The reputation points are getting way out of hand. Someone keeps giving me a bad reputation for no reason and when I had -19 I couldn't post. The reputation system needs to be treated with more respect, or just get rid of it. I don't want to have to make new accounts just to post because people are idiots and give bad rep for no reason. Can someone who looks here give me positive reputation points so im not in the negatives. Please get this sorted out please..
I agree with ya, though I only got 1 stupid - reputation so far (Was a decent post in Ragemail topic, the comment was 'spammer', so yea =/)Quote:

Your reputation has nothing to do with being able to post or not, it's just a indicator of popularity, yes i said popularity, that and people exchanging rep.
Anyway why care so much, just a silly thing.
LoL! Makes me laugh because someone (Will not be named) has been sending reps saying "+1 rep me plz plz plz plz" made me laugh lol. But yes your right, if it's abused then it should be taken away.

Thats weird because when I was trying to reply to posts in the mu section, it wouldn't let me. Could an Admin or Mod look into this please.
You sure the thread wasn't locked or deleted while you was viewing it?Quote:

I think if we can limit the people who give reputations to users with at least 100 posts, there will be much less abuse
Good ideaQuote:

hey its a popularity poll, you can choose to be nice and benefit the forums, or be a mu n00b or a total asshole, the rating system is to show how people think you are.
its not so important...
Well it is Important. what if you have a guy who hates you soo bad, but he doesnt want to tell you so he just gives you Daily bad Rep??
Actually that's not what this system is for, it's actually to approve/disapprove of a certain post, sometimes a nice person can make a really retarded comment and people disapprove of it, yet people like the person.
Personally i think a overall system would be better though, like give a person a voting, like a 6 or a 7, something you can change ofcourse, that way you get a better idea of a person, because personally i only use it when a person makes a really good or bad post, there are people who generally just make normal posts and i would never rep them.
Lightwarrior, you need a x amount of reps between it, although i guess that doesn't work perfect if someone decides to just mass rep people.
It's not important and won't be used correctly by most anyway, so don't sweat it.
Just ignore it
Anyway Red is sexier that Green
Can you make it to where mods only give out rep, and then once someone has gotten high enough rep, then they can rep too?
So far i've gotten -25 rep =/ both from mods i think -_-
:) Smods and Boss shouldnt have rep :P
Rep should be used for something funny , like $ for an arcade or rpg thingie
ofc it shouldnt be abused like its been done
well at least 25 reps and cant get to the 1st rep i did today
I'd say make it have one or both of these requirements to rep:
1. 200 posts
2. Joined for over a year
It will reduce the abuse to a minimum, IMO. That will also prevent people from making accounts and mass repping for no reason.
Agree.Quote:

and this is why it is (as far as i have seen) imposible to rep someone twice so they cant abuse it. if they make multiple acounts and give you a bad rep with each of them (or you are suspicious that someone is) then contact an smod and they'll check the ip's and maybe ban the person.
who cares about rep? i mean seriously! It's just a little counter on your account showing if people like you or not. I couldent care less if people liked me or not... let alone give a crap if they voted for liking me.
Just my thoughts :)
i got negative comments for laughing at a joke in the humour section
i think i will cry :(
Don't cry :(...*sings a song for exlamatio*Quote:

Tbh with certain things they can see it's not smart to rep them anyway... unless positive ofcourse. ;)Quote:

Anyway from what i seen it really matters how much post count a person has, new accounts shouldn't be able to rep that bad.
But yeah i'd say a person has to wait untill like 200 posts to rep, not the year thing though.
so sorry ex, as i said it was an accident and i wasn't paying too much attention either (yes i am letting myself be known as he only person to ever give a bad rep to Ex =.=")Quote:
