to discuss your opinions of each other's helpfulness here XD Please use the PM system!

Thank you.

 

[tom_mai78102]

Question: If a person is off-topic, is there a way to -rep someone just because he got off-topic?

Back to topic, guys.
--------------------------------

 

[DM Cross]

You just -rep them like you normally would. But we stress on members not to enforce the rules. Mods and Admins do that.

Why do we stress this? Well, let's say someone double posts. And a member sees it, posts not to double post and -reps someone. Well... What if every member who looks at that thread decides to play the part of enforcer and -reps the poor soul? A mistake could get you a nice collection of -rep. Then an Admin has to go and delete all that -rep, since that's over doing it a LOT!

So if you see someone breaking the rules, just report the post Or PM a mod with a link to the thread. We'll take care of it

 

[chris]

I dont think that people have had any real trouble with the rep system...it seems to be standard in most forums....I only use it as a way of getting a 'feel' of how helpful people are likely to be.

I dont really see a fairer or better system than the current one as everyones going to have a different opinion of a post.

 

[tom_mai78102]

How about this:

Someone below "New Member": Don't add the reputation feature.
Someone above "New Member" or is one, add the feature.

Would it work?

 

[DM Cross]

People with no rep cannot give -rep. They can give 1 point of rep. The Rep system depends on the Rep system XD

 

[chris]

That seems like a good idea kinda....but weve all gotta start off somewhere and it would only be worth it if the problems with rep came from new users....but its still a bloody good idea
