positive rep

[GoldenMerc]

I actually think a lot of the staff have been posting to try and help their department 'win' as oppose to doing it for the rep, perhaps the rep incentive for the staff posting stats could be removed first, if that has a negative effect bring it back and then I guess it would be fair and probably easiest to enable non-staff members to join a usergroup if they want to be eligible to receive rep also.

Please can we totally remove the removing pointless rep thing, its silly as hell :/
No bad rep is pointless its someones opinion.
PLEASE

What's wrong with the incentive? It's only 20 Rep.. not a crazy amount. You get 10 Rep for winning a competition and a large number of peoples Rep power is over 20.

Do you think it should be removed as a competition prize also? Or just not part of this posting "competition"

Go tell the people who gave out all the +Rep in the Spam forum that aha, from the looks of this thread they'll all attack you.

+ I think it's used as an incentive to encourage members in events to sign up to hxf :L

You shouldn't need an incentive (rep) to post on the forum. You should be posting on the forum anyway and indirectly receive reputation for the quality of your posts.

I'm inclined to agree with you, I actually forgot about the rep reward, I made more of an effort to post last week because I ranked fairly lowly the week before for my department and felt I was letting the side down. I agree that it should be looked into removing the rep reward on the staff comp and if it holds course then leave it like that.

there is a difference between pointless -rep and -rep that is earned. if someone makes an post that somebody disagrees with then - although the first resort should never be to immediately -rep - it should always be allowed to do so, provided the comment outlines why it was actually given. I don't know how the pointlessness of a rep is determined but it seems that if you ever report a -rep you're pretty much guaranteed to get it removed. Only remove reps that don't have any premise, like those without comments, those that are quite clearly revenge reps and when it's apparent that somebody is continuously -repping the same person whenever they can.

pointless +rep is different in that... well... it doesn't exist. if you want to give someone rep then you do it because you like them or their post(s). nothing wrong with that at all.

@brandon; it's pretty much a given that if you remove rep incentive then staff won't be quite so eager to support their department. keep the staff system as it is and let them compete against other staff teams. don't try to fix what isn't broken. it's not about normal users being allowed to join that battle, just wanting it to be made a little fairer in terms of getting rep for making posts. nothing bad can come out of it whatsoever imo.
