Reps

Draztik-Meshurz · AB Rep: +2 700 Credits

Another -rep to a person who appears to be a mainstay member of the forum. What's the point of having rep here? 1 person is collecting rep like it's gold and another is collecting smilies like those are gold. Does anyone use this feature like it's intended or is it only used to show who's popular, who's not or to punish someone for not having the same point of view? Kind of like a schoolyard game of 2 for Flinching.

That sounds like a great idea

The fact of the matter is, Reputation is something we deal with on a daily basis.

Maybe it's not so bad for people to come in the forums and see ''Hey, that
guy is well known, maybe his advice is legit'' or ''hey that person has a lot of negative rep, maybe I shouldn't take his trolly remarks to heart.''

Point being: There's a reason people are kissing certain peoples asses.

On the other hand, the Aura kind of messes it up. We should be able to -rep the jerks, bullies, and even people who are overly ''brown nosing'' top players without losing our aura.

I disagree. People play games to escape and enjoy themselves. In RL they have to deal with brown-nosing, bullies and jerks. While there seems to be a couple I've met here there should really be no "rep" system here. Just because a person's rep is high doesn't mean they consistently give good advice. Maybe people are sucking up to them for whatever reason. Just because a person has negative rep doesn't really mean they're a bad person either. Maybe someone or a few people just have it out for that person. In RL people are judged enough by others. There's no sound reason to have a system to "judge" the members here. Long time members know who the good members are just as they know who the "troublemakers" are. It won't take long for newbies, like myself, to find out who the quality people are versus the losers.

People want to be here to relax and have fun. Leave the daily grind of being judged in RL.

The rep system was a good idea and at the same time a BAD idea. New people that come along will probally judge us by how many reps we have. I don't kiss enough ass to have 50 or more reps and I'm not saying people with that many or more do but it seems like the more friendly you are, the more reps you get. I'll never change who I am and thats just the way it's gonna be.

If people don't like me or what I have to say then too bad. What's a negative point going to do? Does it really solve any problems? no. Does a person with tons of + reps make them better than everyone else? no. When you think of it that way...the rep system is useless.

As every one has had their say regarding reps - time to move on from this.
