User Reputation?
How is our rep effected? I see most of the mods have really high rep but most normal users only have 1 green bar.
Another forum I goto hongfire.com which is an anime forum lets users add/sub from other users rep based on thier post content / behavior etc etc. I think this is a good thing hopefully this VB has this feature. |

To add to a users rep check out the "Scales of Justice" located below each users name to the left.

This is an older post I know, but the information is at least on topic and didn't warrant a new post of its own.
I've been on a forum that used this feature (A5OG.net) to allow users access to specific forums like group buy, for sale, advertisers sections etc. User's are required to have 50 posts and 50 rep points before they can gain access to any of these sections, which allows members to get settled and established before they are allowed to reap the benefits of being a member. Members give positive rep for constructive and helpful posts and give negative rep for derogatory/inflammatory posts that serve no useful purpose. If a member gets enough rep to be "in the negative" then they go into the "penalty box" which limits them only being allowed to post in a limited number of threads and I believe that they can't even start posts or PM anyone. Mind you once someone goes into the penalty box they are stuck there for a specific amount of time until it is restored by a moderator the good thing is that once a member is in the box there rep can't be repped up or down until they are restored so you can't go down too far that you can't come back. The rep system keeps people in check for the most part, the mods randomly monitor the rep to make sure people aren't arbitrarily repping friends for no reason. The system encourages and rewards good behavior and basically brings posts like "that sucks bitch, you're not cool like me" to an end because many folks will rep the derogatory members down. One final thing about rep, the more rep you have the more "power" you have. Your power is how much rep you give out if you give someone good rep and half your power if you give neg rep. This allows the members who have been around a while and have a fair amount of good rep, to relatively keep the peace. |

^^^ That is not a bad idea in theory, but there would be a decent amount of rep-whoring and it would limit people who likely SHOULD have certain privileges and allow complete dicks to do things when THEY need to be limited. I think the system in place now, where it is in good clean fun works, the moderators control limitation of user privilege with the "partial ban" (pinking) which limits the functions as you named.

As for abuse & people with the power being "complete dicks" two things tend to happen, one if they're blatant dicks most all of the users tend to ding them for there post which can knock away a chunk of there power pretty fast. The other is if the user is just arbitrarily neg-repping folks because they can then those victims can pm any of the mods who then review it and if that user is found to be a dick then the mods take away there powers and they can start over and the victim gets his rep back. Tit-for-tat negative repping is not allowed rep isn't supposed to be given away for no reason and in fact, users are required to comment when they give rep. The system works, and while i've seen some abuses I've also seen every case of abuse regulated and dealt with accordingly. I think given time that if the system was implemented here it could work but who know's really. |

Current system isn't broken, no need to fix it. I don't like the sound of regular members having "power". We Mods and Admin work hard to keep things under control and organized here at Zilvia.net. More people with more power = more trouble. In my opinion.

The fact is that I see no problem with the way reputation is set up on this site, it should stay the same or just be removed completely. The fact remains that 80-90% of the users wouldn't even notice. |

There's no threat to removing power from the moderators, this just gives the community the ability to regulate itself in a small way. The iron-fist that should never be questioned will still exist it could just be supplemented by users leaving rep for folks. I could go through the past 7 days of threads with post's that are superfluous post whoring and/or in no way add to the the thread. I'm not trying to sell a new untested system, just bring it to another forum that I visit. I can see that it's meeting a lot of resistance and guess that this isn't the place for it. Thanks to everyone for there time. |

(Minimum Posts: 700) Nissanaholic! (Minimum Posts: 1000) Post Whore! (Minimum Posts: 2500) 3000+ Posts will allow you to set your own Title in your CP. |

Admins should change the page where you buy the premium membership to show that you get the rep upgraded deal.

Its not that we dont appreciate what the MODs and ADMINs do here, but giving the members some responsibility and "power" would show you (MODs and ADMINs) have a little faith in that we (members) can help you keep things under control. Anyways that is my 2 cents |
