is revenge rep allowed

[Lee]

to be fair, a poll will just conclude everything. this thread will continue forever until there's a consensus. however, i do think the poll should be mandatory for all users to use when they log on (i'm sure there's been a poll like that in the past?). mainly because it's quite evidently a major topic for some people.

I disagree with mandatory poll, its not something everyone is bothered about I'm sure a notice would suffice...

true, but the last time they used a poll (post what you're... subforum) they just ignored the results anyway

Turns out this discussion was brought up in June and this is what was concluded..

I've only ever looked into one plugin that adds this feature to vBulletin 4 and it would change the reputation system altogether. From what I have seen in the settings it would do the following: Anyone who liked a post would recieve a X amount of reputation points.

What I mean by that is, if in the settings it was set to: 1. This would then mean all users who would thank a post would then give 1 reputation point to that user. At the moment, you get so many points depending on the rep power of the user who has given you that reputation. So I don't think It would really work that well here on Habbox as most users like gaining the reputation power. Another feature this would bring is for users to post exclusive content and then it would make users post to be able to unhide that post. Although I doubt that would ever be used on a place like HabboxForum.

It's a nice idea and it is used on other forums but I think the current way is just fine. The suggestion that would could change for sure is reduce the amount of days you have to wait until you can rep the same person.

You do realise with the 'poll that they ignored', the poll ran and closed and it was outcome A. They then reopened the poll a week later and it turned to outcome B. Then after a few weeks, they went for outcome A. If you say they 'went against the result of the poll', that also means they 'ignored the results of the first poll and reopened it to get a different outcome'

Yeh but they made a new poll as not many users were aware of the debate. Everyone who voted in poll A would have still voted in poll B, and Poll B had a larger sample size yet they ignored the majority and went for poll A...

Anyway, i've just looked through feedback and this like system has came up quite a bit and each time the majority have said that they prefer rep..

Some interesting points! I won't be doing a poll because we all know how that ended last time, but I might make some changes in that I stop removing rep completely and just closely moderate people who use it to bully people and work from there. What are peoples thoughts on that?

then you're basically allowing pointless rep because you want to do less work.

Either have the old rules (so obvious revenge rep is removed, if I rep you then you rep me back it's fairly obvious 99% of time its going to be revenge and not a complete coincidence that you went to rep me just after I repped you unless it's seconds apart) or remove -rep as that seems to be the issue with every feedback thread thats made regarding reputation.

That makes absolute sense - as I said earlier in the thread, if people are using rep to bully people then it's a bullying issue not a rep issue. To go about it any other way would be like saying verbal abuse is a language problem and no-one should use words

It's not that I want to do less work, its the fact that the reputation system is flawed. I shouldn't have to sit here wasting time removing immature rep comments when I have more important things to be doing.

Exactly! I'll probably trial it although it will probably be after Christmas.
