THE ForceFan27™ Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I hope this isn't moved because it has everything to do with this board. If someone likes what you say, they can "REP" you...adding points to your "reputation." But, if someone doesn't like what you say, the can "NEG" you...taking points away.I have seen this done on other sites, and generally, it works ok. But I don't see it working well here. I'm not sure why, but I only see this getting out of hand...kinda like the "WHAT HAPPENED TO MY POST COUNT" debacle awhile back. I hope this ends up being removed.End well this will not.

Dem Birds Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I don't think this actually affects anything like some boards do. I think it's just kind of like the youtube thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEinPHX Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I used to spend time on the Bengals board, which had the rep feature. Mostly it just struck me as nonsense - the way I see it, it doesn't take long to figure out for yourself whose posts make sense to you and whose don't, and I don't see any need to pass judgment. On the other hand, if this gives us troll control by deleting certain posts through massive negative rating, I'm all for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supes™ Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 It's for troll control. James H. said that if a troll accumulates 35 negative strikes, the post is automatically deleted. Problem is, the same troll can just re-post unless banned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyhole Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 It'll hide posts considered "negative." Depending on your threshold of stupid shît.Although -20 seems like an extreme starting point. Where are the -5 and -10 options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocktailcove Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Looks like there is a quota or limit for how many negative marks you can give in one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevykev21 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I know im gonna be in the negative... I already am! I just gave you a "plus one" for your sig line making me laugh:"MAY DAY, MAY DAY... MY SHIP IS SINKING!!!!"

Chris D Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 The only reason it may not work out well here is because if someone posts just one opinion in which no one agrees with, and they all negate the poor guy, that guy is looking at a huge drop in Rep.

Finally Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I think it might be funny to see how many negative votes are handed out tomorrow when meltdown threads emerge. I might break my own rule and check in.Next week when someone starts the weekly 3 JA98 threads the people who start them will be in for a rude surprise. The frustration that everyone has with those broken record posters will get them record numbers of negative votes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
