Rules of the Rep Abuse subforum: I saw that AM Nielz made this thread: Click That actually made me thinking. The punishment (rep removed and fined 50 credits) is way to soft, because after that they still can continue plus repping themselfs. I think that when people are found guilty of rep abuse that they need to lose the ability to +/- Rep whatsoever (and fined ofcourse). Just a suggestion, because maybe then people will think twice when considering to abuse the rep system.
nah, its not like you "accidently" abused the rep system. So 1 strike is out, or maybe 2, but 3 is to much.
yeah but if it was deleberate then yeah strike 1 but people have rights to there reps, but i vote forward to this does cheese me off, people minusing me for stupid thing, i just get bigdave to take it off
1 warning and than out. I believe in 1 last chance, but once they break it twice.. there is no doubt they will do it again. Snipe.
I dont think the mods wanna go ip check everybody and remove all the reps they gamve themselves, I dont think that is necessary. Also, there is a chance of someone having siblings, and other cirumstances. as for -repping, people have different ideas about what deserves a -rep, if they think it's justified, they shouldnt be punished more than any other abuser. but there si a limit....
sushiguy, you don't know what we're talking about do you? - We weren't talking about ip's etc. we were talking about obvious and clear people who -rep themself, like the example i posted in the thread linked - Your second point has nothing to do with the topic.
If people are actually [+]repping themselves from other accounts, that really doesn't need a second chance. If its just normal re abuse, thats different, I agree there should be strikeouts. However, you don't accidentally [+]rep your own account.
something about repping own accounts, rep abuse, being more strict about it.....or, im totally lost. lol, I have no idea what I wrote :blink:
We actually take away peoples ability to rep people at al when they are found to repeatedly abuse the reputation system.
well i just read the rules heres what BFT had to say No reputation abuse; reputation is a way to judge a persons character on the forum. Worthless [minus] or [postive] reputations will be removed, and fines, suspensions, or even bans will be given out.
plz gtfo of this thread thxbai I'll close this, I allready have my answer and I don't need nubs like that freak spamming here
