View Full Version : Bring back rep!
Come on lads for a laugh, it will certainly make this place more intresting, less members will get bullied and it will be intresting to see whos respected.
I think it will incourage better quality posts, as that was what it was initially designed for.
I know it caused a hell of a lot of trouble but this time might be better...
What do you rekon, at least a trail?
Edit: can a mod put a poll up please?
Bring back rep?
Yes or No.

no, rep turned UCP into a big competition between who can get the most rep, and thats not what its supposed to be. I think post count says it all (with a few exceptions)

I could be intersting, but avent threads like this been made before and an overwhelming people have votied against it. Didn't it cause arguements?
Its just that UCP is like watching the grass grow these days.

I kinda agree with that last post of Jim.
However, is there anything else one could suggest?
There must be something else, rather than rep, aye?
Or maybe we could have rep only in the Chop Forums. Then if we like the picture a lot we could give a rep. It would be more fair than trying to put somebody elses rep down just because you don't like him.

well i wasnt around when there was rep ( at least i dont think i was ) so therefore i cant really vote yes or no, but i wouldnt mind some people explaining wat it is so that, if there is a poll, my decision could change

Rep is like seeing who'll be the prom queen -- it's strictly artificial and really only serves to draw attention away from the discussions and to the individuals. I don't think the place is boring at all -- if anything, it's better now because there's not the continuing battle of egos that causes more problems than it solves.

Not this again!! All I'm gonna say about rep is that ever since we got rid of it, people have spoken out more freely due to the lack of fear of losing rep in case someone doesn't agree with them. I vote keep rep off UCP.

lets try not to get this into a big arguement
even though rep is fun, it caused lots of competition and made
the forum go nutz.

worrd.
i was not around very often in the days of rep. all i can remeber is that i lost 1 point because i said someone was an idiot or something. rep was stoopid:( .
we dont need rep to recognise good posters. quality posts come from quality members, after a week, tops, any new member knows who has quality and who is a bullshitter.everybody else that has been around for long enough knows better than to trust a rep system.
it was , in theory, a good idea, that was perverted by some users into silly popularity competition.
EDIT- also, why the heck is this thread in the chp forums?

Remember why rep was removed?
It might be interesting, but it's not productive.
Heres an Idea; why don't we stop looking for something to pass the time and find something we might actually care about?

All bringing rep back will do is turn the majority of people into absolute brown-nosers, do we really want that

Its just that UCP is like watching the grass grow these days.
that was the best way of putting it i can think of.
as for a competition, there would be negative rep also, so less spam, and people would think about what they post before they do, and it would would sort of be a competition, but if everyone wants good rep, then the posts would be better
im not dead against it or dead for it, just somehwere in between
oh yeah and i had like whatever the base rep was, plus one, so i cant really say i want it back so i will have my old ocunt back :D
but what if it does come back, (which im starting to lean towards not brining it back) then everyone, even tje most senior members will start at the same spot

When this happened before, UCP was a lot less exciting. Nobody ever wanted to post anything controversial for fear of losing some precious rep. Posts just became watered-down.

so how about making only +rep?
i mean without the possibility to subtract it
