Rep is back?!

lol, it's interesting to see it's those who say they don't care about reps who are so eager for rep system to be abolished...

this thread is proof that people do care about rep. as for me, I'm with lazy. the system is not the prob here, it's the people.

Don't care, really... But i DO predict that there will be a thread bitching about rep being back in the next week.

Put a carrot in my ear and call me a potato if it doesn't happen.

You can't change the people but the system (at least Jacob can change it :>)


Edit:


And we all know that KLoWn is the upload King, even without the reps.

So many butthurt people dont like rep...
Im glad it is back. The forums were a bit boring without it.


Ah, my first negative rep, am completely awesome now~
[size=10]pss see?, there's no need to cry, butthurt people [/h]

I don't quite understand that [thanks][/thanks] thing. Is it suposed to be bb code? What would it do then? Show up a sign saying THANK YOU!!!? Haha.

ps: I'm liking the way you post. You should get out of nosebleed more often.

Yes it's bbc and the text between the [thanks][/thanks] will only show if you click the thanks button like in some other Forums, it's actually just another spoiler function. It's just a idea but hey it's the feedback section :]

And thanks, I'm not sure if my grammar is always correct (even though german and english are kinda similar)

I actually think this would not work well. Im not sure but are you implying that they should click the Thanks before they even see the content? What if they didnt like what they saw? They cant take the thanks back since they already ppressed it to see the content. That would be like giving a thanks even before the satisfaction which is not really...a thanks, rather a payment, which is, Im sure, not something you would want.

I think a simple post of Thanks if enough, if not, just like Hongfire system, "this post has been thanks by xx users" like what Kaimax and you said.

Im not really in the place to say this because I have low rep but I actually didnt care much about the rep system weather it is gone or present, but I guess having it not there would be the best for the community, so I would like it gone. Its been really fine the past few weeks and I dont see anything bad.

Of course you shouldn't spoiler the whole text (or better it's not possible to spoiler more than xxx characters) for example: Uploader could spoiler the download links. Or in the Nosebleed section people could spoiler a few images (not all, a few should remain to tease) Or if someone in the request section is searching for a Hentai title you could post it with a [thanks][/thanks] spoiler...

Like I said there's no counter above your posts which shows how many "thanks" you received it's just that you know someone was interested in your post and wanted to see more...


here's a screenshot from another forum with this function...



Btw you can also give thanks even if no [thanks][/thanks] spoiler was used

So you basically have to give a thanks to the owner of the links in order to be able to see said links. But then it's just a confirmation to use the links. What if the content of the links does not meet your expectations (ex: wasn't what you were looking for; You're not fond of the material, or here, it could be a hentai, a doujin, etc)? Then you would be thanking the user for something you did not necessarily enjoy.
I may have understood this system wrong, but if it really is this way, I think it'd be better off.

Kaimax's suggestion is also good, but I still think a post saying thanks is better.

Dude, it doesn't matter since you have infinite "thanks."

I think it's a shitty system.

Not if i leads to the kind of spam where alot of people just goes through all threads saying "thank you" to everything to increase their postcount, it was to stop this kind of stuff said Thank You-function was implemented on most forums with uploads.

Fakku doesn't really have that kind of problem yet though, there's only been one person i've had to PM about it so far, but seeing how Fakku grows it's bound to happen sooner or later.


*Edit*
I just looked ar Crax's post a little closer, and i don't think i've ever seen that kind of thank you-function =X
The TY-function i was referring to is the one used at places like Hongfire & Sakurahana.

Probably it's really a bit exaggerated...

Maybe this will do:

-Disable -Rep
-Disable Rep Counter
-Change Rep to Thanks
-You can give thanks anytime


Edit: I think that's what kaimax suggested ^^

Infinite thanks(without restrictions) = has no value = stupid idea

I still think the system should be disabled entirely. If Fakku can't handle rep then I see no point in having a glorified dick stroking system known as thanks/I love/<3.

The whole point of our rep system was that you were negative repped for a action that someone didn't agree with. People are allowed to use their rep for whatever they want and if we tell them otherwise what is the point?

Since Fakku's rep system has no value other then one the user sets themselves I think it should be done away with.

Also the rep system does not keep people in check. The Rules and FAQ keeps people in check. I didn't notice that anyone started speaking their mind anymore then before and if they did then they could have done so regardless. You're allowed to say and do whatever you want as long as it doesn't break the rules. That's what they are there for.

It has a value, or would you give thanks to everything and everyone?
And actually it's the purpose, nobody will abuse it if it's not limited or special.
It's a simple thanks.


Edit: But I think just disable the rep system would be the best. I also think Jacob gives a fuck about what I think :D

Actually That'd be a good idea. If we're going to have the rep back permanently, then by all means put one of those in here It give's like three rep at once right?

Him I agree with...

People are still being dicks without rep. It's just not as obvious from before with a visible indicator in form of a number.

some people will do that.....

probably the same reason why only 1 rep per day
