Rep Point Update
Members will no longer be able to give negative rep points to other members. If a members agrees with another member's post, the member may still give positive rep points to that member showing his approval of that post. If you do not happen to agree with the post, simply move on.
Current members with negative rep points will be reset to zero. Users will no longer be capable of having negative rep points. We hope this update will better help to encourage positive activity within the forums. |

Then what is the point! If I disagree with someone, but don't want to embarrass them, I would prefer to give them a negative privately than to post a message about it in front of everyone. I think it will encourage more negative posts and cause more fighting. You are doing away with the negatives, because one person has a huge problem receiving negatives and complained to you about it. I received negatives, was called an ugly name on two occasions, and did not come crying to you about it. I thought it was funny. I am sure it came from the person who complained to you. Just had to vent, time to move on.

If you want to disagree with someone OFF the forum, we have private messaging here on SBLive! that work just like e-mail. I'm sorry, Isabella, but I'm in favor of admin turning bad rep off. It may be more democratic, but people just don't seem to get how to properly use it.

LOL what a drag I liked getting the occasional negative rep points.. it lets me know I riled someone's feathers
how about if we could hit someone with a negative REP comment, but that doesn't take away from their rep POINTS ? |

Aww better to just remove it. Private messages can be abused also. I have seen it happen on other forums. I think some people took the whole rep point system too seriously. I enjoyed all my positive ones and laughed at the few negatives ones.

Thanks sbl admin!
Just like to see that there is moderating! I haven't been posting long enough to see the abuse of points, etc., but I have seen very pointed negative comments directed at specific individuals. Even general thread topics seemed to digress to that point.
Just the headlines are negative enough.... We should be able to post, read, think and walk away with appreciation and respect for the variety of individuals who post. If taking the negatives away encourages more positive thoughts & comments, I am definitely for that!!! Thanks for taking steps toward a solution!! |
