Reputations - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Firefoot · 10-17-2004, 06:35 AM

I agree with Imladris, that the bad rep can be a useful tool as well as good rep. A pm would work well for something maybe not as serious, but sometimes I think a bad rep is in order. My standards are pretty much the same as Imladris'. There have been very few bad reps that I have given out (I could probably count them on one hand); far fewer at any rate than the good reps. This is probably because the forum does have pretty high standards and most people are able to meet them. The bad rep is one way to stop bad posting. I think it also encourages good posting, in order to get some positive rep. I do not think that there has been anyone that has been "slipping" or "acting a bit like Ted Sandyman" for much longer than a few weeks.
