De-rep caused a lot of problems before due to user abuse.
People would de-rep because they simply didn't like the person, not due to the validity of their statement.
Of course, making the name of the user who de-repped you caused problems as well, but making that anonymous would be even worse, in my opinion.
It causes rifts between people on the forum, and we try to keep it positive and supportive here. De-rep would not help that.
Not like we don't have those already. What with people bringing server drama on threads that are completely unrelated and people trying to fan the flames hours later after a mod warning (Yours actually)... Yeah people can report them but these guys don't seem to care since it's not the first time they do this.

They'll end up caring once they're banned, I can assure you.

I don't see why everyone gets so worked up over +rep and -rep. It's a silly thing to do you guize.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned favoritism amongst the mods.

I don't want to say much about this subject cause I just got unbanned but this needs to be dealt with.
Like for example with thee the name color/skull icon thing really puzzled me.
If you want to try new features you should at least tell the community instead of giving them these features secretly.
Anything else I say might be biased.

Those people aren't going to stick around for long if they keep it up.

The skull thing... It's not mods, or even any of the rest of the staff. It's just Osay.
You can ask him why he can't just use his own dummy accounts instead. *sigh*

Not to mention it's just an icon, not special privileges.
There are far more things that they could do that is biased/ power abuse.

I know that, I don't like pointing out names since it was an example and not a rant.
And by mods I thought we were talking about forum members with powers.

Unfortunately it seems like it was just brushed aside.

We're friends with lots of members on the forum, since we actually browse, unlike staff on something more professional and sterile, like Nexon.
It's difficult to make a decision when a friend is involved, but we try to be as fair as possible.
Also, most of the time, action is taken in private. We don't plaster it all over the news when we hand out an infraction, or we ban someone. You might think it's favoritism, but the other party might have received the same warning.
As for members with special powers, I don't know what you're talking about.
The skull icons, like said before, was just Osay testing things, and had nothing to do with the rest of the staff. The same goes for the purple names that weren't removed along with the rest of them.
We don't like favoritism, and we try to value all members the same.
If you ever feel like there's favoritism going on, don't make a fuss in a thread, but PM a staff member.

That's debatable.
Just cause it doesn't give you any power doesn't mean it's not a privilege to have.

I didn't mean make everything public but the little things such as the skull icons so they can won't create topics saying "Oh that's favoritism!"
I really doubt anything bad can come making a topic that says "Hi, I'd like to test a new feature and I think these people will qualify for the job"
Also by forum members with powers I meant mods, super mods, admins, ect.
Anyways I don't want to continue posting about this, it's getting off-topic. :S
