Title says it all.
It wouldnt be bad if it can be controlled pretty closely... With the users now it would be used correctly... but being such a large board, but yet so tighy knit... I think it is uneeded. Of course this is only opinion... because I never seen that on such an intelligent board... then again... I dont think I have ran accross another one.You seem to assume that I would let it get that way. You assume wrong. There are several ways to control it in which you can't just randomly give people points. The number of ways I can customize it is broad. I think its a nice idea but hey that is why I put the poll up. I think it would work nice if I set it up right but the choice is yours.
Well...if this is the case...give it a try I guess.You seem to assume that I would let it get that way. You assume wrong. There are several ways to control it in which you can't just randomly give people points. The number of ways I can customize it is broad. I think its a nice idea but hey that is why I put the poll up. I think it would work nice if I set it up right but the choice is yours.
Its really a toss up and actually if you just read a little bit when you first join the board it is very easy to tell who knows what they are talking about and who you can trust. IMO our board is great and doesn't need th bb.com addition. If you want us to be rated maybe it should be a mod only rating. That way it is trusted and isn't given for good porn pics or for other stupid things
Aha you're not satisfied with being top poster, now you want most rep points too! :lol:The look.

Yeah...a simple poll turned into this.This thread is hilarious.
People getting ornery about some silly little dohicky. I can only imagine how tight their panties get when some of a serious nature comes along.
funnaY!
And why would that change if it was implemented?I vote no, I think reputations are built and known around here without little light bulbs around their name, just my opinion
It would be almost the same. The people that worry about abuse surprise me because it would be the same people you have now! Can you imagine someone asking for rep points on this board? He would be damaged for life...lolI liked when the "old" board had the karma points. I think it would be fine. I'm sure the clown in charge wouldn't let it get abused. He takes too much pride in his board.
I like the number of posts option = rep power option as well as the member time = rep power optionsYou can automatically get rep points for particiapting and being a member...example you get 1 point per month....1 point per 100 posts...
Here are some of the criteria I can set
How many different users must you give reputation to before you can hit the same person again?
How many reputation clicks can a user give over each 24 hour period?
How much reputation must a user have before his reputation hits count on others?
For every X points of reputation, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
For every X number of posts, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
For every X number of days, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
i dont know if this was towards me or not but i just offered my opinion. please dont hurt me.:blink:Unbelievable.
This I uinderstand and makes sense. But you have to remember that not anyone can give rep points out and you would be pretty limited to what you could do in a 24 hour period of time. You also couldn't give someone mulitple points and couldn't rep the same person after you gave a certain number amount of reps to other people. I could set that as high as I want. So all in all, I could control it very well.Personally I don't feel the need for rep points. Not because I fear a circle jerk and I am sitting next to Big Petie, but because it encourages research on whos advice you are consuming. To see a ton of points means you'll probably take it as Gospel. I'd much rather take the time to know who is head clown, being strattled in the back of a jeep, whos afraid of brown recluses and whos a gift from God.
I encourage people to research their community, that's all. If anything I like the idea of Mods giving out points. That may be a trend-setting idea over who knows what and who has good porn. :burger:
Actually no, it was just a poll.No need to get upset when people say they'd rather not have it, this thread was meant to be a feedback thread right?
I voted no, but just because I've been here for a while and already know who is well respected. If there were some way to read people's minds and give the most points to the most knowledgeable people, I'd be all for it But otherwise I think rep points, no matter how regulated, eventually become a popularity contest.
In that case why not just give it a trial run and that way those who are against it can actually see if this idea can actually exist without abuse. I mean you can always disable it whenever it shows signs of failure.Actually no, it was just a poll.
And as for popularity contest, that only exists when people actually care about getting the points. If you don't have that type of membership then the situation is avoided. People interact with the same people regardless of a little green dot is next to their name or not.
As I said before, the situations many of you describe only exists when the member base faciliates it. Are you saying that putting a rep system in would turn this board into bb.com? I don't tihnk so. If a little green light has that much power then people need to re-evaluate their roles in life.
In any case, I tohugh it was neat novelty much like the karma system. No more, no less.
