Rep

[DaFace]

Not that there's any real need to do anything about it, but it seems like the rep system gets more and more useless as time goes on.

So the question is, should we do something with the rep system, or just let it play out? The obvious options are:

1. Leave it alone. It's great just the way it is.
2. Zero EVERYONE out and lower the point ratios significantly. (Basically, get rid of the inflationary factors and make it so that people accumulate more slowly. The general factors that currently exist [join date and post count] will still matter.)
3. Get rid of it entirely. (I doubt this will win, but I know there are some advocates out there.)

Once again, this is purely out of curiosity to see what people think, so I don't promise to change anything based on the poll. But if one option is an overwhelming winner, I might.


Yes, I technically started a thread about rep, so feel free to send the negs my way if it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. :D

[The Franchise]

How am I supposed to value my existence in this world.....if I don't have over 2,000,000 rep points?

[teedubya]

This is not going to end well for you. :evil:

[Demonpenz]

I print my rep off and put it in a notebook for when I really need a pick me up.

[teedubya]

It's not so much the rep points... it's the rep comments that are the best. When you say something funny, it's like a facebook like. It is rewarded. Rep point value is meaningless IMO

[RealSNR]

Rep is a convenient way to pat somebody on the back for making a great point without sending a private message and being all gay.

In all seriousness, it's used for the comments. Nobody cares about one's own rep score or the rep scores of others. The people who don't like rep can choose to turn the feature off and not participate. It's that simple.

[Fritz88]

Getting rid of it would not be too bad. But I don't see it being a major problem though.

I cry myself to sleep at night thinking of ways to improve my rep and wondering why the Mad Crapper thinks I'm an imbecile.

[DaFace]

It's not so much the rep points... it's the rep comments that are the best. When you say something funny, it's like a facebook like. It is rewarded. Rep point value is meaningless IMO

For what it's worth, I agree. I like having it around for the comments more than the points. I just think it would be more fun if the points weren't so screwy. But I don't really care.

[blaise]

I think it's fine. I've seen boards where it's given anonymously, but I don't like it. If someone neg reps you they don't have to put a name on it.

[Mr. Laz]

zero it ... some people can make or destroy people by themselves. It should be more a collective situation.

I rarely put a comment in when I give rep. I'm not opposed to it, I just never know what to say.

I voted leave it alone, but don't really care one way or another. Almost all the rep I get is positive, and almost all the rep I give is positive.

I guess I'm odd, but I don't even think about rep. I get some and almost never give any. Not because I'm a dick, but rep seems to be the equivalent of saying something clever and running around the room looking for high fives.

Basically, get rid of the inflationary factors and make it so that people accumulate more slowly.

If someone like Dane pos or neg reps you in increases your rep level by a few thousand points. If someone fairly new reps you it makes it go up or down like 5 points.

[DaFace]

Basically, get rid of the inflationary factors and make it so that people accumulate more slowly.

Currently, the equation for rep power is:

(days since joining/14) + (total posts/100) + (current rep points/150)

So, we'd take care of the last one by zeroing everyone out and increase the numbers on the other two so that people take longer to accumulate points. But there would still be a benefit to being around for a long time and posting in terms of rep power.

[Jenson71]

If someone like Dane pos or neg reps you in increases your rep level by a few thousand points. If someone fairly new reps you it makes it go up or down like 5 points.

Even if Dane neg reps you, it becomes a pos rep because just the act of his condescension by communicating with us is a great honor.

Cool.

Overall though, I think rep systems generally fail. Usually a dumb girl with nice tits gets a bunch of rep on, or a bunch of friends just trade rep, and it becomes pretty useless fast. Not saying this happens here, as I really haven't been here long enough to know, but I know it does on other boards.

[Zaiko]

My guess is that you said something positive about Herm at some point.

Hell no. The only thing positive about Herm is the pretty hot babe on ESPN he sometimes stands next to. Don't know her name though.

If you don't know that rep means nothing around here, just remember that outside of Austin and Phil, I've been number 1 for like a year. What the fuck do I bring to this board besides a snide joke every once in a while? Rep means shit. But as long as people take it seriously, it's funny as hell.

College kids pulling a prank that went severely wrong because the prankee was emotionally unstable.

The self-inflicted death of the young man is a tragedy. It would serve no good purpose to society to compound that tragedy by ruining the lives of two more young people with prison time when they have already been, and will continue to be, subjected to a much more severe punishment from the highest of courts: the court of public opinion. Additonally these two young students will suffer the consequences of potentially having to leave their school, one of the finest schools in the nation.

The guilt and sorrow these two young scholars will carry with them as a result of the young man's decision to kill himself will exceed 5 years, in fact they are already carrying a life sentence.

Dude, that's best part about rep!

Especially during a bye week,

[FlaChief58]

I don't even understand what the point system is for. Whats the point(no pun intended) of it?

The rep comments are a must keep though.

This :clap:

Rep is a great off season play toy. Leave it be.

Rep is ghey

Rep. shouldn't be changed because I have a lot of it, and fuck those who don't.

I am quoting this post because I agree with it in it's entirety...

Gotta have it to keep the stoopit n00bs in line.

I run a board of over a 1,000 members, no rep. We use "poster intimidation" to keep the noobs in line.

[Reerun_KC]

I like rep because it causes fights.

This, and the comments are usually funny as hell.. I love reading them.

Watching people complain, then get dog piled on it funny as well. Its pretty interesting.

Yeah but, the only posters that can pull that off here are Fraz and Bug and those guys are too busy shootin fridges and having gay sex to keep the n00bs in line.

Welp, looks like the status quo wins. I'm surprised that so many would get rid of it though. It's pretty good useless entertainment, IMO.

And now back to your regularly scheduled programming...

You're a jerk for starting this thread. you know how important rep is. lol

[Iowanian]

Either get rid of it, or do something to make it less of a circle jerk.


My proposal would be to make it like currency. There are only 1,000,000 points total....if you give some, it costs you some and that would cut back on the circle jerks that put dipshits in the highest end.

I think it would be kind of fun to unify rep and casino cash so that people could wager rep and stuff like that, but I don't know how it would work without screwing a ton of stuff up.

[ChiTown]

Seriously? ROFL

I don't use rep for anything other than to let someone know if I liked what they posted (via a comment). Beyond that, it's sophomoric and for circle jerking your little CP buddies.

[Rain Man]

Another easy solution (I think) to rep inflation would be to set up something that multiplies everyone's rep count by 0.95 each day. That way, if you aren't consistently contributing, your rep withers, but you can still get a lot if you are a repartee machine.

Could you at least change or update the greenbar status? Looks like there is quite of few posters who were apart of the Phobia rep heist.

Could I? Sure. But I just did 6 months ago, and the aforementioned rep inflation makes it a futile effort. Everyone will be through the roof again in a few months.

[Boise_Chief]

I really don't care about rep, but the tags that accompany the different levels make me laugh sometimes.... except the one I'm on now.

Yeah, between incidents of asking people about fixing furnaces, when we don't have the inclination to get off our asses and figure out the problem.

Maybe you could just change the top one to "You're the rep equivalent of the Weimar Republic".

Rep to Bosschief for getting me off the "homoerotic ROR" tag.

Perhaps, in lieu of rep, Planeteers could instead purchase the services of $5000 an hour Las Vegas prostitutes for posters who write poems and produce Draftabulator movies and things.

This weekend work for you guys? I don't really have time during the week to do that.

I'll start on it tomorrow night.

Now that I have your attention, can someone please explain why its called "Arrowwood Lounge"?ask our quarterback, Matt Hasselback...

If you're going to go to that trouble, get rid of the points altogether - but keep the comments.

I can't believe that adult human beings are this worked up over rep points.

"ooh, not fair, Dane neg repped me."

Embarassing.yeah, but ohhhh sooo fun to dogpile on those starting those threads before they end up leaving forever, which is what we usually wanted in the first place...stoopid antifreeze drinking dickshits shouldn't be allowed to post here.

ROFLROFLROFLROFL Wut?!?!?

that was Flopnuts addition to the tags, in your honor. iirc.

CP history, my friend, CP history!!!

[Zaiko]

I primarily think of it as a douchebag signal. If someone's bright red, it's a good indicator that you should be wary of their opinion a bit.

Other than that, it's mostly just for the comments IMO. And for the entertainment when someone gets pissy about it.

Woo as of right now I'm a douchebag!!

I'd like to see the correlations for this poll--if there are any--when it's over. Is there a positive relationship between rep and one's satisfaction with the current system? Do people who turn off their rep vote; if so, is there a relationship between turning it off and wanting to get rid of it completely? But, then again, I'm kind of a nerd for social stats.

[Gadzooks]

Phobia never told me about the rep heist. :shrug:
High five anyone... anyone?:)

The Great Rep Heist was in 2008, and oddly enough, Phobia had nothing to do with it.

[Psyko Tek]

Leave it alone. It's fine.

Contrary to the numerous threads about DaneMcCloud and rep, I give out far more positive rep than negative rep and I think I've only bombed a few n00bs into red.

Quite honestly, it's too much work to "Rep Bomb". I just don't have that many nice things to say in order to neg rep someone into the red.

:D
