Idea ~ Rewarding

[AgnesIO]

Hey,

Since I did actually raise one decent point in my last thread I will post here..

I was saying that users that do actually behave (Unlike me atm..) don't get rewarded for actually behaving.

I know it sounds babyish, but people might behave if they get extra reputation (or something along those lines) if they don't get a warning/infraction for a certain amount of time.

At the moment, especially for me the warning/infraction system is a joke, so perhaps if users that do behave got rewarded you might not get such a hard time, as to be fair I have given many MOD's, especially Catzy, and unfair hard time.

Thoughts,

Dom

I disagree, why should we reward you for doing something that you are meant to do anyway, it's like rewarding you for breathing.

Well hang on...

So if you got rewarded for being "good", what would be the point?
You don't get rewarded for obeying the law do you?

And what would you expect as a reward, cause i can't think of any prizes or situations where you COULD be rewarded..

This wins everything.

It was just a bloody idea.

Well actually, you get rewarded for doing well in your job, and you get fired for doing badly?

Why do you lot have to flame me anyway? When I try and give a POSITIVE idea or post to the forum I get flamed.

You aren't getting flamed, they are just pointing out the flaws in your idea. The flaw being you shouldn't get rewarded for not breaking the rules as its what you're supposed to do. People get rewarded for making good contributions to the community through the Member of the Month scheme. People don't need to get rewarded for things that are just common sense.

We're not flaming you, we're stating opinions. We never said anything against you, just the idea. Flaming is personal and our comments were not personal.

Yes they do Sam.

If you look in work places, you get promoted for doing well..

And prisoners in jail get released early, or game consoles for doing well..

People don't get promoted for not breaking company rules or whatever, as that's expected. People get promoted for making a positive contribution to their work place. Just like people here are rewarded for making a positive contribution to the forum.

I agree, hence MOTM. Bottom line is, we will never reward you for something you are meant to do anyway.
