-rep suggestion

[Matthew]

i think it should be removed, as will have been said so many times, -rep only brings up arguments and normally a -rep in return.

id be happy to see it go

WHY on Earth do you have to come out with annoying provocative comments. This is the reason why I said to Oli I hate posting threads about this as people such as yourself make annoying silly and patronising comments all the time. Its just not needed and I suggested it as YOU always -rep people as revenge and get RNB.Queen to do it too. Pathetic. Grow up. I mean you got her to -rep me for such a stupid post that Garion himself removed it rather than asking me to report it.

+rep

-rep causes a lot of arguments which I have seen over the forum quite a few times, and also grudges are then caused because at one time a post that someone made was "poor" or "negative", yet they don't want things to be like that. If it exists I will -rep on the odd occasion, even if some of the posts someone makes are good, because a post is just silly? Lol, it's hard what to say but you get the idea.

Talking of grudges, I would be more inclined to -rep someone who I personally hate rather than someone who I'm friends with.. and in that case - the rep system isn't working properly.

Yeah but is that really a problem?

In reply to "counterbalancing" - yes, I see it as a problem. One day you'll have everyone with reputation sky high and with no negative rep, it's going to look like everyone is trusted.

Not everything that is negative is bad you know...

As long as -rep is used appropriately and closely moderated, then I see no problem with it.

I agree with this, I think.

I'm on the fence here. I do think -repping is a good idea because if you have the option to approve of someones post, you should be able to disapprove too. Then again, the system is flawed in that I'd be more likely to -rep someone I hate rather than someone I like.

As I said leave -rep fgs, its going to make the forum even more boring. The goal with rep is to get as much as you can and if you don't have -reps its boring because you won't ever get your rep lowered.


Leave the system how it is if someones too childish to take a -rep that was fair then you suck, people need to stop crying about -reps seriously if they are pointlessly fair enough get it removed. Seriously though if the system stays how it is its only gonna be -reps that have a valid point that don't get removed. So no biggie MAN UP.


Oh and I disagree 'It causes too much arguments' it doesn't cause arguments unless you let them. Saying that you are going to see the odd argument hiccup , last I checked though, jin and sierk owns habbox not gandhi.

I've experienced no negative problems whilst using -reps. If there's a problem, they should be reported in the Rep Problems thread in Feedback. Just now I -rep'd someone for a stupid, unfunny comment.

I say keep it, what value does +rep have without a -rep? :|

And if the moderation department would do their job, there would be no arguments in threads about rep (I haven't seen any for about a year now, so Mods must be doing a damn fine job ). The OP is making a mountain out of a mole hill IMO.

[Inseriousity.]

Well the user criticising the department might think they aren't doing a good job and its general managements opinion to decide on it based on what the user has said. If you -rep them because you might know more about the department hence know more of what they are doing, its very unfair to -rep the person. In this case, not many people would criticise departments, hence leading to less ideas being formed.

I highly doubt the majority of managers would -rep someone over feedback, normally it's the opposite and we +rep them if they, at least, gave it a go (constructive criticism only though). I think you're taking an experience from one manager, which isn't really fair. -rep (lol im joking ).

I agree that there needs to be a counterbalance or people will just have ridiculously high reps. As for losing rep if you -rep someone, not really a fan of that! The majority of people use the -rep system fairly and they shouldn't be punished for giving out negative reputation. I agree with Recursion, the moderators are more than capable of moderating arguments

I don't want this but if it saves the -rep system I might aswell try.


Disable so users can't view who -repd them whether they have vip or not.


My view is nothing should change, but if some people are too childish to take a -rep on a habbo forum (lol) then disable them from seeing who -repd em.

The problem with that though, is that a lot of people leave their name as suffix to the reputation comment.

[scottish]

dont allow comments either than sorted

[HotelUser]

dont allow comments either than sorted

Then it would be impossible for the user to differentiate between genuine and invalid negative reputation and Brandon would be bombarded with removal requests

[scottish]

then remove the ability to report reputation
