Antipoint rateing system

[Remote_Access_]

IMHO, i think the AO point rateing system is a good idea, althought I think thar users should be required to leave their name when posting antipoints. (positive or negative)

Good day,

I assume you are questioning the antipoints system after your blatant attempt at plagerism earlier this week. I would imagine that you recieved quite a few negative points for those posts after Terr pointed out that you were just "cut and pasting"..


If this is the case than I feel that you have very little to complain about. The antipoints are doing their job and plagerism will not be tolerated.

I also disagree that people should have to give their "handle" when giving antipoints. Imo one of the great things about the 'net is the ability to remain anonymous.


Anyway, thats just my opinion....



Also, WTF is BLA?

No i was questioning the antipoints system in general. Also, I have corrected my self in a prevoius post, see this link:

I agree that plagerism will not be tolerated but the antipoints aren't doing thier job. And just for the record Terr wasn't the only person to point that out.

I think that users should have to put a comment in when giving
+/- antipoints.. however this wouldn't solve much, as people would just write crap, such as "****ing convict **** scum ****a" which is just one of the reasons I've been given for getting negative antipoints...

But as for putting their name.. nope.. that wouldn't work.. as was considered in all the other posts on this subject, it would just lead to retalitory points being given.. I mean, if you didn't like how DjM said that you will probably regret this post, you could give him negative antipoints.. but with DjM being able to see that it was you, he could just give some right back... and then the system is worse off then before....

haha maybe the good reason why they never show who gave those anti points is that incase someone gives someone a negative anti point.. they dont end up giving eachother tons of negative anti point coz they're pissed off at eachother.. haha

[sebastos12]

I agree with you sOnIc. and if we don't do this (give anti points) other people of course will do it.

[Ennis]

*yawn* Another already tackled subject crops up with the same arguments and replies.

First of all if we let people know who gave you neg antipoints that leaves people open to revenge attacks.
Secondly there is no real reason to know who gave you antipoints, what can you gain from it, all you want to do is give them neg. antipoints.
Anyway JP will deal with it if it really is a problem so pleade Im begging you let this dieeeeeeeeeee!!!!!:idea:

[Matty_Cross]

I agree with Ennis..
I only posted to this one, as I didn't post to the others..
Forcing the users to give their name is a bad idea... If I could see who had given me the neg antipoints with bullshit reasons, I'd give em right back....

The only problem I have with the system is that they don't have to give comments, whether giving +/- points...

But as Ennis said.. let it die..

[DjM]

I know I should just let this die and I am likely going to regret this but...as an example of how this can (and is) being abused, someone assigned me neg points for my post in this thread (no big deal). It was signed with one of the Senior Members Handles. I read the comments the Senior Member left in this thread and they were basically in line with my comments so I doubt the Sr. Member gave the neg. points. JP put this 'points' feature in for a specific reason and it was not to 'win friends and influence people' or to get into a stupid 'points war'. Let use this feature the way JP intended or don't use it at all.

Greetings All:

Having a user's name assigned to AntiPoints is NOT a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion though!
