The Phoenix Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Greetings, I noticed some of fact about the negative rep' for some people and post, what's that for? seems like weird question.. I realy hope that people use it for a "right" reason, by the name.. Negative reputation already bad,its psychological and mentaly damaging, i'm new with the game also the forum, even my post not reach 15 still but i read almost all topic in the forum, and i found a sad fact that a personal and sentimentil reason sometimes or maybe always gave a bad rep for some player, whats that for? the fact that an annoying and bad personality player in game sometimes cause them to received a bad rep for every of their topic or post in the forum? And even a "personal" issues between player created a "must" reason for some player to give a bad rep for every of their "opponent" post even before they read the post? I'm sorry for this, maybe its not a really "important" thing but some new player like me got distracted by ur negative rep about some player, i found some are nice character,amazing personality and helpful player in game but they got a really bad rep in the forum even for their "usual" topic or post. Its all about respect, a habit, a mateur act, i just dont wanna think twice to knowing someone in realm, but if this forum is created for an "out of the realm" reason and totally not a game part then i can't say anything.. Once again a bad rep' is totally damaging a player reputation and killing their character in game,but if thats for a right reason i dont mind, but if its not..I'm very sad, please vote responsibly.. (im sorry if my english not the best one but i'm trying my best.. ) Regards, -Phoenix For The Sky Army- Chewett, Kyphis the Bard, Amoran Kalamanira Kol and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dst Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 -14 now probably ... I think it's a necessary evil. Usually the forum reputation gives you an image of how a person is seen by the community. It's an average. Of course this is not 100% accurate but in my experience I found it to be true in most of the cases. At least for the active members. Not the ones that post once a year. The downside of it is that people might refrain from saying certain things so they will not be neg reped. But I do hope it's not the case.

Kamisha Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 After while you stop caring. I know some people that actually are competing for bad rep. Earthier way iI am fine with the thought that I have a generally abrasive personality on the fourm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipstickz Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Since personally, I've been at both ends (around -30 or -40 rep, if I remember correct, and now what I have currently), I can say one thing with near-certainty; Rep is almost as meaningless as a rock's opinion on politics. Almost. It does show what the community thinks of you, because if somebody sees -rep on a post that they don't think belongs, they may try to correct it.

No one Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) I disagree with Pipstick and phantasm. Negative reputation is all about what you write in that specific post. For example, - if you write stuff that is offensive, you will get "neg rep". - but if you write something interesting ... and ppl like it ... you might notice a positive reputation for that specific post. - I think that it was a months ago when on the same page, for the same player, I gave a positive reputation and a negative one. There were 2 ideas, one good and one stupid (in my opinion). So .. Consider that giving a reputation point (+ / -) as your own 2 cents on his/her post. In the end, if you notice that you have a lot of neg rep ... you should ask yourself why. Consider it as the fastest feedback you can give / get. (that if you really care what others think about you) Edited July 26, 2010 by dst Ivorak, Pipstickz, dst and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my opinion not perfect is doesn't mean bad. Chewett and nadrolski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure i talked to my mods and then we opened a topic (somewhere on the forum). Although some members disliked the idea. Others saw it as a good thing. Overall from what i saw from the topic i came to see it how no one described here, and decided it should stay. as usual im interested in what others think of the rep system, because im currently thinking that its a good idea. But im open to change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
