Post by: ACAMS on October 22, 2008, 09:45:43 AM: I have been asked several times about this reputation thing that goose enabled, and you all thought it should be on building ability.

right now it is like this....

-20- can only hope to improve

-10- has a little shameless behaviour in the past

0---is an unknown quantity at this point

10--is on a distinguished road

20--will become famous soon enough

30-- has a spectacular aura about

40--is a jewel in the rough

and on and on.....

What I need are suggestions to replace those with 15 total. starting with -30

-30
-20
-10
0
10
20
30
40
50
60
70
80
90
100
110

3 negative
0 for new members that does not sound bad
10 -110 for members that have been here

By now everybody should be able to give rep, so don't get carried away with it.

Since I have been asked several times I expect to see several lists of suggestions.

-20 - You tend to be easy prey for n00b whackers
-30 - You are an official Forum Hategod

I'll do the others later...

Post by: Sage on October 22, 2008, 04:39:27 PM: i think there should be a X ranking, for legends past. like starcore, lu-tze, darkrat.
and Kill is NOT better then barbie, ROBO, or even scrap. scrap better then SSG.
Goose and ACAMS would be the gods, pyscolone and click should switch.

thats basically my opinion.

IT IS!!!!

I see it is already causing trouble so I will make minor changes and leave it basically like it is.

Post by: System32 on November 03, 2008, 02:03:54 PM: I think everyone should be able to give Rep. Perhaps if the have over 10 posts.

Now, I know I'm risking giving people like Me and Venko -1000 Rep from a certain few members, but at least it will give a more fair opinion than a few members downgrading without remorse.

Post by: kill343gs on November 03, 2008, 03:13:38 PM: Some people are a lot more biased than others, and therefore too much power in the wrong hands isn't a good thing. It would be different if there were never any flame wars or arguments around here, but that is certainly not the case. Power like that must be earned, not granted by default when you reach a certain post count. You can compare somebody who posts like serge or myself with less than 300 posts over a long period of time to someone like Cude who amassed a large amount of posts over a short period of time, who would you rather have controlling your reputation value?
Title: Reputation value
Post by: System32 on November 03, 2008, 03:16:07 PM: Both.

Cuda is already a More respected member, Albeit a little odd, and most members who intend to stay make more than 10 posts anyway.

Ok, how about somebody like Hydro then? He has more than 10 posts, I'm sure of it.

Re FC: I already fixed it, but thanks for your concern.

Post by: kill343gs on November 03, 2008, 03:59:18 PM: I don't think you see my point. Let me try and put it this way. Think of it like your dentist. You want to make sure that guy jamming his fingers halfway down your throat knows what he's doing, right? I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want some random person giving me a root canal. It's the same idea.

Post by: Serge on November 03, 2008, 06:28:53 PM: If the system gets implemented at all, I want a negative number to be displayed for me, since I feel that if I actually should be respected for what I've done, I'll be respected without the need for a rating.

Post by: Somebody on November 04, 2008, 05:11:20 AM: No, I mean that every time someone posts that elongates a flame war, they lose 2 or 3 rep points. That will make people just walk away from them when Venko comes back.

Post by: Naryar on November 04, 2008, 05:41:57 AM: Depends of what you call a post that elongates a flame war...

If it's constructive/clever/true, no need to lose points.
