Reputation System Overview

[KitKat]

*gasp* It was BUD who negative repped me!!! *dies*

Hehe, well, I just want to say that I don't feel like I'm being picked on or anything in this discussion. I've mentioned to more than a few people that I don't feel myself to be totally deserving of the rep given to me. I realize that being a girl who actively posts on an anime forum bestows a certain celebrity-like status, but I like to think that I've legitimately earned some of that rep too through my efforts to be a good poster and active contributer to the community. It's an inherently flawed system, but it does have a lot of potential to improve the community if more people start repping for reasons other than likes/dislikes of a person. Even if only the older members are committed to keeping the system fair, it will have a lot of impact since they have the most rep power.

Oh, and, some of you guys leave really sweet comments!

Only comp is doing that and I admire him for that.

[Splash!]

i was wondering, shouldnt there be some sort of limit on the total number of reps a single post can receive, if there already isnt one. Say if a person was to make a really good and really bad post in a frequently visited thread or forum. Everyone would probably end up reading the post and give that person a good or bad rep. Wouldnt that result in a single post having a lot of influence on the person's rep which really shoudn't be the case.

[kAi]

Well, that should stop you from being a bad poster now, shouldn't it?

[Deblas]

Oh, and, some of you guys leave really sweet comments!

hehe, the rep system is the ultimate privacy tool. It's a great way to hit on woman but still keep anonymous!....Only in the internet.....

Deblas, you obviously havent been to New York then

[Assassin]

what dont you guys get about the system not being fair? you see, this is why comp said dont take it too seriously.

Splash: its just like kai said, it would be motivation to better your posting habbits.

As far as kitkats high rep goes, she deserves every bit of it. Out of all the active posters on GW, shes probably in the top 3. Not because shes a girl, or because she posts alot, but cuz everything she posts is good content wise. Like bud said, despite a 3x bad rep, she still has so many bars, so she must be doing something rite.

And to those of you who are afraid to post cuz you think you mite get a bad rep on that comment, you're all a bunch of fucking idiots (go ahead, -rep me on this, i insist). You're letting an online popularity contest keep you from expressing youselves.

oh and btw, jadugar...regarding that comment you recieved:

Don't be an ass and give negative rep just for having a conflicting opinion to someone else's post.

But more importantly, don't do it to the guy with the greatest rep power, especially when he has the means of finding out who did it

Edit:

oh and just so you all quit complaining about everysingle -rep hit you get and not having 2 boxes or whatever, heres a present from me. +40(ish) rep for all of you. Do you all feel better about yourselves now? >.>

[complich8]

Its all good and dandy in the la la land where the mods are.
I don’t remember disapproving a mod. If I did then I probably had a good reason. If you can see me then what? Should I be scared?
...

In order to prevent just this sort of thing, I've unilaterally (and maybe unpredictably) decided to make it so mods can't see who leaves rep comments.

Sorry mods, that's just how it is .


In other news, I'll reiterate ... if you're getting abusive reps, drop me a pm. That's the only way anything will happen about them.


And yeah, part of KitKat's high reputation is probably because she's a girl, and we all know it, and many of us are the sort of particular anime nerds who are susceptible to just such things... But like I mentioned to her a while back on aim:

it's like a popularity contest at school
sure, the pretty girl is going to get a lot of votes
but the pretty girl who also does nice things for people is going to win over the slightly prettier girl who's a raging bitchaholic

[IFHTT]

But like I mentioned to her a while back on aim:

Damn Right!
I know I've been here a VERY short time compared to most of you guys but what I've seen of KitKat's posts makes me feel like she deserves everyone of those rep points. If you don't agree that's fine but I know I've sent a pos. rep her way once or twice and for good reason. It's simple, she's awesome. I probably haven't been here long enough to be able to say that with valitdity but thats just the way it is...

[Munsu]

Sorry mods, that's just how it is .

Ah, that sucks... I was targeting mods myself with some fun comments, now they won't know that those nasty things came from me.

I blame Assertn and Terra for this... Mod privileges should be kept quiet, you shouldn't be going around spouting crap about how great it is to be a mod because you can do this and that. It just breaks the system.

So you are basically telling me te refrain from expressing my opinion against someone he has higher ranks in GW.

Wouldnt that contradict your morals

And to those of you who are afraid to post cuz you think you mite get a bad rep on that comment, you're all a bunch of fucking idiots

I am sure you have seen me express my opinions openly in the forum and not being afraid of what others might think or do. I dont give a rats ass.



@ complich8 : Thanx. I hope its not a false hope.


P.S What would be a painless way of killing yourself?

[Knives122]

building hopping would be good. but that's not the answer....fight the neg. reppers with telekinetic powers....or I don't know commit suicide

[Assassin]

So you are basically telling me te refrain from expressing my opinion against someone he has higher ranks in GW.

no, you misunderstand me. I was reffering to this:

Don't be an ass and give negative rep just for having a conflicting opinion to someone else's post.

But more importantly, don't do it to the guy with the greatest rep power, especially when he has the means of finding out who did it

see any possible connections?

[Assertn]

Jadugar, I suppose I'd be calling you a hypocrite if I said that you gave me bad rep without any justification (or even as much as a word) as to why. Don't try to make yourself out to be some oppressed freedom-fighter if you're going to go and fire the first bullet.

So you are basically telling me te refrain from expressing my opinion against someone he has higher ranks in GW.

Wouldnt that contradict your morals

And also, you still didn't get what I was trying to tell you:
I'm telling you to refrain from NOT expressing your opinion if you're going to negatively critique a post.

Drama mama bomba!

I like the idea of Mods being unable to see who repped them, at least makes it even-steven with everything else.

This thread should not be used for 'aw drat someone Neg Repped me back under 2 boxes' or any other complaining/speculating about who Neg Repped you. Like comp said, you have a problem with comments/reps, you PM him. I will personally Neg Rep any future whiners who continue this as your bitching is neither a good post or an kind of asset to the convo. That should hush up some of the drama...

Also, I was pretty sure you could only give out one Smack of rep towards a certain post. So even if there was one user who only had one post ever and you wanted to praise them for it again you couldn't. I know this was true in the past, not sure about now...

[Kraco]

Now that mods (and admins?) can't anymore automatically see where the rep came from, we should start a campaign to get Terracosmo's rep back to normal levels...

Edit: Damn, it already is.

[Terracosmo]

I blame Assertn and Terra for this... Mod privileges should be kept quiet, you shouldn't be going around spouting crap about how great it is to be a mod because you can do this and that. It just breaks the system.

I might "spout" it but I haven't actually acted by it. For example even though I've been able to see who negative reped me, I've never "countered". It's not that big of a deal :P

Oh and I believe it was a good move by comp to make it so the comments aren't visible anymore.

And if it means so much to you guys, sure, I'll go back to regular reputation.

Now please cease the goddamn drama.

And for the love of cupcakes stop acting like wannabe knights, NOBODY has EVER said that KIT is a BAD POSTER. Nor has anyone said that she doesn't deserve her reputation BECAUSE SHE DOES. SO DI=)AI=¤")=¤")=¤")=&#164"¤"¤"¤

[Knives122]

Now please cease the goddamn drama.

But "Days of our reps" is just starting to get good. Joey told Starla that Roxine said that Sara just gave Tina a bad rep to Shrek.

and now George is about to confront Tom about the pos. rep he gave to Quinxy.

[Terracosmo]

lol "Days of our reps". Not bad.

[RyougaZell]

Someone bad rep me for not liking Naruto fillers

Seems I found someone who likes em
