Thumbs Rep System

That's your opinion mate and you could be as right as I'm wrong. It's a perception thing.

For my money's worth I've been on here since day one so I've watched it grow. There's been the usual spats and kick offs as I presume you get in most forums and I've been a tit as much as anyone in them sadly.

The people who run the site and mod it for the most part have known each other for over eight years and been of the general same sound disposition. There would be no issues in an older poster being banned or pulled right in if they had been nasty or cruel to a new poster. And is right, I wouldn't post here if it was otherwise.

It doesn't matter how long you've posted here or how many green or red bars or rep points or title or whatever sh*t you've got under your name. People have always been judged on how sound they post. Even if someone has the complete opposite opinion you could have a decent debate without it turning ugly.

The old rep system helped that. People would come on here and post and get points and they would genuinely like it. I used to do it a lot with sound new posters to encourage them to settle in and post more.

Coach above has a good point about why do we need anything? But it's generally been a good system in rewarding someone who posts sound and punishing someone who just wants to argue and cause trouble.

Sorry to hear of your experience mate. I think with a few tweaks then the old system would suit better.

I hate myself for writing this on a f*cking forurm. I need a life. But I also want to see the place do well as I know those who run it. The rep system was a good system for keeping the atmosphere sound.

Again, in my opinion.

I think if the admin Exposed who voted for the old rep system it would be majority old forum members/forum supporters. I truely believe that.

I also disagree with the rep system being completely about how you post. It's not. It gets personal, it has been personal and I've been on the recieving end of it. I don't think you've walked at -38000 points like me. To me even if I had talked crap. Having a neg rep of that amount isnt a showing on the quality of my posting.

You say there wouldn't be a problem with older posters getting banned but Stend reckons he was being negged 5000 points at a time so that poster must of been a older poster , do we know if that person or persons have been banned .

Just asking like .

Well chico, nik, davek, tubey etc are all old posters and have been bammed for two weeks. And ghost, damon and lineker among others have been banned for ever.

So it's not like once you keep posting for a year for become immune.

It was purposely put out in the main forum where every could vote mate, to prevent it being just upgraded members. So we can only take it at face value.

With all due respect mate you can come across as a bit abrasive when anyone disagrees with you. Again respectfully. I'm not saying you should have received that level of neg points.

No, it's fair to ask. I suppose it would depend. Neg repping someone isn't something wrong within itself so if someone disagreed a lot with his posts and left a neg rep and they have a lot of points then there's no wrong.

That's why I think the points system should be scrapped and you should only be allowed to give one positive or negative point only.

Thing is Chico I'm relatively new by comparison and my view is the complete opposite all I saw pre the system change were people going at it. Frequently groups against someone offering a different opinion and the rep system allowed it to go on behind the main board anonymously - just crap that.

My view is whenever there's the opportunity someone will take it and that's the top and bottom. I really don't see what the old system gives this new system doesn't as I said earlier when people were dishing it out they were all "it's only green and red dots" now they're gone it's a different matter - why is it different now?

Here's the problem. No that poster isn't banned and we all know who he is. We fell out in a debate over Mancini, since then I was just bombed by him and his mates. There was somebody else negging me 1000 at a time.Not sure who.

I haven't been here a year yet.. I have rarely given neg rep, I think I negged you once stend for saying Moyes should be on the board at Everton..
May not have been you.. But if anyone said that, I would neg them, whatever their member status.

If we are really honest with ourselves, we all need to get a life

"What did you do today mate?"

"Posted on a forum about reputation, you?"

So you agree that I was being neg repped for being abrasive not the quality of my posts? So there we have it then. It's a personal thing and that's why I don't agree with it.

If people are being abrasive isn't that for the mods to sort out?
