What do you mean? I didn't -1 him. Someone else did. So I +1 him. To even it.

Yeah, it could be classed as REP boosting as there are people out there who deserve a -1 and get it but then get all their mates to give them +1 to "Even it"... To keep consistent on the forums, they have to apply the rules to everyone so that kinda includes us believe it or not :)

Anyway, I appreciate what you did, but I think it's better next time to leave it for the sake of saving your own bacon.

Yeah, but there was no reason, which is required for a -1.

Yeah, but there was no reason, which is required for a -1.

People are allowed to cast reputation as they please, we only take action when the reputation is given out by one member to another in a co-ordinated or otherwise organized way, I.E. mass down-voting or up-voting posts by one member in order to either "get back" or as a "you rep me, I rep you" scheme, the ultimate sanctions being banishment. It's also not allowed for users to "rectify" reputation given, it's also regarded as rep abusing.

Huh?

I don't understand what you mean. Tom was down voted with no reason at all, and I don't think that was very fair. It had no reason and/or comment, therefore shouldn't be fair. But, I may be misunderstanding. So don't yell at me for it, I just don't understand.

Reputation is an opinion about that member's posts or doings, get over it.

Tom said "Thanks, +1"

Is that really something to have feelings about? Not arguing, just asking.

If another member gives a -1, that, unless it is spammed/a rep abuse itself, is to be taken as is. If you upvote that post, just for the simple cause of bringing the post back to 0, it is considered rep-abuse; as you only voted to save the poster from a negative rep. Is that clear?

Yes. I didn't know that. I just think it isn't very fair to be -1 for nothing...

It's not up for you to decide if it's nothing or if it's something. there's no real point in keeping on the discussion, the rules are the way they are, we might as well get rid of the rep system if we're going to allow users to "rectify" reputation points.

Wouldn't this go in the LCPDFR.com section, not Random?

Reputation issues again? I can see staff getting pissed off and just removing it.. it would put an end to the headache and the ridiculous bantering and spamming, i finally have 122 REP, i'd like to keep it, but damn.......

If you got a -1, someone either A) didn't like your comment or B) a spammer, however, the staff probably already know's.

It's not reporting any issues, or comes with suggestions, however it's related to the website, it's a grey area, however two moderators already posted in it, so we'd have caught it and moved it.

It was actually split from a different thread, but started to take over the discussion in that thread, so it was split.

OK. I like to ask so I have a better idea of what goes where.

Where's the reputation system gone? :ohmy:

Obvious,as it was- its gone (p'raps permanently).

The reputation system has been disabled as of today and until further notice, we'll post an announcement regarding it's future when possible.

Hate to say it, but, i told ya so, should have just left it alone..

It's not related to this thread at all, it's been disabled as there's been found a fault in the system, which needs to be patched, among other things.

Fault? Is that why Tom got a -1? I also found a few other comments -1 without comments to support it...

Yet more evidence that the whole rep system is a bad idea. How many more of these threads are we going to see I wonder?

In the meantime, calm down. It's just a number that doesn't mean anything. You guys realize that, right?
