View Full Version : Red Rep?
I have seen some people with a red Rep bar. What is this? bad rep?
Indeed. It's for naughty/evil members!
I see said the blind man, to his deaf daughter on the corner of the round table over the broken telephone.
If its a full red bar i wouldn't take too much notice of it, some thought it looked cool so "fixed" their rep to get a red bar.
1 or 2 pips and its probably actual neg rep.

So if red is bad and green is good, whats grey? http://a.imageshack.us/img227/3796/capturekj.jpg Had that a couple of weeks back now and was never sure what it is? neutral? But then there is no neutral on the rep system
Means they have no rep to give.
Thanks! I had my special signature artist create it today!

Rep power is of no interest to me, which is why I wasn't bothered when my green bar turned red a while ago.
The rep bar changes as often as the direction of the wind with some people.
Its misused on this forum allot.... I know ill get -1 for that but im not bothered anymore...

Usually those who hand out negative rep have a very low rep themselves. So the score makes little or no difference. It's only if you make a crassly stupid remark that a higher repped person may rep you down that it matters.
I don't personally think its misused as such as the scores do seem to reflect correctly on the members as far as I can see.

15-08-10, 16:44
yeah I've had a few bad reps from people who have had no need to neg rep
and add little or nothing to the community themselves
these people have almost always had 0 rep themselves
because the rep system is anonymous its become a last sly dig for people who are not smart enough to say something of substance on the public board
It only takes a quick PM to a mod/admin and we can let you know who was gutless enough to leave it. Just so you know, mods/admins can see who left rep for what and can deal with it appropriately.
Didn't know Mods can see rep too, I knew admins could because DT pm'd me a whiloe back about it during our discussions

If the price of having opinions and values and sticking to them is a little red line then so be it.
Im emailing him again right now... I wonder what colour it will go then..
SENTY, i highly doubt the moderators would have a personal attack at you - surely you must have broken the forum rules?

I agree, People get to such a high status they are untouchable then set about battering anyone with less than 50 down to zero if they happen to prefer a different make to them. Its a stupid system that rewards negative behaviour.
I never thought id say something good about facebook but its a weird day, The way you can like something on facebook but not hate or dislike it is good and keeps everything posative.
There just is no need for that system, just because you have been here ages doesnt make your opinion better or worse than someone first post.

I know the iphone sex comment was funny, but 66?? That is a big jump for one "off the cuff" comment.
I suppose I should feel lucky that neg rep has been switched off, or all the iphone users would have me on a negative 1,000,000,000,000!!!
But, as I said, it doesnt really bother me what my rep is, as long as I get thanked after helping someone with some good advice; or making someone laugh with a good (or very bad), joke.

erm I wasn't suggesting it for that for that reason it was for the total opposite in fact
new members who have added nothing just randomly neg reping people
who are clearly giving the best advice they can and getting neg for it
I very much doubt people with high rep are going round bullying new members to zero rep, that's just silly

EDIT: i +1d you

I don't understand why people are giving him rep myself either and I have to say I am rapidly losing interest in these forums due to the idiots like him
I do think the whole rep thing has become rather meaningless. However the thanks system which is in place works really well and is a mark of a good contributing member.
Everyone has a fair chance of posting, I too find certain members post irritate me however I do not have the luxury of being able to ignore. Do use the ignore feature, it may help stress levels.

that's not possible with the rep system, it is possible with the thanks system. I'm not sure what will happen to thanks when we upgrade to vbulletin4 though, not all plugins are transferrable.

You know why you were negative repped by me - I give good reasons when I do it and always leave my name. The other rep that was given to you had a power of zero, so made no difference. Essentially you just abused the good nature of Snakedoc.
Am i right in thinking that negative rep doesn't appear in the user CP?
No, I don't think so - you should be able to see all rep, just not who left it.

So we remove negative rep and then we get requests to abuse the system positively - ironic really .....

Abusing +ve rep does make a mockery of it, no idea who has actually earned it and who has been spammed to lots of green pips.

I think I agree with this ^
I've neg repped, only twice, when I thought people have made a unworthy/rude contribution to the forum, I would hope it acted as a deterrent to the user making similar future posts.

That may stop the immature abuse of the system.

why not other forums don't allow negs and there rep system works fine
just a few on here that spoil it
if you like a answer to a question or post rep+
if you don't like a post remember its a free forum all advice is at your own risk and people make mistakes in every field even the admins mods and staff are only human
if someone is being rude or abusive or giving damaging advice flag the post
for a mod
personally i think once everyone forgets about the changes been made
things will settle and the rep system will be better used
shame but it was a good idea

soon, you'll get a few hours of downtime at most while DNS updates.

+1, for once, I'll actually put my opinion out into the open. I think negative rep will always cause problems, we disabled it on teamphoenixrinsing.net a long time ago for exactly the reason it has been on here. Myself and coiler having massive negative rep was in a way to show that it really doesn't mean a huge lot. Users are given equal standing, there should be no favourite users for mods and admins, that in my opinion is too close to a dicatatorship, not a community.
The thanks system is so popular because as someone else said somewhere, it is positive only. Like facebook there's a like, no dislike.
Positivity, if you can't be nice to a fellow human and offer compliments, should you be vocal at all. I am reminded of a Chris Evans radio show discussion when getting your hair cut - when shown the back does anyone ever say anything other than "nice, thanks"?
DT.
If your removing -ve rep then you might as well get rid of rep alltogether. Thanks is more straightforward but you do lose the ability to comment on a post. Guess you can just quote it saying why it's a good post.
Having said that, I've had a few bits of good feedback I probably wouldn't have had if it was just thanks. Anonymity can encourage positive comments because you can't be accused of sucking up.
At the end of the day though I think thanks and rep add very little to a forum in comparison to the actual posts!
I think the whole rep system should go.
The way it doesnt tell you about good or bed posting and the misuse of it makes it totally pointless.
the only way ive seen this dealth with well is with the star rating for each thread on the EA forums, ther is a rate this thread drop down dialog on the thread 1st post and you cna choose from 1-5 stars. the idea of it being based on the person and not the post is where this fails.
Forum should be about the person and the debate not the person and that happens to much already here and the rep system only encouraged that.
The rate thread is on here as well SENTY, top right (ish), under the pagination part.

Why does the need to neg someone have to exist?
For a positive forum which the aria forums have always been there really no need to mark people down.
Maybe because there are too many people free and easy with total rubbish advice. Or some members post total rubbish.

I'm pretty sure you or someone else banned them, think it was in our original we have moved from you know where post.
Ok when did my rep jump 220 points? :L
When did all the rep lark start happening anyway!
Everything was fine 2 days ago and now it's all gone pear shaped,
it was causing a lot of friction, negative rep. I could show you all the messages I've received about it, but I won't, and I wasn't the only one of the mod/admin team either.
In a month or two, you'll all find something else that's massively unfair :lol:
DT.
I saw what happened with the negative rep but the abuse with the positive rep is just silly, 408 rep, when i logged of yesterday, It was at 170ish, it shouldn't happen.
OK, I've made a GLOBAL change to the rep system and the rep power calculation.
It's now a lot harder for rep power to increase :)
DT.
Hmm, i see in another thread that negative rep had a large effect on our rep power, but in all honesty it means nothing.
Edit: just a thought, Is there any way you can remove all nonsence rep from the past 24 hours before the abuse?
indeed, there is no easy fix.
The best option I have is to remove all the reputation left, harden the settings and start from a clean slate. Failing that it's a removal :lol:

I had my red rep bar removed earlier today :(

How about turning the ability to give rep off for members and those who are the heart of the community that have the knowledge, institution and the maturity to give rep responsibly.
So lets say a Mod/Admin thinks a member should be allowed to give rep, then it is enabled.
Someone mentioned that receiving rep made them feel special and warm and is much better than thanks, well like this, it must be a damn good post to get it then :D
