Re: Reputation System Scrapped
 

I'm since been told the abuse was in giving multiple negative ratings to one of the members by using aliases.

I'm kind of surprised that a new member has any rating power at all, actually.

Not exactly how it worked, but let's just leave it be :)

Ok, I suppose Jason and others won’t be so happy that I’m going to add my 2 cents to what should be a dead subject, however I never really understood what we were supposed to be doing with the reputation system. It seemed really complex. I’d like to think I’m a fairly intelligent guy, with poor spelling skills, however the two values just didn’t seem to correlate and I know that I wasn’t offering feedback on most posts. Not because they were poor posts, but because it just didn’t seem necessary.

Oh well. If there were a more simplistic system available through your BBS software, could that be implemented at a later date? People game systems which are overly complex. There is less opportunity to game a system which is simplistic beyond belief.
