Ok am a bit late on this thread, been out whole day I read the 140+ posts then got to the last page to post what I think about the change.. Well that "cost" thing seems not to be a very good idea, this means you'll fear rating bad posts as you'll lose points for doing so. Why not just make the rep system visible :? ..
No Rubeina, Its just that now you will red rep only those posts you feel like they worth loosing a point. I can easily spend my one point on any spammy jackass
This is about the craziest thing I have ever heard of. Why even bother having this system in place at all then?? Now I have no points because I gave a handful of people negative reps???? This makes no sense what so ever. So now people can act like total idiots on here and won't get the reps the deserve because most of us will be too afraid to give them the reps the deserve?????
Relax mate!! Everyone here lost rep points. the world is not gonna end here. you'll earn'em again i am sure. so be cool have a jig and enjoy
Thank you Shawn - you made me laugh over and over on this one..... Now you can beg for red rep and not get it, unless someone has the extra to spare!! Maybe you should randomize it so not everyone will cost you and also randomize it so your name shows up next to it even if you don't want it to, that way people will be slow to throw red around. livingwithadd sounds like he got hit hard --LOL
Aren't there more important topics to make posts on, such as itrader? 391 posts wasted on, what is at the end of the day, a gif (or maybe several) ... a bunch of pixels.
I love to anonymously red rep in threads I don't participate in. I feel like a Ninja going in for the kill...no one sees me enter or leave but the red mark is left behind. Anyways..I lost over 100 points this morning. That sucked. I almost panicked till I found this thread. I read 3 pages then decided to just freakin post. My thoughts: F the rep system totally..what's the point now. I would rather the rep have username instead of a cost. Who would really bother with a red rep now? And if the red rep is useless then so is the green. I just don't understand the logic behind a 'cost' structure. I see no benefit other than to curtail red reps...which is imho the only value of reputation. It's not important to know who has a good rep..it's important to know how has a bad one. Under this new cost scheme...I doubt anyone will get a red rep now. The retroactive part is absurd. I would never have red repped had I known of this. What's next? A membership fee and all our accounts are closed until we pay for the past year? How about a pay per post structure...I guess I own Shawn about $1000 or whatever... Hey it's only rep and I could care less but really this doesn't appear to be very well thought out implementation. You shouldn't experiment imho with people's rep. As a protest...I will not be posting here for one week. I feel I have posted well here and will positive input. Until April 24th you won't be seeing my posts. I will continue to read however but I doubt I will visit nearly as much. bah...
Hey Man where is your that fat mouse from pinky and brain...i think. I loved that mouse as your avatar
I got an idea, how about if you stongly disagree with someone, you just post that you disagree , and maybe say why. Like adults maybe would. Yeah thats what coming next, jeez do you want some cheese to go with that whine?
Is it possible to do suicide? Keep red rep ppl in general chat. Do no harm to others and make myself bleed to death
Ohhh... that's too tempting! A system where you had to "buy" all the red rep you wanted to give out, and pay with your own existing rep. I would spend 500 points on Herr gworld.
