Is the rep system overrated?

[Rick James]

budadiii is better than most trolls, but he's like bipolar or something. he's so up and down to me imo.

People hate him because he shares honest opinions that aren't politically correct on this sheep of a forum.

[Bless Mathews]

It should be objective ..

My threads always go multiple pages. Get quoted all the time.

Slay green posters on the regular. I'm a message board legend. This system is flawed. I'm proud of my red bOArs on here. Bunch of kid haters..

Check my thread stats ...

I can't help it that...

crackers gonna crack ..

Pretending to be a millionaire and starting threads about his 1incher is honest...

I did not know this.

i think the best posters theoretically should have close to 0 rep. I don't know how the rep is weighted even if it is, but if you have guy that has perfectly balanced rep he's surely bringing a lot of debate to the forums. A lot of guys with tons of green bars just rep themselves with alts or are just circlejerkers.

as a person who pursues balance, i tend to agree.

there's definitely some neg rep members here who make interesting, provocative points. and true, they can also be over the top at times, but that's pretty much always the case with people who take risks. in the end they have a chance to come to deeper, more nuanced, and more balanced understandings of reality than the herd. especially if they're younger... still figuring things out.


many of the full-green posters and most of the people who completely dismiss the neg-rep posters are pretty much crashing bores.

I'm not sure how you even manage to get in the red. I have a bunch of positive and negative reps, but still have a ton of green bars. My last 5 reps were all negative... doesn't seem to have much effect.

The people with lots of red bars seem to either troll constantly, or personally attack other posters. Nobody gets 5+ red bars by just having a different opinion.

[It's A VC3!!!]

i have a lot of green boxes which must mean that my input is highly regarded to be the best input on all of ISH. so no, it's rated just fine.

[KingBeasley08]

So how did you get your greens? Begging?

By being me

same way you getting those reds

[Unstoppabull]

Yes It is. Someone with a lot of green bars is not necessarily a good poster.

But someone with a lot of red bars most likely doesn't bring any substance to the forum and just trolls. Anyone with more than 3 reds is probably a dick to everyone.

Another dumbass complaining about useless things.

[HoopsFanNumero1]

Yes. Lebron23 and Jameer (the hentai kid) are perfect examples of this.

I think it's arbitrary. If El Jeffe doesn't dislike you, then you'll get green or heavily weighted green. If El Jeffe dislikes you, then he ramps up the weight of the negs and yur doomed lol

It's pointless because it goes on an off and people are still gonna post their opinions red or green

[BlazerRed]

Hmm I wonder why a guy with Hitler in his avy would have red bars?

[Fresh Kid]

you damn right it iz
