If you give up rep, could we still keep those lovely glowing nipples. I'd feel, I don't know, not quite whole without them.
No. There should be some changes to the rep system. Have rules in place for everyone when the little box comes up telling them that the rep isn't to be used to abuse other ppl. Focus on those who have a poor record of giving rep and have done the wrong thing. Think of this as well. The less smartarses we have the better this forum will be.
Individually, I understand these words, but they make no sense in this order. Face it, the humor is the only thing this board has going for it much of the time. Otherwise, you got nothing but overreaction, assessments of players from people who have never seen them play and outright paranoia.
Are we allowed to consult with Mods when getting neg-reps for no reason, if it's obvious? It's okay if someone doesn't like what I post, but still, one particular guy keeps giving me neg-reps even for talking about weather, for example (there was no battle in the thread anyway). I want his ridiculous negreps removed!! Some people are surely enjoying to spread neg-reps regardless of the quality of the posts. I wish if those insensitive users are prohibited giving reps, especially neg-reps to anyone. I don't mind leaving the Rep system, but not the system as it is now.
Funny that .. exactly same experience Who's neg repping you? If you don't feel comfortable posting that, can you PM me? I have a suspicion that it might be the same person ..
I think it has some worth. I think it cleans up a lot of the, 'Good post' 'I agree' or 'You're an idiot' type stuff. FOr that alone I think it's worth it. In terms of people who bitch about getting neg repped? Just neg rep them into the stone age. Screw 'em. I still think the system would be better if there was a way to rpevent the rep cliques or having the rep be for soccer boards only but hey, whatever.
I think the current rep system is fine...IF everyone has the same rep power. I mean, why does a negrep from some bozo with lots of green nipples count for -35 while a guy who has not rep whored can only register a -1? In a democracy, one man (or woman), one vote.
personally, I like the rep system, its fun people that are complaining about it are taking it way to seriously who hasn't had a little negative rep?? so I say SUCK IT UP
Like any system, people will always get round the side of it. (Like tax It always comes back to policing. But like others have said. Its just a bit of fun.
meh Rep is rep. People are always gonna abuse the system. Its only purpose is to widdle out those good posters and those blatant trolls. But even then, you know who are the idiots by what they write on the boards. I never neg rep someone for simplying making a stupid or ignorant comment only for personal attacks. I'd prefer to just argue with them until it gets ugly. But I did get some neg rep by some Marseille goon because I made a slight tounge in cheek remark about their team. If they did the same to PSG, I couldn't give a fvck and I would laugh it off. Happens all the time on the French forum. Its banter, part of the game. Get on with it. However there is one good suggestion. Make rep power the basis on how long a person has been here by the amount of rep he or she has. So someone who has been here 4 years has 4 times the rep power of someone who has been here 1 year. Could work...... I know the system is getting abused by a few posters. Buy hey, that's life. There are always some bad eggs. I don't think if you made a silly comment on a board somewhere, you are liable to get repped into oblivion. So I am undecided on the whole issue. I'll let the older BS statesmen decide if it goes or not. But then again, I do like to ride my ego trip like 99.9% of the BS population. And its always cool to build an army of glowing nipples.
*sigh* Yes they use this site, but No, they shouldnt have any imput into what goes on. Thats where the Premmies come in.
Yeah I agree, we input into the site, so we should get to say what goes on, as it would affect us more. I think we should have conversations like this in a special club lounge or something.
Well, I thought the over 12-word post has been one of the better thought-out ones in this thread so far, bringing up some good points to either remove the entire thing or change a few things here and there, totally excusing the abundance of words that hurt the eyes. I'm more for removing it entirely, so I stole that quote. Seeing as it's being 'abused' ("What? Bhutan is not better than Montserrat!! Neg rep 4 U...hmm, right after I raise my well deserved rep up by typing one word in one of those 'ultra secret' threads") so much that there are even people who are complaining about the people that complain about the rep system ..... and that about something that serves no purpose at all on this board.
I agree to a degree. Getting repped by someone with 10 green dots gives you an absurd amount of points. I'm not totally against weighting these things a bit, but not by so much as now. It's currently far too easy for people to get their friends up to max rep. With less points it might take even genuinely good posters 6 months or a year to build up max rep, but I think that be a good thing and stop it being such a novelty. ps I was once given positive rep by persiantiger. I felt like looking for ways to renounce it.
The whole idea of Rep is a classic. No message boards in England do it. I personally think it is class. But what do i know. I only live on a little Island. pfffffffft. Ps. Come on lads.
