You can't disagree, what I stated is the INTENT of the feature (here and as it is implemented elsewhere). The requirement to leave a comment when giving a negative rating is to that it makes giving a negative rating additional work so that positive feedback is easier to give.
Yes, it most certainly does get abused as an easy insult tool. You essentially get to send a nasty anonymous PM, but that can be done while giving a negative OR a positive rating. The question was with regards to why negative rating was specifically singled out with the requirement to enter text when positive feedback just requires a single click.

PK, this is the first time I can really say that I have respected you. If you had rep, I woulda given it to you for this lol.
I'm only ladylike when compared to my sister.
Ah, but I DO have rep, and I can still gain and lose rep. But now nobody can see it but me...

Those that are "Hahaha look at me and how witty I am! I'm also part of X and Y cliques, would you like my latest soufflé recipe?" are at the top. UniqueDragon is at the top because s/he owns and is a forum Legend. Now, PK deserves to be up there as well. IMO he has contributed guides, time, zaniness, some oddball wisdom. Pretty good stuff overall. It's just...you know, a popularity contest with no visible reward. I'd rather be known ingame for the help I give others than for some rating here. And yes, before you bring up the Rep Padding thread I posted in, that was mostly to just bump as many people up/down as I could in a limited time. Sadly, you can only add/remove rep a limited number of times a day so that's useless. Anyway PK, you're right again... |
And I don't think part of any clique, I'm like Groucho Marx... any group that would have me, I don't want to belong to.

PK's rep size varies. In warm climates it can be pretty big but with enough of a chill or a breeze it doesn't seem nearly as impressive.

Let's just say that my Rep is normally extremely below average in size. 
BUT... I'm what they call a GROWER! 
If you turn off your rep, and I give you rep.....does the universe implode...or would that be explode?

Nah, I've had the rep meter off since day one, but I still get reputation comments and a nice numeric value of my current rep.... If I bother to look.

The universe just hides inside my profile, of course. I can't say I envy it, it's SCARY in there.

The nice thing is, because ME repping someone is worth so much, I've been going around repping the folks whose contributions to the game and the forums have been long proven (at least to me).

Turn it back on. I didn't get to give you enough good rep.

Here's all my most recent comments, if anyone's curious:
Negative:
KKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNN
Mwa HA! Your rep may be off, but you can still get dinged down! ... sorry, had to do that. - Chase.
Jerk! 
(replying to my post comparing myself to Steve Martin)
just trying to lower your rep so you're not #1 (so POLITE about it! almost sounds like an apology!)
Positive:
I like this new less-sarcastic less-condescending you. Please, keep it up.
Evertime you mastubate god kills a kitten. KITTENSLAYER! (so that's positive? k...)
You consistently amuse me.
Just cause you're funny!
Part of the problem is there are hundreds of threads to potentially rep rate you from.
Neutral:
Kinda being an attention *****?
I need more funny ones dammit!
Quote:
You can still LEAVE rep even if it's turned off. It actually does still add up to my "score" and I get the comments. Just no one can see it but me is all.

I just stick to posting in the stories and lore section where nobody sees my posts.
I was thinking I) first but then I'm quoted in PKs sig so I can't very well do that. As for the rep meter. It will balance out in the long run. If having the rep meter turned off since you want all forumites to be equal you should get them to remove post count and titles to. I'm leaving mine on but I'm hardly a someone that get mixed up in controversial threads.

This system should be made so that rep can only ever be given positively as giving negative rep is basically a way of saying "You suck", only within the rules of the board.

I would actually like to know why I got the bad rep, I've seen people abuse a rep system like this before, and most of the time, it was pretty childish.

ROFL! At least one person is scrolling thru dead threads looking for things to ding with neg rep. I just got one on a post I made a couple months ago. How sad is that? Someone needs to get out of their parents basement and get a life cuz I'm certain I've offended people a lot more recently than that.
