I dont take any notice to who a person is when i read their posts [if its a serious thread/reply], i take each and every single post as it is . . . . . a nonbiased viewpoint. It doesnt matter if a post is from a new player or a 60+ month veteran with a high rep, if they both are claiming something is certain then they do both have to prove their point regardless.

But for that to happen, everyone would have to go to UniqueDragon's post and give him positive rep. That would just skew the system. I don't recommend that kind of social engineering at all.

First, you should be up there, because, unlike some more prominent personalities, it's a lot less likely that you'd get negative rep. |

Upon going to the Members List, and ranking according to reputation, would someone please explain to me how in the holy hell I am ranked THIRD?! There are THOUSANDS of forumites more highly regarded than moi who are currently being shunned, CAST ASIDE by the public's failure to step up and rep these people accordingly! This, ladies and gentlemen, is a clear sign of the times we live in. Michelle aka Samuraiko/Dark_Respite |
Secondly, it's still brand new, only about 300 people have any rep so far. With 9 points of rep, I'm in the middle of that grouping.
Thirdly, as an aside, it's interesting that about a dozen folks already have total negative rep.
Fourthly, my money is on the rep system going bye-bye completely.

Bah, you should be up there. You're nice, and probably most important, you don't piss people off. Of course your past work helps too.|

I'm smack dab in the middle with my 8 points. It kind of seems weird actually.

I won't say how many points I've gotten so far.... 
Something I'm wondering though is does negative actually ADD like one point to your rep? Because I coulda swore my rep score was one point lower before someone gave me "negative" rep.
Hey, I'm at 0 rep. Perfect. I have plenty of company here. I can hide in the center of the herd and let the predators pick off the ones around the edges.
Actually, the rep meter doesn't matter to me one way or another. If it becomes a problem, it can be switched off. I'm still trying to figure out all the more important new features.

I just looked at the "order" again. Good thing I took that screen shot when I did. Gratz Samuraiko!
I forsee this being a terrible addition...
Woot, new griefing system. -_-
How do you rate people?
How can I dish out bad rep?
Where do you go to look at this stuff?
So much to take in plus dbl exp

I'm not sure - I've not given anyone any rep - I don't really see the point of it |

You give good or bad rep by clicking the little scales icon by a person's post (next to the Online/Offline icon). You must leave a comment in order to give bad rep, but it's optional for good rep.|

You can check you rep by clicking the scales icon on one of your own posts, or in your User Control Panel.

I'm going to make it my mission to get as much dereputation as possible. Limited time offer, now available in my sig!
Also, I'm pretty sure post count adds to reputation.
Now excuse me, I have to go write a post about how Speed Boost sucks and I hate it.

My tenuous hold on 1st place was quickly derailed. I've gotten several negative reps in the last couple of hours with comments like "Out to pull you down" and "j" (whatever the hell that means). Now I'm back to 3rd or 4th or somesuch. Oh, well - good rep, bad rep, people still know me.|

For the record, I'm not nice. Depending on the charitability of the person talking about me, I'm anything from "refreshingly honest" to "damned abrasive" to "direct" to "rude". No one ever refers to me as "nice."
But yeah, this is probably a whole new griefing system, especially for those who have a harder time differentiating between "I'm negative repping your post" and "I'm negative repping YOU."

I'm using subliminal messaging to gain negative rep.

Rep can be turned off in your User CP.

Yeah, but since when have I ever done anything logical and intelligent like that? You must have me confused with Arcanaville.|
