Reputation Report Cut-off

[iLogan]

I just tried to report some pointless -rep that I just realized I had and got told that it could not be removed because it was too old.

I don't think there should be an time cut-off (maybe like a year or something). If it's pointless - it's pointless. It doesn't suddenly become valid with time.

Why do you report every -rep you receive? Its someone's opinion so it isnt pointless... @xxMATTGxx;

Well if you leave it a whole month then you can't feel that strongly that it needs removing. Obviously I'm not going to sit here and remove a -rep from yonks ago, not to mention it's always been this way and has been made very clear in the support instruction thread.

It was implemented for two reasons:

1) Initially, we didn't want people to go way back and start reporting tons of -reps. We had a one-month period with an extended limit then brought it down to one month. Not as relevant now I suppose.
2) The important one: -rep requests are not tracked, they're dealt with and removed. This prevents people from re-reporting rep that is not removed.

also forum rules are modified once every blue moon or so, thus it'll cause tons of unnecessary headache I'd assume .

i hate the idea of removing reps anyway, it's someone's opinion. I've never asked for one to be removed as at the end of the day, I don't care that much about it. It's a number.

You can't say you hate the idea and then use not caring as a justification to back up your argument.

I meant... it's unnecessary. People don't report pointless +rep so I don't understand why they so fervently report every -rep.... but I don't use that feature anyway. Besides, -rep (for the most part) are people's opinions - if someone's been rude they deserve to be -repped.

if someone's been rude they deserve to be -repped.

Under the new rules being rude allows a -rep to stick, the only things they're removing is revenge rep, pointless rep (i.e. no reason or a stupid reason) and rep for stuff elsewhere as it needs to be for the post which is why the rep button is on the post not the person.

yeah i know that................. but people are complaining because they can't get removed after it's old so i was just saying.

What happens if someone's rude to you, so you -rep them THEN POST BEING RUDE BACK, they -rep you.

Is that 2nd rep revenge or valid?
