Proposed change to rep point system, no removals, edits only

Proposed change to rep point system, no removals, edits only



Earlier today, I received the following reputation point. I have my suspicion that this point was given in the hopes that I would complain about it, at which point they would remove it, in order to make me look foolish.

Regardless of whether this was this person's intent or not, I see the potential for manipulating people by way of the reputation point system in this manner as undesirable.

I'm not sure I understand why removal should be allowed at all, but I feel it would help prevent such acts if reputation points given could be edited, but not removed, except by a moderator, preferrably with an appropriate annotation in the change log.

Just my two cents worth.

Wow that is a highly immature thing to do and seeing your post I believe it is completely uncalled for.

He did the same thing to Hovik and the comment was similarly removed.

Reputation isn't important, but hey what do I know? I could care less of what people think of me and any reps I have gotten seem to be sincere.

Spectrum trying to look pretty in PINK?


Or someone we have known before?

Can't. They nuked the gauntlet, remember? (Although 'the condemned' is still in the color legend for some reason...)

Spectrum has been warned. He agreed to abstain in the future.

I just found he gave me one, I love it, it sums me up so well.

'Pseudo-intellectual hipster who uses verbiage to sneak his way atop the moral high ground. Too bad he's not clever enough to do so covertly...'

Come on, I think it could not be more accurate, and it made me laugh, which is always a good thing. I would have preferred punk to hipster, but I am happy!

Now all I have to do is find a post where he is not being an obnoxious little brat which seems like a hard task at the moment and give him a point to say thank you.
