Remove the reputation system?

[Norska]

It can get a bit annoying when all you did was buy some BTC and you somehow have to write a paragraph on how amazing it was

I'd prefer having to write something bigger rather than being able to leave a 5-word reputation. Having the character threshold helps to prevent such reputation, not always but it plays a small part.

At some point this summer I’m going to do a little experiment. I’m gonna try and get 100 reputation in a single day by doing small deals.

Fuck the rep system, it's ruined the site from 2015 and blocks me being honestly toxic to kids. It just gives people an opportunity to fuck with my rep for me being toxic. Like really? Getting a neg rep for calling someone a twat?

Trust me I know my argument sounds shit but really, if I can get my 'sales' tarnished for calling someone a twat we may as well make the site family friendly pg clean.

Another stupid example? I neg repped someone in 2017 for a very valid reason, 2019 they neg rep me after returning to the site for being a 'crappy person'

How many people on here believe that the site would be better off if the current reputation system were to be removed? I for one miss the days before this system was in place where you had to go out of your way to figure out who was reputable. Along the way you got to interact and meet a lot of people and potentially have a conversation with them. Today, people farm the reputation system and force newer users to do what they want because they lack a high number next to their name and it’s inappropriate.

Someone should create a site to rate a mcm user BUT requires verification, not just "X requirements", like actually verified by whoever runs it. Dumb idea, easily abused, but seems interesting..

+1 its literally just a number that represents how reputable you are and nothing more. Even then it doesn't even mean you're reputable because you could just be farming it from doing free stuff etc. For me its kinda hard to even get things like vouch copies these days when im more reputable then some people with a higher number than me. I got vouches from some super high rep people on ere and to some people i'm not considered reputable because of a stupid number.

you'd rather do more work to get a transaction/deal done?

Perhaps in order to receive reputation a Mod would have to approve it and people would have to put real proof not some random picture so the rep will submit.

Then it would be exactly like the scam reports . Everybody would just stay at the same amount of the reputation.

I can implement this into the Rift Marketplace.

I wouldn't trust that retarded rift thing even if the most trusted members used it lol

It's more than just the coin. It's still part of the ecosystem of other Rift servers and PayPal/BTC can still be used in the marketplace.

The servers came before the coin, not the other way around.

couldn't care less

I've always thought that leaving reputation because someone calls you a name is pretty low. The people who write these aren't doing it to warn other users that you might be a potential risk to deal with but instead it's just to spite them.[DOUBLEPOST=1559149313][/DOUBLEPOST]

I can say from experience it wasn't that much work. It was pretty easy to figure out who was reputable and who wasn't.
