Reputation take 2

[Toreto]

at least negative vote should be removed.
only ( +1 ) will be nice, as if there is something helpful you can vote "+"
if its not just leave it.

What do the different color codes mean? Some people have blue, red etc

If 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.
If it were possible to see every up-vote a person got and why for the public then maybe they can make the informed decision on who is credible and who isn't without delving into the school ground "he's a cunt, a bad girl, fuck dat, I do dis.

Donald Trump is getting all the votes with the Latinos, with the blacks, etc etc, but when it comes down to it, he has no strategy, he has no real plan, it's just one of fear mongering, hatred on others, and "we're great aren't we?" "we have a good time huh?". Argonath could build the best wall with the best new immigration policies but that doesn't necessarily mean it will work. The fact that even if a third of people from the result of the poll do not find the idea as one of positive, a third is still a powerful part. Total consensus or see bust.

A person could pay a pretty penny to quickly become Argonaths' most reputable person. Means jack shit when it comes to the real world where its reliant on the actual substance and not a few charts on the persons credibility.

Argonath does not need cliques and pursuit of controversial things just to raise attention of people, this reputation system was avoided before because of the knowledge of the rampant abuse that could come from it. At-least people will be above 0, yes, but inflation and deflation of the value of $1 could perhaps be significant? no? Someone has 10000 rep points because he is good at drawing stuff and thus he becomes a genius over night and the peoples tzar when he posts in a topic like this.

Personally not against encouraging people to feel good about themselves but when it means you risk making others feel down then its not worth it, unless it is VIP members club and not a Community.

Read what Eymas said. People will be quick to not focus on the substance and just get caught in politics.

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

[Killanic]

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...

Agreed, voted no.

[Norrage]

and just be thankful

Oh heavenly Sauron for art thou in Middle Earth...
Sometimes discussion may be too much for some but some are constantly looking to learn and discuss. It's what communities do dude. When it becomes petty and people point scoring against each other, then there are issues. But once again, Oh heavenly Sauron for art thou in Middle Earth. Keep us on the right path. The holy path. The path of the elvish and not the orcs. The path from where the great legends once wondered.

For?

Rejoice! For his name is Sauron.

No.

Also this.

I believe the users' actions reflect his/her reputation, not a number. Based on that, I voted for the removal of such a system entirely.

[spn1725]

No.

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.

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.

[Mikal]

just not to be downvoted by majority.

Is it just me, or is there no down vote button?

Yeah exactly, like I said, a new dimension to ''freedom of speech''.

Since when it's wrong to fucking state your opinion?
