boards.ie and boards.jp share an administrator, namely Cloud, but they're not really linked apart from that. Reputation on boards.ie was becoming too much of a pain to be practical. Hopefully it is still working well for the boards.jp users.

They went a few months ago, not sure of the exact date off-hand.

There was a rep thread on one of the forums, probably the cuckoo's nest if memory serves. I think Giblet was the thread starter. The complaining about them was more of a problem, although that thread illustrated quite a few problems with the scheme.

Like every other perk, the Irish abused it to a point where it became a joke.

RuggieBear

have to say i really like the rep system till it became a joke. Thought the ability to give a short comment on someones post was brilliant whether you agreed with their post or not and got rid of all that "LOL" shite that clutters threads.

Still think that the comment system should be reintroduced without the ability to give rep. Is that even possible or is it just to much hassle with the dangers of personal abuse which plagued it when it was all anom.....

Creamy Goodness

lol i had forgotten all about the rep system until i saw this thread.

You mean the private message option? That works.

So just for one or two days then!
There was rep whoring going on long before that thread in the Cukoo's Nest started.

it was just a handy way to give instant feedback to a particular post and it was possible to see which posts got comments....as opposed to PM'ing which doesn't ref any actual post. Am i making any sense at all!?

memphis

I'm with the bear on this one. I too liked the idea of being able to give quick feedback on a post. Maybe admins could introduce it again, without the whole rep count thingy!!!

I think memphis is on the right track. No more apples just the screen in your user CP.

Zombienosh

mmmmmmm apples.....

Ah PIP OFF!!!

Sorry...

steveland?

How about something in the drop down menu where it has all the profile/wiki/pm information called something like "Quick Feedback on this post" or something like that.

Just bring you straight to a PM screen with the post already quoted?

Meh....

Ro: maaan!

I do like the idea of the note to the poster, but I'd rarely feel the need to PM them. Would be good to have it as it was but without the + or -

Indeed. Boards.ie is the better without it, it really doesn't add anything to it.

*adele*

i was well on my way to being a rep whore when they got rid of them

Sherifu

I really liked the little notes in the user cp.
Im not arsed going thru pm to tell you ur post
was fantastic/boombastic tbh.

Bring that feature back without rep plz.

The Muppet

I agree with the guys about the comment feature. It would be useful to reintroduce this feature of the rep system if it is technically possible.

Winters

I do also like the talk of this part-rep system.

If you could still give + and - to people along with a comment, however have it so it does not show up in their public profile, only their userCP would be nice. There are many posts here I would like to give feedback to, but PM'ing just is too much, a simple comment like "STFU n00b!!!11" could be easily given though this system rather then PM.

As long as other people cannot see the users rep, there wouldnt be much problem for them trying to get as many as possible in order to show off to their "internet friends" :rolleyes;

"Hey look, ive more rep then you do HAHA!!"
> "Yea, well I've real friends, a real life and a real job ... 0wned"

WhiteWashMan

and that would be there just to relieve your frustration, or do you think it would actually serve some useful purpose?

To make you feel all shiny and bright on the inside...

Winters

Anything that can relieve frustration would be very welcome. Very welcome indeed.

Don't lie WWM, there's many a time on PI you would have liked to use that (we won't mention names).

BuffyBot

Wasn't half of the problem with the rep system the nature of the comments *some* people left?
