xkayleighx Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 apparently its how well we are at giving advice and constructive etc etc and generally how well behaved we are, i assume... so you can perhaps spot trolls or unhelpful people from a mile off? x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just.me Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Upon each post made by a member is a Plus and a Minus sign, bottom right, other members can either vote a post as a positive response to a thread or a negative response to a thread, should they choose to do so. It is not obligatory to vote a post but if you see a really good one then why not give that member a positive vote? If you see a crap one then you can post a negative vote.

just.me Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 It is open to abuse because if someone does not like you for whatever reason, they can go round just negging all your posts! So I would suggest we do not take it too seriously! *tells myself that* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hummm_mabbe Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 It is open to abuse because if someone does not like you for whatever reason, they can go round just negging all your posts! So I would suggest we do not take it too seriously! *tells myself that* I thought that too lol You can also set up a fake second account and big up all your 'main' account ... Maybe there is a limit to how many you can give any one user in a day /week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just.me Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 No there wouldn't be, they use the same system on the Answer Centre on eBay. And those who are not liked get negative responses on all their posts, even worse when there are cliques! That's why people should not take it too seriously *tell yourself that again Sioux*!!! ha ha Users are only allowed one account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillv Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I have to say, I do have niggling doubts about this reputation thingy. Sioux you are right when you say it shouldn't be taken too seriously, but it does concern me that people with already low self esteem will become paranoid that no-one likes them, or values what they've written. During an argument I can see that it will be used as a popularity contest, which could be quite damaging for an individual. It could also prevent people posting for fear or getting a negative response. Although similar to fb, the bulk of fb members are not those with mental health issues, unlike ours, who may find it harder to take it lightheartedly.

just.me Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Well sufficit to say my self-esteem is non existant. But I've to take it with a pink of salt or my head explode! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just.me Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 It could also prevent people posting for fear or getting a negative response. I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guntarded Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Well it is a good idea, one way of identifying blah posters or those attempting to cause trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just.me Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 That could be true Gun if those voting were impartial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElleB Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I agree with Kalico... it's hard enough involving yourself in posts and taking the step to be part of the community (especially when you're new) and trying to be supportive and offer advice and help. But to now be scrutinised? I say "scrutinised", but it just adds an extra pressure that can be interpreted negatively and sensitively. Then of course the popularity contest side is another to be considered. Doesn't sit well with me I'm afraid. But hey ho, s'just my opinion ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
