Remove entire reputation system

[Matt D]

Hi MC-Market,

I've been on this market almost since it began back in 2014 and this entire site has changed. It's no longer an opportunity to find quality work as the quality services are hidden inbetween these "highly reputable" community members. I used to be a really active user as I could find people that wont scam me out of every flipping dollar I own, now people are worried to use their site as what would be a "reputable" user is now just everyone that begs their staff on their server, every time they talk in discord/skype. It's worthless. Now let me get a couple examples,

^ How is that even reputation, that's just telling people the kind of person he is, it is completely irrelevant to whether he can provide a good service. Secondly, anyone that has more than 50 positive reputations is clearly begging that even dollar that leaves their paypal or enters, they must be given a reputation, just as a word of warning, reputation points aren't candies in a toffee box, you have to at least do something for them.

I had a small opportunity to discuss with Mick what his opinions were of the current system and here is the chat log. He understands that it needs changing.

My overall judgement is.

- Scrap it

or

- Enforce new guidelines & make it a rule not to beg for vouches/reputations.

Cheers.

(I'm aware its already been posted before, don't remind me, its important since Mick has agreed that the system is poor too).

I Have no clue why people are making a Huge deal about this, the system doesnt force you to trust the user or go first or whatever, you either trust the rep on his profile or ignore his reputation lol

Because people give false reputation. If the whole system is fucked and false, it shouldn't be a thing at all.

People will still give false reputation even without this system. People are all going completely ballistic over this system and completely forgetting this was a thing before this system.

Lets say the rep system was removed, what stops people from posting fake vouches on profiles lol?

The rep system encourages false rep.
Vouches on profiles can be removed by the .
Vouches on a thread can be answered by the op and be explained. And it's also more easy to remove it if it's something unrelated to the service he is offering. If person 'a' will de-vouch person 'b''s thread, person 'b' will care less about de-vouching person 'a''s thread as a revenge. But in the rep system, it's different. It's like a revenge fight.

Reading this shows that you are only trying to find excuses to defend the other ways to add vouches and attacking the rep system lol
But i guess we all got different opinions

Removing the reputation system is not a good solution to the problem, it will still make it difficult to tell how reputable someone is. Our current system needs improvements made to it, but they are not so significant that the entire system should be removed.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
