-rep suggestion

[Lost_Addict]

Clamping down on pointless +rep adds value to reputation. I think the ideas mentioned above about the number in the box going up and down etc are a bit too complex and a bit unnecessary really, if a post is going to get -repped validly then it's unlikely the post will get +repped, so if the number isnt gonna go below 0 then it's pointless

The problem with that is NOONE is going to say can you remove my posotive reputation it seems pointless

Quite right, but there are other ways of moderating it, even if it's just tightening up on what we already do.

I guess a system where rep has to be aproved before adding it to a users account would work. But would that just make more hassle?

A bit too much, but more random spotchecks on reputation wouldn't be much hassle.

Well it depends what you class as a bit to much. In the reputation systems current state, there wouldn't be much work because hardly any rep is + or - from other users

That's hardly the case for every post and scenario, though surly.

Most, it's an incredibly complex thing which won't even be seen often so what's the point, really?

It's extra work for Jamesy that's not of any gain, the +(however many of reps the post has) works, what's the point in adding something that shows if a post that has been +repped has been -repped too, when that almost never happens involving legitimate reputation. Completely pointless idea, Sorry Dave.

Meh, I still think it would be a nice feature
