is revenge rep allowed

Surely if someone 'likes' a post they can just post or rep them. I don't think the rep system needs to be removed, just modified a bit.

The rep system has been fine for the past 8 years, why remove it now due to a minority of people crying because they've been -repped? removing rep would be a stupid decision.

or we could just remove the part that shows how much reputation you receive for a post

lol?? people with high rep power don't even use this forum anymore.some people with high rep power use it to abuse +rep too and I'm sure you wouldn't be complaining if you were receiving the + instead of the -. not to mention the fact staff abuse the system to get higher reps and we have staff with like 500 posts and all their rep bars when no1 out of staff even knows them??????

no because you see who liked your post and some of us want to remain anonymous or we rep a post because we agree but don't want others to know we do? not to mention there would be no incentive to win VIP etc cause main reason for wanting it is to view reputation..

no like system no changing the system and yes I'm crying over my reputation points that I earned. even if you removed it the same people would be getting the likes etc so the issue with apparently abusing it still stands its just that we won't gain any power over it so its pointless but I guess good for you guys who get -repped and feel injusticed about it... chris stop ruining the forum I actually want to -rep you for it but you'll prob remove it based on something like "you jsut don't like me" when it's actually your actions/behaviour i don't like so therefore I'm justified to do so? only time it should be removed is if its constantly -repping someone to bully someone.

Lalala reset everyone's rep, give everyone 1rep power which it stays at and be done with it

This would also mean that it would become much more casual and if someone makes a bunch of awesome posts in a thread they'll be very visibly rewarded for it. At the same time, if someone makes an ass of themselves that'll also be visible. Sure, the rate limit could be disabled on rep, but it'd be more heavily abused for the ridiculous value it's attained.

Not a benefit, literally means that the entire system is pointless and people could "like" every single post if they were so inclined, making it mean nothing at all. The limit on rep makes sense. Visibility exists with rep already, just needs to have -reps showing as well

And this is necessary because...?

Again, used more = less meaning. Also since it literally does nothing it will have no effect on peoples' opinions or actions ever

Simpler perhaps, pointless definitely. Genuinely cannot see a real reason for replacing the rep system with a like one when the exact same thing could be done just by making -reps visible on posts the way +reps are

I say that all -rep should stay. No more removal unless it actually breaks a rule in the comment, e.g racism.

I guess the rep system could be changed in to a like system
- remove -rep
- remove the comment box
- remove the rep limits
However, the only problem then is that people will rank up in rep powers a lot quicker than at the moment. Usually on a like system, if you're using the rep system as a like system, then everyone's rep power should be 1 and should not increase. This would make it a fairer system, but then obviously there's the problem of people who have really high rep power and may not want to just see it reset to 1 :P. Oh, and the other major problem, what happens to the Christmas rep threads?! :P.

---

As I said about 3 posts prior to this, it wouldn't be moderated if -rep was disabled.

Pointless +reps wouldn't exist, the comment box would remain so you can give a more constructive comment on the +rep, or you could simply leave the blank/default comment. Rep limits would still need to remain as then you'd obviously going to get people +repping all their friends to get 80 rep power within a month.

Xmas rep thread isn't out until tomorrow because @Chris; is the grinch

Agreed with this, no one has really had any problems, I get -rep all the time from stupid people aka someone left a comment saying a dog is a companion this is a stupid post, what would that be classed as??? Revenge rep or an opinion rep lol but I don't complain about it just shows how sad someone is to complain about it,

It should have stayed the same way it was for the last 8 years but for some reason chris decided to allow revenge rep now so he has less work to do

bring back bolt660 he was better

Returned -rep should not be aloud simple as can be!!
