Pointless Reputation

[Seatherny]

Hi,

I was thinking, instead of deleting reported pointless -reputation, why not change them to +rep? If people knew it will be turned to positive rep, it might make them think twice before giving out pointless reputation.

Just an idea

Isn't that just a bit bias?

Also, people will report all sorts of -rep in hope they will be changed to a +rep, which essentially is wasting more admin time

If they wanted it turning into +rep, they would want it removed too, so nope, it shouldnt lead to an increase in reports.

The it'd be pointless posotive reputation, which is supposidly not allowed either

In a way, all it is, is a punishment for the person who gave it out as instead of having a negative effect, its having a positive effect.

The punishment is that their reputation gets removed. This just seems like a way to get more reputation

Well you would be surprised how many people keep -repping. Brandon had to turn it into a neutral rep once to stop the person constantly -repping me. I know they can get warnings etc, but I can see some of them looking through every post to find a post to give a valid -rep to for the sake of it.

Thats like 1 or 2 people. The rest of the time it works perfectly well

Its happened to me 7 times already "/ One yesterday. Brandon removed it. The person -repped me again for the SAME post. Thats how lame they are. If they knew it would be turned into +rep, they wouldn't waste their time, my time and brandon's time.

Like I said, its just an idea . I don't mind if it doesn't get implemented.

Sounds like you've come up with this idea for your sake only
