If possible, might I suggest the rep system return to how it was pre-crash? Or just add some way to make users give a reason before up and down repping? Twice so far I've been downed for no real reason, or at least for reasons that eludes me. And once for a reason (up) I couldn't comprehend.
Spoiler
Bah I went on too long.

I think this would add, as I for one loved the old rep system.

The old system was on another forum system, so I don't know
if it can be implemented with the current forum software.

I think we should just remove it and post counts as well
those two things seem to produce "retardedness" in trying to
get them up.

Agreed with the 'retardedness' part, but I still like messing with One. :P

As for random down reps, I just don't get it.

Well I guess at it's base its a incentive to promote input into the community.
It clearly doesn't work here as some users just try to get rep up out of lulz and crap.

The post count troubles me more with people making unnecessary/nothing posts in threads
with some added derailment.

I'd like to suggest that you add a confirmation (if possible, of course). I mean, once you click that button - accidentally or otherwise - that's it. End of story. I know I've accidentally -repped people before (once, but that's beside the point) and I'm sure other people have done the same.

Of course, this would do little for the retardedness/useless pride, but it'd be a useful addition at least.

I heard Adelaine is also working on the new rep system.

she said once it implemented, all reps will be rollbacked to zero so I don't think our current rep matter.

I was just on the Minecraft forums and had an idea. If you guys are so annoyed with people downrepping, why don't you just leave the +reps up?

Why do people say this?

Not everybody who liked the rep system abused it. It wasn't perfect and I don't agree with it being removed because people got too irritated by it. The old rep system on the previous forums was a lot better because you could see WHY you got +rep/-rep and the person giving it could explain why they were giving it. This time round, people just started clicking on the +rep and -rep signs for no reason and because they didn't have to specify WHY they were doing it.

I agree with just brining back the +reps. With no -reps to get in the way, nobody has a reason to bitch and moan. It's a little bit of fun and I don't see why it got taken too far.

Would it be possible to get negative rep? Could I roll around like a boss with a -25% approval rating of all my posts, and not a care in the world? I have a reputation to uphold, after all. B) Haters gonna hate. But no, really. Keep 'rep' abstract now, people shouldn't be contributing fer a coupl'a arbitrary statistic changes, it should be fer bein' helpful to the community. ^^

I completely agree. Repping people was fun and it promoted smarter posting. Idiots who try to derail a thread with 30 posts of complete nonsense, etc. etc. may think twice before they do it. It was also great to reward people for a hilarious post or a straight up genius comment.

Next time if someone gets butthurt cause 'ohhhhhhhhhhh noooooo, someone downrepped me and now im at +82 reps and my manhood shrunk a quarter inch!',
Say i pity the fool and lock his rep count at -10. Shoot, might as well even give him a custom title that says 'crybaby'. I would. Tough love should replace ruining the fun for everyone on this forum.
