All together remove the rep system and replace it with a built in vouch system.

[Thisforumisbad]

Pretty straight forwards, so I’ll just get right into it. Rep farming is a bad thing, and many people are doing it to scam. My suggestion is to either remove the rep system, and replace it with a vouch system that can only be used if you’ve done a deal with the person OR give warning points to rep farmers.

rep is used to signify trust but vouches should be that. rep isn't that fair in the way that they can be farmed, vouches can't be farmed as easily. that's why i agreed to this thread

I agree with that. There are many nons on here refusing to go first because they have 50+ rep from giving away Hulu’s.[DOUBLEPOST=1545189277][/DOUBLEPOST]I could farm 100+ rep on this site in a month, yet I find it underly useless as it has no significant value like vouches.[DOUBLEPOST=1545189301][/DOUBLEPOST]Udderly*

Agreed

But what would be considered a deal. Giving away steam keys for rep is technically a deal.

warning points to rep farmers.

That varies. People like Counted farm reputation from selling tons of semi's.

Again, giving steam keys for rep is technically a transaction.

Not allowed to use rep as a currency.

A transaction is this : "an exchange or interaction between people."
Giving steam keys is an exchangea

I very well think you know what I mean.

I know what you mean, but people will always try to find a loophole, and in this instance thats a "loophole".

Literally what's the point of this? You want to rename rep to vouches? :rofl:

Do everyone a favour and stop caring about rep. If you believe it is so disposable, then don't use it to judge people. Use whatever else. Because yes, it is not an optimal system, but renaming isn't going to do anything.

Btw asking for rep is against the rules (specific rep). Getting rep as a result of giving a key or something isn't. That is where the issue lies.

Someone create a third party site for rep and verify every rep on there.
there are no problems with this don't question it

We aren't removing our current rep system to replace it with a deal-place system. It's been explained why a deal system won't work dozens of times.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
