Staceybob Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Im not a fan of negative rep features. I had a karma thing on my site once and I just had to disable it because it was causing too many arguements. Stacey xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Miss Bump Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 probs cps people are arguing or if not posting constructively/arguing they get bad reps yeah but having a different opinion to someone shouldn't be 'punished' esp if people have completely blown it out of proportion.

Lil Miss Bump Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 It has been brought back to try and diminish the amount of bitchyness going around at the moment. An announcement is being typed up with more info on but this is exactly what is going to happen. because i have had a different opinion to people this evening all my reps are going to diminish which is not fair as i have worked hard for them.

Staceybob Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Personally I think it will make the bitchiness worse :\ but I guess we'll see in time. Stacey xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 OK so let me get this right Aimee. You dont like not being able to have an opinion about someones topic, yet I have just switched on your ability to do exactly that... And you dont like it?

Staceybob Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I don't see Negative Reputation as beneficial at all. Positive points make you feel good about what you posted, especially if you worked hard on a reply. Negative points can really upset people and people can also just negative rep you and then not give a valid reason or explaination of why they felt they didn't agree with your opinion, so I dont think it really gives someones opinion. But like I said, I guess we'll have to wait and see - ive just never seen it function well on a forum. Stacey xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Miss Bump Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 no marc, i am not trying to cause an arguement....all i said is i believe that people who have earned reps for things that other people have found informative, funny etc will get their reps taken away for not agreeing with other people. eg yes i didnt not agree with stacey's post today, because to me it is something that is common sense..... but there is no way that i would've taken her reps away from it just because i didn't like it-as others have said THEY found it helpful.

Sid_Wolf Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 It did work last time, just people kept abusing it and -reping every post that went against their views, even if they were valid points, rather than actually having a debate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People use it more like a dislike button on facebook. Like, if facebook did has a dislike button, it wouldn't really matter, because it's only on that status so it goes away after a while. But on a forum it effects your mini profile, so the effect is seen everywhere. Stacey xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 if people are that set against it we can just take it off - no harm in saying we were wrong to implement it. If it goes or stays though the bitchiness and abuse of other members does not stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid&BellaNTX Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 but this is exactly what is going to happen. because i have had a different opinion to people this evening all my reps are going to diminish which is not fair as i have worked hard for them. I see her point. People may be more inclined to give neg rep if they don't like the person or if they just don't like the topic. Maybe neg rep could be left to someone like a third party to the complaining or arguing...someone like a mod or admin and only if it's deemed necessary. I don't see myself giving neg rep unless someone is a complete idiot but that's just me. I doubt I would notice neg rep. Heck I just figured out a couple of days ago how to give rep!

It is common sense not to let a husky off lead, if you know. Its common sense that a husky can occasionally have 'the runs' on eating things, if you know. I didnt find the post helpful to me, however others may find it so for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
