Apparently so, thought it was a bug or something at first so I reported it. Haven't heard anything back though.

Yea, that rep system is pointless, anyone can just reply/comment saying u "like" or "dislike" a post. Its totally fine for me if its really removed... /no1

I always thought it was pointless to make a post that just says, "I agree with you," or, "I disagree with you." The rep system was an easy way to agree with someone without taking up space with a mostly pointless post.

It was also (supposed to be) a way to suggest to people to stop posting useless things or doing lame trolling (Which was why I always -1'd anyone who said "I gave you -1." Way to miss the point...)


It's a shame we can't have nice things...

The Rep system works.

The only "problem" is stupid people who have extreme posts which multiple people dislike.


You don't see anyone complain when there's a post that has +20 likes do you? No. You don't. Because that post would have been written in an excellent way with good content and people like posts with meaning and good points.


The super-stupid posts by Droyd/Cydra were disliked a lot because they were retarded. Normally when someone doesn't like a post they will dislike it, this is normal.
See the big problem with it was that instead of giving Droyd/Cydra a warning saying "Hey, you're posting threads that are spam/trolling. Stop your shit or we will deny you posting-access."


That, would have worked. Hyping up someone to feel they are popular when they are really being hated and made a laughing-stock on a public forum by adding 10k likes to their account rep and challenging the other users to "see how long it takes to reach 0" is simply stupid.

Extremely bad judgment by whichever mod/admin did that.

Let me be the first to give you a -1 to your permanent reputation, in spirit, for no good reason at all.

You never would have made my rep 0 anyways. The GMs realized this and changed the rep. system. I am the cause of this change.


Actually every forum for each game has had problems with it in one way or another not just RO.

The cause of this change is heim/maybe some other higher CM not realizing why you were the only person massively not liked. And instead of doing something like telling "Hey Cydra, community obvioulsy don't like you going PostIng RanDOmmmm ThINGs like Thhis so either contribute with something or don't post".

Rep system wasn't super useful, but it was functional. Kinda funny to see it removed for the one person which didn't work for, but well, at least we can still up and minus posts to show agreement or disagreement. Since now it doesn't affect reputation, I would like to see the ability to post as many likes and as many dislikes as we want, without limitation ^^.

No.

What happened was that the CM's realized that "Oh -_-, we did something really stupid! Better remove everything and 'fix things' before they go further bad, redeeming us slightly in the process.".



What really happened is:

You're a person whom the operators of this forum saw that was getting some attention because your threads and posts were idiotic and were getting a lot of dislikes, they didn't realize that you are a stupid person; one operator thought he would be funny and/or smart and up your rep to ridicule the rest of the forum; This lead to you being disliked more than anyone on the entire forum with all members combined; Which lead to the operators going "oooh, it wasn't smart and/or funny after all", -_-; which is now your current situation.


I find it stupid that someone made this happen. I mean even if you have barely three braincells your common sense will kick in and you will think that "Oh doing that isn't smart, the consequences are unfortunate".



Seriously. You're the rebecca black of Warpportal forums.

False.

Kittens have evolved.
