It's no secret that this place is fucking dead. If you check the new posts it's always some new user posting some shit no one cares about to reach the post count required to unlock some subforum (don't take this personal, new guy who is currently doing this, I think you are cool).

 

If the NeoCodex staff decides to adopt my suggestion, these days would soon be over.

 

The idea is simple:

 

Negative Reputation

 

As some of you may know, I have been pushing this idea for years. It is long overduefor -rep to make a glorious reappearance and save neocodex from obsolescence

 

FAQ:

 

Q: What is negative reputation?

A: You know that green arrow on the bottom right corner of your posts, imagine that, but pointing the other way and in red.

 

Q: Do you really think this is a good idea?

A: Yes.

 

Q: I'm sold, where do I sign?

A: I recommend spamming active staff members with private messages, or replying to any post you see requesting this feature.

 

Q: Wow, this post is super lazy and dumb, why did you even bother?

A: Lazy? Maybe. Dumb? Probably. But the time has come for us to become the change we want to see in this website, and the change I want to see is red arrows on the bottom right corner of every single post.

I want negative rep just to negative rep your post about negative rep.

[Drakonid]

So you agree that we need negative reputation. Good!

[Adam]

I approve of this message.

 

 

This message has been bought and paid for by various politicians and companies, mimicking the ex-presidency of the cheeto with hair.

Neg rep now enabled on his post only. 
 

(if I could figure out how)

 

trading post requirement raised to 25, all newbies posts subject to approval, because this shit is pissing me off.

(That’s partly a joke).

 

anyone spam messaging me will be subject to my huge album of naked anime husbandos and yaoi. (Not a joke)

I did this.

 

This is me.

I'm okay with this, baby steps. People need to get used to the concept.

You can just say you agree with me, no need to entice us to spam your PMs.

My main issue is people using neg rep as revenge against those they don’t like or because they think a reply to them was insulting when it wasn’t. Then again, if I could find a way to change rep when stuff like that happens, that might work.

 

If you want my huge album of those things, one needs only to ask.

I don't feel the forum is active enough for this to be a problem

I'm good, but I'll let you know if I ever need such material.

I've seen your posts. You're alright, you're actually making and effort.

[ladykatelyn]

I don't see an issue with negative rep. I'm with ya on this

[S3AN]

I, for one, would never do that.

[Fatal]

I agree, there is no harm in trying something new.

Yes indeed, I would never do that as well..

Is it just neocodex that's dead or does no one play neopets anymore either?

Neopets users have been in decline for a while. They really didn't market the site well after the 2000's, and they're behind the times quite a bit with technology. No mobile app, only a few mobile site pages...ect. The mobile games they have done have all been shut down after a bit, so they aren't even keeping those users.

They did try to do NFTs, which was somehow both incredibly cutting edge and incredibly out of touch at the same time

[Maelstra]

Honestly, the new game owners (Netdragon) have been running the site into the ground by ignoring every 'consumer survey' they conduct.

 

 

As far as the OG thread subject; I am in favor of negative reputation, sometimes a consequence is needed; and neg rep is a natural one.

Let's be real ya'll. This board is dead because nobody play neopets anymore -- not because of negative reputation

[Adam]

This is refreshing to see someone understand. We get so many new people around here that are like, "OMG NEOCODEX DEAD, WHY? CUZ BAD SITE?"

 

Have you ever thought that the playerbase for neopets has DWINDLED so much over the years that it is now an incredibly small FRACTION of what it used to be? Imagine getting older and not no-lifing neopets anymore lol.

I'm new but I'm ready to help resurrect the forum! Let's bring the few neopets players to neocodex!!! :}
