RWL is moving hosts

Obviously it would be disabled in Spa. I was  assuming there was no question of that.

[Neobaron]

That probably isn't possible or easily possible Rakey.

Windy, this is one of those situations where "why" can succesfully and meaningfully be answered by "why not?"

I think it would be fun, if nothing else. :)

Less participation in UMD discussions when people start to care about karma? People playing favorites and downvoting on principle? Heh. I am one of the indifferent ones, but I can see this thing being abused to annoy people and causing butthurt. The reason it works better in large communities is that most people don't really know each other and so rating are actually reflective of the quality of posts, whereas here I am not sure that it would.

On other sites I've been at, you could get gags for upvoting and gags for leaving abuse in rep messages (though I'm not sure if in this system you can leave a message with your rep) which may be a good idea if this is implemented. I like the idea, but I'm not sure it would be used responsibly.

Maybe you could add an option to "hide" you rep in your account management? Would that be possible? I'd probably end up using it lol.  :P

[Neobaron]

You guys must not think highly of one another if you're convinced the inevitable outcome is abuse. :P

I love cloud to death but he and snare are currently having a posturing party in a turbo thread. I'm not going to rep cloud because I like him if his posts are bad in a given situation.

I might negrep puns though.

[Firetooth]

Trialling it might be an idea. I do like the idea, but I'd be shocked if there wasn't any abuse.

[Neobaron]

There will always be abuse darling. But there are certainly ways of curtailing it. :D

[Firetooth]

Indeed, but I am worried that Muse will end up as top-repped forumite, as some kind of sick joke.

[Neobaron]

I laughed IRL and now bus people are looking at me suspiciously.

I feel like if it had to be policed it would not be worth it just because there is already enough moderation going on ^_^. On the other hand, it could be fun to test it out and see how dysfunctional we really are as a society.

[Neobaron]

Don't worry, most are self regulating. You guys wouldn't have to do a thing.

I know how apathetic you guys can be. If I figured the prospect of increased responsibility/effort/involvement would be a factor, I'd have never brought it up.

Fights I cant win, etc.

[Neobaron]

That sounds awful on a readthrough. I hope you can understand what I was trying to say as I can't think of another way to phrase it.

[Shadow]

My feeling are hurt. Neo, you are a jerk.

[Neobaron]

I try real hard.
