Site News Regarding Derep

I'm almost part of this group. I accidentally de-repped someone.

 

I flipping love you.
O_O
That's amazing! :D
Thanks~ <3

 

It's something that I'm not going to go emo over it or anything, but I've been known to derep people anonymously because I know people don't like it but really do deserve it (if nothing else to balance the immense ammount being passed arround) and I could easily see this starting flame wars with people who rep like I do.

 

I do understand that some people here did like the anonymous rep option as they felt a protection and at the same time gave 'earnest' dereps. However, it was more imbalanced to leave that for those -few- who do that, versus allow all of the people who derepped for various other reasons to just remain anonymous and continue to abuse it with no repercussions because staff won't act on it. If staff wasn't going to monitor the bad reps anymore and delete stupid ones or insulting ones that had no merit, it seemed only fair in my mind to allow all members the privilege to see who reps and dereps them as S.Mods and Admins can. That way if they feel it's a foolish derep, they can at worst derep back, and since reps do not count for any purpose anymore but karma, it really doesn't matter what rep a person has now.

In the end, we can't make everyone happy and we had to go with what was best for the majority. Sorry, man. :/

 

I get that, and I knew I was in a minority there so it wouldn't really flex your dicision. Guess I was just in a good position to play devil's advocate for a moment here. I'm sure it will be fine for the most part, but we'll see.

 

Wait, so there's new rules for becoming a prem, then?

 

Post count only. rep doesn't matter now.

 

I got that.
I meant, is it still 1000 posts?

 

yeah, no change to the post count. they removed the rep requirement is all.

 

Curses.
I was already at 100 rep xD

Anyways, I think Repliku should close this until Repliku has more to say.

 

Darrrrrn I wanted derep to just be gone entirely. lol
