reputation system - a suggestion

[popopot]

It sounds good in principle but I imagine it is harder to execute. Rep points should be given out for trades and not necessarily free invites. A generous person who does giveaways will be noticed by the community and could be rewarded accordingly.

Perhaps the whole point of the rep system has been forgotten/misunderstood, but I think it should strictly be for trading and not free giveaways - especially if someone does the free giveaways just for a rep points!

Besides there would a shed load more spamming:

'Why did you give me negative rep?' blah, blah, blah.....

I like the idea, but I wouldn't substract negative points from positive ones.
It would be more accurate if we could see both positive and negative points (and everyone should give a reason as to why they gave a negative point)

i think there should be neg points. Where you can see both negative and positive points. Its fair. The current system can be abuse aswell. I guarentee fake trades are carried out everyday. The big reason why Ebay has them both is to keep users honest....
i think the people who are afraid are the people who would have neg rep points

Good point, especially if you easily see what the rep points were for and that a comment has to be made for each +/- rep point given, so you can if its for spam, scamming, etc.

[hungdob]

i think thats a great idea becuase people wont post useless posts and will be afraid to break the rules

[OmaRin0]

i'm sure that some n00b will just put negative points to every one..

[hungdob]

thats why someone will have to supervise on this system

There should be a limit of possible negative points that someone could give per day. You agree? That will prevent someone just spamming everyone with negative rep points.
And also, +1 on that idea for both pos. and neg. rep points to be shown in the profile.

Maybe you could use the ebay example in the question, so that people know exactly what you are talking about
Something like "Do you think FST rep system should be based on ebay's one, allowing members to give both positive and negative points?"
