Kudos

[Alastair91]

My point was that as it stands there is only positive kudos. A member could be a complete fool, yet still have some kudos despite that.

 

Ideally, the format should be either no kudos/rep system whatsoever or negative/positive allowed.

 

I speak from experience as being a mod and an admin on philosophy forums ...

Cliques can form that go around thumbing up each others comments, leading to members with abnormally high rep to contribution ratio. A facility allowing negative reps to be given counterbalances this behaviour.

 

That's what I was trying to say and explain, but you did a far better job. :smile:

Mmh, while I do agree with the idea of negative/positive kudos, remember that anyone can take away kudos given and usually people that would earn negative ones would be trolls, flamers and spammers, wich usually have a very short life in this forums (just take a look on the strikes/ban forum :D), making quite pointless the negative kudos they've earned. So the system is not so bad, there are reasons why negative kudos are not here.

As I said, feel free to make you suggestion.

 

I trust in Dark0ne's judgment. If he chooses to implement

it or not then he will have far clearer and better reasons than

we can think of.

There is no such thing as a negative Kudos. Therefore, you can't give any. :P
