As you may remember, in the old reputation system, votes from admins were worth 3 points, mods worth 2, Elites worth 1. Should the new reputation system be like that or should everyone be equal?

This was more of an issue with the old system, where you could vote for the same user multiple times. Now it's much harder to abuse your reputation power. I still feel like having a vote though, to see what everyone thinks.

I would say for everyone to have the same voting power .

Me too.  It just seems more logical to me.

where's the option "votes form new members should be worth more."? .... j/k

Yes, votes from staff should be worth more.

its like in real life...do the rich people votes count for 4 and the seniors count for 2? and its not fair for someone will higher powers on these forums count for more. Because whats the point of voting at all?

* WDZ agrees

Personally I'd like to see only certain members being allowed to vote, not on the elite and above scale...members who are trusted and are regarded as mature can vote, anyone unknown can't...and everyone has equal voting power

Everyone should definitely have the same voting power otherwise, i'd say its a little bit unfair.

i think evybody should have same power but only ppl with a certain number of posts can vote
because otherwise ppl might make new accounts and vote for themself

I was thinking about it more after I posted the poll and logged off... I've now added a new option that I support, and maybe some of you "no" voters will like it too...

Everyone should have the same power... (sice i only got 115 posts )

WDZ, stop trying to get your votes to count more



Or else staff 2 & all others 1 would be OK since thy gotta do the dirty jobs

like, would people with less than 100 posts actually use the sytem anyways?  Id understand if they were just new members, but...for the ones that just join and need help, i dont think they'll actually care about the rep system. Im leaning towards "everyone gets equal voting power" but you could be a great helper, but some dont like you...so you'd get a bad rep and people will come on the forums and be like "well im not doing what they told me to do, they have a bad reputation"


i dont know if that made sence at all fuck it, ill just vote

Well, I think that from a mature point of view (ie everyone is mature enough) all votes should count equally.
BUT, as we know a lot of people, even regular members around here are not mature and may just vote negatively if there was a confrontation on IRC, on Messenger or even in real life, I think we can't really trust every vote.
For me, the best solution would be having a handfull trusted members chosen by the staff+elites. But since I know this won't be done, I vote for having this difference among voters,a lthough my vote will count the same as any spammer's, lamer's, etc's.

Well, I think it's just that I wouldn't trust my vote to some poeple around here, because I know they won't vote objectively.

But well, go ahead with the 2 - 1 system, it's the best option among the three, imo.

Edit: Just comes to my mind that that Marsh84721 (who is flooding the board right now) could be voting anyone

Oh yeah, I remember that being suggested in an old thread, but I forgot about it... Sure, I think I can implement that.

I dunno... it would be nice if new members could vote for people who helped them, but allowing them to vote would open up new possibilities for abuse, so I can't do it.

Huh? He made 100 posts? That's why the limit is so high... even if you spammed like crazy, it would be quite difficult to get 100 posts before being interrupted by a mod.

I like the second option, but I only like it together with Choli's (or whoever's idea it was in the old thread) idea, so being able to choose if I vote 1 or 2 points...

That'll probally mean he's testing it. Doesn't say anything about how ready it is.

2-1 idea + choli's idea =

heres my thaughts,

I think letting >=elites have a more powerful vote is a good idea provided that they are told to act neutral and base votes on the quality of posts, not on personal grudges

however, i can see a lot of people would disagree because it all seems a bit "all animals (form members) are equal but some are more equal than others" if you know what i mean

I'm not gonna read the whole thread.... too lazy

but i just want to give my opinion........

everyone's vote should have the same weigth or maybe staff 2 point...

but let Staff AND Elites have 2 point sounds like a perfect solution, BUT who decides who is Elite and who is just a Plain Member..... I just remember the day Patchou decided to assign Elite Members and then some ppl (Mostly Staff ppl i think) didn't agree..... the thing is choosing Elite is not easy..... and making Elite have "more power" will make more ppl wanna be Elite and harder to choose who deserves it and all that.....

So as a Elite-For-A-Day Member, I'd vote for option 3: "No, everyone should have equal voting power"

Edit: typos
