Rep System?

No thanks.

Unless that's the new system you were gonna use to replace credits, no.

No, it would just be a way of showing if you are a good user or a bad user which in turn, isn't fair at all.

I voted no. It is an OK idea but the actual system of it isn't.

Who voted yes, then? :S

WOOOO HOOO! I voted yes. I think we need something to keep the forum straight, infractions aren't working, because they are tooken off after a while.

You didn't even do the number line mark correctly.

-5/-4/-3/-2/-1/0/1/2/3/4/5
That's how it goes.


I dunno, sounds a lot like something that'll be based on favoriting and will cause favoriting.

Yaagh, I left, liek, the most important detail out. D:

You don't get banned or anything if you lose all your rep.

...and that is probably the worst detail.

If a user's rep would go down for flaming or what not (things that deserve infractions) then why wouldn't they get banned?

In a way, this is the same as infractions but you lose infractions for breaking a rule and you gain one for doing good. Those who do good enough get rewarded with alot that they really do not deserve.

Why should you get into a special group and rank just for having good rep?

What if a person with a rep of 5 (or whatever the max is) got all of the awards and then started breaking rules left and right?

Tons of questions that really don't need to be answered. :face:

Sounds good. But who is the judge? Who is to say what is good and what is bad?

Great! Now I'm backseating an admin :line:
Jk RTL. Ya know we love ya!

Maybee. :P

I say no. We have infractions. We dont need this.

This is great! Let's pass around "I voted" stickers to the staff, shall we?

I numbered them to make it easier to answer.

1) They would probably get infracted along with their deduction. So if they broke enough rules, they would probably still get banned. Make sense?

2) Yeah? So do Atomic Penguins.

3) The whole point of this in my mind is to stop the pointless obsession with post count. If people had something to strive for, then maybe it would provoke better behavior and overall goodness on the forum, rather than rapid posting in Posting Games and things like that.

4) They'd lose their rewards, then their rep. But hopefully, they would have been being a good role model long enough for that to come to them naturally. Another one of the goals of this is character building. I've seen this system take a completely immature forum to completely mature.

5.) And yeah, they do need to be answered--or no one will really understand the point.

6.) KD: Let's say someone was getting frequently infracted for similar things. We take away rep, right? Because it means they aren't really learning anything from their infractions. The taking away of rep will be based on what rules you break and just how frequently you break them.

7.) And gaining rep is based on how much you try to help the forum--genuinely. Helping new users, being patient, things like that, that prove that you really care for CPP's well-being.

8.) Argie: I'll probably start up a topic in the staff forum on rep. This way, the whole/majority of the staff gets a say and it's more fair and less favoring.

Lol. xP I hate integers.

RTL: You'd better not have just voted...
~Egaro

1.) No not really, you just said that they couldn't get banned now you are going against that.

2.) ...and I believe that group shouldn't be here either.

3.) Then why is the Atomic Penguins group still around? If you wanted to get away from the obsession of posting, take away the rewards not give them more!

4.) How do you take a signature away from somebody if they have it saved in their files? Also, I am guessing, the signatures would be numbered like the old legendary penguins thing. So you give it to them but then you can't take it back.

5.) Ha, I got tired of typing and so I only typed those few questions. I could keep going. ^_^

6.) I wonder why. You give them an infraction and then it is removed a few weeks later. Or has that been changed with the "new" infraction system?

7.) Who says the user is doing good though? I see alot of flaming against the person who does decide. "I did good here and here but you never raised my rep!!!"

8.) ...but you already said the all of the staff was against it and by the way they are voting it doesn't sound like they want it either.

The actual *user* votes are Yes: 4 No: 6.

How do you know this? What if a staff member only posted but didn't vote? Or what if a staff member voted but didn't say so?
