One idea could be to give admins the ability to see which account is giving rep to whom. That way suspicions cold easily be verified by tracking a persons rep history.
that could work. but Umaro will know for sure.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
Lol, I remember at Nival, ten people collected and started to give out each other reputation all the time. Then the administration caught up with them and they got arguing whether or not was that a legal thing to do...
undoubtly everyones going to pay d3 when it comes out. but we could get everyone on at like a certin time and have "rep point time" or something like that. everyone who is behind can get help from others and whoever dosent have much time can get a few items here or their to help them out untill they get more time to play. then an "admin" in the game will dish out gold to each of us helping the clan.
we can also make certin "teams" who always play together and have like competitions who can get the furthest and they could be rewarded w/ gold.
for example the few that we have "under oath not order" is our little sect and we can get more people depending on our play style, goals, how many people d3 will have in a game and hate or love for each other.
now what to do with the gold thats another story.

Undoubtedly that would happen here too unless strict rules were enforced. Otherwise we have two scenarios:
1. Admins take action, and 10 people get really pissed off and start to throw trash everywhere.
2. Administration doesn't take action, and everybody else becomes angry.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

That only happened once on a gigantic forum, I don't think we need any strict rules. It was more of a joke than anything. Besides, it was perfectly legal, they weren't cloning or anything.
The only problem with reputation is that people have the ability to take it away. I myslef have had a few points of rep added to my name, but I was stripped of a point all because I told someone that a comment they had posted was completely stupid and off topic. For that I suffered a penalty to my rep. So if they were going to make that part of the reward system then they would indeed have to implement a way of checking and confirming whether or not that person deserved to have that reputation added or removed.
I am aware that the reputation does in fact work, but it doesn't do anything. When you hover over myself or many of the other posters on this site it says that we are on a distinguished road. Whereas if you hover over Elfen or Lord Silver, it says they will become famous soon enough. It is merely the fact that there is no reward or penalty for being famous or a wanker.
a harse one but a reward system none the less, i know of one website where you cannot make a sig until you earn enough points t odo so, luckily the required amount of points isnt very high, about 10 posts and you have your target.

It is still a reward system that encourages spamming. I liked Phrozen's Idea for the time delay before you can do certain things.
Not so much with a sig or an avatar but a time delay before you can give reputation or whatever. By the time they can send rep they would be bored of it and give up.
indeed if the rep points had some overall rules applied to them they could work but i still odnt c much happening wuth the gold/forum points u receive from them
yes we could buy items and all. BUt whos to say wat prices what should be(especially in d3) and how are we to aquire these items to sell off for rep points? not unless umaro wants to possibly buy certain items(maybe ebay or just plain find them) and auction them off to the highest bidder 1 item at a time. Because frankley if we had multiple items to purchase on this site i dont see the stock of buyable items replenishing fast enough.
Maybe umaru could set up item hunters. Like mods but are volunteering their services to hunt for rare items and supply them to the d3.com site. For the sheer purpose of auctioning off to the posters of the forum.
That could work. I would gladly volunteer my services to Umaru and supply him with a rare item once a month so that he could hold a competition or an auction to determine who is worthy of holding such an item.
That is a kind of reward system I guess, but it encourages too much spamming.
No, there's actually been a monopoly on posts there. Newbies are shot down very quickly and if you have over a certain amount of posts, but not the same amount of credibility, it is too difficult to be taken seriously anymore. I topped out around 1300 posts but there are so many rules and high ranking posters dominating it, it just sucked all the fun out of it for me.
Well, in this forum, the reputation system doesn't work. It's there, but no one uses it. I have no idea why.
Decreasing reputation is completely normal. And you don't have to prove anything. If you don't like someone's post, you decrease their reputation because you don't, otherwise, there is no point in the whole reputation thing, it should be free...
Regarding limitations, on Nival, you can give rep 10 times a day. Worked OK for 4 years or so.
there used to be lots, then we got the spam section, that reduced the amount of spam in threads dramatically.

There's hardly any spam on it ever, though.
