Maxman Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 We lost one of our own today. Please, a moment of silence. I thought reputation was a bad idea. But people wanted it so we set it up. I got a complaint about someone neg repping others. I figured I would go in and just disable the entire feature. I thought my orginal idea was the right one (rep was bad). Anyhow I looked through the logs just now. And I found that it is actually a pretty good feature. Most people are using it in a positive way. With one glaring exception. So instead of disabling the feature for everyone I just disabled it for one person. The funny part? He had 2 pages of positve rep that he left for other people. And 30 pages of negative rep. 30 pages of negative rep that he left for other people. They were thought provoking as well. The comments of ead. suk it. i hate u. Wow, a real deep thinker. Sometimes if you don't have anything nice to say....well, you know how that saying goes. At any rate -- the User Reputation is not a way to bypass any of the few site rules that we have. No personal attacks. The best part? The 30 pages of negative rep\personal attacks took about 3 seconds to delete. All that hard work, down the drain.

I just saw this item and wanted to applaud you for not dumping rep because a few posters were abusing it. Too many times in our society we eliminate fun/important/controversial things for the sake of the lowest common denominator. I like the rep feature and don't mind if I get positive or negative comments. It just means I have caused a reaction and people are reading my words.

#27TheDominator Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Why is negative rep abusing the system? Are we supposed to love everybody and everything they say? I don't see a problem with negative rep, but I can see a problem with comments like EAD. It should be EABOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I agree with Dom about the neg rep. Why have it if you're not allowed to utilize it. It's not much of a system if your not allowed to give neg rep to posters who you feel deserve neg rep. The comments thing I can understand.

You can use it but in cases when 60,000 are left and they all say EAD I think that qualifies as excessive negativity. Even by JetNation standards!
