Jesus Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Well, Seeing as how we have Warn Levels now, (Commonly used in InvisionFree), what is the point of having Reputation? All reputation does is a way to reward you if you do somthing good, or scold you if you do somthing bad. BUT, If we were to remove said reputation, it would do more good things than bad. For example:-No More Rep Spam.-Less Double Accounting-More use of the Report button instead of just Neg Repping the guy (Which doesn't get you anywhere)-There would be no more need for the Rep Complaint Thread, which would cause the site to run faster.-Senseless Leavings becaue of bad reputation. That's just to name a few. But there is also bad that could come of this. -Users with high reputation count would say 'No Way! I like my high reputation!' Thus 'boycotting' the removal of reputation.-It would put more strain on Super Mods because more people would use the report button, UNLESS a rule was put in that you can only report once a day or somthing, or only one person could report per thread. This is just a suggestion, What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntar! Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Like many before you, this has been attempted, but Even users with low reputation perfer reputation here. I do, it allows us a sense of popularity, to know you are liked, to know you are wanted, to give warnings, to show admiration and reward. I find out that there are just as many benefits as there are downsides... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
advicedog Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Note that one person here has 14 rep and wants it removed, while another has 165 and would prefer to leave it be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
