Southperry Reputation System

You changed a "few people" into "hundreds" and then you changed "posting honest concerns" into "terribly upset and rallying an outcry." That is a complete distortion of what I stated.

And yet my point was still more valid than yours. A handful of insecure people pissing and moaning isn't the end of the world.
You already forfeited all rights to privacy just by joining up here, this by comparison is a truly trivial detail not worth whining about. It can not be "abused" because it has no consequences or purpose beyond being an opinion.

This is helping you guys out stop making it seem like its meant to bring your self esteem down. If these tiny questions can hurt your feelings your not ready for the real world

A bit off topic, but I actually choked on my water seeing street agree (well, basically agree) with Sarah on something.

This is helping you guys out

How?

How?

Statistical smoothing.

I don't get it.

How?

By pointing out your character flaws.

I don't get it.

That would certainly explain your "Has trouble understanding things" score.

Can you add a "doesn't give a f'uck" score?

Seriously though your answer was vague and didn't help...not to mention it isn't a good sign for this feature if the owner of the site is going to use it to put down others, whether the score is real or not.

By pointing out your character flaws.

For real? To start, you would have to be pretty desperate to actually take SP's opinions on your personality seriously. On top of that, you will never know for certain how many votes were for real and how many were just to troll you.

You know what would work out way better? A feedback tab in your profile. It would be similar to the Wall tab, but instead it you would have an option to leave either positive or negative feedback and would give an explanation for the feedback you were leaving. You would be able to choose whether or not you post anonymously and carelessly given feedback without an explanation could be reported and reversed. Feedback would not lead to any kind of rating or statistic in your profile; only an average of what feedback was positive or negative. This way you can get REAL feedback and REAL statistics and not this kiddie facebook RATE ME!!!! garbage.

yes I mad

For real? There is no legitimate reason to take this seriously. To start, you would have to be pretty desperate to actually take SP's opinions on your personality seriously. On top of that, you will never know for certain how many votes were for real and how many were just to troll you.

You're right. There really is no reason to take it seriously. Like you said, 90% of it is probably people being d'icks or trolling. I doubt anyone is voting with 100% sincerity and clarity of thought when doing so.

Greg I'm gonna say you're sort of a jerk. And you don't turn me on. How do you like them apples?

Just for that I'm going to say you're a Maple Story Expert even though you obviously are not one.

Enjoy your forever inaccurate feedback tab.

That's what I thought this was when I read it at first. I was expecting a rep system, like fame.

This is just asking for drama.

As I see it, there already is drama. :/

Isn't it? We need Southperry Popcorn.

Here ya go.

Oh you bastard. Guess who's now a casual gamer!

I agree with Fiel on reductio ad absurdum now. All you are doing is belittling people's concerns and demonizing them by calling their concerns peaching and moaning.

Also, what good will statistical smoothing do for the site? how important is it?
And the consequence is that this system create create prejudice, allow for people to defame others while hiding behind their screen, etc. I've already quoted a threat from a member of this forum, were he threatened to abuse a system like this. Is statistical smoothing worth this?

Sure, maybe you think none of this is a big deal, but is this system and statistical smoothing worth the potential costs and abuse of the system?

Oh you bastard. Guess who's now a casual gamer!

You must be "very self-abusive" because you just knowingly crossed the line. I didn't want to have to do this, but I'm afraid you DO NOT USE IMPECCABLE GRAMMAR.

Sure, maybe you think none of this is a big deal, but is this system and statistical smoothing worth the potential costs and abuse of the system?

For real. I don't know what you mean by potential costs, but I do not understand how Eos believes accurate, or even semi-accurate statistics will come of this when it had already been abused.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Also, what good will statistical smoothing do for the site? how important is it?

Does the Facebook gadget have any importance? Nope. It's just there to be there. It's the same with the reputation system, except the reputation system points out people's character flaws (though, as said before, it's probably going to be wrong 99% of the time).
