Reputation Amounts

[RTG]

So many people in the community including myself do deals constantly, with some people doing 3 to 5 deals to even more a day. With all these deals we do, we are only limited to 3 reputation a day and I believe that is to little. I believe that, we should be able to give more reputation a day, and this should be done by allowing Supreme Ranked people access to a couple more reputation a day or make a secret requirement like the (Private OG Section). I do not have a set number in mind, but the amount of reputations you can leave now is to little in my opinion.

Another suggestion would be, for people to file out applications that would allow them to leave as many reputations as they would like if there business pertains to it. If people were to abuse this, moderators may punish you by removing you from this feature and providing you with warning points permanently.

These are just my opinions and I'm always open for any input on anything!

Thanks

RTG is a rep farmer and look at him.

I do a lot of deals.

This is a big problem for true daily users of MCM. I have multiple on-site businesses that attract many customers per day, and so most days I'm left with a backlog of customers who I need to give rep to -- just yesterday I had eight people come to me to buy a game, and a few people come to me asking for a loan. That's going to take three days for me to give rep to all of them. I bought my Supreme rank because it was advertised to "daily users" of MCM, of which I intended to be, but this is one of the very few limitations that severely affects my abilities to do business here on MCM.

This problem affects people who run a loaning service and other services especially strongly. If, for example, I start out the day with a few people wanting to buy games through me (let's say 3 customers for the sake of argument), I will give each person a positive rep for a successful deal. Then, towards the end of the day, someone comes to me with an urgent loan (see BucketOfSloths asking me for $180 a few nights ago because he needed it for his Supreme cart). I cannot give my loan to this person until I get my rep limits lifted, as it's commonplace for loaners to leave neutral rep on whoever has an active loan out with them (which helps prevents exit scamming).

Furthermore, I suggest that this specific issue could be remedied by allowing unlimited neutral rep per day. Neutral rep does not negatively nor positively affect any user's ability to do business, as it only serves to provide information to any other user considering doing business with the user in question. Maybe I'll make my own suggestion thread later to try to remedy issues in the loaning community, but I may as well piggy back off of this thread for the time being. I know there have been suggestions in the past to allow a "current loan" button or "sticker" on a user's profile but it was denied for the reason that "neutral rep seems to work well for this purpose" -- except it doesn't, not in it's current state. Mick, I'd love to hear what you have to say about this, because this is a real problem that myself and other loaners run into on a daily basis.

The reason for the limit was to prevent people abusing the system by giving out too many positive or negative reputations per day, but allowing you to give out more neutral reputations per day seems like a great compromise since it doesn’t affect someone’s actual reputation score. For us to implement a minor change like this it will require custom development though, so this change will probably come out with numerous other improvements to the rep system in the next few months.

Sounds sweet!
Will you considering adding to that update a section like Members but "Reputable Members" where it will show the members managed by their rep?

Premium/Supreme users should get more as Premium/Supreme are ranks that allow users to sell Minecraft accounts, and I would assume they do more deals than non-Premium users so letting Premium/Supreme have more reputation to give out would be reasonable IMO

Yeah, I think about 5 would be better, it's annoying having to have a text file w/ a list of people that I still need to rep.

For me, I think 5 is a good number.

5 sounds like a good number.

This might work if for example:

10 rep + (3 reps/d)
20 rep + (4 reps/d)
etc

It would need to cap off at a point.

I'll move this to pending to possibly add a feature to Supreme to give more than 3 reputation per day.

Thanks for the suggestion.

 

[Mick]

This has already been implemented, we just never got around to marking this suggestion as accepted.

Thank you very much for the suggestion! I'll move the thread now.
