Some ideas for the rep system

NOT ME COMPLAINING ABOUT REP

2 ideas to prevent "hit and run minus-repping" and -repping multiple people quickly:

After giving a rep, you must wait 24 hours before you can turn it off.
After giving a rep, you must wait 45 (?) minutes before you can give someone else a rep.

This should stop people who turn on rep, reptroll, then turn off rep. Although I have done it before, I think it really is annoying, as its been done to me before.

For the second one, you have to wait 5 hours to give rep. So that's already been done.

Re: Some ideas for the rep system

I was confused ok? I thought you meant anyone other than yourself, when I say that I mean like repping someone and waiting like 5 hours. I didn't know you meant you repped someone and you want to rep someone else, but you have to wait 45 mins.

That's not exactly apples and apples. More like apples and steak.

I was just thinking what it'd be like to eat steak with apples, but apparently it does actually kind of exist.   I didn't mean to suggest that something as trivial as reputation on a forum is comparable to being raped, but that the general idea of "Stop caring and it doesn't matter anymore" isn't a good one.   Although, if he cares a lot about his rep, maybe the two do start to become comparable.

Careful Twipply. You wouldn't want a warning for being off topic. Ok then. I declare this thread un-derailed.

I suspect a majority of my posts are only slightly related to the topic.

By the way.
Do everything calculusguy says, his ideas are totally genius.

Re: Some ideas for the rep system

the best way to fix rep is to stop caring when someone clicks a meaningless button.

Re: Some ideas for the rep system

Even though rep is meaningless, these are pretty good ideas. Like it or not, rep is important to certain people of this forum and it's important to cater to everyone.

Re: Some ideas for the rep system

I think the best idea would be to have a limit for how long you have to wait before you can enable your reputation.

For example: Random noob turns on reputation to -rep someone, then goes to turn their rep off. All of a sudden random user is enraged because he cannot -rep the other person back.

But is randon noob turns on rep to -rep someone, then can't turn it off, it at least gives the random user time to -rep them back.

It would also prevent (as mentioned above) -rep trolling, then turning off your rep.

Re: Some ideas for the rep system

So... let me get this straight... You complained about rep for 3 months, did countless hit and run reps to people, and now you tell us not to complain?!?

The way your mind works is very odd...

Anyways though these ideas are kind of good. It would be nice to have them added.

Forgot something?

@Failgirl:
The problem is,

For example: Random noob turns on reputation to -rep someone, then goes to turn their rep off. All of a sudden random user is enraged because he cannot -rep the other person back.

But is random noob turns on rep to -rep someone, then can't turn it off, it at least gives the random user time to -rep them back.

What if the random user cannot get on for a few hours, then random noob turns rep off, and he still rages?

@Master
(Not flaming)
According to my last check, you did HaR (hit and run) -rep me once.

@RPG
Thanks!

@Twipply
Do you really mean it?

So you want to enable revenge repping, which is considered rep trolling.

Well no not really, but at least this way it will be harder to get away with hit and run rep.

Though personally my reputation doesn't mean a lot to me, so whatever happens... meh...

Re: Some ideas for the rep system

Yes. "meh".

But don't forget:

and it's important to cater to everyone.

Re: Some ideas for the rep system

Rep should just be disabled completely. Why should we care about the little number that hides beneath our post count? Because it's pretty? Great answer.
