Does The Rep Work?

[Rasalom]

I was looking in the User CP because I was bored & had nothing better to do (Sad, I know) & noticed that JAC has a rep thing, I've used rep on other sites (If people like a post you make a lot you get +rep, if they don't you get -rep) & after 1 or 2 reps you have 16 points or so, but here I've got 4 +reps & 1 -rep & only a total of 9 rep points (Which is how many I had when I had 1 rep point a few weeks earlier) so I've said all of that to ask if the rep system is operable & if it isn't are there any plans to get it working sometime in the near future?

hmm, Im not really sure what it is + what the purpose is... I'll check into it and get back to you on that :P

i htink rep is a great idea as it helps admins detirmine who is a more trusted member or who is untrustwrothy / ban worthy

[Rasalom]

A what of power?

A what of power?

Banning someone for -repping you is an abuse of power. If they were also spamming/cursing/doing things that deserve a ban or something in addition to -repping you then I see no problem with it, but banning people because you can is an abuse of power, like cops arresting people for the hell of it. Sure, it happens, but it isn't right. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should, sometimes you just have to be the bigger person in situations like that.

I'm confused, where is it?

In the bottom left hand corner of each post you will see a little scale between the little thing that shows whether you're online or not & the report post button. Click the little scale of another person & you will be given the option of repping someone, positively or negatively & leave a little message & your name. Go to User CP & you'll be able to read any reps you may have, I'll rep you so you can see what I mean, just look in User CP, scroll down a bit, & you'll see the rep box.

Oooooo, that's pretty awesome. Sorry for the lame comment but I was just testing it out and then I found out you can't change it

EDIT: I seem to have 10 points or something of the sort, so how do I find out on which posts and how do I read the notes and stuff?

You do realise you're talking to me?
All I got out of that was a desire to ban Kristen again.

Yep.
Well, un-ban her, trash her thing by making a stupid avvy & sig, then re-ban her.

Nothing to be sorry for lol. XD

Probably 9 points. Just under the spot where it shows how many points you have, itll show whether you were + or - repped, red is - green should indicate + but I don't think it's working, so it's a gray color for +. beside that there will be the name of a thread, that is the thread where the rep comes from, if you click on it it will take you to the post you made that was repped. To the right of the name of the thread you should see the comment made by the person who reps you, it doesn't automatically leave a name, the person has to sign it, so people can anonymously + or - rep you if they so choose.
