Reputation bugs.

[Joshua C]

After someone has given you a rep, and you click "add reputation for this deal" it directs you to the section to add the rep, but when submitting it says

On the other hand, adding reputation normally, often leads you to some additional buttons that shouldn't be here.

The first bug has been reported a few times before; occurs as the "Upload a File" button is non-existent on the second version of the feedback addition page, which can only be accessed via the "Submit a reputation for this deal" button.

Eg. https://www.mc-market.org/threads/456320/

In regards to the unnecessary buttons, you're referring to the "Thumbnail" and "Full Image" buttons, as these don't seem to have any functionality, right?

Yes

Back about a year ago we introduced some pretty radical changes to the way that we handle reputation. We made all reputation left by banned members be marked as uncounted in your reputation totals and disabled the reporting functionality to reduce abuse and targeted. The changes that we made were certainly controversial at the time, but looking back I'm a firm believer that the changes we made back then were the best that we could have made.

Our reputation system is very far from being perfect in its current state, and we fully recognise that. Since it's introduction we've changed many policies and spent countless hours developing new custom systems, such as disputing feedback.

At the moment we aren't planning to do any more development for our site until we can migrate to XF2. We're also not going to be making any changes to our policies surrounding reputation. Our system is stable at the moment, and making a change now when we're going to be redeveloping everything shortly isn't beneficial. Perhaps once we move to XF2 and have fixed all the bugs that come with that and have more time for some new development and to consider the impact that instituting new policies will result in.

Until then, I'll move this to denied. Once we migrate to XF2 if you feel that this is still relevant please create a new suggestion thread and we can look into it once again. Thank you to everyone for your support and criticism of our systems, it is definitely the best way for us to improve.

Thank you,
