If this is a good idea, back it. Otherwise, i'm going to take the risk and set myself up for a flame.
Obviously a lot of games and posts in the forum contain flames. Surely it would be a good idea to incorporate karma/rep into each persons profile like some other websites do, whereby the community can increase/decrease a players rep based on professionalism. This would enable regular offenders to be punished and dish out automatic bans for limited periods of time, whether it be forum or game bans - saving the admins a lot of work.
Also, in terms of recruitment it would allow teams to view a persons rep and allow them to make an assumption on a persons character before actually trying to recruit them. Sometimes you get people on teamspeak come on to trial and they flame away.
In conclusion, to this wonderful yet trivial idea. A rep system would allow UNGL to punish players who flame all the time and allow people who do abide by the rules to reap some benefits.
Thank you for your time and continued patience.

It could be too easily abused groups of friends could target innocent people etc.

Shut up you ugly ****.

To prevent that you could have to upload a screenshot of why the person you're giving bad karma to deserves it. I.e. Flame in-game ...Then reviewed by admins. Gives another job for a member of the community.

Move with the times TayTay all about that hashtag vibe now

Yep. This would work perfectly for this community.

#loljk this website is full of retards.

It would be abused by people like ehm and that hlk guy, they are the reason why something like this would never work.

**** just got real

I have no idea why I've been noted here

A) since I don't even know you, never ever spoken to you. B) I rarely even comment on here any more C) even when I did, I rarely said anything. No idea where you got this from.

It's ironic how this concept is taken from Esea, where I have been helping represent them in Europe from their launch. Then I am presented as a flaw of it working elsewhere. The reason this wouldn't work has been displayed by you just now, judging someone for no apparent reason but to illicit a response. Here's you're response, you are indeed correct, I would definitely lower your karma.

What deadly said.....

Ding ding ding out come the handbags today we have a less intresting fight than most days with i helped ESEA since launch in Europe

take it somewhere else lads in otherwords shut up :D , you never know if something like this would actually work until its tried like most things it really is a trail and error concept .

but i still beat you in an awp 1v1 kieu +1 me karma

Where's the fight Kieu? I just defended myself from a completely random attack.

Ehm isn't and hasn't been on the website for a good while now :S

Site's fine the way it is, why change it...

No league is perfect there is always room for improvement and ways to make the league more enjoyable for people. This is a minor change that's not going to dramatically change the use of the website so whats the problem EdwarD?

 grillzeE.
perfection is nothing but a matter of opinion, changing the site to ones needs might upset another's. Where as now; it's fine. Why change...

Obviously it isn't fine as there are complaints everyday regarding peoples attitude in game and on the forum. Bans are proof of this. Also, a large majority of people have the problem of trialing people who they later find is a flamer or just totally immature. Furthermore, posting GL or 'good player' on a persons recruitment application. It would be easier if someone had a rep surely?
I put this forward to eradicate some of these problems. Not saying its everyone's problem by any means. When a product is released - especially a website such as this - where change is always occurring with new games being released etc - it is important with an influx of new people to the community to keep it under control and get the best playing experience possible and I think being able to identify the idiots or people with low reps at the start would be a good way to achieve the best playing experience possible and not include them in your games.
Someone wouldn't decrease your rep for no apparent reason unless something has been done to invoke it. It's like me, before you posting on this forum, going onto your profile and decreasing your rep, i'd never do it as I have never played or spoken to you lol.

But each to their own :)

[quote]Someone wouldn't decrease your rep for no apparent reason unless something has been done to invoke it,[/quote]

I'm going to politely disagree.

Well, if someone decreased my karma, I'd be confident of getting more + karma by other people, I wouldn't and don't currently worry anywhere else because it's a minority, and a negative opinion is usually backed up with a positive one from friends and new people who think you're positive impact on the scene.

So really it's only those with Negative karma figures (-15 e.g) they don't even have friends to bail them out because they are universally adverse.

Saying people will abuse it, is an exaggeration of the assumption there isn't a counter-balance of real karma applicated.
