Scrap the rep.

[Joltersoft]

I just saw in the thread of disabling -rep

Why don't we just scrap it as liam!! said

anyone agree?

[Seatherny]

This was being discussed in that thread. This thread is a bit pointless.

[Charlie]

I agree. It's either a competition to have the most green rep, or people complaining because they have negative rep, it's just so pointless. It needs scraping, they'll be less arguments too.

[dirrty]

y start a new thread when there is already a very active 1?

[Joltersoft]

i'm just saying i wanna scrap it does anyone else.

[Putal]

I don't think it should be scraped.

[Kardan]

They can't scrap people, people have paid for rep.

[:Liam]

I dont agree, Reputation points help people to contribute to the community, as some people think "oh i'll do this blah blah blah.... and get some good rep". its also the only we can "reward" someone for good one on a layout or a pixel edit,.
I say, No dont scrap it.

[Joltersoft]

I honestly think it should.

[Sammeth.]

I think it should. Its honestly just pointless now, and at the end of the day - its a peice of rep. It doesnt change your life, yet people end up getting really het up about it. It would stop arguments. But I doubt it will be abolished.

[Jazza]

Thead already exists, why did you make another?

[Joltersoft]

Just read what i said earlier

let's scrap it.

[Seatherny]

Just read what i said earlier

let's scrap it.

Isnt my thread basically doing the same thing? Better to discuss it in one thread instead of two.

[Joltersoft]

I'm casting a vote though.

[Seatherny]

I'm casting a vote though.

Very good :)

[Ashhizzle]

I honestly think it should.
no you don't, you love rep :rolleyes:

No it shouldn't unless you're going to refuned everybody who has bought rep :)

[Joltersoft]

I sense sarcasm?

[Energizer]

No, whats the point in disabling it?

[Joltersoft]

maybe, add a thanks button, read some things corey.

[Redmoon Evil]

minus rep maybe but keep the positive

[Joltersoft]

that's a good idea.

I TOTALY agree. +rep in next 24 hours

If you dont want the rep system, go to your user cp and switch it off. Personaly i like the feature, its good to be able to comment directly on a post every once in a while.

[Simmzay]

Reputation is meaningless. For one, it isn't an indicator of anything because the majority of reputation points aren't for posting something significant but something totally irrelevant. None of my reps are "wow what a fantastic post you made several excellent points", they're just "dude wAAzUUp". Other than means to gain e-popularity reputation is meaningless.

[Jackk]

They cant scrap it can they, people have bought rep and all that?

[le harry]

I think rep was fine until it could be bought. Now it's pointless, because people just buy it to say they are safe and stuff, you can't buy a reputation in real life, you earn it. Same concept on the forums.

that's true.

[awelsh]

they cant scrap the rep as people have bought it and it would take them a long time to re-emberse everyone, also the v.i.p members will lose yet another feature. If you dont like it turn yours off in user cp so it goes black, the people who mainly would want this scrapped are people with red or very low rep as some people may think theyre not trustworthy, it doesnt really matter though, its only some blocks.

[Seatherny]

It matters as peole moan and it causes arguments. I want it scrapped and I dont have low rep?
People who bought rep could either get refunded or exchange it for vip

Im with you. If the option to buy it was removed I see no harm in keeping it

[Hecktix]

Reputation means reputation. I think it's good. Because if you're trading with someone, and they have high reputation you will feel more confident as scammers tend to get loads of -rep.

I selected all options of the poll, learn how to use the forum babe xD

[burton-x]

I dont have much rep at all but I still don't want to see it go!

[Axel]

Wow, I'm suprised you're saying this Kyle.

Anyway, the other thread was fine.

[myke]

It's only being discussed as being taken away because some people take it too seriously.. rep is a good thing, because it can tell others what you're like.

[le harry]

Don't scrap +rep, it's too late to get rid of it now. Unless you converted it into *thinks of word* equasion? of a different method so lets say a star system or something, 10 points = 1 star = 100 rep. or something like that, I can't think of the word which will make my sentance right :(

[Camy]

I don't think rep should be scrapped, I think the option to buy rep should be scrapped, because it really gets rid of the purpose of rep being there.

That's what I'm trying to say, don't they get enough money from just VIP alone, that or make 2 rep systems, one you earn and one you buy :P

[cocaine]

haha, the irony between the thread title and the thread starter

:]

[dannyisnotamazing]

It makes Habbox more money to sell rep, they won't scrap it no chance.

I don't think it should be scrapped I just think there should be more activity in the "report rep problems" thread and such.

[reindeer.]

make it so no-one can see who -repped them, even vips which will eliminate revenge rep.

and KEEP REP!

[Camy]

That's what I'm trying to say, don't they get enough money from just VIP alone, that or make 2 rep systems, one you earn and one you buy :P
Srry i never red the rest of th thread - 4 pages no ty :P

[Joltersoft]

alright

[le harry]

alright

Kyle you spam so much it's ridiculous :rolleyes:

[reindeer.]

Is this kyle asin shares an account with corey and says hes leaving then keeps coming back or a different one?

This was being discussed in that thread. This thread is a bit pointless.

I completely disagree. Your thread was created to discuss something, now a discussion branching off of that has been created so as to give this matter full attention. You don't have a monopoly on ideas, just because it was being discussed secondarily in your thread doesn't mean that someone else can't create a new one to bring it to the fore.

It really bothers me how certain people seem to get a complex that certain other members don't have the right to post threads, now if your thread was "Should reputation be done away with" then you might have a point.

I agree.


I have two views on this issue. Well I have one personal view, then I have a realistic view.

In my opinion, yeah, reputation should be done away with. People are getting obsessed with it, not even funny how seriously people are taking reputation. People are abusing it, crying over it, getting into fights over it, losing friends over it. Really starting to bug me.

However its completely unrealistic to think that we could just remove the reputation system. The whole issue of people who bought rep aside, even if we refunded it all, people would throw a fit if we removed it. Shows how obsessive people have become with it so far :P

I remember once there was a thread with hundreds of pointless reps in the staff forum, I went through every member in that thread and removed the pointless sent and recieved reps (don't ask why, I was a new admin then :rolleyes:) and half of them threw fits, one who was my friend *complained* (I wanted to use a different word there) at/to me and then one stopped talking to me. Needless to say when he tried to get a favor out of me a month later I blocked him :8

It's to late to go back now, I just think you guys should of never introduced buying rep, it was a fine system until they implemented that.

[msb.]

agreed well said... •

Even if you stopped people buying rep, it wouldnt make it fair. since VIPS still have an advantage in seeing who repped them, which just results in revenge reps against anyone who repps one of them most the time.
Hence why less people tend to neg rep vips.

If the rep system wanted to hold any value, it would have to be made equal for all members, everyone getting the same system.

Also if someone asked for pointless neg rep receaved, they should also have all there pointless + rep removed as well, since people just use it as an exucse to bump there rep power by removing any neg. if they want that removed they should have the pointless +rep removed as well in my view. That or just accept it all as it is, and leave it as such.

But i cant see that happening, being able to view who repped u is probably the biggest selling point for VIP for one.
