The Reputation System Needs to Change

Ginkasa · 05-26-2005, 02:13 AM

I'm all for neutral rep. The point is, the reputation system as it is has gotten out of hand and is being abused, and yes, even by me on occasion. I don't think I'd really be able to legitmately see how the reputation system has gone wrong unless I had been a part of it some way or another.

/me shrugs and walks away

I honestly acquired a large level of reputation with 5 shiny gold pips but then someone framed me and a staff member lowered it to 2 shiny gold pips. I'm still upset about that and would like my reputation restored.

I'll look at the entire reputation situation over summer. I'm sure some positive changes can be made. And as always, if you don't like it, don't use it.

And GameMaster, the post from the "GT Staff" was not funny.

"And as always, if you don't like it, don't use it."
Sure, where do I sign up so I can't use the system and others can't use it on me?

Well, if the system is meaningless, why would you care if anyone used it on you?

Reputation basically only goes up for funny posts anyways, so it misses the point in that respect. I'm trying to give it for informative, well written posts that teach me something (see: gekko's post on programming for PS3/XBox 360).

Ok I can't see the recipent anymore.
Perhaps that's because they finally took away some of my last remaining mod powers?
