What do you make of the INGO reputation system?

[cornfused]

+1. It is a part of the INGO culture. Does it get some abuse? Sure it does. It also adds some fun to the daily interactions and probably keeps people coming back. INGO is about the only gun forum I now spend any appreciable time on. I say keep it!

I like it the way it is. Kinda adds a little something that makes the site stand out from others. I personally have never neg repped anybody, but I like that feature too.

Plus it still is used for good, when people actually make quality informative posts.

I don't think this needs micro managed, my

If someone is crying over the rep systems, they need a reality check...I can't read the classified titles in threads and nothing is being done about that.

What is the downside of leaving it the way it is?

 

[quicksdraw]

I like it because it allows me to give an extra "thumbs up" for an exceptionally good post, or for help "above and beyond". I've never given a neg rep and, to be honest, could give a rodent's rectum if I get one.

If you do get rid of it. Get rid of the Infractions and warnings to. I'm sick of looking at mine.

How is is being abused? The "I'll rep you if you rep me" love-fests are about all I've heard of.

lars used to sell rep in the classifieds

If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it!!
I belong to several other forums and the camaraderie generated by the Rep System makes this the most enjoyable forum to visit.

I haven't been here long, but I've given positive rep many times for posts that were very useful to me, or just straight up made me laugh out loud.

I've only given negative rep once, and iirc, it was for a completely uncalled for personal attack on a person. Attacking an idea is one thing, attacking a person is not.

Well said! and I agree, I would rep you but you know I'm out of rep for the next 24 hours!

For the ones that are abusing it, just take away all their rep and their ability to give it out. Easy fix, yes/no?

 

[indyjoe]

I would say if anything should be changed, it is that the weight factor of those with tons of ref should be lower. But I don't see a problem with it.

It is nice to occasionally get a thanks for some post that people enjoyed.

I was very very hurt the other day by the rep system. I was so bothered by it, I could hardly focus on my drive home from work. I don't know where to turn.

It broke shortly after Scutter{a mod} posted those "lets have a rep orgy" threads a long time ago

 

[rmabrey]

I dont think its being abused, we just say a lot of rep worthy things
