My GOD! Has the Rep system returned?! - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

onehundredoctane · 05-03-2017, 07:19 AM

You guys just remember, the system was being taken advantage of and that's why it was taken away. . .

Probably won't take much to have it turned back off, so don't get stupid and have it revoked for everyone.

NISR20MO · 05-03-2017, 07:58 AM

Must post to see rep, will it be ultra weak???

EDIT: Prediction correct

*kingkilburn* · 05-03-2017, 08:20 AM

Look at the join dates in here. The swag stay crushing missile crowd is going to come in here and run us old timers out.

Sileighty_85 · 05-03-2017, 11:05 PM

I'm waiting to see the DIW thread to be nothing but red squares from everyone disagreeing with each other.

KiLLeR2001 · 05-05-2017, 12:15 AM

Going into my User CP, it looks like the last rep I received was 07-26-2008, lol.

Okinawandrifter87 · 05-05-2017, 12:45 AM

Wow Masai was just telling me about this but I had to log back in to see this for myself first hand... lol.

deolio · 05-05-2017, 05:01 AM

rep was a thing right when i joined. looking back at my posts i'm not sure how i ended up in the green.

only one person i've seen around here lately who deserves to be deep in the red..

Define taken advantage of.

Someone deleted my post begging for reps in exchange for free SRs. I'm going to have to get craftier with the rep scams. Everyone knows nothing is more valuable than rep on Zilvia and I can't rest until I ruin it for everyone and get it taken away again.

*STAFF EDIT*
Yes, we're watching

Been a long time since I've seen the green bars on this forum

DrtyRat · 05-09-2017, 09:10 AM

I love clicking on the old threads that I got rep from, takes me back to when I was really into things. In retrospect rep wasn't a bad thing, it created a system of checks and balances(it wasn't all on the MOD's) and kept things fun around here.

Yeah but the mods got really tired of getting 100's of PM's every day from ppl crying that they were Neg rep'd and wanting them to do something about it.

I don't think I ever received a single pm from someone crying about neg rep when I was a mod.

It's possible that when they took it down it came to a head and more and more people were complaining. By that point I almost stopped repping people either way because I could make someone have either full green or full red squares.

di-devol · 05-09-2017, 12:34 PM

When did the rep disappear the first time?

<-------- I can care less that I have all these red. This is a message forum and not everyone is going to agree with you. Sometimes its just a bunch of "groupies" ganging up on a single person, which basically abuses the system. I'm sure the abusing will happen again.

Really? Hmm I could have sworn I thought that was a reason why they did away with it cuz I remember some mods talking about it. Or maybe it was the tons of threads ppl made asking about why they were neg rep'd?

Then Again that was 9 years ago so I may not be remembering it correctly lol

I agreed to an extent, but people need to learn that you can disagree with others without being a jerk. Generally speaking, there are 'consequences' for not being 'nice'. I can assure you that most people are more likely to trust someone in the marketplace who is all green vs someone who is all red, so your consequences could be a lost sale. I don't pretend to know you and how you post, so take it with a grain of salt.

Grenade180sx · 05-09-2017, 09:46 PM

I'd plus rep the rep system being back if I could. The best part is going back to see such old posts, ahh how much has changed

EnemyS15 · 05-09-2017, 11:08 PM

I wonder what made the mod(s) to suddenly bring it back? Could it be as simple as them just tired of us asking for the rep system thread after thread?

Either way, I hope this works out well this time around. I dunno when it got removed, but I feel like I joined in after it got removed, so I never got to experience the wonders of the "rep system"

*ManoNegra* · 05-10-2017, 01:50 PM

Never thought I'd see the day.
Guess it's working seeing the # of zilvia zombies coming out their graves.

I think some people just take some things too emotionally/personally to heart as with most millennials nowadays. If you don't want the bad with the good, then don't post.

As for the green vs red in marketplace, it really holds no rhyme or reason to affect any sales/purchases. Just because a group decided to negative rep you for something that hurt their feelings even though you weren't trying to be a jerk. It has nothing to do with your honesty and integrity of selling/buying.

I can see both sides though. As an example, I can see me and a group of my "zilvia friends" negative rep someone like you that have a bunch of green to the red zone for not refunding my money at 7:00 PM today like you said you would though even though it was sent at 7:05 PM. Or half the message forum groupies can negative rep you for sending another "popular" zilvia member a non-working or broken part caused by shipping and the story was misconstrued. People tend to exaggerate or leave certain details out to sway the majority in their favor. Or it is legit and a bad seller can have negative rep too, but at this point why deal with the negative rep when bad sellers should be banned from the marketplace permanently anyway?

na12uto · 05-10-2017, 03:10 PM

Honestly it's a rep system. I some how ended up in the Red and didnt do anything. Didnt stop me from making any less money from my job, building my car, or even stop me from buying me new car. Truth is all I did is bump a harness I sold for my rating to go down, don't let some color bother you
