Author Topic: blockland forums needs a rep system  (Read 1008 times)

I really don't like this idea.

stop with the trying to turn this into reddit and stop calling this /bl/

rep is a useless system and it's not needed. no one is posting downloads, so looking at the rep only shows how much they have to brag about

Reddit did not invent reputation systems.


Reputation systems are terrible. You will likely get downvoted more for simply having a dissenting opinion about waffles versus pancakes.

They are in no real way to determine a users credibility, potential behavior, and the like. You can easily gather your moronic friends just to hit a particular user for no reason, thus killing the legitimacy of their positive/negative points and the purpose of the system.

Also,
but we all know blockland is filled with grudgeholding richardmondays (myself included) that would love nothing more than to downvote every single post of a user

so

1 upvote = 1 upvote

10 downvotes = -1 upvotes

You want to penalize people for downvoting? That's just stupid.
Or are you saying if a user receives 10 downvotes, they lose an upvote? Regardless, that's still stupid.

when :o ive never seen a topic about a rep system all 2 years ive been here

Add on section's threads should have a voting system so people can pick up the good ones instead of downloading some stuffty mod with admin backdoors.
