Considering changing the forum theme too?
How?
How would you define 'legitimate users of this forum' by their use of this function? Is there such a thing as an illegitimate opinion on Argonath forum posts? What would trolling with this system consist of and who are really ''reputable people'' in this community? The ones online enough to get a ''veteran'' status? What kind of consequences will those who give negative rep to someone for no clear reason, where there may be a very good one, face? Will the forum administration actually keep up with everything that's going on in this oh so vivid, multi-platform community to be able to effectively judge what's legitimate and what's ''trolling''?
No, what happens is people are going to look at someone's profile, see they have a low or high reputation and with that, draw some sort of a conclusion about them based on that, depending on who it is and what kind of relation the two in this scenario have. It helps to fuel a very human character trait; prejudice.
I can be the first with -100 :D and be specialDon't worry Monte, you will always be special in my eyes.
How is it not a matter of opinion, though? Should those giving out reputation points look at posts objectively and somehow determine if they're worthy of a point regardless of how they feel about it?
Determining one's credibility using a system like this can be extremely deceiving. That's one lesson the previous 'take' on this system taught us.
Where do I see who voted and why?And what would you do with the people that voted then?
How do I even vote? :rofl:So far there's a heart button on everyone's "profile" on the left of each post.
- For those of you cry babies, you can also hide your reputation publicly.
- This is per post and you need to add a comment to why you are voting that specific way.
- You need to have reputation power to perform reputation actions.
I never chyecked in to the systems since a year or 5 ago, but with the release of SMF 2 there was a system that did not alllow negative reputation, meaning it is only possible to give a positive mark.
While I see such systems more as a popularity contest as a genuine way to see if someone is a valuable contributor, removing the negative will at least keep everyone above 0.
I believe in that case it would defeat the purpose as to why it was added.That seems to be your idea. In reality is is just a way to see if some people are seen as more cridible than others.
It seems like the attempt of a pursuit of consensus for the justification of some modus operandi against certain people whilst the existence of substance for the justification could be lacking (let's just disregard the fact that sometimes some just hate for the sake of hate, or that grudges are genuinely regarded as sound reasoning for persecution).

What do the different color codes mean? Some people have blue, red etcIf you hover over it, it tells you, for example everyone can see you are hiding your reputation, green means it is above 0, red means it is below 0. blue? Haven't seen it yet.
That seems to be your idea. In reality is is just a way to see if some people are seen as more cridible than others.That could be the case but perhaps its also evident that people just would still think someone with a bigger e-penis is better all round, and when that person with the biggest e-penis gets a bigger ego, they also then forget humility and such.
No.Agreed, voted no.
I believe people here should form their opinions on others by themselves, not based off of what other people say about them - which is in this case is in the form of positive or negative reputation. Not to mention favoritism/bias, one-upping, so on...
and just be thankful
For?
For popcorn!(http://www.junkmail.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/popcorn-machine.jpg)
Idk why yall still discussing about it, just vote and it will be decided by the majority whether to keep it or not, and if you dont like it just dont use or do anything related to it, dont just complain about anything and just be thankful
For?Rejoice! For his name is Sauron.
No.Also this.

just not to be downvoted by majority.Is it just me, or is there no down vote button? :rolleyes:
Also that might not just stop trolls, but will scare minority to express their own opinion every other day, just not to be downvoted by majority.
No.Since when it's wrong to fucking state your opinion?
