Rep displays on posts

[e5]

you are, but if you didn't read the thread it's pointless replying, it's suggesting to cap it as 0 so no-one can see anyone has -repped unless they monitor the +1 +2 etc symbol for ages and watch it go lower.

Just because I chose not to reply to that part of the thread doesn't mean I didn't read it :S

[Inseriousity.]

Is there really any evidence that people lovebomb a post with more rep because other people repped it? Admittedly I only save my rep for extremely good posts/ideas so it takes a lot for me to give some out so maybe that's why I don't see a post with lots of rep and go hmmm I wasnt going to give it rep but now I have to. Maybe you should all stop being cynical and just admit that a post with 5 +reps has them cos people agree with it!

I'm going to guess that the real reason this hasn't happened is cos no-one really knows how to do it and rep is such a miniscule thing they don't think there's much point finding out. I don't really care either way with this one.

encourages negativity! Which isn't good.

No it doesn't, but posts (for example) from management attacking members who make requests of them that show a +6 when they 100% have -reps to them as well certainly does encourage negativity

Yes, I read it, and yes, I noted the cap. But yes, I do think people would notice it going down! So few legitimate -reps are given out anyway it's be so pointless to spend any time looking into it whatsoever.

Basically "cba so no". The reasons for doing it have been stated explicitly, and there are enough aggressive/unpopular posts with + symbols all over them for it to be a genuine issue.

Means that you haven't actually responded to the proposal at all and are just making up what you want to argue with instead of having a point

Targeting posts are removed so people wouldn't be able to see what you were +repped for in that instance.

Are they indeed

[lawrawrrr]

It's not exactly "cba" is it? I don't have access so couldn't do anything, it's nothing to do with whether I'd be "arsed" to do it or not.

Targeting posts like that are *always* removed, no matter who made them in the first place.

No they're not, but well done on avoiding the actual point *again*

[lawrawrrr]

I never said instantly. I'm also not sure who'd deal with that as the GM is in charge of the Forum department.

What, pray tell, is the point? We will never add a feature that encourages people to be negative.

yeah this is exactly my point. that shows negativity. only having the +reps there makes it look like that type of behaviour is acceptable because it only shows that people like this type of comments. its the same when someone calls another member ugly or any other insult, you only see the +reps which aren't positive but that green button makes it look like it. having just +reps doesn't show the true attitude towards the post. imo its either show the true attitude or don't show any at all. you're only given one side which isn't fair at all.

and agree w/ @Inseriousity.; i've never saw a post with a lot of reps and felt compelled to rep it. i've felt more compelled to actually read it and thus more likely to rep it if it's a good post.

@lawrawrrr; you're missing the point that only having a +rep showing can be negative itself. besides, whats wrong with negativity? if someone makes a poor comment then it should be made known that those types of posts are not acceptable.

[FlyingJesus]

IT DOESN'T. You are yet to say how a feature that does not in any way show negative reps is negative, but have been shown that the current state can and does encourage it. You've been told the point plenty of times, you just don't seem to be able to understand it somehow

And as for your repeated insistence that personal attacks and pointless posts with +reps displayed are always*+*+*+ removed, no they're not.

n lol what is with people liking chris' post about that? it was a valid post from scott, chris was consistently late when it came to closing the polls when you can have the poll to close at a certain type automatically. scott gave him a suggestion and he lashed out which he has been doing in other feedback posts. it isn't nice to show a person being +repped for an unfair comment and not showing that not everyone agrees with the post.
the +reps on there breeds negativity cause it just shows a circle jerk towards 'owning' another member
