evilfusion Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 There's no neg system? i should be entitled to show contempt for posts i find awful The fact this is your first post demonstrates part of the inherent issue with neg reps: It's potentially abusable. But no, the neg rep system got removed a few years ago, when this board got switched over. I don't remember if it was a deliberate decision to remove it, or just the consequence of changing boards.

Sora1499 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Then you can have your sweet little sense of contempt in your own mind, and savor all of the petty feelings of conviction and pride that come from such contempt, and no one will be the worse off.

Kazooie Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Oh i'm sorry if my post is awful too bad you can't neg it Don't worry! We can just tell people WHY the post was awful rather then negging it and having no one improve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 If you can get past all the asswipes in this thread, the reason negs aren't available is because negs can potentially lead to flame wars, having two members go at each others throats over the dumbest of reasons and it creates more drama than necessary. And also for the reason Caeda said; people don't improve over numbers, they improve over words (in essence). Telling people what they did wrong in a calm manner instead of just negging a post and not doing anything about it is a better scenario, which, again, decreases potential drama and unnecessary flaming.

Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 this is why dgz posts are more better and this forum everything is garbage right That's not true. Comparing us to Dgz is comparing orange juice to apple juice. One forum is MUCH MUCH more lenient and casual than the other, which skews bias.

Kazooie Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 this is why dgz posts are more better and this forum everything is garbage right Negs do nothing to make a site better. That kind of thinking is absolutely horrid. Like Arin said, people don't improve from seeing a shitty number that's red. They improve through learning why what they said was wrong. Negs do not teach, they do not improve someone. They make people angry and act as a cope out to actually explanation of problems. By not having negs, people have to rely on words to argue with someone, not little numbers that have no real meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negs were removed as a side effect of transferring boards. Only the head admin had any say in that change, and neg reps were not included in that switch. It's not really something that can be restored, and we've functioned quite well despite that. However, this thread's purpose is moot. Neg reps contributed very little to the quality of the forum, where if you make someone mad over anything, you can probably expect to get neg-repped to hell by them, their friends, and/or their alt accounts, whether deserving or not. Thread can only be expected to get into arguments. Locking it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
