Petition to Ban Rep Pyramids

[lovemachine]

.

It will be very difficult for anyone to max out their rep on the new system, so what's the problem?

How is it difficult? What's changed?

I find it odd that someone on a GUN forum is clamoring for more control and regulations.

There are plenty of issues in life that I feel warrant an emotional response. I just can't see including "rep pyramids" among them.

I voted bacon, now who's going to send me a pound?



I voted, therefore I am entitled to something for free.

OK, based on the neg reps I've received, I would like to amend my previous position...

 

[LPMan59]

I just have a moral opposition to it. I already explained it.

seriously?

Rep means nothing. The ability to neg rep is gone, and people give rep for the stupidest/silliest things ("LOL funny pic!" and of course the "rep pyramid" and "post whore" threads), so having the system in place is pretty much pointless. With the "new INGO," everyone's rep was knocked back to zero and I was really hoping for some kind of meaningful overhaul, but such is apparently not to be. I would have preferred to see the "like" feature retained (it was there, then it was gone) and the rep system globally disabled... but nobody asked me.

I like SaintsNSinners liking bwframe's post, and I like bwframe liking shooter 521's post, but shooter521's post was TL;DR.

You can indeed -rep.

It does work.

Heck yeah it does! You negative repped me for being "out of control" in the Zimmerman fread. In a weird sort of way, it was nice to see.

Kut (doesnt like the rep pyramids either, and refuses to participate)

 

[CPT Nervous]

So, giving negative rep to someone who participates in the rep pyramid is proper use of the rep system?

Lol you need to take a break from the internet

Yes.

Yep.

I've just been -repping them. I made the mistake of posting in one, and they repped me. I never wanted that to happen...

I'm not really sure how you possibly inciting a "rep-war" is such a good idea. I'm all for you speaking your mind--more power to you--put it out there and let the debate rage. Who knows, you might change a mind or two or even get your way. But to just go around neg repping people for no reason is tantamount to trolling.

It is my understanding that it is the hard feelings caused by neg rep in the past was the reason it was disabled.

What a person post means more to me than their rep points.

This

[marrell1482]

I honestly don't care what people do with their rep. Rep me or don't but I'm not gonna post in a thread just to get it.

 

[DaKruiser]

I love this polls options, it's just like one of the liberal gun control polls.

No. Let people abuse the system = don't ban guns. Let people keep killing others!

How about, mind your own, and if you don't like mine

Rep is meaningless anyway. I can spend an hour researching case law and IC code and give a useful and informed post and get nothing. I can spend an hour putting together photos and a review of a new product that is useful and informative and get nothing. I can make a sexual innuendo joke and get dozens of reps points.

I figure my reputation is based on how posters view me and my posts, not if someone took the time to click a button.

Now rep me so I can feel good about this post, and myself by extension.

This is very true.
