A Comment on the Reputation System

[FakeBoobsRule]

Before I start I just want to thank the mods and administrators for their hard work and I am glad they added the reputation system. However, there is a choice for negative reputation and I have no problem with that. What I don't like is when someone leaves negative reputation, it is done anonymously. If someone is going to say something negative about you it should have their name tagged to it. It is to easy for someone to hide behind a nameless insult just because their name is not attached to it. I have no problem if someone disagrees with me on something and wants to disagree with what I have to say but to attack the member is poor forum etiquette. I am pretty sure I know who did it and they have been banned but that is so childish and immature. I have posted on a forum that uses a similar format or template as this one and I am pretty sure that the anonymity feature can be turned on or off so if I am wrong I apologize to the mods and admins. I am also aware that there are cons to attaching member's names to reputation but I think the pros to attaching the name outweigh the cons.

Thoughts?

I don't really understand how this system works. I have been dropping positive reps on folks that post positive and informative information. I didn't know that people actually are notified when a reputation plug is given?

If you click on the scales of your own post it gives you your rep point total and if that post has received rep. If you look on your user cp, it has a detailed summary showing what was said and what posts. Under the post count, you get a green box for every 100 points, if this is similar to other forums using this system. So the more green boxes you have, the better your rep and it shows you are worth listening too.

If it follows the other similar system, the amount of rep a person receives when you rep them will depend on how much rep you have, your post count, and how long you have been a member. People are still catching on since it is new.

I agree. I've had 2 negative feedbacks with insults on them, with no name. That's why i think our names should be attachted to them.

If the comments in my 2 negative reps were on the forums it'd be deleted.

But yeah, the only people who actually give out bad rep and are too scared to put there names are the little kiddies.

tagging would cause Kaos,,,better to just shut the system off... I see it remaining just as it is...

reps are not going to make or break your good persona,,,you do...

Yeah I only got like 4 or 5 people who gave me any rep points and one of them was a negative one. And in the thread I got the neg. one people were wishing every one Happy Halloween. I think they were just being asses.

No it isn't going to break you and if you have been here a while you know who is cool and who is a fool. It is helpful to newcomers though.

Like I said I am not sure what the system is capable of but other forums similar to this enable only the positive rep and have negative rep disabled. That may be another option. Sorry if I am getting ahead of the powers that be!

turning off the neg is a decent idea,but that seems to negate the purpose to me... the net is going to have jerks and I think either we deal with it or not at all,not sensor it...

Man yes, I think this soo much too. Stupid bitches leave me so many racist comments. Actually I laugh at it because racism is funny to me but when it doesn't say who the person is I just feel they take advantage of that and deliberately try to piss me off. If it was one of the people I'm cool with on here then that's fine but if I don't know some one then I don't want them playing with me like I know them...
