Is the rep system now almost useless?

Re: rep power is lame.

What would happen if I gave everybody negative rep from now on?

Seriously, would I be banned? Would everybody hate me? Just a lil social experiment I have been itching to try.

To me the rep system is like kudos - it shows that your fellow forum-members appreciate you and your work (and vice-versa). On the other hand, if your posts piss people off (ie: sexism, racism) then you (deservedly imo) get neg-repped.
But while there has been genuine concern and creditable posts about improving the system, there has also been some comments that deserve to stay in a schoolyard........:2 cents:

PS: re your little "experiment" - leave me out, thanks.
PPS: there's already a thread on this subject (http://board.freeones.com/showthread.php?t=57435&page=6). I would ask the mods to merge both.

I guess it's also your post count, over a year and so few posts it seems like you don't participate that much. Of course, when it comes to posts, go for quality not quantity.

You have been here since Nov 03 and yet I can honestly say that I have not noticed you.....

I wonder why??....

Just checked out your posting history.... Refering to a Member who has been here longer then you, as a "Noob".... well, I give you Rep for that....

Would I care, no I wouldn't, because I don't care about rep. At least I don't care about the number on the screen. However I would find your little 'social experiment' a little childish and quite frankly something I would think beneath you, especially you in fact. That would be worse than bad rep in my mind. I think you care about this rep stuff too much.

If I had to make a guess I would say a lot of that has to do with your approximate .3 post a day and the few number of post in the last 7 months many of those being in the find your favorite babe section.

I have always been the type who wants to now how a thing works, not to make it work for me. I'd rather work everyday than to live in the lap of luxury. And I don't like having myself expressed by a number. I don't want anyone to come on and see my rep, becuse they start forming opinions as soon as they see my rep numbers. I want to be judged by my words and actions not an arbitray number.

I'd rather have 1 gray rep stone and no view of my post count. I want EQUALITY. That's why I want to give bad rep, so I'll recive bad rap and I can go back down to zero, were all things are equal.
 
First and foremost this is a porn messageboard and i think the rep points should reflect that.Rep should only be allowed to be given in the find your favourite babe, identify/name the babe, suggestions & comments and watch that video threads.Some people would lose over 90% of their rep while the harder working posters who id babes and post links in the find your favourite babe and watch that video threads will have a higher rep tally to reflect their work.

There's one problem with the ID part of this Digital.Most of the people looking for ID's is new and have no rep to give.Also how can you just give rep in one section of the board.I post links of pictures and clips and also ID babes for people but expect no rep for it either.

Now rep is given in my book for if you like a post,it doesn't have to contain a link for pictures or clips.It doesn't have to be for ID'ing some babe,although can be given for this.It can be given for posting a great funny picture or clip that brightend up your day.Or for a post that has really been thought out and well put in the talk section.

This is what rep is all about been a good contributing to the board.No matter what section it is in.:2 cents:

You can rep the person who did the ID just for the fact that he ID'd the babe or because it might have been a difficult one to ID or rep the person who was asking.If they are new you can rep them and welcome them to Freeones or because it might be one of your favourite babes or a set you have never seen before.Also i have seen loads of regular posters asking for ID's so they have rep to give out.

I never said just the one section of the board just the sections relating to porn like watch that video, ID's or find your favourite babe.

Sorry Digital but thats how your first post reads.But like I say it should be given out for good posts in general,not just for certain things.If you like the post then rep it thats my motto.

Like i said first and foremost this is a PORN messageboard and some people have way too much rep and they never even post in the porn sections.I'm not including you in that because you make a good contribution and fully deserve your rep.

No, if you read my first post i mention 4 sections.

First I don't see it as a PORN messageboard,but as a ADULT messageboard.The difference been Porn messageboard you'd only be able to post pictures,clips and things related to Porn.But here is different you can post funny pictures and clips,start a thread up in the talk section about almost anything.Thats why I see it as an Adult messageboard.

Second thanks for the compliment.You also do great work on the board too.But on this matter I think we'll have to agree to disagree.

I don't disagree with that.I just think the rep should be kept for the main sections i already mentioned.
 
poggy1 said:
Oh but we do,I think a good post in the talk section deserves rep as much as one in any other.

Which is why some people's rep is too high.They just don't contribute to other parts of the board and their rep is higher than those who do contribute.

Who knows it might be reset in the New Year?....thats just a guess...I know its getting weird a member can join like myself in Sept and have more rep than a great member like Aces&Jacks and I have more rep than him and I dont think thats right...there are members that have been here so long getting 12 repoints at a time and now a member can get two rep stones at a time...I hear you...the next step might be an option that members can choose how much rep they want to give...like I'm right now at 167 rep...so i can give rep from 1-167...that might be a good option

I've only skimmed this thread, but I think what happened is that before around June '05 rep good or bad was anomymous. Now, it's common for someone you rep to rep you back, so there's a lot of back scratching going on that before didn't exist. In a way, so what? If it keeps the good mood up? I got bad rep only twice. First time I didn't know who at all and for what. The second time, I knew who did it, (di*khe*d), hah! No explaination and just thought he didn't have any clue to my sense of humor.

I'll read all the posts here when I get a chance.
:)
