Add neutral!

You could change from Postiive/Negative to Agree/Disagree, or Like/Dislike. Also, there could be an article about "How To" Rep" where you basically explain that rep needs to be made on the basis of individual posts, and shouldn't have any external context. I think it needs to be policed a little for it to work, but I think as long as the time spent doing this is willing to be put in, it's an excellent value-adding feature.

People already get the "like" concept from facebook so I'm sure it'd help the transition in thinking for some people

nirvAnA:

amazing!

Thanks to everyone for their comments.

A lot of people have suggested a neutral rep, so we have added this in and shall test it out for a while.
Thanks goes to xpaperclip for coding it up.

The majority of the community 55% vs 30% seem keen to keep neg rep, so it will be restored, and we will look into removing the possibility of leaving neg comments so it forces people who have something negative to say to post about it and not just leave a neg comment.

These aren't final changes, its just a trial and there will be a proper re-evaluation done in about a weeks time.

People who abuse the "neutral rep" and use it as "neg rep" will just have their rep powers removed.

I like the ability to comment on peoples posts. It provides a fast and easy way to provide an opinion (either in favour or against) the respective post.

On another note, this is a great idea. I strongly support neutral comments.

[raycey]

I disagree with this outcome. What's the point of neutral rep? It looks like an obsolete version of pos rep. I also don't think neg rep should come back as it's bound to upset people (no-one likes to see a frowny face under their post). If anything the neutral rep should replace neg rep.

[mGGDrGooSe]

Hahaha, the neutral rep image just changed before my eyes. Psychadelic! Thought I was going insane or something.

Maybe fire will hurt it? Maybe it's friendly? MAYBE THERE'S STILL HOPE!

[IcedTea]

Lol. The neutral face scares me.
Its like.. I HAVE NO FACE. 0_________0

My imagination is just too wild.

[faithHunter]

The neutral face should be a straight face instead of a blank face.

[xGKingdelete]

just imagine it as a yellow dot point

[nirvAnA]

btw its kinda hard to decide which icon to use. Anyone is welcome to submit something better and I'll just use whatever people like.

Keep in mind how they will look when compared next to the other reps, thats why I initially had a chatbox icon thing but changed it to on dox's suggestion for consistency reasons.

Original:


First attempt:


Member comments: Inconsistent

Second attempt (ty system):


Member comments: Looks too negative?

Third attempt:


Member comments: Too similar, soulless?

Fourth Attempt:
korean face accidentally over written sorry

Suggestions: (Ty Gentleman)

(Smirk!)

(Smaller mouth, less negative looking)

[dippa]

third option (line face) is best I think; blank face is kinda soulless.

[TheGentleman]

Actually, I like this one:

Current:

but line face is probably the most easily understood.

[TheGentleman]

I've put forward two more possibilities:

, which looks similar to except that the mouth is less long and therefore looks less bored.

and which looks sort of content.

nirvAnA:

it was implemented an hour ago, crtl + f5! and look how useful neutral rep is! :)

[Asrathiel]

I like the smirky one too. Probably it's not gonna eat me in the middle of the night like the other one...

[NDG.Stitch]

I agree with people that think the rep system is not really useful.
To me I think it just seems like its biased, and it's not really a useful tool. If my posts are good and you like it, I'd rather have someone actually reply and say why they liked it and stuff instead of having a head that nods that goes to my rep. To me it just feels like having it there not only makes it more of a competition around SEA to only satisfy the viewers, but it also gives me a very childish image of our server. Overall I don't mind it, but I don't think its a necessary thing to have on this forum.

[inFeZa]

I like it how it is.
Keep it
As for the faces.

Idra = Negative Rep
White-ra = Positive rep
