Well, ranks are kind of fun, and neg reps, well... Are abused more often than being used right. I don't neg a lot myself because I don't see the use in giving out neg reps. =/

Hi there, I would first like to ask why This thread was left open when you clearly had plans of your own with no consideration for the members. That thread had a poll, as you can see the poll clearly shows that the majority of people want the system left the same, so you have either completely ignored that and hence not cared for what the members want. Or you have listened and chose to completely go against the members, which again is not caring for the members.
You are the moderators of this forum, this is not a business, there will be things that some people do not want but the majority DO WANT. Why do you feel the need to change something like this? I know that you as the staff have the overall say and what I'm saying has no reflextion on your actions but you are doing this for your personal gain and not for the enjoyment of the members.
If you ignored the other poll then you'll probably ignore this poll to, you don't have any interest in what we want so just go ahead and make your own minds up, we mean nothing to you.
I don't know. I think the staff just loves to argue over a month in a thread with ~20 or so pages just for fun, since none of us have anything better to do.
Keep this thread clean as said and if you blenderites want to bitch; do so in Blender. This is not guaranteed changes. Just choose one of the lesser evil-
hm, ok
i dislike both options so i choose option "none of the above"
Wait that was the whole problem with repwhoring and rep threads? Because you were afraid of negging?
For some on the staff that was the only problem with rep whoring. Unfair rep powers negging others with their powers.

613 at 100K or above.
110 at 500K or above.

Try dealing with 400 active members with a great portion of them abusing their rep either way.

It isn't going to stop rep whores. In the views of some, it just stops mattering since they won't have unfair neg power to use against others.

It is removing the main problems with rep power to begin with more or less.
Removing rep altogether probably won't be happening.
With the no neg plan, people won't complain about repwhoring because it can't affect them via neg rep repercussion. People can't complain about rep whorers because everyone has an equal chance to just rep whenever to whomever in this term.
argh...they why not remove rep then, then all problems would be solved since without negs it losses its purpose...argh

I would love to remove rep altogether. Removing the 'rep' in rep power makes it so that people can't have influence on each other by how much rep they have. Higher repper can't hurt/help users just because of their rep.
Here are some numbers:
Member #1 Rep: 193176 (With 761K of the rep already removed due to request) Posts: 26608 Join Date: 8/24/06
Current Rep Power: 920
Remove the 193 rep power and that puts the user at 727 rep power.
Member #2
But if you take one of the Repwhorers for example you will get something like this:
Rep: 2345012 Posts: 6855 Join Date: 6/26/07
Current Rep Power: 2611
Remove the 2345 from rep and that leaves 266 rep power.
Quite the huge jump between the 2 right? The difference here is even with all of the rep removed from Member #1 they rep for a decent amount. (mainly because of post count and I've been here for 2+ years now)
Where as someone who knows how to exploit the system can easily surpass Member #1 based on rep alone. And I'm hardly the example of an average member. What do you think the comparison is for someone who doesn't have huge post counts or an older join date? The gap grows even wider. Repwhorers know how to exploit the system.
i say keep it that same, but out of the 2 choices, the latter, neg rep is sometimes good where as some ppl enjoy having they're neg rep, and neg rep is sometimes useful when you really dislike/disaprove of one thing/post.
Also, I agree with Hollie. There's no way a majority or even plurality would support one of the new options if a third option of 'leave it the same' were offered.
Where did my posts go? It contributed because these are wrong options.
Basically these choices are shit.
Why?
Removing neg repping, you are removing our only way to express dislike at things people say on this forum. You are mods. You can delete posts if you dislike them. What can we do? All we can do is neg. Or flame. But the latter gets us in trouble. So I would say negging is the lesser of two evils.
Second choice, removing rep from the equation, well that just means more power to the post whores and and discrimination to newbies. There is no way to increase your join date unless you become Reznor
And then again, you'd get more people who are post whoring, meaning more spam for you Hiroshi to clean up. Enjoy.
Do you really want TWF to become the most powerful rep person on NF?
I disagree with this idea entirely, and I get negged more than I get pos repped. Removing neg is like removing the rep system entirely, without neg, pos is meaningless, as I have already thoroughly explained in that one thread in that one suggestions forum.
I don't neg a lot myself because I don't see the use in giving out neg reps. =/
