Stop over powering rep

[Sohan]

Hey,

I think you guys need to fix the rep system!

I had +2 rep points, and I made 1 post, and 1 guy disagreed and negged me. Now I'm -1112 points! BLOODY STUPID!

It will drive new guys away.

i like the rep system personally

I like the whole idea of the system, but when 1 user can over power every one, it's kinda annoying and unfair.

Also, if I was a complete new user to the forum, day 1 etc and I got negged like that, to be honest I would of left.

It feels embarracing posting with 20 odd red dots coming up :P

Also, thanks to every 1 who repped me to get me into green :) I will return the favour! :)

[=T Bone=]

In for the trade??

:cool:

[Purostaff]

I agree with the OP. I have 8 ppl repping me over the past 4 months (I read a lot via search rather than posting). Anyways, I was negged by this guy last night over a useless comment he posted in this thread: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?p=97706601

But yea, 1 neg against 8 pos = red with -57 pts is kind of ridiculous. Just a little rant :)

I think it should be done like digitalpoint forums. There it costs to giv neg to you. So no abuse etc.

There should be scaling about how much neg they can give you according to the location of the thread.

Like, in the sports fourms there is way to much "ahhh, you like another team NEG". It should be if you get neg'd in a serious lifting forum then you go down more than say if you were to get neg'd on the sports forums.

Yeah I can relate. I just recently joined this site, and because of the way I dress in my profile pics, people negged me on some predjudice tip. Until all of that nonsense started I was really thinking this was a very good site, and was ready to start telling all of my friends and family to register. But with that kind of senseless activity in the forums, I wouldnt advise anyone to waste their time here.

It is a GOOD site aside from the predjudice and ignorant reps being handed down to people for mo good reason.

(My signature was completely different until the childish boys and girls on the boards hit my rep with all that bullsh***.)

Thats the truth. Reps on recharge

[jamesV1.1]

This may be a stupid question, but how exactly does the rep system work? I've given and recieved reps, but it doesn't seem to do anything. In the user CP it says "23 points total". Can someone explain?

Thank you

[jamesV1.1]

Sorry folks, Just found the FAQ!

Thanks anyway!

[Tripp Doogan]

Wow! I was in the red yesterday, and I made the above post before getting off line. Then I got on today and my rep was all green with a 6 beside it. (What does the 6 mean?)

I'm guessing someone here made my rep green....

Thanks.

Is there a way to tell who is giving you rep (bad or good)?

Oh ok, I got it now.

Cool, I can see who was real and who was predjudice now. Now I know who is honorable and who should be ignored. Not bad. I'm gettin the hang of this.

Thank man.

Thing is, hang or not, shouldn't happen.

I think the rep system is a nightmare for new users.

I think you may have put some folks off with the whole "keepin' it real" thing. Seeing your above posts, you seem pretty cool. Plus, I liked your thread about curvy women. :D

Click on "User CP" to see your rep.

I can understand that, but the thing is, for someone like me "keepin it real" actually means something. It's like being a man of honor, and always being tru with everything you do or say. A respectable person.

To everyone on the outside, it's just a phrase they know from hip hop songs and dumb videos.

I'm a real down to earth, humble kind of guy. Thanks! I love my woman, she's curvy. I had to make that thread for her (and for the self esteem of the rest of the curvy women that look down on themselves for being thick).

I THINK ITS not a big deal... why we so concern about dots ??? whocares just say what you think dont be a troll and you will be fine... but saying its embarassing is a lil bit overboard man get a life. you should be worrying about helping others and being chill intead of complaining about some numbers a stuff... its kinna immature in my world..
but yeah thats my point of view..
and remeber youyr overthinking this... get a life have fun train hard.... and hope the best in your future plans

[darkcami]

i like the rep system. Just waiting for someone to grace me with reps lol. But yeah i always like rep system on forums

[Sohan]

But when some people have xxx,xxx rep power, it's like a monoply. Also means don't get on the wrong side of them, or you won't make it back to the other side.

Is there a way to tell who is giving you rep (bad or good)?A 6 from zero would mean someone with over 6000 rep points hit you. :)

I love bumping greens to people who got off to a bad start and are about to hate this place.

People around here very rarely get reps into the thousands unless they have earned a reputation for being fair. That's just the way it is.

The mods can red rep ANYONE into the red for being an a**hole, and they do.

[Tyrbolift]

[Tyrbolift]

i like the rep system. Just waiting for someone to grace me with reps lol. But yeah i always like rep system on forumsI think you have to have 50 posts before your rep points can actually show above zero for you to pos or neg anyone.

[XAU]

Just join one of the popular threads like fireworks or Sea and in no time you will be +++! I'm here since 2003 reading and 2004 posting and still less than 200 and yet some members in those thread who joined couple of month back and they are 1000+ with no contribution whatsoever! Is it fair? I don't know but I try my best to contribute to this site regardless of rep power so stop whining guys! lol

[lifeguard_man]

im kinda confused about this system yesterday i was 2500 in the red now im 4500, how does that happen ?

To all you guys with loads of reps...

How did you do it? I want reps but im not willing to post loads of jailbait to get reps...

Don't stick to just one forum or area, either.

[-Ironside-]

Same thing happened to me on a debatable thread. I don't think you should neg someone when your speaking political differences. I have 2 negs and over 40 pos reps, I just came back into the green last month.

[99 Problems]

I still don't know how to give rep points.

[Tyrbolift]

I still don't know how to give rep points.First, make 48 more posts.

[spirit3530]

stay out of misc section, don`t act stupid, keep your head down.

Expect any smart@ss comment you make to be met with a barrage of negs especially if it isn`t funny. Don`t piss off a mod.

Most important.....
This is the internet...1 or 1million reps won`t help you get laid.

[mr_azz_84]

LOL, nobody has taken me back the red for atleast two weeks, i have set a new PB!

[raysmith]

Hey,

I think you guys need to fix the rep system!

I had +2 rep points, and I made 1 post, and 1 guy disagreed and negged me. Now I'm -1112 points! BLOODY STUPID!

It will drive new guys away.

~Sohan

When I first joined I found it was all the dweebs with rep rank of 2-6 negging me for no reason, I guess it made them feel cool lol. Needless to say now I waited for them to make an inappropriate post then negged them into the bottom of the deep red sea. :cool:

I suppose what goes around, comes around.

But for saying to a girl, don't get muscley, I get -1700ish from a positive :|

I don't have loads of reps, but 95% of mine were earned and given out in journals, specifically over 35 journals.

The Mod, Forge, has a rep offer for posters who keep a consistant journal in the journalling section for 3 months or longer.
This is a great way to break in the "green" around here, and work on some bodybuilding/health goals while you're at it.;)

If journalling and jailbait pics aren't your thing, the poster below has some excellent advice.:)


i give good advice in other forums besides the misc and get repped.

[Banana_]

Same thing happened to me, i got some positive reps when i posted my gain pictures so some guys were nice enough to give me reps for it. But then i suddenly got a negative rep of someone with a high rep power, and now i don't have like any reps anymore :( just because he was jealous ..

[Sohan]

Your plus 1 now :) I've gave you some rep too. Hope it helped.

Seriously though, the rep system here is messed - big time. It's just TOO overpowering.

On another forum I use, negs cost you the rep, and to get 1 green dot, you need 100 reps - very hard to get.

stick around a couple years. if you post regularly you will get rep. Not everyone is going to have +5000 rep ya know. the majority will be under 1000. A small group of +10000 exists and an even smaller non-mod group exist over 20000.

Settle down its forum reps man.

[Sohan]

I relise, but some of those people just neg for anything.

[partsRheavy]

My opinion on this reputation system thingy is that ppl are taking it too seriously and making some sort of irrelevant game/contest out of it.

Most people don't have 10 hours a day to sit (sedentary) in front of the computer.

I would structure the rep system differently to decrease its importance and put the focus back on the exercise/fitness topics that are the main goal of this site.

And, I would police the .misc section more strongly.

Well if I see some one in the red, i'll be honest I don't count there opinion as "strong" or "quality" as I would from some one with loads of green.

[Big_fuzzy]

Its a bunch of green and red bars?

Who gives a ****?

Be the person who doesnt care as opposed to the loser whos life revolves arounding some green bars, points, and a useless intenret status on a forum that represetns an activity not many people in the world give a **** about.

[Sohan]

Life don't revolve around it, but the green makes life better ey?

[MotorGUY]

lol the reps are funny, some guys with like 100 reps and up neg you because they feel like they have more power over the new people on the forum who know things but dont have the bars to prove it.

happens to me.

I made a RIP thread in misc about some murders, linking to the Sun news paper article. I thought I was gonna get negged in that thread for posting to the sun paper. ffs, unbelievable.

Neg #1. Posting pic of ronnie's GH gut

Ouch. Imo mods and admins shouldn't be allowed to neg. If a BB.com mod neged me, I'd honestly loose all loyalty.

Yeah. They've lost several hundred of my sales after that one. The mod who neg-raped me actually gave me a temporary ban at the same time. I messaged the admin after this and got no response.
