I can tell you right now that cobaltss.net still has the largest amount of cobalt owners and probably ecotec enthusiast on the web.

that being said MOST everything on this site nowadays is off topic BS. WHICH IS OK, to a point.


but I am afraid that all the knowledgeable people will eventually leave. its happening.

-therefore. I suggest we bring back rep points.

This will encourage people to help each other again

and turn this into the friendly place it used to be. where you could post a problem and within minutes have a ton of replys from people wanting to help.


Taking away Rep Points becuase it seems like to much work to manage the small inconvenience it may be to the admin is not a reason i can accept.

I understand its a business. but aren't you out to help fellow owners as well as provide someplace for entertainment?

keep civil please. no CSSnet sucks posts or anything like that.

 

The last system had too many flaws and people would get rep for no reason and then you would get the random negative reps as well. I don't think it's a good idea.

 

This explains why I could never figure out the rep system. It didnt exsist anymore. Man I feel like an idiot.

This sounds like a pretty good idea tho

 

Yup. People would rep each other in the ***** threads for no reason just b/c it was funny.....hence why I hate ***** threads and never go in them. They're half the reason this forum has degraded so badly over the last 2 years since I joined.

And then people would neg rep just if you so much as disagreed with them. VADriven.com has a rep system that actually works, b/c if some reps you, a mod/admin has to approve it first.

 

WOW, I want to withdrawl my statement of it sounding like a good idea then.

 

It's a good idea in theory, but never works out that way.

 

I wouldn't mind its return IF:

1. it wasn't abused this time around. Only rep people when they actually help you or do something worth rewarding them for. And don't neg rep someone for bogus reasons, like them not agreeing that your new wheels are super badass.

2. if the rep system is properly moderated. I think all rep points should have to be ok'd by a mod or admin. That way if someone neg reps someone and their reason is "you smell", the mod can cancel it out so someone dosen't recieve neg rep for a pointless reason. And it would work the other way around as well.

 

QFT! The OP has been on this site long enough to know who knows what they are talking about anyways

We would see the return of the CSS.Net neg rep crew

 

oh jeez lol

I had pretty good rep when they did away with the system. And it was all legitimate rep points that I was actually given for helping someone.

 

I wont lie most of mine was ***** rep

Regardless I didn't have a problem with the system going away

 

lol, see....you were the "people" I was referring to.

I hate ***** threads and what they've done to this once great forum. Owell, I have no life, so I stick around......

 

how about no rep allowed to be given for threads in the lounge?

right now people just look at post count and think that=knowledge.

 

That would make more sense. The new people might think that lol.

I don't think the ***** threads are a problem. Regardless, I only post on here when I am bored at work.

 

I think that could possibly work.

 

it gave people something to do the only problem i see is how someone who did not even post in a thread can negative rep you saying some nasty **** making you think it was someone in the thread that said it.

 

ibtl

It definately has it's good and bad about it. If there was a way to make rep only available to technical type threads the. It would be a great idea.

 

They will never bring the rep back. There are too many little kids on here unfortunately....

 

bump


no IBTL

were keeping it civil so theres absolutely no reason why this should be locked.

 

True, like Car Guy 09

He finally got his license a few days ago so he is growing up in the world

 

 

hahaha, all the noobs are like, "wtf are rep points??"

 

There were way to many flaws in it. In the back room or the dungeon people would rep like a **** for no reason. Its goign to be hard to control a rep system.

 

I'm pretty sure the rep system will never come back. It was abused like a $2 prostitute.

 

Pretty sure?

More like guaranteed, as long as JonyyB is Admin there will be no rep system.

 

was being a little modest.
