Yes I know your amount of displayed reputation power isn't accurate. I'm working to fix the problem.

Oh Neo, the amount of displayed reputation power isn't accurate.

rep sucks anyway, just take it out.

theres no flood of new people here, and everyone knows each other so all anyone does anymore is give each other good reps. i give people good reps with negitive comments now. lol. theres just no point in -rep'n anyone.

sides that, its not annonamous so if ppl did give -reps to each other, then wouldnt be a fun place.

What exactly is reputation er points or power or whatever that new number is?

It sucks that you have to have reputation in order to have better privileges. I only recently got the P1 capabilities, and I know for a fact that it will take a while to get to P4. I think that those privileges should be determined by post count, because even though there are a few members who post a lot, not everyone can speed to 1000 posts in a few months.

Yes, what does reputation power do/mean?

DeathsHand · 07-19-2004, 05:08 PM

I like reputation when people give me some...

thatmariolover · 07-19-2004, 05:12 PM

Yeah. I was the only one who said it from the getgo. Reputation is a bad idea. Always has been, always will be.

gekko · 07-19-2004, 05:14 PM

And that's why you have no rep.

ominub · 07-19-2004, 05:19 PM

Hmm. I dont really mind the rep system. Never really bothered me.

[sarcasm]Oh is that why? Thanks for making such a contribution to the forum with that post.[/sarcasm]

At any rate, I've never personally been in favor of it, but I've not gotten a whole lot of voice on the matter. It's cool, but I think that limiting peoples functionality on the forums is lame (based on rep at least). It's just not an accurate system to tracking the 1337 people on the forums and rewarding them. As it is now, there are a lot of very well respected people on this board that are getting a bad end of the deal. There are many people I have great respect for with lower rep than those who don't have my respect. Often just because they're not scoping out "post here for rep" threads (exaggerated obviously, but you get my point).

I guess if I want all of those fancy shmancy features I'll have to work to get a higher rep count.

But sometimes it's the things that people don't post that makes me like them more.

I kinda like the rep system, but it is flawed in sorts of ways, but i want it to stay here.

Although i dont understand getting rewards for having lots of rep, say you say something that offends a powerful person, they could take you down a few nothces, i dont think thats all to fair.

But i cannot see a way around it, except for taking rep out, which i am opposed to.

EDIT: and how does this rep power thing work? Cuz i have more rep ( i think) than thatmariolover, yet he has more rep power than me...and he only has about 100 more posts than me too...im confused..
