Reputation: 1 | | | Rep and You for dummies So i just recently joined the site and in the past few days that i've been browsing all i'm seeing everywhere is "nice nice, +rep'ing you" and "if you thought this was good just +rep me" blah blah blah. I'm also seeing a lot of "Wow this guy is just a reposting rep leecher please delete post ZOMGZ"
If rep is so important to everybody and leechers are really so terrible then why not just add some kind of minus rep button for reposts and the retards out there who can't seem to figure out what thread goes in what forum?
I'm not entirely sure how the whole rep thing works but it appears to add rep to the poster immediately, even though it asks you to provide a reason for repping? So if the mods aren't even looking to see why people are being rep'd then it's clear the minus-rep would have to have some restrictions, such as not occuring unless a certain threshhold of 'minus-rep' is passed? | Donate to remove ads, get your "DONATOR title, and get access to the MMOwned community's elite Shoutbawx.

Reputation: 12 | | | Elite users have a button like that........
They have it though because they are trusted and that they have contributed.
They only -rep when they think its right.
Not for reposts. |

Reputation: 1 | | | I know it would be abused i was just suggesting that maybe past a certain number of -rep a person gets for a post from each individual IP address then it actually goes into effect, such as reporting somebody for being AFK in a battleground. |
