Post: Reputation System - Better now or then?
03-19-2012, 08:07 PM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Okay so the staff has been talking about rep (yet again) and about how the prestige system combined with the caps on rep have made it significantly harder members to earn rep and climb the rankings. Not to mention it's nearly impossible for members who have registered after the rep cap to even have a chance of catching members who were around and active before it.

To quote Needa:

there is one with a silver star, 2 with a single brown star, and only 10 total with 1k rep or more.
We have less than 7 guys since then that are even showing a single gold bar..

There is something flawed in that...


Now this thread is a poll to see what reputation system YOU prefer, the current, the one we have now, etc. etc.
Please keep in mind that this is just a general consensus to see what you all prefer, and if one 'wins' the poll, that doesn't mean that system is being enacted. We're just looking for opinions.

Personally, I believe the best reputation system to be the one that was here when I joined - Not regulated at all. No +/- cap truly let members get what they deserve out of their hard work or bad posts. The more effort you put into things, the more effort you'd get out of them. It promoted activity in my eyes, and that is how I would want it to be now. Rep boosters or people who exploit and abuse it would have a more harsh punishment.

I like uncapped without prestiges for many reasons.

1- Rep is important, we all like rep, and enjoy earning it.
2- Prestiges are quite pointless.
3- It's rewarding repping quality posts, and of course, begging poor quality posts.

I like the uncapped but people will definitely abuse the fact that there is no cap. Rep boosters will boost up higher and haters can deduct more than necessary from one's rep. So a guy with one post can get like 1000 rep in one post and someone who made a smartass comment for a joke will go negative in less than an hour. I think the current rep system is good but I prefer uncapped.

Uncapped with prestiges would be so much better, people might actually get 10th now :p


Actually I offered that idea in one of my old suggestion threads and it got denied, and what got approved was the rep cap, you can see it right here: You must login or register to view this content. As you can see, when I made that thread rep was gone and the only way to rep was with the thanks/groan buttons.

Heres my view , A) Their are alot fags who were against rep who now have all of sudden jumped in the bandwagon . B) The quality of threads have dropped compared to the old days C) I don't really care what you guys do to rep , as long as you keep it at 10k because i feel its unnecessary drama D) We can have a nice SB no im 100 away from a star spam , i admit i was at fault and nothing was said to me , so i kept on until 420's thread. If those points and reasons are adhered to im cool .

Also, there are many members around here who earned theirs and if it was decreased or halved more then it already has been then there would be a GIANT shit storm.

you think 200 rep is close to none? lol proves my point the numbers of rep are to high
