How would you say your reputation on forums is?

Would people have positive things to say about you or negative things?
 
Off Topix has a great system. The Thank You modification works great, because it's similar to rep, and it's optional. You don't give people No Thank You's, you only give out Thank You's. I believe this same principle should be applied for rep. Giving someone a positive +1 is fine, but a negative -1rep causes too much trouble and conflict. Avoid the mess and only allow members to reward one another when they appreciate each others good doings, not punish them by giving them the opportunity to lower their stats.
 
Honestly I have no idea. I haven't really done much for a while and I've kept a low profile. I don't really have any active feuds going with people off forums at the moment which is good.

I hope my rep is positive!

Positive. I'm generally well liked, people come to me to talk about various things and just regard me as helpful and such.



As for actual reputation systems. Hadaway (my forum) has a set system that I like. Unlike here you can Yay or Nay someone which while Naying someone may cause drama I think it's a good thing to have in reputation systems as then it shows people what other people may not like about how they post (like trolling and the like) and therefore change their behavior/attitude.
 
I have to say my reputation on forums is pretty good. Also I would say people have positive things to say about me, I do my best to help out my best on the forums I am active on.
 
Depends who you talk to. Generally, I would imagine people would say positive things about me.
