Rep notfication

[Amiroslo]

I was just posting another suggestion tho :P
nthn serious

[bobsobol]

Almost nobody would get any rep then. I would only give rep if community response was high... if people don't download stuff that is posted by 0 Rep people then you are in Catch 22.

If there was a staff only rep system it would probably be negative rep... oh wait, we have this thing called "infractions"! ^_^

Chill yo!
It was a stupid suggestion xD
sorry!

[bobsobol]

Frosty here. But if you look through the history of suggestions, rep has been discussed many times, and you will see that many staff members have given consideration to many different ideas. There is a fair amount of willing to have something that works, but nothing has yet fit the bill.

The existing "depreciated" system was, I believe, so disastrously abused (actually caused a lot of fights over essentially nothing) that we will be *very* cautions before trying again.

Only mod/staff should be able to rep! :D
Rep is something to show if that guy is trusted or so
If I see someone with a bad rep (red color) I wont rlly download something from him or so. It may be a virus or something like that.

Im just tired to write in a proper language. I may edit this text later so u peeps can understand it better xD

If anything, subscribers + should be the only ones able to give rep.

Lol, no. A sub costs as little as 3$ and it's a small price to pay if you want to de-rep someone that badly.

Well, it's called create a thread for rep that is abused, then just make an appeal on why you believe you don't deserve that de-rep.

If it's necessary, then let them de-rep.

Or you could do a certain post count so like only the real active users could REP people

I hope no one is that sad that they will spend real money so they could de-rep someone

All hope must die. I can assure you that some people are. Trolling is rather like retail therapy, it becomes addictive and people will go to any length to get out there and trololololol. XD

You are right about the "active people" thing. Actually, people with rep should be able to rep other people, up or down. If the rep you give is automatically 10% of your rep and costs 5%, then:-

1. You can't rep or de-rep anyone if you don't have any rep yourself.
2. You think before you rep / de-rep, because you are giving away something you have earned and saved.
3. The more people are prepared to sacrifice their rep for you, the more your sacrifice counts when you give it. ^_^
4. Rep is constantly being generated by activity, despite the trade. (fiat currency with built in inflation, like "money")
