Reputation System

[Immenseman]

One reallly awesome thing that continued to make me visit this forum was having the ability to change someones attitude or behaviour by giving them reputation, is that case -rep, but it also gave users a sense of acheivment and confidence to say they've done something good or right with a +rep. It was also really fun to check my userCP everyday to see the new comments left and reputation problems are still reported daily so it wouldn't make any more load for the features manager.

Please please please put it back how it used to be

right so you want it to go back to how it used to be where people would have 40-50 reputation points. you wouldn't say that when you got 2 -reps from people 30+ of which there would be loads, lol.

Yes but I'd make let myself get -reps and if ppl chose to -rep for no reason - i'd report it .
If I behave I don't need to worry about bad reps

[Immenseman]

Yeah I was just pointing it out because clearly you like reputation because it's in the middle of your signature. It isn't just you though, if someone gets -repped by 3 or 4 vast power it's going to hit their rep considerably and take them down 100 points which isn't all that easy to get.

They shouldn't be bad on the forum then? :S It's clearly obvious lol

I personally feel the current reputation system is fine, and is much better than it was before ths changes were implemented. Sure, when it was first implemented there were people complaining that they were bad changes, but looking back now, I think it has worked out fantastically.

It actually shows the users 'reputation' more as it's based on factors such as join date and post count as well as other reputation they have recieved, and obviously if they have been on the forum a long time with a lot of posts and a lot of reputation, you know that they are going to be a good and trustworthy member who has contributed well towards Habbox for the most part.

Rep is pretty much fine as it is. The only thing that might need changing as people have said throughout the thread is the number you need to spread. I hardly rep anyone so when I do I find I have already "recently" repped them even though it was probably 6 months ago.

With the old system people would moan all the time and that Report Rep thread became a real handful of people reporting negative reputation just to get rid of it when it was in fact valid. Now it is not seen as the "biggest thing on the forum" but simply what it should be, a side feature to the forums.

I'd get rid of the minus rep system to be honest, I don't think it does the forum any favours. It just causes unrest if anything. There's an infraction system to punish members for breaking rules, there's no need for other members to chip in and give their disapproval through the reputation system. It also causes arguments and 'grudges' on the forum which really isn't needed, especially when people leave a name which isn't theirs. The reputation system does an excellent job in promoting quality posting I imagine and for that reason I think it should stay but I think getting rid of the 'pointless' minus rep system would be a good step.

Very rarely have I heard or experienced it being used properly, the majority of -reps I have I usually get removed so it'd be a burden off the reputation manager in that respect.

I've been thinking of making a thread about this for a while so there it is, it is possible to turn off negative reputation on vBulletin as I've seen it done on other forums.

I tend to agree. I think I've had about 2 -reps that weren't removed in my whole time at Habbox. Then again, I imagine there are users who deserve plenty of -rep that they get. So I dunno...

I'd say it's never deserved, they either deserve to be punished by the rules and that should be sufficient. If someone disagrees with them or is upset by them they should either Quote them to argue their point or PM them instead of being such a coward to -rep them anonymously because they disagree or something similarly trivial.

If anything, it should just be altered to bring more change to Habbox. Make it easier to go up rep power and blocks.
