Reputation Rating?

[Mr Morse]

Have the committee ever considered a reptation rating - i.e. when a member makes a useful/informative post that could be of help to other members and gets an approval from other members? Something along the lines of the IS300.net system.

I think this has been suggested a few times, originally from Paul (I think), but it never happened

[Matthew_McNally]

been considered mate, but never been done (and in my opinion - never will be).

- we already have a problem with post whoring. karma whoring we can live without.

- we try to keep the forum hacks to a minumum. they seem like a good idea - until you have to upgrade. then they become a MASSIVE ball ache.

I'm on another forum that uses rep - basically you only get it when people post pics of porn or funny jokes - when it's really deserved it never gets dished out

[Mr Morse]

Point taken.....

But the idea of the system is surely to cut out the endless stream of ecomotions and promote good, sensible tips and ideas.

How about -ve Reps for Bull$***** posts?

Mike, they also have that on the other forum mate but then it's like on here, when you put something useful the guys that know each other and take the ***** give out massive negative points for good tips for a laugh!

You know what we're like mate, yes a lot of the posts from guys like yourself do deserve good feedback, but the problem is in practice it just doesn't work :P

It then ended up with loads of post for people just asking for karma so they got more dots - and you know what - they get it!

So you end up with some crappy posts saying "me too, me too" and they get karma for it

Great idea mate, just very difficult in practice :(

I mean, at the end of the day, I'd have my karma points maxed out, and look at the crap I post :o

it just becomes yet another "internet ***** size" comeptition, with sad people whoring themselves out for karma, and / or arguing and fighting over who does get the karma
