Remove reputation from forum
I agree with Darvond. It is just a carte blanch for trolls and cowards and is also open to mass abuse by automated voting scripts. People using these should be banned.
It's worthless and a detriment to good conduct around the forum because it allows users to anonymously antagonize others.
Atleast remove the minus-button.
The rep system is being used to bully people and should be removed
Welp, At least they could show you WHO derepped you!
I want it gone pronto!
That, or keep the option to upvote but remove the ability to downvote so trolls can't systematically downvote those they disagree with.
Yeah. I voted too. There is a horde of idiots round these parts, who keep your posts bookmarked and log in together at correct time, to downvote en masse. I never cared about rep anyway, but i always cared about stooges who can exploit the, or any, system; while actually crying like sissies that they are fighting against it... The irony
Ok, maybe some abuse the reputation system, but I think it has way more advantages than disadvantages.
It's "themselves" and "other", not "themself" and "pther". And reputation in the forum is an excellent function, so you see the difference between people who are really helpful and those who just write nonsense. That's a very good use.
That's "you're", twice. And much of the problem doesn't hinge on "not getting rep". It hinges on losing rep. I could live with an uprep-system only. I've seen what kind of abusive posts regularly gather rep into the green, so I don't give a shit about self-congratulatory rep wanks and the fantasy that "good people get good rep". It's the same rep that assholes gather, given Tby other assholes or alt accounts. here is no 'good rep'.
If your useless on the forums you dont get rep. If your helpful on the forums you should get rep.
@bigbluogre They can go to reddit for that. They'll be fucked there as well, of course.
No. Good people deserve good rep. :P
I second amurgaming. Also, the rating system wouldn't be as bad if low rated posts won't be hidden. Even with hiding turned off in the forum settings, a post will be hidden right after the user downvotes it (e.g. to counter an ongoing rep war). I don't know if the setting is on or off by default, "on" would be bad because then, the forum will hide posts from users who don't even know about this possibility.
The Plancescape Torment: Enhanced Edition threads still give me nightmares.
Numbers! All i can do is express my selfworth in numbers! Do not touch that number. It's my number. Do not call my number names, but feel free to call my number otherwise to talk about why the days of humankind are numbered if people start identifying with numbers. Crunching the numbers, i fear soon those of us who use numbers but do not equate themselves with numbers will be outnumbered by those who do. Just thinking about all this makes me feel numb...errrr...
Away with you!
I agree that this feature is mean and I don't even understand why GOG implemented such a mean feature.
It gives apriori about persons before we even get to talk to them.
Please remove this apriori feature and let people make their opinion about people on their own.
P.S. I did vote for this wish. That post of mine must have been made when I was less educated about the situation here.
We have a rep system?
So user noncompliantgame has just posted in the conspiracy nutter thread that he has six (and many more) alt accounts with which he downvotes others and upvotes himself, and he let some of his freshly made alt accounts post just to spite the angry community. If that isn't a clear sign that the reputation system is completely fucked on this forum, I really don't know what is.
It's a horribly abuse enabling design, certainly.
Well, at least it's totally annoying to see good friends having a negative reputation for speaking out against scammers...
It looks like somebody is using scripts to systematically downrep people - I think those deserve to get this fixed...
Should we even be concerned about downrepping? All it does is make a meaningless number go down.
