+Rep with 0 rep

And yet I bring up ANOTHER point. :P

Why should people with 0 rep (In fact, 80% of this site's users) give no rep to people they +rep?

Like on wc3campaigns.net, thehelper, and other sites using rep system, users with 0 rep should be able to add 1 rep to anyone when they receive help. At the moment it seems like if you are spotted by a high-ranked person on this site you get rep, otherwise...

Like, when I request stuff on the Requests forum I thank the guy but... There's nothing I can do I can't even give him a rep point I have 0 rep!

Would be better, honestly.

True that, even though rep is useless. +rep.

It was possible, but then the system was abused. When some n00bz got neg repped, they immediately re-repped each other to get the positive rep.

And this way the most loud and spammy users get more than people who work hard and help people on forum.

Anyway, this rep hunt is seems so silly to me. Why actually you need it for?


I like the way how they rejected the rep system on maps'n'mods :thunbsup:

Yeah, spamming, flamming and unhelpfull members such as myself has alot of rep for no reason, it makes no sense.

I don't even see a reason why we should have had rep in the first place, I don't see you getting any rewards of such by reaching a certain number of reputation. Reputation is just causing such posts like this to happen... :emote_huh:

i guess its the feeling knowing that you help'd someone?

But someone can have 0 rep, but 50 users of Hive gave him +rep.

I agree. We, users with 0 rep, can't do nothing other than write Thanks.:emote_surprised:

And when some people see someone with rep 150+, they always think he did something great, right?
It's the same with users with 0 rep, but this time some people think he or she is just a noob, becouse he/she has got 0 rep.

Mmm, I don't know... This is just confusing me.:emote_huh:
EDIT: I realised I can't give 1 rep either...

I think reputation helps people identify who's helpful and who's not.

In my opinion, rep is worth nothing but commenting. It's just a convenient way to send people thanks, or advice, etc..

Rep is usefull, it helps you distiguish who is helpful and skilled and who is not.
Im not talking about the rep showen im talking about the recieved rep history, its a good indication on who has helped alot of people.
But in order to avoid rep spaming and "rep me and i rep u" comments i think the 50 rep minimum is useful.
Keep it as is IMO...

I have posted a suggestion regarding reputation in Ralle's To Do List topic.

Given reputations would show up here. The moderator would have to re-view the thread and decide if the reputation was well-deserved. I can do this, if other moderators feel too lazy to do so.
The idea came when I read this thread.

Additionally, I have another similar suggestion to the World Editor Help Zone. There are many questions there, and why not let the thread author/WE Help Zone moderator choose the best answer to each question, which would grant a small boost to reputation (with a comment), and would grant a button to automatically jump to the chosen best answer. If the thread author makes more than one question, the best answers to each question are also shown. I myself don't know exactly how this would work, but it'll encourage people to help others.

This would put so much work on moderators Rui.

Too much work,

the system works as is and everyone can give rep (aka say thank you) it just doesnt count...
And mods have a hard enough job already!

The thing is, it really isn't very accurate. People who post lots of art / models etc. get a lot of rep.
