Okay, thanks.

I like this system. Something like this should be cool. I also like how players with a good rep can add, and players with a great rep can add/subtract, thus avoiding all flame wars ending in massive rep-dropping.

This, in theory, could also potentially decrease flame wars too, if people here care about their rep, assuming participation in flaming results in decreasing rep. Also, users with negative rep could be suspended for a set period of time, further decreasing the potential for flame wars.

I really like this idea goose :D

I actually think there will be flame wars about reputation.

But my idea is making a flame war thread only for reputation and delete all posts that are part or a flame war about reputation in all other threads.

Nice idea.

There's still potential for abuse with this system. But, I think it's worth trying.

I have seen this on a few other forums and I thought it was cool, it seemed to work out well so I would think it would work fine here, but of course it could create some problems as well. Nice to see a new feature on the forums though! :)

I have never seen it be anything but a nuisance so I didn't enable it when making the forum. I would much rather see the forum updated to 3.7.2, but I don't have the time or bandwidth because it will take an idiot like me a long time to do it. I smell my roast and it is almost done.......time to munch out.

If it ends up being out of control we will disable it. Ive never seen a rep system with "rules", however. I think overall we have intelligent members so it should work out.

urjak, you must have never been to rfshq. every thread was designed to be a flame war.

<- woot my smiley.

I'm with you guys on this, NP.

how come nobody has any rep points? (besides the little green square everyone has)

Was wondering the same thing.

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #35 on:** October 06, 2008, 11:22:48 PM »

Except ACAMS. If we're going to have this thing, shouldn't we at least use it?

goose · « **Reply #36 on:** October 07, 2008, 12:03:38 AM »

I give points here and there. But I dont come here enough to give lots.

in all honesty though for the system to work properly it should be used somewhat sparingly.

How many points do you give out on average? I worry that it'll take a while for someone to accumulate enough.

Goose has red boxes, do those mean negative points?

If you put your mouse pointer above the red boxes it says "Goose is infamous around these parts" so yeah that must be negative points.

and i must agree that red will suit me better. :icon_twisted:
