41i think a poll is a great idea, because then we can actually get something done about this
my suggested answers are on the lines of
- Leave the rep system the way it is
- Include signatures on all reps
- Remove the green/red blobs
- Remove the scoring system
these are just a few suggestions
231^ I don't think a poll will achieve anything. We have had threads just like this one in the past, where the exact same points were brought up, and neither Viper or Quiky wanted to or did anything about it.
48Zomg...
viper and quicky are the anonymous negreppers!

You cracked it!
660Quiky was the one that said get a poll together if you want to change it. Doesn't mean he was going to do it for you.
89I agree with you except with the bit with the blobs, I'd like them just to be one blob that's red or green and thats it.Originally Posted by AshDav
330I'll gather some thoughts and make the poll.
1761) I like the rep system and really thinks it brings something to the forum
2) Remove the commenting and personal interface
3) Remove the blobs
4) I'd like to get rid of the whole system all together
48What do you mean with the second choice? That is getting rid of the system
182 He means just have the blobs and a + or - scoring system, not comments at all.
9511 please. I still check my rep once in a while to see if I've made some good posts or not. I don't want to spam the forum with useless posts...
oh wait.... that's what I've been doing since I got here huh
Well anyways, I still think -rep is good for warning people of bad posts and +rep is good for directing people who have made -rep-worthy posts in the past as to how they're progressing.
231There also needs to be an option for those who like the system the way it is now, and just want it to not be anonymous anymore.
1631That's not what we said.
That's what I said.
If you want to make a change, start a poll.
328congrats on the red blobs, that's gotta take skill to achieve
27Ooh now that's an interesting idea!
7Being rather new here I have to say I think the rep system is hard for new people as you are so concious (sp?) (well I amwas actually rather pleased to get my green blob now to actually have some rep power to use would be a good thing
.
I do actually notice the green blobs and the post count as a sign of the intellect/quality/longevity etc of the poster so do feel that they have something to offer but also feel that have to sign them makes you think about repping + or - before you actually do it therefore bringing more intergrity to the system
*please excuse my seriously bad spelling
edit: oh I have a rep power point how exciting
231I didn't mean to presume. It's just that last time we had this discussion a few weeks back Viper replied to the thread but didn't really hint at any changes.
I think a poll is a good idea. It's about time we settle this rep thing once and for all, whatever the outcome.

I think just make them force signed, and keep the rest that way should be an option. Often I refrain from negrepping cause I'm too lazy to write a comment, if I could just negrep my name without having to type anything it would be much easier....
630Shh! You have said too much.
Anywho, the reps work well for getting a general idea of how trusted the person in. You generally won't get a 30+ rep member telling everyone about how he drove his dad's new Aston around or steal pictures off the Interweb for a photo competition.
In the end though the person's words are what matters. Just ignore the reps if you don't like the system.
330Okay, so before I make a poll, I need your guys opinions. I've put some thought into the poll options, but unfortunately, there's like a million ways of how the rep system could work, which would make the poll kind of confusing.
Then, I thought about a multiple-choice-poll, where everyone can vote for his very personal best rep system step by step. That however could lead to a result that doesn't make sense whatsoever. Also, some questions are dependant of each other, so if you take option X, it might mean that option Y suddenly means squat to you. I tried to work out a system that has a workaround, but it would be mind-boggingly complicated and therefore lead nowhere.
Therefore, I think I'll make a small and simple series of polls to determine what you guys would like the rep system to be like. So if for example the first poll brings to light that you want the rep system to go altogether, I don't need to ask further questions. In the end, it seems to be the only way to get a proper verdict.
What do you think?
