Reputation System

[Tyco]

Let me give you admins fair warning about the reputation system:

I have been on another forum, unicyclist.com specifically, that used the same forum software and had the rep system. The rep system was removed after a few months because of a lot of "give me rep" threads, and bribes, and things like that. Everybody was so caught up in their reputation marks, that they forgot to talk about the whole topic of the forum, unicycling.

I am just warning you on what could happen with this newly implanted reputation system. It may be taken fine, and no problems occur, but I wanted to let you know what I've experienced.

well I dont know, doesnt seem to catch on yet. how does it work and what is it for anyway !?

[RustyBurrito55]

I don't think they have the rep system enabled on this board. It's just a system where users can rate other peoples posts. Good ratings give the person a higher repuatation that shows up under their usernames. www.skaterscafe.com has a rep system going and it seems to work pretty smoothly.

EDIT: I just saw the thing that lets you rate threads. Is this what you're talking about?

This feature was being tested and needs to undergo more review so till then its disabled again

[EBasil]

Yeah... the "reputation" or "user rating" feature is a lot like running for student council...

we use a karma thing on OLF, its been the cause of many a hurt feeling.

Yea, I agree - same with my other forum.

Admin, if you want to reinstate it, can you please hold an official poll first?

[Directive0]

Actually, the hurt feelings were mostly with consumers and retailers. When someone doesn't like a deal or the treatment they get, they can be pretty ruthless. Also doesn't help when the retailer fans the flames...

....long story. Essentially, karma is bad when you have a large group.
