Anti-Rep Whoring

[eek]

I thought the banning was the main control mechanism, well that and selective lobotomy

Selective? I thought and was told that CUK was a post-lobotomy support group.

Your doctor was wrong.

CUK is a pre-lobotomy support group.

That's the professional forums. Most people who post in general are definitely post-lobotomy .

Still got some rep left if anyone is keen.

Not me, I am not a hoe.

But if you really want to give me some +rep because you feel high respect for me then go ahead...

Will get round to you.

If we are going to have a rep system then it either has to be limited to 5 reps a day as it was when it first started last time, with a 3/4 day wait between repping the same person or be anonymous. Both will stop the blatant whoring now taking place by a particular poster. Alternatively ensure that postcount is not such a driver.

My view is that you shouldn't need to 'spread it around' - a 48hr gap between repping the same user would be better. When the system first came out, I used it occasionally to rep funny/helpful/interesting posts. But as only about 3 posters ever post funny/helpful/interesting posts I found, even after a gap of several weeks, I couldn't rep deserving posts. So started spreading it around to anyone who wasn't a complete knob. Soon realised that's what everyone else was doing too, so rep whoring becomes inevitable.

I'm just going to adopt the approach of I'll return exactly the rep I receive. This only applies to rep received from now.

How about adopting the approach, give +ve rep interesting comments, -ve for pointless one or to Russell?

I think rep should be entirely based on honour system, allow the person who gives it to specify rep range, say from 1-100.
