Somehow We have a "reputation" system for normal members! Will we be keeping this?, Is this a mistake? and when did this happen (incase it wasn't just now)
 
RE: WHOA!

It's only for spelling and grammar. If you see someone tip1ng liek tis, give them a negative. Alternatively, if you see someone typing very well, give them a positive.

People who abuse this system for other purposes will be banned.
 
RE: WHOA!

How do I use it? Is it like the old one when the forums were new or has it changed?:)
 
RE: WHOA!

Click on the member in questions profile, and click, "Rate". Rate them on their Spelling and Grammar :).
 
RE: WHOA!

No, you wouldn't be the only one, but this one is strictly for Spelling and Grammar only. I've already seen some Reputations that are just goofing around. :/

dmaster out.
 
RE: WHOA!

Honestly, this is the single worst idea ever. I already see people who tiep liek diz getting +1's...
 
RE: WHOA!

This seems kind of weird, but I still like it. ;)

This will help people spell better with more practice for a spelling test. =)

Link me and I'll ban them.
 
RE: WHOA!

This seems like a bad idea

Nothing better to drop a grudge by giving the other person a negative rep...

Pretty soon this will turn into war. People might give others negative reps and not state the real reason why

Well, the poster of this thread has a -1 from Yearly Lump Wages where he says: "I can rep?" :F Nothing much else to say about this idea if it escalates.

RE: WHOA!

I kind of like this idea, though it does have its drawbacks as Sweet Dawn stated.
On one hand, it will encourage members to check there posts for mistakes, otherwise receiving a bad rep. But then.. there is the point that n00bs will start giving reputations out randomly for no good reason...

So I'm a bit on the fence about this whole reputation thing. :/
But, it could work.
Less n00bish talk = Happier Members.
 
RE: WHOA!

I agree. Let's leave the questionable idea alone until about 2 weeks later, when we may have to give up because a bunch of n00bs will abuse this thing.

But I like the idea of correcting someone over grammer/spelling. In a way, it's constructive criticism :). For one, the poster obviously realize that he's typing horribly.

And that what we need to watch out for. Otherwise, let's go for this system.
 
RE: WHOA!

Hmm... WPM has someone else to ban. TailsLuver9191 just marked off Darkrai for no good reason (TailsLuver9191: You're a meanie! (What's that supposed to mean?)).
 
RE: WHOA!

Now wait a minute, It's going to take some time for everyone to get used to the way this works, so I really wouldn't like to hear all this negative talk about it.

Abusers will be warned, and soon everyone will know exactly how this is supposed to go; so don't sweat it.
 
RE: WHOA!

That's good to hear. The staff might need to be really quick on their toes with all the members that are active every day
 
RE: WHOA!

Once people understand they will get banned for abusing it, we won't see that very often. It's only been up for a few hours. That's hardly enough time to call it a bad idea.
