What Does Reputation Mean To You?

[Ham Ham]

Maybe the tinny rep gems are "pieces" of rep, and when you get many, you get a normal green rep. (I think)

 

[Ash]

It's sorta like that, I think.

I've been wondering the same thing myself /points to his Rep

 

[Herman]

Yeah, our rep points are shiny because we need something to be proud of that isn't a large number

 

[JetFangInferno]

Negative Rep: Usually I view these people negatively. However, I have had negative rep in the past for dumb reasons and that doesn't necessarily mean I am bad. Some mistakes might be taken too seriously and negative rep may result. Usually however, that is not the case.

Little Rep: People who are usually new at the forums and I just see these people as regular members.

High Rep: People with a whole ton of respect. I usually dislike these kinds of people because in many of my past experiences, those who went from little to high rep change dramatically. They suddenly turn into arrogant egomaniacs and I hate that.

Rep to me is kind of like a popularity contest but not necessarily. For example, I visit the forums everyday and I have been modelling for 4 years now. However, my rep is about the same value as most people at the Hive. This tells nothing at all.

Rep can't truly determine skill because sometimes you get repped for random things such as a cool avatar.

That's my two cents

 

[alfredx_sotn]

Negative Rep: Retards

Little Rep: Normal people.

High Rep: Really good people, or people who are overrated. (usually the latter.)

Fixed.

People with lots of rep have usually been long on THW. And they have seen a lot of crap. They are usually just tired. Look at me. I simply can't stand naruto shit, because it has been bothering me for too long, I have lost many friends to that piece of shit.

I am also tired of bad requests, people with no knowledge who demand much. I am not selfish in the real meaning of the word... I am just tired of certain things.

 

[Grish]

To be honest, I dont realy care much for the rep. but its when people offer to make models, *glares at HappyTauren* and demand rep for this. Why cant we put aside rep and help others out without rep demands. btw, how do I get rep?
[Edit] Well watya know, HappyTauren is on atm too. Ima go ask why he demands rep and if his post is still available.

 

[Ash]

To get help, one must be popular.

You can be helpful, but you won't get rep for it

 

[Ash]

Well, I got some rep from a tutorial I wrote, quite a bit from Wolvabid because of the join data and some rep off've people from reviewing maps and the like.

In all honesty, it's just getting lucky enough.

 

[alfredx_sotn]

I'm sure bytes on the internet make people happy inside.

 

[brad.dude03]

It's also a trust system. You can't be a total jackass and still get rep. Artists don't want their resources squandered aqway on some retard's hopeless project that'll never be finished, so they use rep to ensure that their work isn't going to waste.

I Wish that people didn't judge others by rep, as Abraham Lincoln said in the American history:
"All men were created equal"

This doesn't mean that you should be judged by rep, Its not right at all, just judged because someone has a lot of friends.

Its not right at all.

 

[HappyTauren]

Some people have lots of rep without friends. Pm me if you wanna know who that is xD

You're completely right. People have no right to be considered an asshole just because they piss everyone else off. They could have completely changed their attitude overnight, you know?

 

[Hakeem]

It happens sometimes.

This coming from the guy with a few rep.

I do judge. If you have very little rep, the odds of you actually producing anything good is low. It's possible, but not likely.

Actually, having few rep means little to me. It's those that have no or negative rep that I look out for. Those with a few points are just as likely to be productive members of the Hive as otherwise.

 

[alfredx_sotn]

I have little rep because I post meaningless stuff.

 

[-Berz-]

Rep gives me some sort of "boost" to keep doing stuff for wc3.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

There, that's why we can't get rid of rep. Rep pushes certain people to keep making their mods/maps/ressources.

 

[alfredx_sotn]

That's a pretty stupid reason for people to mod imo.

 

[HappyTauren]

No, but I want my spinning gems! I just love those gifs <3 <3 <3 EMO ALERT <3 <3 <3

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

That's not what I meant.

They don't mod because they want the gems at all. The gems simply encourage them to continue by showing that people like the project or even care about it.

I don't care about getting rep as losing it. Anyway persons english and way of talk speak for themselves not just some gifs under your name that show not yourself, it shows how long you have been here. Yes there is a date under your name, but not everyone spend same amount of time each day at hive.
Anyway as much as I saw, if you get very much rep you get mod status. When you get mod status, you start turning into a jerk. Power corrupts, I know for myself I am never going to be a mod, and I'm happy with it. Yes I have gone pretty much off topic, but there are some things that need to be said. If Hive continues to operate this way it will surely get closed. Mods get childish and play with peoples rep, or go nuts cause all the noobs that keep boring them all day. I do not mean noobs as in newbs, I mean noobs that don't care if the Hive gets closed they just wanna... I don't know what do they want.
My point is that Hive will get closed if it continues like this.
Again, back to the topic. You can see if a person is really good even from first 10 posts.
You don't need rep to be known or popular. Because rep is soo easy to loose it's just funny. Yesterday I got -4 rep cause one meaningless post. No rules I say! Yes there are rules for users about posting but none for the admins, mods and other. One guy gets (for example) -3rep cause crappy post, other one gets -12 cause black humor and so on and on. Point? With no rules for punishing users, rep can't get a true value.

Obviousness meter breaking. Dammit it's captain obvious! I need professor subtle to save me now.

 

[mokkil123]

i think of it more as a popularity system, so you can see who is something in the community

 

[alfredx_sotn]

What's "something"? Sounds scandalous!

?????????????? *sighs*

As I see it, reputation is kind of a thing you build up over time by gaining the the approval of your peers and making good stuff . But what strikes me is how little people are really punished and how stupid and Elitist people get onces the rep goes to there head and there rank sometimes. Ghan_04 is the example of a good apple, while there can be a few samples of bad apple when people become at large in the community.

Really, over all to me, I can't judge people on their rep, I hate the system.

I totally agree. The rep system is completely unreliable in judging a person on this site. Thank you for sharing your valuable and original input with us fellow users.

[StasMaN]

To say the truth , I don't really care about the AMOUNT of reputation

 

[Gilles]

Why is this still open? Why?

Mercy at last.
