Most Repuation

[Strategical]

Hello MCM c:

I'm suggesting that in the members section, a tab showing users that hold the most reputation should be added. For me, if I want to do a deal, I'd rather do it with someone who's quite reputable, and that'd make it a lot easier.

I'm already wanting to remove the numerical value associated with reputation, because not all reputation is equal. The review itself, what is said about the person is incomparably more important than the fact that the reputation review exists.

I want people to value what is said about a person more than how many people they've gotten to click the "positive" button.

Valuing the number more than the review, and promoting that higher value by means of ranking people in the members bar based on that numerical value will undoubtedly lead to even more rep farming, and even more low quality reputation by people who honestly can't even be bothered to remember the other person's name or why they gave them reputation in the first place.
In other words, a completely worthless reputation system.

The reputation system needs a lot of work. An awful lot. I have a basket full of moderation suggestions on hand for the addon's development in the coming future, and a members bar ranking has no place in that list of priorities I'm afraid.

Well, What if the false rep is wrong like mine?

I'm talking about most positive rep. If your rep is wrong, report it.

While that is completely true, those who have the most reputation are most likely more trustworthy because regardless of the reasoning, people still took time out of their day to give them positive reputation. Plus, most people would at least check the top 2-3 of their recent reputations to make sure that they're actually legitimate.

A lot of deals on the marketplace currently require a certain amount of reputation. Rep gives people a sense of trust, as others have trusted that user before and did good deals. Plus, the majority of the people with reputation that doesn't represent them/their deals won't be the ones that are top-ranked. For example, let's assume the person with the most rep (I know this is false) is 200. The second person is 185, the third 178 and so on. 200 people wouldn't just give that person a positive rep for the fun of it. Of course there are tons of false positive reps given, but they're mainly from the people with 0-20 rep that are trying to get it from their friends to substitute legitimate reputation from deals.

I understand what you're getting at, but for me, and possibly some other users, it'd be a little bit easier to find somebody to do a deal with if I could see who's done the best.

I already made this suggestion and it got denied.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
