positive rep

[lawrawrrr]

what kyle said makes sense

the thread was basically breaking the 'dont ask for rep' rule, shouldnt have gone on for that long imo

[Richie]

Because surely people should be gaining rep power with good reason? I guess it's always up to discussion. @brandon;

but why? if the feature is their for constructive posts then surely things such as events, vip and other things should be removed as it's CHEATING. I'm totally against the whole 'YOU GIVE POINTLESS REP TO PPL COS ITS NOT FAIR' maybe those ppl should stop being *****, run along and make some friends, then maybe someone might rep them.

Well it might be cheating for some people but they have won that so technically it's somewhat earned.

Ok what I don't appreciate is the fact that I had only commented in that thread twice and got two plus rep yet the people I plus repped didn't get theirs removed? Explanation please.

Can't answer that for you as I'm not the one who removed the rep but I would guess it could be due to time or some other reason who knows.

In the past when you could buy vip and request rep, was that cheating?


Why are the rules allowed to be bent at Christmas? Don't get me wrong that thread was always good and got a good response. People have always said it's nice to receive a bit of rep but I don't see why users such as staff should have to stay at a rep power of 4 or 5, from an outside view it just looks like they haven't contributed much which isn't always the case. Rep was easier to earn in the past so those with high rep will stay at high rep and those at lower rep will struggle to go up a power. I'm not obsessed with rep I just want to point out how unfair it's to those users with lower rep because those people are usually friends with others who are also low rep so they'll find it hard to 'achieve' another power.

I just find it hard to understand why you would remove something so positive 'aww x person just rep'd me' if anything a few pointless reps would make people like each other a little more. Stop listening to people who have their head stuck between their arse cheeks. Rules can change whenever. They don't have to stay the same because one user says so.

Would it be acceptable if everyone posted a fact, and then the person +reps the person above for giving them information they didn't know?

I've always found removing pointless +rep is a bit unfair because I could go through a thread repping a load of people, but you wouldn't know unless you're monitoring my account? How do you prevent everyone giving it out?

Well it was part of buying VIP and therefore a feature so it wasn't cheating. Cheating is when someone does something unfairly to gain an advantage. The reason why we allowed it at Christmas because it's Christmas and therefore it was a nice thing to do for the users. Which also means we aren't always "negative" all the time. New users may find it hard yes but what is the chance of them coming across the spam thread without it being shoved in their face? Not highly.

[Kyle]

oh yes and while we're on the subject of rep i think the "trial period" that you mentioned for the system that allows staff to get rep each week if they reach a certain number of posts has been going on long enough so should now be extended to normal members to make things fairer
