The Rep thing.
It's okay, I'm not here to hate on it. I actually think it's a pretty funny thing to play with.
BUT, the last 5-6 person I've tried to rep (All positive, I love you guys!) have been "you must spread some blablabla". It's been going on like this almost since the start, when there was this spree thing (at least for me), but now, it's even worse.
I know others have complained about it too. Why not set it down to 10, or 15? Or delete it after a few days? Or something, I don't want to go on a neg-repping spree to spread love to my comrades!
Or is it impossible, and everybody knows it, exept me? If so, use this thread to tell about the time when you almost had sex with your cousin, or showed her/him yours, or something.

Re: The Rep thing.
My cousins are both male and I haven't seen them for years.
I don't enjoy this rep thing.

These are signs the system isn't working. I know some people want even to get rid of the whole ratio thing, but if we did that the system would become meaningless, something akin to printing your own money.
I find it appaling people even feel the need to go neg repping people just so they can do more positive reps, that's just stupid.
I feel that if people are running out of pos-reps they are clearly not thinking the thing through properly. Pos reps should be treated like a commodity, you don't just go handing it out because you favour someone, it should be because they have made a post that was distinguished in some way from all other posts, including others by the same person.
I will agree though that resetting it after a period of time could be another solution.

Re: The Rep thing.
i found i needed to be a bit more active in the distribution of my approval/disproval everyday
just be more free with your opinion on what people post
you dont need to just go and dish out a load of negative to people you dont care about or anything mean like that

Re: The Rep thing.
I've been thinking about this rep-Planetarion game thing where positive rep is defence and negative rep are attackers and you can attack and defend people and when someone reaches the red-blob threshold he loses and gets kicked from the game or banned and you need to spam to build up enough rep to be able to defeat your enemies and you can use the PM function to message your friends that you're being red-blobbed so that they can green-blob you...
yea... that'd be cool... It would be just like old PA like in round 3 and 4. Simple but effective.
The only thing I haven't figured out is how to prevent alliance-blocks. I'd hate to get blob-bashed by the GD equivalent of Legion.

Re: The Rep thing.
I have barely handed out reputation to anyone, +ive or -ive, I only rep people when I really feel they have made an excellent or an apalling post. Unfortunately I tend to find it's the same few posters who repeatedly make posts which I feel deserve more blobs. I have however recently started being a bit more generous with my repping so now I am happy to say I can FINALLY give blobs to people I actually think deserve them.

Because the word greatness loses it's meaning when used in conjunction with any alliance but Fury

Re: The Rep thing.
Is it unfair to say that a female will decide she wants to give ie: Leshy a rep but will end up going back through the thread and end up repping a whole load of other people before she gets to Leshy and will be like "he/she doesn't need it". That's what the experts call Impulsive Indecicevness.
I don't see what's wrong with this (well yeah it is icky) but it keeps the traditions within in the family.

Pos reps should be given for good posts, neg reps for bad posts. If a shitty posters posts something less shitty than usual then this still isnt a good post. We don't reward murderers when they steal candybars.

Re: The Rep thing.
And while we're complaining about the rep thing, grey blobs should show up as positive or negative even though they dont count towards your score.

I don't like rep, because I don't have much.

Re: The Rep thing.
My problem is, with the "whole give away rep on post not users" thing, is that there are only a very limited amount of users that sustain a quality of posts. Of course, I've given away a few rep's here and there to people I like just beacause I like them, but now, I try to give based on posts. There are a lot of people I like that are shitty posters, or that post quality sometimes and crap or just nothing most of the time. (Like myself, at least I like to think that i post some quality!)
Seb, I was not trying to judge. I just wanted stories

Re: The Rep thing.
just a thought
couldnt you go and give out random (positive for the sake of general niceness) rep in the RP forum to spread yourself out?
