Rep: for or against poll (3 Viewers)

[Carrotsticks]

Examples!!!

Did i deserve all 19,000+ rep points ?


Maybe put rep back in but only mods/admins can rep

Not quite sure about this. There are many rep-worthy posts that mods miss because not all of us view every single thread.

However it will remove any abuse of the rep system (rafy)

Maybe only mods should be able to rep (me)

People didn't get circle-jerked into winning such things. We need some form of recognition, but I don't think rep is the best way of doing.

I'm not saying that all people with gold (or more) rep didn't deserve it. I am saying that there were some people who 'earned' it undeservingly.

Some people contribute large amounts and have little rep. Some people contribute nothing and have lots of rep.

There are heaps of awards that people get circlejerked into. Teen Choice, TV Choice, Time Magazine. Sometimes you'll get undeserving people, most of the time it's worthwhile. And 'deserving' is entirely subjective. I'd hate to see a moderator enforced grading system, simply because of that subjective quality.

Then let us do it!!
We want our rep. I am so sad rep is gone

If there was absolutely no chance of it returning, we wouldn't have this thread. As for an ETA or whether it will, I can't say. I'm not it a position to actually make it happen, I can only state my position on the issue, and discuss it with the admin and other moderators.

Then lets bring it back, and let only certain people rep (i.e. mods/admins/powlmao/super mods etc.)

See my above post on subjectivity.

See my above post on subjectivity.

So?

When anyone reps it is always subjective.

When I neg new members it is always subjective on how much I like their username/post

If you are good at Chemistry, then be proud of it because you worked for it.

If you are good at a sport, be proud of it, because you worked for it.

As long as its something you actually WORKED for, being proud of it is perfectly fine. You put in the work and thus reap the rewards.

I put in work on BoS for 2+ years to get double gold rep.

Why can't I be proud of that?

Why did Obama win the Nobel peace prize then? Circlejerk.

Who? Don't be spineless; just say it.

That's the point, it's about keeping a wide pool of subjective people. To reduce the level of subjectivity.

But then it opens it up to abuse, I mean always abuse the rep systems. I love negging people who have 1 rep points so that it goes back to zero. It makes me so happy.

But if you have mods doing it, yes you have subjectivity, but you also have the ability to remove any abuse

Does this make you feel powerful?

When the maybe the problem isn't the system, but the fractional proportion of 1% of users like yourself who want to be a cunt and abuse the system. I think negs have a purpose, but I don't advocate them, and I think the very few people who are abusing the system are ruining it for everyone else.

So? I have slept with Townie and many other mods for rep points

Does this make you feel powerful?

Yes, Makes me happy and feel good about myself.

Like when people have 105 rep points and they are really happy they have some power, I neg them to below 100 and they no longer have power Haha It is so great

 

[Carrotsticks]

I disagree with giving the power of rep purely to the mods.

I never abuse the system. I neg people I hate, and rep people I like.

Why?

 

[Thief]

It'd be pretty silly just giving rep power to mods
