Would you like reputation to change?

Well it's great that Sammeth. is on board with some of the changes and he's the new main man so hopefully we'll see some progress asap

Not fussed, if it was scrapped I wouldn't particularly care. Just having the comments, or a like/dislike feature would be useful. Rep got destroyed when they offered it out to VIPs and it didn't help that the system got pointlessly edited.

Needs a new system, its unfair as it stands

Maybe people with INSANE reputations should have their entire reputations picked at, like I said in the other thread, Nick- did it to me and removed 600/4200 rep and that wasn't going through all of it. Some people with like 8000/10000 rep would have alot of pointless rep.

Personally I don't think any reputation at all should be considered pointless, whether positive or negative. The word itself clearly refers to how others view you, so someone simply having a distaste for the person is still really as valid a reason to -rep them as any other, because it's indicative of that person's reputation.

Can you propose a better way of doing it? Lets put it this way, most people on the forum will have some form of rep comments that are not really for doing anything in particular but because they have been repped for who they are.

The "better way" would be not at all. I know you're an intelligent guy but I think you've really tripped up here - as you said yourself people have been repped for who they are, and that is quite clearly the single most valid reason for reputation to be given. Reputation is how a person is viewed as I've said above, and saying this can't be the case is like saying I'm not allowed to show my high opinion of someone because they're my friend. It truly defies logic.

People are repped for all sorts of reasons and that is fair enough, however in the past there was a crew of people who repped one another constantly with the limit per day being low and the user spread count also being low.

To be fair we only did that for like 2 days lol I think we gained maybe 1 rep power apiece from it

Nope, I'm not even remotely concerned. I just believe it's a criminal waste of time for Administrators to do that when they're moaning about how busy they are (note your sig and a post you made last week). However, if you feel it's constructive then that's up to you, you're the admin

The group of people are the KKK who all repped each other, they're not going to kill you for saying it btw, lol. Like Jin said a few months back all changes have to make sure old members are happy because they are the spine of this site but ensure it's welcoming for new users. If you believe it's the best way to treat your old members and they're going to be happy with it then that's entirely up to you.

tbh I was thinking of getting Smiddy out of hibernation for an assassination attempt. But yeah I quite openly admit that it happened, albeit not to the extent some people seem to think it did, and I've stated my reasons as to why I don't feel it's a bad thing.

Would you care to explain why? I don't wish to say that you can't hold such an opinion but in the interests of the thread it might be an idea to actually give reasons so that your opinion can be assessed.

This thread clearly shows at the moment that people would like to get rep points more often for posts and the amount of reputation they have.

Keep it going a little longer

I think the way it used to be was fine. Either change it back or introduce the "Thanks" system is my suggestions?

To me that says *Bump*

Again no replies from anyone in a position to do anything about it!

No need to bump it is still/was still pretty high on the list

Would be interesting to see AGM's thoughts on the general users votes.

I've only read the first page so if its been posted my bad,
I don't think post count should influence your rep beacuse it has nothing to do with it. I think 5000 is fine even though its high it still shoulndt affect you getting rep because i could just spam. You shouldn't have a high rep because you have alot of posts

Although I agree with what you are saying, currently the forum is not getting as many posts as it was, so a influence to post more often would help. Also moderators are there to stop any spammers
