    I'm against a rep system of any kind, positive or negative.

    That being said I think there is a thread discussing the possibility of giving out more suspensions or bannings.

    The only way I would be OK with it is if the person giving the neg could not be anonymous. I also think that if it involves a point system the person recieving negs should be able to appeal and possibly reverse those negs even to the point of applying those negs to the initiator.

    I really don't think you understand how a real rep system works. No one gets preferential treatment. I am going to PM Tned tomorrow and show him how a rep system CAN work.

    BM's system was totally abused.

    I kind of miss having a CP system.
    I know you have said it, but I would disagree with the statement. The early Town Hall and other discussions about neg rep and Points indicated that most people did not want them. The threads still exist, so you can take a look.

    It might be that ONLY the minority speaks ups, but since the AB, nor I, were or are mind readers, we can only go by feedback in the Town Hall threads.

    Some perfect examples are that the minority you speak of was not in favor of a lounge, and not in favor of loosening up the censor filter and allowing more acronyms, such as WTH (which you were intimately familiar with when it wasn't allowed).

    As I have said before, no subject is taboo to have a Town hall discussion about and if it is clear that a clear majority of the message board wants something, we will do it (provided there are no legal or financial implications on my part). If on the other hand the message board is 'split' on something, then I (and in the past the advisory board) will make a judgment call as to moving forward with something that the message board is split on.

    Tned, I think the majority of the former BM posters have a legitimate beef, because the system was stupid. I think, if you listen to us former BF posters, that we have a system that can work.

    I understand how the only one I have ever seen worked, and yes it was as real as it gets on a message board.

    I really meant what I said, I think you are misunderstanding the point.

    I really don't think that many understand how a rep system can work for the benefit of all, because of their experiences at the BM.

    I look forward to the PM on the rep system. I don't think it will be too much of a surprise, because I think the 'Other BF' (broncosfreak.com) had it setup in a pretty standard vBulltein way, but with the addition that the Salutes/hi-fives also added to the rep.

    As to the rep system being an alternative to the mods having more authority, i am having trouble following that one. Are you saying that you think people will be so concerned about their rep and getting negs for bad behavior, that they will behave better and not need to be disciplined by the mods?

    Also, for those that don't know, in the same way that BM gave new perks and titles with CP, the rep system can be setup with things like a person can't create a thread until they have a certain amount of rep, if their rep is negative, they can lose privelages, etc. There are quite a few possibilities of how it can be setup, if we choose to go that route.

    I think one of the biggest mistakes BM made was having CP/Rep anonymous, as well as only allowing high CP people the ability to neg.

    I don't see any possitive to it. If you don't like something someone says, tell them. You can PM them, post in the same thread and quote them.

    The bad taste from BM comes from people that would do it just because they disagree with what you said. They could do it anonymously so you could not tell who had done it so there was no accountablity.

    I only got negs twice but still it just seemed like a cowards way to do it.

    I can't disagree with you, since the vast majority of vBulletin sites out there use the rep system. In many places, BM tried to get 'cute' with their implementations, rather than do things in more standard ways. They did it with CP,and it eventually backfired, they did it with IP and it backfired day 1.

    I think, as I've said, that you're missing the point altogether.

    Yes, if someone disagrees with you, they can neg-rep you, but that will NEVER count towards a banning, it's just to show people where you stand.

    I expect that this will never be implemented, because the BM members will never agree to it, but I think that something HAS to be implemented.

    Neg rep wa between te poster and the person that read it and disagreed. Like today when I said something bad about Che Guevara. Someone could have told me I am a douche bag in private........... Just like the salute.......... But not in public.

    Might be a bad Idea...... Might be good. I enjoyed it though. I did it 99% more to remind my friends that they sucked at life. Just me though...........

    I got negs a lot. Usually unsigned so I got use to it. But whatever happens here works for me.
    The Cp System use to be cool for me but then After a while I got cps anyways and my love for CP's faded away.
    It was cool when it 1st started cause I loved to read my comments in my CP's.
    Even if they were worth 0 points or 10 points. I always like seeing comments in my things.
    Thats why the High 5 system thing made things sad cause I don't get any comments anymore. Just high 5's here and there

    Its all gewd though.

    And I'm a BM Member and anything works for me.
    Lets get the Maners opinions on things though. I heard that thier the smartest of the bunch.

    What's IP? I assume we're not talking "Internet Protocal" addressing?
