I think it's a great idea. I wish Pops could change the title of this thread so it looks more like a suggestion box than a bitch session, cause now this thread is getting somewhere....

I leave for a couple days and FDD has hit the road and there's a bunch of wieners running the board now.

IF it wasn't for all the people crying about unfair bans and such everything would be fine. How about people learn the rules and get over their bans.

And there is a difference between a joke and really harassing someone.

IF you don't like what someone says report the post and A Mod will review it. What is so hard about that?

Iv had balzac on ignore for awhile, but when you quoted him LRS his post shows up..
fixing that lil loophole would make it much easier to ignore folks you hate...

Or, to avoid people abusing the negative rep, after a certain level? Maybe not paid membership but at least the guys that earn the rep (both rep bars if that happens) and are consistently coming back to contribute to the community then they should have that power?
Someone would really have to hate someone to give someone negative rep repeatedly, especially since they have to spread rep first.

Negative rep will put an end to the rep whore trolls and adding a dislike button and making it so that if 10 members dislike the post, it will go hidden, with the option of viewing it for someone who does want to read it.

if they give everyone neg rep power i'm so outski.

that shit gets hella abused. (what else do you think the folks who have multiple accounts and hella-rep themselves do in an "everyone gets neg rep power" system?) (<-again, if you're an 'honest' user you lose)

i won't stick around to put up with unsigned :finger:'s from trolls. at least now, if someone wants to tell me to go fuck myself, whether they choose to do it in public or private, they still have to sign username to it.

How about, you need 200 rep points before you can give negative, and from then on, you can only give as much neg as you have positive? We can all start over on rep points.. lol

People who abuse neg rep should get banned, plain and simple.

I like the dislike button idea, that way if someone dislikes a post they don't have to see it again, and if someone quotes it then it just shouldn't show up for the person that disliked it. Also like that if a certain number of people dislike it then it gets deleted or an infraction is given.

OO! Maybe, just maybe, if we can get some mods under control and trust our mods to not abuse it, then if a person gets an infraction that could be in a sense negative rep, each infraction you get more rep taken away and after you reach 0 you are suspended for X amount of days, start over and next infraction or offense is banned?

Like I said, make it so a person needs 200 rep points before they can give others a negative.... if someone has that much time to create an account and gain 200 rep points to frag someone, they are going to be abusive in other ways long before they reach 200 points. I do not believe that the ability to give NEG rep to be given to any new account. It should be earned. That way, the community can help police it's own.
