Rubix he/him Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Wait... solution! Everyone downvote each other until our reputations have been inverted then we'll just use downvotes as upvotes. Someone's going to need to downvote Kobold about 20,000 times. *40000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think you're joking about inverting things, but... Also, if you're curious, the quota is 10 upvotes, 2 downvotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voidus Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 You think you're joking about inverting things, but... Also, if you're curious, the quota is 10 upvotes, 2 downvotes. So it would take approximately 15 days of everybody downvoting Kobold to get him to 0? 10 upvotes seems pretty slim for those of us who visit multiple boards. As a suggestion is there any way to limit the quota to a per-subforum basis? That way things like the social guilds, Random stuff and RPs don't generate dozens of upvotes but it gives a bit more leeway for people who jump around a bit more.

Chaos he/him Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 The goal is to have all reputation be more scarce and mean something. The exact number may need some tweaking, but the previous cap of "upvote all the things and you'll never worry about the cap" is not going to be a thing any longer.

Voidus Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) The goal is to have all reputation be more scarce and mean something. The exact number may need some tweaking, but the previous cap of "upvote all the things and you'll never worry about the cap" is not going to be a thing any longer. I just wish there was a way to incentivize upvoting actual theories rather than just amusing jokes, I feel like the main problem is that humor is upvoted disproportionately to actual hard work and effort. I feel like this will mostly just cause grief as people will probably still just upvote whatever but then hit their quota and give up for the day. Still be a good idea to test though I suppose. EDIT: Also I'm somewhat insulted that -9000 doesn't have a better title. Can't I be a chasmfiend corpse or something?

Mistrunner Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 10 is not nearly enough, I agree. I would be flopping over like that bunny much, much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathoth Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Like you said though, they are arbitrary internet points. If you are going to limit it so much you might as well have a like button. It would work the same way. Except having cool titles is way cooler.

Hey, Zucchini is one of our most hated members that we banned. We do need to add more negative reps. (No, you can't create an account to downvote bomb it to discover them.) We're thinking of adding Alaxel's many usernames to that list. If you ever get banned in a spectacular manner, you too might be a negative reputation level on the site!

I already take the souls of newcomers and bake spikes into cookies, how much more of a negative reputation could I possibly get? *Reminisces over actual negative rep posters* Ok, I still have a long way to go.

If you are going to limit it so much you might as well have a like button. It would work the same way. Except having cool titles is way cooler. The "like" system with no downvotes is, in my opinion, not a useful methodology for a reputation system, and I'd rather just remove the system entirely. Additionally, though it is possible for us to move to a "Like" system, that removes anonymity, which I think is also important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
