Props are now up and down +/-

[dUSt]

The prop (reputation) system is now positive and negative. Now you can use props to "not like" a post. This will also decrease a member's reputation score.

I made the negative prop limit much smaller than the positive prop limit.

I think this will more accurately reflect a user's "reputation".

Also, unlike in the past, the negative props are not anonymous--so people will be able to see who liked or disliked posts.

I will use negative props for posts that are rude and uncharitable, and not for things I simply disagree with.

I hope this will motivate people to not only think about what they post, but how they are posting it.

Let the complaining (or negative props) begin...

Thanks boss.

I would rather we not do this. I thought the negative points from before encouraged a lot of hostility. But I'd you think it will work, I guess I will give it a try.

I notice I have already gotten one negative somewhere.

​LOL. I disliked your nazi cat picture. As a general rule, I will generally negative prop any type of nazi propganda. hahaha

Nazi propaganda? What were you drinking this morning?

​Like Nihil, I have concerns, although this new system of "ups and downs" addresses some of my concerns based on past experience.

@‌dUSt, it looks as if you have thought this through, so I'll see what happens. I know you are always doing your best to make Phatmass the best it can be.

I know which post you mean. It just seems like you would have to be a bit touched in the head to want to call it Nazi propaganda.

​Actually, I was looking for a post to test the negative prop feature. A picture of a cat wearing a swastika just seemed right.

I'm curious to see how long it takes for this to get so abused that you decide to take it off.

[franciscanheart]

YAY!! Thanks, dUSt!

[Nihil Obstat]

You should even it out then.

I tried voting down  just cause, but it appears I cant. It says I have a limit of 1 per day but I havent voted anyone down yet.

​Do negative props decrease overall prop count?

​Justice is served.

​Do negative props decrease overall prop count?

​They do.

[dUSt]

​Do negative props decrease overall prop count?

​I hope so.

[dUSt]

​Do negative props decrease overall prop count?

​Yes, they do. Thanks for testing. haha

[Luigi]

I just figured that out - all by myself!

As a Cordial Non-Catholic, are we allowed to down vote? Appears I can  up vote but not down vote.

​I just made the prop limit for n00bs and non-Catholics +10 and -5.
