I agree, they have this facility on another board I visit and some people were getting nasty remarks posted which upset them.

Not a huge fan of this at all.

Do you mean the data was made public too?

That's not good

I think we really need to wait and see how they set it up in the end - That's when we can judge it.

But I don't see how it can be fair

Even if you can only leave positive feedback and not negative, it's still not fair.

One poster has made 50 posts and all have been fantastic - They get reputation of 50

Another poster makes 1000 posts, 500 have been good but 500 have been downright nasty - they get a reputation of 500??

OK....Ive just notice again. You can't untick the button when judging a post. It can only be rated good.

Thing is, this system would only work well if everybody used it regularly. If someone posts a good message, with good advice. If nobody voted on this message it wont add anything to the posters reputation. A user could post a string of good advice, and if nobody bothered to vote. We would still be in the dark.

Alternatively. Get a few friends on this system together voting on each others messages. Then we could falsely be led to believe that they have a good reputation.

I really don't like this feature!!!

But as far as you know sra555, will it collect IP's?

on a seroius note tho, after the recent post in the arms about the site losing its heart, I think this may just add to its downfall, I think its something that really needs serious reconsideration before people turn away from the site, no one wants to be in a position where others have such easy access to a system where they can put ya down in a second

I know what you mean rush, and people can put me down as much as they like. I'd rather it was in public though.
