Hi All,

With regret, I've disabled the reputation system.

Unfortunately, despite best efforts to minimise potential abuse (Negative Rep prompting a moderator alert) - we have had a handful of absolute idiots abusing the system. Those idiots will shortly find themselves permanently banned for being malicious, misrepresenting our community and wasting our time.

The reputation system will be revamped and back shortly.
 

Never saw the need to provide a facility that was always open to abuse not all posters want to indulge in the chit chat beyond subjects Everton and that doesn't mean they should be attacked - unfortunately this happens.

I've commented on this before and for every anonymous snide remark I get as a result I get a signed "well said" comment from those equally as mystified by the whole business.

My proposal would be a no comment green points allocation only to show your love there is not a single reason to surreptitiously be negative to a fellow evertonian, not a one.

If people don't agree with opinion that's what the main board is for - debate within the rules (actually it's the same even if you agree).

For those whom popularity is important they can have a massive green line under their name and for those who aren't arsed in the slightest stalking will cease.

This site will be 1000% better if people can't get round the rules of decency and respect.

Suspecting this won't happen and in the event of some kind of "negative" system being re-introduced - anonymity absolutely encourages the snide and bad feeling and shouldn't be allowed.

An instantaneous report button as per the main board would be a necessity - I could never report my stalkers beyond sending PMs and emails and after a while you can't be arsed.

Great day for the site entirety not just the few.
Great post. 100% agree.

Which bits don't you agree with?

Mainly the fact that he keep going on about stalking. I mean really. Paranoid or what?!

Then he goes on about PMing people. If I showed you all the PM that particular poster sent me once, then i'm failry sure you would change your mind.

The poster clearly takes red dots to heart, even though they are just that. Red dots. I find it hard to beleive people have a hard time over them. It's not abusing posters either, it's a way of saying you don't agree without the need to type out why.

May I ask you why you agree with it so much?

That's OK mate.

It's all just opinions at the end of the day.

Really it's not up to us what stays and what goes.

Sadly not. I miss logging in to see who left me a funny rep message :( I only got back ability to rep people more than 5 points the other day and then taken from me!!!

Neg repping shouldn't have been used if you didnt agree with someone's opinion and couldn't be arsed to type out why.

I can see why people got irrated if they had red dots under their name, it stood out more than their name so a lot of people would make up their mind about the post before actually reading it.
