Rep is a petty, stupid, and abuse-prone system.

I like trust rating a lot more. It's objective, only counts what matters, and fair to all.


Massive agree.

Sounds good to me.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

Then I'd still be a lowly member lol, so that said it hardly matters to me :P Either way I'm stuck at the bottom of the food chain.

I tweet?

I still don't get why most people hate the idea of a rep/karma system. So many sites use it and it works fine(Reddit, Roosterteeth, Steam forums, etc). So what if you get down-voted for your opinion, doesn't the person disagreeing with you have a right of their own to do so?

I just hate the pissing matches that come with it.

And yes it COULD get abused, but it'd be no worse then seeing people posting randomness to get the Fabled/Intrepid ranks. Besides, it'd be just a title.Do people do that here on the forums? I haven't seen something so blatant as someone trying to spam to Fable/Intrepid. But I have seen that with a rep, karma system.

Hell, lets get rid of the title system all together.

So now we just have one prefix? Just one train of them? Just a prefix based on karma/rep?

So no more veteran, senior, elder, honorable, noble, exalted, intrepid, or fabled? You're going to get rid of all of that in favor of:

Rep prefix number 1
Rep prefix number 2
Rep prefix number 3
Rep prefix number 4
and so on?

Really? That sounds incredibly stupid and dull.

Did I say anything like that? Did I even mention how it could work out to be added as a prefix or a title or how it'd replace all of them? No, I'm just stating it'd BE a title/prefix.

If you want my two cents on that, it could work into the ranking order of prefixes already.

So it'd go:
1. Honorable - No bans/warnings in about 1 year*
2. Rep level 1 prefix
3. Veteran - Active member of 4 years
4. Noble - Active member of 2 years, with no bans for at least 1 year*
5. Rep level 2 prefix
6. Senior - Active member of 5 years
7. Elder - Active member of 6 years
8. Intrepid - High post count
9. Rep level 3 prefix
10. Fabled - Very high post count
11. Exalted - No bans/warnings in 3 years
12. Absent - inactivity for 2+ months

I don't agree with it taking over completely, and I certainly do not want it to replace the truth system, but with how easily the posting prefixes are abused (and trust me they are, look at the repetitive topics on how to get them and how many posts are needed), it'd be the same thing just a different system. How bad could it be?

I've seen a lot of threads on the Community forums asking how many posts are needed to get those prefixes, so there are people out there who DO plan on, or are already abusing the system to get a higher internet title.

Hell, lets get rid of the title system all together.

I wouldn't mind it.

Rep is usually abused.

I assumed you were agreeing with the OP, who is proposing getting rid of the system by saying they should be less random (not the way they are now) and go by rep (instead of how it is now).

Simple misunderstanding.

He's right on top of us! I wonder if he is using the same wind we are using...

You know what I wouldn't mind?

A 'like' system unrelated to rep or anything else. Would mean I could support an idea in a thread without having to post that I like it.

"No, Hoobla. No."
~DeeJ

If we knew EXACTLY how to rank up then we would do the bare minimum to get a new title... A troll could pretend to be a good little boy for 5 more days until he gets his title, then the troll would return.

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

I think I had a rep of -60,000 on the last site I participated in that had the feature.

Are you trying to kill my exalted? Jerk.
