Ideas for a new rep system

[boedicca]

Meh. A lot of my posts are from when everyone had much lower rep (or before the rep system was even around). And I've taken a couple of hiatii.

Perhaps I deserve the rep equivalent of unemployment: unposting rep!

Who cares about rep?

I think that it is pretty obvious to anyone that the rep system that we have is open to corruption and abuse !!! To give you some idea of why I sat this let me describe my situation. Over the past two months I have lost approximatly 15,000, rep points at the hands of four people. One poster has neg reped me approximatly 24 times, they have gone so far in their hatred as to go back to some of my posts that were posted before they came on the board to neg rep me, I try to not let it bother me but it is getting old fast. Now this is our board and I think that it is our obligation to come up with some ideas to improve it and offer them to the adminestrators.

The first idea that comes to my mind is that for all noobs no points should be lost for to first year, still allow neg reps and comments so they can learn but don't take the reps.

Please come up with your own Ideas and submit them here.

P.S. If you would like to give me some pos reps to make up for the ones I have lost and am continuing to lose that would be great.

thanks
Patrick

Why is rep so important to you? If you had 10,000 rep points it wouldn't be worth a damn for anything. It's meaningless. You can have all of my rep if you can talk a mod into giving it to you. Quit bitching...

Dude has a point though - its always that someone dislikes your post -its when they search through your posts, looking for one they can neg - and it might not even be a bad post. Its sneaky, and sly.

But I don't agree with not allowing noobs to lose rep for the first 12 months - that's way too long. I think perhaps an ability to turn off neg rep could be an option - this would mean that you couldn't receive negs, nor issue them.

But all in all, I am okay with the system the way it is. I get negs because some of my posts deserve one, to be honest. You learn as you go, pretty much.

i've read your posts and they are all excellent and consistent. the only one i thought you deserved a "neg" on was the one you didn't make. you allowed QW to make a very bigoted and hateful comment on what was called a "feel good" thread. i lost all respect got you after that. prior to your silence, i had the utmost respect for you...and the same with some other posters on that thread. (one of you said she would stop posting on the new thread. that didn't last long.)

but...silence is golden, as they say..and certainly speaking out is not worth losing any sleep, or rep points, over.

Noomi allowed it? How the **** is she supposed to stop me? Have you seen some of the stuff I have said to her?

And how often have I negged you for it?

Not very often. Its okay to get heated in a debate.

Warning: Posters past here will be negged.

Dear Patrick: I have never even looked into what this REP system is about. If you can't control it, then it should not be depended upon in the first place. I look at which people thank me or others for which posts, and follow up with THAT person where we agree on points. That is how I check which of my posts/points are connecting with which person.

As for negative feedback or REPs, if this person is willing to resolve issues with you, that may be worth pursuing. If people just post negative responses and DON'T want to resolve the issue with you, what is the point? That is not your problem, and the system should not be used to judge you for it -- it really reflects back on the people who are not willing to resolve issues but just want to complain. You can't help that, so I don't even look at that if people can't control or correct it.

Focus on the people, posts and points that do have a chance of meaningful resolution.
The rest is just not worth hassling over if (a) we can't control it and (b) if the people it's coming from don't really care about following up and resolving anything anyways.

Yours truly,
Emily

Don't worry about points under a system you can't control.
Worry about getting your points across, and which people help you to do that
even by correcting or refining your ideas so you become more effective.

Negged. Next!

Who cares about rep?

LOL I don't mind if they neg rep you, but I do find the fact they leave derogatory comments and then deny a reply in kind, or in charity, annoying.

If you notice some of the most arrogant, retarded posters on USMB who are usually of the right wingnuttery have the highest rep count. A regular circle jerk of idiots. Face it, they are all losers and even lost in the political world, so allowing them a childish comeback keeps their simple souls happy. 'No, you are' is the best the morons can do, reply with advice and help, and maybe there would be a slim chance of recovery.

It would be nice to be able to see who gave Pos or Neg rep to whom that would go a long way to stop rep trading
