Unable to report rep?

[Anish]

So I was viewing rep, being bored and I saw this rep. https://www.mc-market.org/feedback/feedback/127846/view

Particularly the part where the only proof is an indian flag. So I hit the red cancel looking button and was greeted with this error.

Not sure what the intended functionality is but
- Should I be able to report rep for others?
or
- Should I not see a report button?

Due to people like Reinsure etc reporting rep in the mass you can't report other peoples reputation.

people who report rep deserve to be banned

I'm reporting a negative rep.

This was initially done as a temporary measure while we worked our a compromise with the community on how to handle legacy feedback. Since a compromise has been found, I believe that it would be safe to re-introduce the report function. Since legacy feedback now has certain immunity from our rules, it may be necessary to develop some custom notice informing reporters that they should not be reporting that feedback for certain violations, however, that can come later if it proves necessary.

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,
