The Great Forum Unbanning of 2014

This will probably change nothing.

Yeah, this isn't the real change we need. We need to get rid of someone.

 

[Mushroom]

Is the idea of the new rules just to eliminate moderating anything anymore?

Perhaps they've decided to take my advice?

I think PFN should adopt a communist system where everyone is an admin.

The idea of the new rules and moderation structure was to make action even across the board for everyone.

 

[Pretzel Kaiser]

I can't help but think that letting those who required the most moderation is the wrong way to achieve that...

I don't see how you can do this and still not bring back negative rep.

This. YOU GET IT

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

Besides, Red is a lovely color.

 

[MrLaptop]

Not sure about the neg-rep. I think it is clearly stated how one feels about you negatively in replies, but leaving a permanent scar on your profile even if you've grown past it is potentially harsh.

That being said, maybe there should be rules to the negative rep instead of keeping it disabled. Neg-repping over inconsequential things is something I'm concerned about, because I make loads of inconsequential mistakes.

 

[Jonquil]

NO NEGATIVE REP. I hope we're not seriously considering bringing that back...

 

[Mushroom]

I still have neutral rep on my account from a certain someone...

OMG, back in the day, I was the same way and was deep in the red. My, how times have changed.

This is why we need neg rep.

We didn't know about your Neutral Rep. Zachary just removed it. Anyone who has Neutral or Negative Rep, please PM Staff and we will delete it for you, as well.

I was going to give you more neutral rep, but then saw we are too care bear around here for even that much.

 

[UncleDuncan]

I feel like I should PM the staff about my lack of Positive Rep.

 

[MrLaptop]

^^More like civil bear.
Okay you can give me neutral rep for that.

 

[Jonquil]

If negative/neutral rep and that sort of childishness starts, I'm outta here. Don't gots the time nor patience for that nonsense.

Note that no one on the staff has proposed bringing it back.

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

I will say that when neg rep was used in the way it was used on me, NOT in a personal issues fight, but because people didn't like me making constant mistakes, I learned, and it has made me a better forum member. I would be 100% supportive if negative rep came back, and it was moderated to only be civil, supportive criticism.

 

[MrLaptop]

I'd be 50%. I think neutral suffices.
