Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt November 11, 2024
.Peter Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 I was just thinking about the bonuses of the rep system and had an idea.. What if to + someones rep it -ed yours... so configure it so if you register you start off with 5 REP and to rep someone it takes away from your rep and if you hit 0 you can't rep anymore until someone reps you.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Wouldn't that be an incentive to give away as little reputation as possible?
.Peter Posted July 19, 2010 Author Posted July 19, 2010 Well possibly... but I'd think it'd be more of an incentive to publish GOOD posts that will actually be useful.
bfarber Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Personally, I'd never rep a post if it take away my reputation points...

lunchbox67 Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 I don't like the idea at all. BUT, ... maybe ... if you - someones rep it -ed yours. That MAY keep people from just - people for the heck of it.

Abomination Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 I was just thinking about the bonuses of the rep system and had an idea.. What if to + someones rep it -ed yours... so configure it so if you register you start off with 5 REP and to rep someone it takes away from your rep and if you hit 0 you can't rep anymore until someone reps you. Does that mean if you -rep someone, you get a +rep? :D
shought Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Something like this would lead to 'I + rep you, you + rep me' faster than the system already in place, I think. Personally, I'd never rep a post if it take away my reputation points... Since you like your rep points so much, I + repped you :D (+ rep me back! :rolleyes:) :P ----- I think this could, in a perfect world (or within the boundaries of a perfect community), be an improvement. Having said that I don't think it'll be an improvement as 'giving money away' is a lot harder than 'giving monopoly money away' (and people would just stop repping other people in the hope that they get rep without having to give it away...).
