Petition to bring back neg rep.

Recommended Posts

The state of this forum is probably the worst it has been since I can remember. I started visiting this site around 06 and finally joined in 2010. 2010 didn't scare me off and wasn't anywhere near the toxic troll fest this place is now. Back then we had the ability to neg rep someone which helped to somewhat maintain certain standard on this board.

I understand this site generates revenue and any clicks are good clicks so having mods ban people left and right isn't in Igo's best interest. I ask that you please bring back the ability to neg rep someone so the members of this forum that actually care about it can help regulate this place to help maintain a respectable level of content.

What is neg rep going to do? If there isn't some type of threshhold to get banned because a user was neg-repped enough...whats the point?

In fact, I would argue the opposite. he whole pie/beer/starbucks/poo/eggplant system is lame. It really means NOTHING and doesn't provide any value to anyone.

 It reminds me many years ago at some leadership training event I went to. The guy on stage was talking about positive reinforcement. He said something to the effect of if someone does a good job, to reply, " Great...one point for you". But the "point" is meaningless. There was no prize at the end for accumulating "points"....but it made simple minded people feel some sense of accomplishment.  In the end, it was as meaningless as pie, or neg rep. 

 

Same here. There is no prize to get pie. Members total pie as a ratio to their posts means nothing. They can post no more or no less than anyone else. Same with neg rep. So long as there is no reward for getting pie, or penalty for neg rep...its all meaningless except to the simple minded.

I agree i was sad to see the rep system go. It made it easy to tell who the obvious trolls were 

what it did was make it easy for stalkers like the 2 i have to ruin a members rep. Not that I post insightful stuff, but i don't troll. These dudes poo me over and over because even though i never called either out by name, i shared a different opinion and their ego just couldnt take it. Now, anything i post gets poo ( and if neg rep was here, that also) simple because of my name and not the content of the post. THAT is why neg rep was removed. It was then, and would be now...just another platform for people to try to silence those they disagree with.

Graphics would be cool like iPhone style-- 

Poo flying across the screen on a face,... fat boy eating pie,... Im not even suggesting what happens when someone gets the D--- maybe that Dallas pic everyone keeps floating around,... ha.

Probably take up too many resources and effect load times. Cool thought though.

Problem is the majority of posters do little but criticize and blame the team and personnel in every  thread. Anyone who posts anything positive gets jumped on like a pack of jackals. All neg rep would do is allow the critics to neg rep any dissenting opinions so this board becomes the most depressing place to visit.

More moderation, less tolerance and some/more time off for trolls and A-holes might work.

This place hasn't been moderated properly in years.  No offense to the mods, its just not expected or allowed anymore.  Don't know which.  Kinda sad really.  This was the greatest NFL fan forum on the net.  Now it just kinda, "is".

why should it not be? Did that poster raise a topic or opinion you dont like? That thread is on top for a reason: People react. I mean really, do you not understand how the internet works? If you dont like it...dont reply! Its on top because people reply! That makes that post a good post because they made a post that generates activity. 

Agree with the topic or not. That poster did nothing but raise a point or opinion. What is more troublesome is you as the OP of this thread seem to point to it as an example of why we need neg rep. Because....he said something i dont like....so ....teacher....ban him.   Really?  You should get neg rep for expression your opinion that it is wrong other posters DONT get neg rep for expressing their opinion. Can you see the irony???
