Reputation System Reset Pending...Dec 07

[Xue Sheng]

Thinking about this a little more and although I would like to see it where if your reps are disabled you should not be able to rep I got to say what difference would it really make if you can rep and then shoot give out bad reps and don’t sign them what is the difference. Actually I would like it better if there was an ID with the rep, good or bad

Funny thing... rep changes were made (today.. dec 1st) ... and the title says dec 7th or is that what I'm not reading?

That was Dec. '07 (as in, 2007), not Dec. 7.

 

[Bob Hubbard]

I may do that, but it'll require clearing out old comments.

You see, I was not the only one confused by that

Side bar: There are more changes coming. Decembers going to be interesting, and 2008 a wild ride. Some will love it, some will hate it, and I...I will be riding the lightning, *insert Dr. Evil laugh*

Was this an answer to the reps with ID or something completely different?

I it was to the rep with ID I do think that would cut down on a lot of revenge reps and might get rid of a few headaches for you.

Of course other headaches will pop up to replace those headaches eventually

Thanks for the warning!

I concur Drac - the light of democracy was estinguished and the drabness of the totalitarian hand besmirched all before our eyes.

Then again, I knew it was an oligarchy when I signed up, so it's no good my complaining about it now when I didn't get my way . Oddly, I do feel inside like I've been demoted from trusted Leftenant to Spear-Carrier Third Class tho'.

I'll give the new system time to settle but at first glance it's, no pun intended for a change, kind of pointless if I'm reading the above parameters correctly. With my awesome rep power of three I can hand out 'buff's' till doomsday and make not a hair of difference to someones public persona.

Still, I suppose the comments will still count for the people concerned and that's the most important thing.

The lack of visible rep in no way diminishes the respect that you and others have earned here. :asian:

Ride the Lightning

My fingers grip with fear
What am I doing here?

Okay, now ... I have a problem with that. If a person doesn't want to play the game then it should be an all-or-nothing system, IMNSHO. If you're going to participate then people should be able to see your rep display - if you're not going to show it to anyone else then you shouldn't have the power to influence other peoples' rep.

Sorry, but it's an integrity thing for me.

Having my green pips disabled never stopped anyone from slamming me ... or praising me. It just made the pips invisible.

Also, there was also a comment some years back, that when rep was disabled that only purple dots were awarded (or that's how I understood it). That turned out to not be true and I got slammed about that recently too. Which is why I ask the question again now.

Reps with ID's. Making who reped who visible.

We're going to be less tolerant of rep-abuse and I'm going to try to spot check a few times a month. People who think there is abuse going on should keep letting us know. Seems like we more often than not say theres nothing actionable, but it's all noted.

THUNDER—
I can hear the lightning flash—
Hold to me
Ride the storm...

Somehow,
Even in our darkest hour,
We'll find the power
To RIDE the storm!!

Ride the Lightning

My fingers grip with fear
What am I doing here?

Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the pain

We need a headbanging smiley.

 

[exile]

We need a headbanging smiley.

We've got one, no?

 

[Kreth]

We've got one, no?

No, I meant the fun kind of headbanging, not the "frustrated with morons" one... :lol:

 

[Bob Hubbard]

This one?
:headbangin:

 

[Kreth]

This one?
:headbangin:

Sweet!
Now as to the topic, I just realized that I've been running around without the pasties covering my naughty bits. Excuse me... :uhoh:

 

[Carol]

How about this one...

ROCK!!! :shakes hair like I haven't done since, ooh, well, erm, last month ROFL:. :cheers:.

Also, I find it surprising, given the general calibre of people we have here at MT, that 'revenge rep'ing' goes on . If I disagree with someone then I'll tell them (if I think it'll do any good) - giving them negative rep seems a touch futile when it comes to conflict resolution :shrugs:.
