Reputation system

**HaRRo** · 07-09-2009, 04:30 PM

I have changed the reputation system. Only Jnr VIPS and above can now leave negative reputation.

These will now be closely monitored for abuse. And anyone caught giving random, non meaningful reputation will be banned.

I repeat Only JNR Vips and above can NOW ONLY! Leave negative reputation.

Newbies can not even give or take reputation either.

Amen, now stop your bitching about it.

**platinvm** · 07-09-2009, 04:35 PM

Perfect

Lets just hope this works.

**carsonrathi** · 07-09-2009, 04:35 PM

Perfect decision, this way it will be easy for staff to check the guy.

Thanks Harro!

**candybux.info** · 07-09-2009, 04:38 PM

That is great decision
And this forum is fantastic

**SquirlyNutz** · 07-09-2009, 04:40 PM

Awesome ! Now i dont have to worry about getting raped

**Silencer** · 07-09-2009, 04:40 PM

This shoud've been implemented yesterday, when I lost 20 reps for complaining about the rep system.

Better late then never I guess.

awesome decision. I was sick of stupid negative reppers and am going to upgrade to Jr. VIP very very soon

**n00by** · 07-09-2009, 05:08 PM

Wow one guy starts a thread bitching about his rep because his penis size is somehow directly related to the size of his reputation? The whole point of reputation should be that it is a 2 way street.

I thought the whole thread of a guy bitching about neg rep (obviously just a rep fishing trip) was stupid.

Might as well pull everyone's ability to GIVE rep as well - nobodys going to give a shit about the quality of what they post now as they now know that 75% of the people on the forum [sorry if that isn't exactly an accurate percentage of non-paying members]
isn't able to neg rep them now if they say something stupid.

m not sure if it's been implemented yet. i can still see the report button next to every post and i ain't a jr.vip yet...(unless i've been magically upgraded)

anyone can report a post for a rules violation. that is different from being able to neg rep someone.

**godmonkee** · 07-09-2009, 05:18 PM

Thanks Harro, now this has been done the rep system can be used in the way it was meant to be, and there might be less moaning and groaning about it.

**Jcsarokin** · 07-09-2009, 05:21 PM

Lol 1 more reason to join jr.vip for those of you on the fence

**masterfunkd** · 07-09-2009, 08:04 PM

I didn't entirely see the point of this at first but then I remembered some of the posts I've seen today and can understand why democracies are dangerous.

If I remember correctly you lost rep for complaining that someone had given you negative rep at all. Not about the system as a whole.

**ipodtouchhackerisher** · 07-09-2009, 08:06 PM

Thats a great decision

Yep I LOST 20 rep, but then I manned up and said I don't care anymore and people gave me rep for that (thanks buds

), and after that I still lost rep but not much but I ended with more rep overall, but not only from that thread, I also opened a thread on how to gather emails, which got me rep too!

**Mr.Whitehat** · 07-10-2009, 03:08 PM

Thanks for it harro. This s a heads up against the stupid ass holes leaving neg reps for nothing. once again thanks.

**Hellfire** · 07-10-2009, 03:26 PM

Thanks. Even tough I canæt get rep now :P

**B166ER** · 07-10-2009, 03:29 PM

for some reason the site will let me give everyone rep but harro. was trying to give him one.

**ProteinX** · 10-04-2009, 08:43 AM

Why are negative reps allowed to be annonymous?

Does that not invite abuse?

**krish22** · 10-09-2009, 03:32 AM

That is a great decision and will stop misuse of reputation system.

**broker** · 12-04-2009, 05:05 AM

When can new members give rep? Is it a certain number of posts?
What are the benefits of having rep?
Thanks.

**sogent294** · 12-21-2009, 03:01 PM

Ok, I'll probably get flamed for being a dumbass, but HOW do I leave a positive REP for someone? I swear I've searched and read threads looking for instructions but haven't found anything so far so I must be missing it somewhere. Grrr! I thought I read somewhere that there's supposed to be a 'scales' icon but damn if I can find one on any posts. If it matters, I use firefox. A pointer is appreciated.

According to Harros post "newbies" cannot give +rep and only jr vip's and above can negative rep someone. Until you get 50 posts your considered a newbie and cannot give rep.
Once you are eligble you will see a green rep button at the top right hand side of the persons post next to the report button.

**DrJekyll** · 12-21-2009, 03:29 PM

Its the green button on the upper right corner of each posts.

If you can not see it, you do not have permissions to use it yet.
