is revenge rep allowed

[dirrty]

show -1/-2/-3 for negative reps and leave it at that

Because it gets removed the majority of the time anyway. Like I said, people with high rep power do abuse it and seem to constantly -rep the same people over and over again.

Why does it get removed though? That's the issue. It shouldn't be removed.

And people with high rep power aren't abusing it, they have a high rep power for a reason, they have earned the ability to change people's reputation points more than others. That's how the system works.

[mrwoooooooo]

just hide peoples actual rep power in the postbit and give everyone 1 rep power

[scottish]

Because 100% of reported rep is negative rep and that's what they/he seems to be most incompetent in dealing with?

or just tries to do it to get it done with quickly rather than viewing the specifics of the rep.

Believe me, people DO abuse it. I am forever sitting here removing pathetic rep comments just because someone is holding a grudge against someone else.

pretty sure I -repped the same user 3 times and you disabled my rep for a week+

why aren't you doing it with anyone else if this so called abuse is going on?

But isn't that what 'reputation' is? The only rep that should be removed are ones that break the normal forum rules. Racist comments, avoiding the filter etc. If someone is disliked, surely that should reflect in their reputation?

People may 'abuse' -rep, but I'm sure more people abuse the '+rep' feature. I've had countless amounts of +reps without a comment...

[FlyingJesus]

Yup.

I suggest we keep rep power, and just have the +reps and -reps visible on each post. So a +5, -3 for example. This gives us the 'like' system, and keeps reputation.

Been suggesting this for years and for some reason no-one in power will touch it, never get TOLD that reason obv but it must be pretty good to ignore the obvious solution for so long

And the issue is...? Rep does not need to be removed in any circumstance, if people are being routinely bullied through it then that is a completely separate issue which needs to be sorted, it's not a problem with the rep system itself
