Reputation -- Alive and Well!!

[hoax]

I use both for different purposes.



I use thanks for people sayin nice things about my pictures...or posting a helpful link.


I use Rep for someone who goes above and beyond saying something nice, or posting something helpful.

I think that they are two sepearte enities and used for their own purposes.

^^^^ Ditto!!!!!^^^^^^^

I only use rep points for the people I see being helpful rime and time again, or if they have that good of a point (it has to be very special not just a good post)

I like the use of neg rep points for the folks that say things that are really that nasty or dis-tasteful.

Iwould say keep the thanks and also do something with the rep for say sales or trading snakes within members on the site. Helps people pick out who's good and who isnt to deal with

Do you want to do business with a person that is a general turd?

Yes! I use both pretty often! However, I don't ever give bad reputation. I wouldn't mind if you turned off negative reputation, as is the case on every other forum I'm on. Also, I want the edit/delete post buttons too!

Like I have said I like the neg rep points. It helps keep people in line. After receiving a few neg rep points I changed some of the things I was saying, I like this site and want to be welcome. Neg rep points let the people know that what they are saying is not welcome by every one.

Thank you all very much for your input so far! As for the questions asked about edit buttons...that system will remain unchanged. We like to allow a small window of time (about 10 minutes) for a member to fix a typo, a slip of the tongue, or add a quick missed thought. BUT...we don't want members going back and editing a post in a conflict and then saying, "See, I never said that!" Not that most would do that...but enough would that it is a genuine concern.

Besides...it's hard enough to keep up with all the new posts. I personally, wouldn't have time to go back and read OLD posts on the off chance that someone had gone back and edited it to add something new. When you make a new post, it refreshes the thread and everyone interested in it will know you've posted something new and will be far more likely to read it than if you went back and edited an old post.

I always wondered why there was a time limit on the edit button

I never thought of it like that, now I totally understand why.

Thanks for all that you guys do. Please keep both systems as I use both quite often.
