Negative AntiPoints

Terr, I like your idea. Thanks for your added suggestion.

yep terr has a really good point that ppl would just find other posts 2 apply antipoints 2
i like the "stale idea" :)

perhaps you could even go so far as to have it so that a specific user could only recieve X amount of positive antipoints a day and X amount of neggys in addition to terr's idea. then people couldn't just go and distrubute antipoints, come back, and do it again to another of their posts in the thread.

These are really good ideas and I hope that they are implemented. Good luck on that. Maybe you guys could take it up with a moderator or something, or an admin.

I don't like the idea of limiting antipoints for specific threads/posts. If you make an stupid post then you should face the consequences, otherwise what's the point in having the system in the first place? Some threads might get you banned straight away (e.g. if you said something *really* insulting to JP or indeed any other AO member - I won't give an example because some stupid newbie will probably repost it, but you know what I mean).

I like Terr's idea of stale threads, partially because some of my threads from months ago have just recently been bumped up to the top of the listings. Some of the things I said then I would never write now (my arguments with Negative is the main example), so I don't think that I should be given positive/negative antipoints for them, although I suppose that it would be fair to do so because I did write that and time is really an excuse.

I agree with gamemaster and terry over the limit of antipoints and the stale accounts. But, pwaring is also right when he says that some threads "should get you banned straight away". An idea is to give senior members or higher the privilege to assign over the limit antipoints and to few people the power to directly ban.

Greetings All:

Ok, our new "Suicide Threads" now helps to make sure that these types of "AntiPoint Floggings" don't get too harsh.

Thanks for the suggestion gamemaster!
