+ Rep

Where is the - Rep?

[iargue]

Can we please find a way to have negative rep? I think that some people may be complete assholes who generally cause problems who will simply continue to rack up good reputation for a guide here or there over time. I don't think that only positive rep is a very telling sign of a persons character nor helpfulness.

Who would that be?

I don't think he's referring to you. While your opinions are a bit absurd you aren't an asshole

This topic is proof enough that rep is generally useless, people will just throw it at people for the heck of it and it makes it hard to see if the person's high rep count is there because they contributed something helpful or if they just got it because people felt like repping them.

Kinda dissagree with uselessness, i think maybe a few pointess reps can be gained (see above lol) but if someones running aroung with nigh on a hundred then there pretty trusted

I think that maybe negitive rep should be controlled better though, ie have a varification firsly?

Well, it's kind of a flawed system, one could be really helpful around the forum, answering questions when they are asked and doing other helpful things around the forum, but could get one or two rep points out of it, and to newer people, that wouldn't be so convincing, so they go talk to the person with 50 some rep for writing a guide on something the person doesn't need help with.

Pfft. The Admins can -rep you! XD
