Thread: Neg Reps

We need it. Thoughts?

I like this idea.

Whats the point? Our reps don't count for anything.

WTM is right our system as it is now doesn't give points so negs wouldn't be of value. Also after my experience on Broncomania with negs its way to divisive.

I miss my paint can.

That's the nice thing about not having a point system (although I'm in favor one). Getting a neg rep won't hurt your points, so it shouldn't get anybody in a big tizzy. As for it being divisive, I suppose it could be. Neg rep as it was used on the Freak was a fun and non divisive thing, it was usually used to jest.

I disagree. The Freak was a much more.....vicious....place than here. And at the moment, 'positive rep' can be used for the same purpose.....

I am not talking about the people who came from the
Freak...I am talking about others.


Plus alot of stuff that took place there will not go here...if people
get too out of line!

Per the discussion that Tned started.

Points mean jack shit on Orangemane.com and we have neg rep. It still effective and useful. I rarely use it but when I come across a post that warrants it I like having it. Its a way of letting a person know in a personal way they suck.

My experience has been much a lot different than yours, of course I was also frequenting a different message board.

For 92% of us, it wouldn't cause a tizzy...but for the rest.....

As I've said many, many times before...when the advisory board was in place, and probably still somewhat now, this site was/is all about appeasing the minority.


I kind of miss having a CP system.
