The Reputation System Needs to Change

[GameMaster]

I have been stripped of my privilidges and I'm getting pretty upset. This morning I went to see how many people have +repped me today and I couldn't see their names! This is an outrage! As a GT Elder, I have the right to see who my fans are. I'll be taking action if things around here don't shape up. I have a list of names of people I think need to be 'adjusted' and I'm not afraid to submit that list to the GT Lord.

Hey! Me neither! I am glad that I was heard and action was taken. This is most definetely an improvement. Muchos gracias ('cause, you know, I'm Spanish and all).


/me shrugs and walks away

Indeed. No one is able to view who has left them reputation anymore. More changes may also take place in the future: such as deleting all reputation points and starting over.

No one? Admins still can

[Canyarion]

Are admins above the law?

Seize them! They're traitors who try to take over the Republic!! Oh wait, other scene.

[GameMaster]

Starting over? This is an outrage! I worked hard for my reputation and I refuse to hand it over to some corporate puppet for his games. If my reputation so much as decreases by one point from unnatural causes, complaints will be made and boycotts will be taken.

My friends, we're on the verge of a giant revolution. As new powers settle into the throne, they desire to tear down our old ways of life and replace them with their new corrupt ways. Let us join in arms together and fight these new changes and defend our age-old way of life led by honor and truth! GameTavern is in peril and it needs your help!

[Canyarion]

Let's give GameMaster supreme powers to fight this problem. He will of course lay down these powers after the war is over.

Alright, everyone's reputation has been set to 0. These are the new rules:

• Each user is allowed 10 reputation clicks per day
• You must give reputation to two other users before you can give reputation to the same user again
• I will be watching for reputation circles where you plus rep another member for the sole purpose to increase your reputation (That's you GameMaster, Null, Danchastu, etc)
• Administrators and Moderators now follow the same reputation rules as all other members

On a forum, you tend to know the reputation of everyone. On one this small, you know the reputation of everyone.

exactly. the idea behind a rep, is for people who dont know that person, can see what others think of him.

like i ask a question and GettoBob comes on an answers, i've never seen GettoBob before, and his rep has all negatives, i know how seriously to take his answer.


rep just doesnt work on a small group like this.
