Is it time to kick the rep system to the curb?

[|Zach|]

Lend me your ears brothers and sisters of Chiefs Planet...

I am proposing something wild. Something dangerous. What I am going to say maybe offensive; some would call it blashpemy. It is a distinct possibility that my life may be in danger after making this thread but I will live with the consequences. What comes from this will be my burden to bear.

Let's expell the "rep system" from our beloved community. At first it was new and interesting. But now it is a breeding ground for dumbassery and a cause for the whiny posters to whine until thier whining glands can whine no more. It deals in a currency that is more worthless than a Bob "The Hammer" Hamlin baseball card.

Sure there were good times and good threads made from it...but those times have passed.

It is often stated that Chiefs Planet is a community run site and the will of the people can be heard through polls. Our fearless leader Phobia has come out in support of dropping the system and I know there are others who are afraid to speak out who feel the same way. Do not fear the mongoloids who hold rep dear to thier hearts and need it for validation. Do not fear those who actually see it as an online weapon. Do not fear those who take it seriously!

Stand up with me and demand rep be banished from the land!

If its good for ZachKC and Phobia, its good for me. I fully stand behind them in support of a greater Chiefsplanet!

[Mr. Kotter]

If you have a problem with it, turn it off....I've debated that myself.

However, as Brian has pointed out...it's useful in terms of sending a quick message of agreement/approval or disagreement/disapproval without cloggin up the main thread...what's the harm?

You don't like it? Shut it off.... :shrug:

JMHO.

Heh, if you support the system just vote "No"

Furthermore, there is no way to really "turn it off" you can make it so your bars are not shown though.

My main point is that it creates really dumb threads and situations in CP that make for our board to look more petty and childish than it actually is. Heh, and thats saying something.

This is a poll looking at the big picture!

[jarjar]

Well, I'm new here, but if my opinion counts I think the rep system is kind of silly. It's a popularity system, and like most of them it penalizes unpopular viewpoints which is the opposite of what you want when trying to stir up debate.

edit: +rep for op. lol!

[|Zach|]

but if my opinion counts
Indeed it does sir...

[htismaqe]

I don't know if this is relevant or not, but...

The rep system has data that is stored for it, particularly the comments. I wonder if purging it would improve system performance?

I just thought about adding that to my plea...I don't know for sure but...

When this was talked about in the past it seemed like the consensus from knowledgable posters was it would have a good effect but it wouldn't be as big of an effect as some think.

[ChiTown]

I voted yes, because I'm assuming it will upgrade the posts on this place once the rep system is gone. I think there are many posters more concerned about their rep points vs. their actual contribution to the bb. If I remember correctly, this is a football bb. Correct? I can't remember anymore.......................

Yes, Chi put it better than I did.

I agree.

[chiefs4me]

I don't mind the rep system at all....turn yours off for awhile like I did mine if you can't handle it. Some days with nothing else to do.....except wait and hope for the chiefs to do something, the rep provides amusement.......it is so much eaiser to send someone some rep with a little note instead of writing a pm if you liked or didn't like what they said.

I feel the ones who don't like the rep system should not click on rep threads and turn theirs off....:harumph:

[Mr. Kotter]

"ROFL REP!"

yep! ROFL

If the system restrains certain posters from being really stupid in their posting though, is that a bad thing? :shrug:

It doesn't always work with all of us, but I suspect some would be less "restrained"....and that could be even more ugly. :hmmm:

Except for the occasional "rep" thread, which are pretty minimal except by noobs....I don't agree it would be any better without it; as I've said, some posters would be less 'restrained' than they are....think about that. :hmmm:

Eh, the is the first bb I've been a part of that has a rep system. It's kind of interesting but, it's new to me and I've just started using it. I see little harm in it. You can't turn off the system but you can turn off the display. What does it hurt?

I was having fun with it while it lasted. I knew eventually it would all be taken away. The rep system itself is flawed, thats why I was able to do what I did. I find the whole system kind of stupid and foolish, therefore fun to exploit.

Indeed.

[jspchief]

I like the rep system.

I like being able to acknowledge someone when they make a witty remark, and I like the affirmation when I make one.

We could still give people their props via posts/smileys, but I think that would be a bigger detriment to the board than the occasional stupid rep thread. Threads get cluttered enough with spam without having 5 "rep posts" after every funny remark (I know it already happens, but it's on a small scale).

If someone can enlighten me on all this dumbassery (maybe Imissed it last week while I was gone), I'd be willing listen. As it stands, all I see is the occasional noob post about it, the occasioinal late night mod-abuse of it, and Chiefs4me's retarded obsession with it.

If we want to clean up dumbassery on the Planet, I suggest banning the dopes that offer nothing but dumbassery.

Meh, I think the system is cool. I don't see all the harm it supposedly brings according to Zach. I like being able to give somebody rep for a good post and neg rep (rarely) for a really dumb post. It's a good system, and the rep fights rarely happen. They are like airplane crashes, 1 in a million crashes but when it does - it's huge, people become scared of flying, etc. My point is - I'm voting for the rep staying.

If you think this is a serious thread about real life

All you can do is put words in my mouth to try and make a point that isn't even there, but I wasn't expecting anything esle from you.

This thread is serious as far as this forum goes and it isn't a place for your retarded "games". We all know you are the one who gives the most shit about rep on this whole board, to you it's a game (that you evidently care a lot about), to us it's a good way to commend good post and leave negative feedback if the posts are of bad quality.

[keg in kc]

Without the rep sysptem, we'd lose the sort of quality discussion that permeates this thread.

[Saulbadguy]

Why is it that almost every single thread chiefs4me posts on becomes a pissing match that's all about her?

Seriously ... I've seen it happen far too often in the last few weeks for it to be just a random thing.

MM
~~:shake:
:shrug: She's just a compulsive liar. Either that, or I gave her too much credit after I said she had "figured it out."

I've come to the conclusion that if you challenge her view point, its because you either want to kill her, or **** her. :shake:

[Kyle401]

Seriosuly, go from the start of this thread and read her posts...its amazing.
I say if we get rid of anything, get rid of this :harumph: smilie. It's been used far too often in this thread (but it does suit her).

I've come to the conclusion that if you challenge her view point, its because you either want to kill her, or **** her.I believe the clinical psychological term for that is "female".

because they don't want me saying anything......I am not supposed to have opinions.....just sit back and read and don't speak.......Well not in this world or my lifetime. If I got something to say I am gonna say it.....and no stupid little boys are gonna tell me different.........you could always put me on ignore...but then you would have nothing to bitch about......ROFL

[Rain Man]

If the rep system is abolished, I will kill myself and take as many of you with me as possible.

And just as a warning, I voted to abolish it.

Can sombody explain just how the rep points work I have exactly the same number of bad rep that I have good rep but I am In the hole 2 red squares dosent make sense. Does bad rep count more than good rep?

[teedubya]

Heh, if you support the system just vote "No"

Furthermore, there is no way to really "turn it off" you can make it so your bars are not shown though.

My main point is that it creates really dumb threads and situations in CP that make for our board to look more petty and childish than it actually is. Heh, and thats saying something.

This is a poll looking at the big picture!

Yeah, as petty and childish as say... "Im leaving forever" threads

heh.

actually, I meant the "I am Done" threads...

I know there are others who are afraid to speak out who feel the same way. Do not fear the mongoloids who hold rep dear to thier hearts and need it for validation. Do not fear those who actually see it as an online weapon. Do not fears those who take it seriously!

Stand up with me and demand rep be banished from the land!


Just last night I was watching some of The Breakfast Club again and I was thinking to myself how much The Planet mirrors the characters.Oh I'm sure most if not all messageboards are the same,however,CP is where I spend the majority of my net time and is easily the most involved I've ever become in an online community.

Personally,I think having our Brian Johnsons' ;) our Benders and jocks etc is what makes the place so enjoyable.As for Kotter's response about the rep system keeping people from making dumbass comments,I disagree,lord knows I've made plenty myself and those little boxes have never been a deterrent to that.

I could go on and get real serious about how the events of these last few days have caused me to take a step back and take a look at what is really important in life but I'll just say popularity contests and bickering over what and what shouldn't be posted on a public messageboard is nowhere near the top of the list.

That said if "kicking the rep system to the curb" is best for The Planet as a whole,i.e. bringing back the search feature,helping with overall performance,etc etc then I'm all for it.

As for people being afraid to speak out against or people using the rep system as a weapon all I can say is wow,I never realized people could take that so seriously and apparently I'm not as involved in this community as I thought.

As for people being afraid to speak out against or people using the rep system as a weapon all I can say is wow,I never realized people could take that so seriously and apparently I'm not as involved in this community as I thought.

Well I just figured out what rep was in the past week or so. At first I thought it was a neat feature and envisioned myself quickly rising up the rep ranks, then I found myself disagreeing with someone and got some negative rep. For a brief period everytime I was considering making a post I wondered how it would affect my rep, sometimes trying to find the right words to say something made me just give up and go do something else instead. Now I'm at the stage where I just don't care, and I know firsthand that rep can have a negative influence on poster behavior.

Here is one of my experiences with rep.

I voted yes, because I'm assuming it will upgrade the posts on this place once the rep system is gone. I think there are many posters more concerned about their rep points vs. their actual contribution to the bb. If I remember correctly, this is a football bb. Correct? I can't remember anymore.......................


I agreed with that quote by Chitown, found it insightful actually. Then I saw this response:

Neg rep for the whiny bitch from the windy city ...

Well the certainly wasn't constructive. I figured this is the type of thing the rep system is designed for? I used it accordingly and neg reped that post.

Then I find myself neg reped by the same Mark M with the comment:
An eye for an eye, ya whiny prick. nlm

sheesh. Is this the type of cliqueish crap that rep inspires? Really? Gotta wonder what the hell it's accomplishing.

[Saulbadguy]

There is a simple solution to this, that I just thought of, that may appease everyone. Open your ears, and listen closely.

From what i've heard, noone really cares about the "rep points" they have. They appreciate the comments outside of the thread, though. Phil could modify the amount of power rep has to 0, so any rep given or received would be worthless, but you could still leave people comments. At least, I "think" this can be done.

How does that sound?

Yeah I'm getting used to it, but I'm willing to bet my response would be common amongst new faces, I'd almost bet the majority of new posters would go through something like that.

MM and Chi are long time posters, they were probably just kidding amongst each other. Nobody takes rep seriously around here, save a few people. Besides, MM and Chi have 10's of thousands of rep points, 20 points isn't going to affect them.

[Mark M]

sheesh. Is this the type of cliqueish crap that rep inspires?
Pretty much.

And, for the record, 99.99% of the time, when someone includes a nlm or other smilie, it means they're joking.

Since your rep is disabled, I gave ya some negative as fun. If it were on, I would never have done such a thing.

Gotta wonder what the hell it's accomplishing.

It would be nice, however, to keep the messaging system of it intact so I can throw out a ROFL or :shake: without cluttering up threads with just a smilie.

I think the only issue I have with it is that it gives pu**ies like Taco Con a place to drop hatefull shit and not have the burden of everyone seeing it. I just ignore his crap, but some create whole threads about it and, as we've seen in the past, people have even used the rep system to level threats that they would never have posted to the whole group.

Just can it. The more I think about it the more I think of the high school student council. Nothing but a useless exercise in deciding who the four most popular kids in school are.

I like the Rep System. It allows simple minds to see who is "really" worth paying attention to, just by looking at their green boxes.
You can't be serious? It's not a way to find people with valid points, it's a way to find people who have aligned themelves with a large enough group willing to throw rep at eachother.

No it's not. People don't just give you neg rep for not agreeing with them. When you see a troll with a line of red boxes you know what to expect from him/her. Naturally, sometimes people pile on on those who care too much about rep and have fun with them, those cases are rare and pretty funny.

While that may be true with neg rep in general, it's not true with positive rep. There are groups of people that will stick together on most issues and rep eachother for no good reason.

Hell, *I* started a "Riddles for Rep" thread one Fri. or Sat. night, probably over a year ago. The rep was flying for a couple of hours, did that help anyone learn who the good posters were?

If everyone agreed to use it in the same way for the same reasons, and if neg rep was used as often as pos rep then your case would be accurate. However, I think we can all agree that getting the posters on this board to do anything is like herding blind, retarded, three-legged cats.

[Chief_Justice]

Well yea I do....but I feel that the comments posters leave you on rep is private. At least when I give someone a comment I hope it stays private.

chiefs4me:


After reading through most of this thread, I have just two questions:


1. You say comments posters leave you on rep should remain private, yet you had know problem openly stating some of the rep comments 'Saulbadguy' gave you? Interesting.

So, in essence, rep comments should reamin private in less they help promote your agenda?


2. Are you Denise?





That is all.

[jspchief]

I can't believe people actually put some sort of value in the green/red boxes. It never occured to me that it would be a good indication of the quality of someone's post.

I simply use the rep function to dole out recognition for posts I like, and to receive recognition from others for my posts that they like.

If you think that it's a high school clique thing, then the flaw is not in the function, but rather in the power you assign to it.

I think it was something along the lines of 60% or 2/3rds, IRCC. I could be wrong though... :hmmm:
Can you think of an example where it has gone by that? I have always seen Phil talk about a majority. Like you, I could be wrong. I just can't recall 2\3rds or 6-% being thrown out there.

[Raiderhater]

I like the rep system.

I like being able to acknowledge someone when they make a witty remark, and I like the affirmation when I make one.

We could still give people their props via posts/smileys, but I think that would be a bigger detriment to the board than the occasional stupid rep thread. Threads get cluttered enough with spam without having 5 "rep posts" after every funny remark (I know it already happens, but it's on a small scale).

If someone can enlighten me on all this dumbassery (maybe Imissed it last week while I was gone), I'd be willing listen. As it stands, all I see is the occasional noob post about it, the occasioinal late night mod-abuse of it, and Chiefs4me's retarded obsession with it.

If we want to clean up dumbassery on the Planet, I suggest banning the dopes that offer nothing but dumbassery.


REP! :D We have a winner....

If the dumbassery argument is the strongest argument, it is a weak one. Truth of the matter is that a dumb ass will act like a dumb ass, with or with out rep. If you take that away from him/her, they will just find another way to showcase their dumbassery.

Leave it or get rid of it, I do not really care*, but let us not pretend that getting rid of it, or keeping it for that matter, is going to be some kind of cure for the idiocy and whining that takes place here.


*With the search function being down, I will say that I like having the rep system enabled as it offers one more avenue to search for threads from the past. That is my strongest argument for keeping it.
