ScottDaniels 30 Posted May 27, 2018 Personally I would just remove karma/rep/whatever you wanna call it all together cuz its crazy how much people care about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bellenettiel 232 Posted May 27, 2018 Thread in question, you can also argue that trash posters don't care if you downvote. (and that they can down vote themselves) But then again... ugh.. i am not sure myself.. it depends on who we're talking too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rumple 35 Posted May 27, 2018 Are there any negatives to the reputation system? Like I can't post anymore or just I'll have a stigma of being a troll? I can see the pros & cons, but generally being a civil human being and not getting caught up on such a rating system should play out well I think.

Alani 475 Posted May 27, 2018 I get people's concerns because I've noticed people just downvoting a persons posts on one thread just because. But tbh who cares. You got weirdos like zombie who wanna have negative thousand and will use alternate accounts to do it. Lol You have to be some kind of weirdo to think positives and negatives will change how people act on the forums. I'm still a banana and I have plenty of downvotes lmao Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edit: the whole point of me asking before for more useless liking reactions, was also in the same vein of making the like system more of a gimmick too.

killerskull 111 Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) I made this suggestion in my suggestion topic. Negative karma will be abused and it just brings out a negative environment. I know on imgur I corrected people and stated facts only to be downvoted. Same thing can happen here. Dont like the truth? Downvote! Just let there be upvoting. People who deserve it and are good will have loads of points and people who are not great will have no or low karma. This way you cant even judge the person if they had a large negative karma. Its like you see their red and already dislike them or something. Edited May 27, 2018 by killerskull Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
