Well, I just noticed that I have the ability to vote posts down now - and I can't find any topics about it - so I'm making this one.

Why has this been brought in? It doesn't seem very necessary - to be honest, I always liked the way we could only vote posts up, it makes the forums seem friendlier and stops that whole cascade of negative votes thing that's often seen on YouTube.
Considering how against flame wars the forum is - I'm surprised this was added in.

:D Nice!

Goodbye my reputation, it was nice barely noticing you.

Hello trolls, it was nice ignoring you for so long.

[Docopoper]

Oh my god Tepi's blue!!! I hadn't even noticed.

And I've a feeling people are going to troll me for opening this topic and my rep is going to take a hit. Hands off my rep.

[Jack Indie Box]

I've just tried this and once again, YYG has missed the entire point of the function. Instead of splitting it into two different categories, they've just joint them together, so you can't see how many people agree or disagree with you. Weldone YYG on another flawed decision.

Well this might stop people asking for +1 reps because people will naturally -1 people that do.

[makerofthegames]

Might as well just remove the rep system entirely. I mean, it had a point at some point, but now it doesn't.

YYGs didn't make the decision. IPB the creators of the forum software did.

YYGs decision can only be:

• Not allow any reputation + or -.
• Allow only positive.
• Allow only negative.
• Allow both.

But no matter which the choose, there is only one field that tracks it per post, and one field that tracks the cumulative value.

Now there are two options there that that benefit the community and actually give the reputation system a point.

It's not the one we have now.

Any know there are two buttons.

What I was commenting on is your post that suggests that YYGs could have split it into two catagories, they can't. That's how IPB works, it doesn't rack the individulal + and - counters.

You'll have to forgive my wording, I'm multitasking with several instances of GameMaker, I meant to say "it does" not "they've made it that way".

[ZyklonMiraj]

it would be bettr if u could vote or take your vote back (like the like button on facebook),but not dislike.

[flexaplex]

When people posted in topics talking about +rep there was a good chance that their post would get +rep, now if people post in topics talking about -rep it seems there will be a good chance that their post will get -rep. I guess it's karma

[makerofthegames]

I vote to either
A: Have the reputation system function how it used to.
or B: Remove the reputation system entirely.

With the added option to minus rep posts, I find it renders the whole thing completely useless.

How about that.

There's a reputation system? Oh look something shiny!

[flexaplex]

I have a feeling it must be NPT giving everyone -rep. His are practically the only post in the topic without it
