No more negative reputation?

[joshSCH]

Whoa.. has Dani decided to change the rep system and not allow anyone to give bad rep anymore? I just noticed this, and I didn't see any other thread about it... Is this just temporary or has the entire system been changed?

[cutepinkbunnies]

Dunno...I just gave you negative rep :P let me know if it works!

[joshSCH]

you can give negative rep?? Maybe its just me then..

[cutepinkbunnies]

lol I was just kidding. It had a "I approve" and "I disapprove" for options.

[joshSCH]

really? I only have an 'approve' option..

[christina>you]

Same here.

[joshSCH]

should I pm an admin, and ask whats up?

[christina>you]

You could try...

[~s.o.s~]

I can still hand out +ve and -ve rep. Maybe some problem at your side. Let Dani know of this one.

[Rashakil Fol]

The only people who've said they're capable of giving out negative rep are moderators, sponsors, etc, so far.

[christina>you]

Ahh... you think it will continue to be this way?

[joshSCH]

hah.. Well this is interesting.. Can you give out negative rep rashakil?

[~s.o.s~]

If what Rashakil proposes is true, then things are turning out to be really interesting..

[joshSCH]

well.. many people were complaining about the rep system..

[christina>you]

I wouldn't care either way...

[joshSCH]

It would be pretty much a system with only positive rep, b/c admins, mods, and sponsors probably won't negatively rep often

[~s.o.s~]

Its much safer this way I think -- moderators don't hand out -ve rep for no reason.

[joshSCH]

I agree.. but people's rep will become inflated much more quickly.. Perhaps they should lower the amount that each rep contributes to someone else's rep..

[christina>you]

Yeah... I agree also.
I'm thinking it's permanent.

This is so awesome... now I can hand out negative reputation and no one can send it back at me. :twisted:

But seriously, I think this is a good move by Dani (if this is what really happened, it looks normal to me). There were too many idiots abusing the system, making it completely pointless (my rep in the last few days has just been going up and down, and now I'm right back where I started from a few weeks ago.)
