Reputation system: Yes or no?

[ChilliGirl]

You are the best

But no option for the dark themes?

Also... I can't change themes now -.-'

I have mine set to dark themes ....

I did set it before the last forum upgrade.


hmmmm

I wonder if the upgrade broke that option.....

/shrug

It does not matter either way....

/request that an indifferent option be added to the poll

You can vote indifferent by not voting

What's the point of that?

not voting does not give constructive feedback.

Doing that is kinda like not voting in the elections & then whining coz the ANC wins....

How is indicating you are indifferent with regards to the rep system constructive feedback? RPM needs to determine whether to boot the thing or not. It's a yes/no question.

Put differently, if 100% of forumites voted for the indifferent option, what would RPM need to do? The most constructive feedback in this case is either yes or no.

I voted no last time and now.

If you really want to keep the system, do what James did at mygaming. Make the positive/negative rep move by 1 point only for everyone. Not based on how much rep you have or how many posts you have (which is how the current rep system works I believe)

It would indicate that it's ultimately up to him and the mods: we don't care either way.

If a substantial number of people are indifferent and they vote "yes" or "no" depending on their mood at the time, it could skew the results, impacting the validity of the outcome and potentially negatively influence what would otherwise have been the majority.

Now, you might ask, "Why don't those who are indifferent simply not vote?" Simple: we all want to have our say, even if that isn't an opinion we completely agree with.

So you might actually be surprised to find that "indifference" is more constructive than you'd assumed. Or not.

Thanks, ChilliGirl. I found it earlier. I'd rather have avatars than a dark theme. But I preferred the dark theme... Everything is so... confusing now

You don't see this?

I do, but the Dark Full theme doesn't show avatars for me at all.

Why not just have a sticky thread titled "Good Posts that you may have missed" or something similar, whereby members can paste interesting posts with links to the thread from which that post has been copied.

Nein danke!

Indifference might then be somewhat constructive, but I maintain that for the purpose of this poll, it's most constructive to either vote yes or no.

Nay. Worst thing since e-trolling.

Maybe clear your internet temp files & cookies. I have dark theme with avas

No luck. Tried it with both Firefox and Chrome...
