If your plan is so thought out, how is it there are so many ways for it to be abused?

There isn't, although it would be good if we made the player have at least 5 hours. It isn't much but it is pretty annoying to give rep... unless they could script so a player of the same PC Id couldn't rep the same person twice even on different accounts. If you're caught abusing it... It would be jailable.

Jailable on every server? We have this amazing thing called a 'ban'

Don't like the idea of global hours and igname reputation...

Well Global hours is one that is more important of the two in my opinion...

I do sort of like the global hours thing, but reputation is a bad idea, so is the viewing of ban/jail history.

Many worlds have account access which means they can change how many hours you have on a server. Its bad enough people idle hours without having them have a reason to start actually changing hours of people on their servers.

Maybe if a lot of servers were using rep systems this would make sense, but if there's no demand for local rep systems a global one doesn't make much sense. The forum rep system sort of already acts as a global rep system anyways.

The global time sounds like a good idea. Like have "Server Time" then under have "Global Time"

Yeah, maybe the rep system should be local for each server. But the hours can be edited? Eh never seen it happen...

I think it's time to let go of these ideas. It's been up for pretty much exactly a month, with no promising feedback from anyone who could even implement the ideas.

On a side note, profiles are purple and displaying too far to the right =D

Well, in my eyes I would choose global hours over the reputation system. Global hours shows the total time they have been on Graal which matters for many things. The reputation system is basically to save people from getting scammed and showing how much you can trust that person. It would also help at hiring. Let's say you have 13 reputation, and the other person has 33 reputation. You both are knowledgeable a subject so you try out. You both are pretty much are the same, although they know they can trust the person with 33 reputation more; at least until the person with 13 reputation proves otherwise by getting his rep up or the person with 33 rep drops. By the way, your idea is pretty good TSAdmin.

The rep system is a really bad idea... People would flame accounts once a day just to be mean or things like that. They would list ridiculous things because someone beat them in an event... And as far as scamming goes, that is what staff is for, or someone could fairly easily make a secure trading system. The global hours is not as bad of an idea, but hours still show very little, there are complete idiots with over 1000 hours and people who have 20 who are already fitting in the community and remaining respectable, idling is a huge factor that distorts those numbers, being on more than one server at a time + having rc on will cause mass hour gains by idlers. Besides if you are trying to prove that someone is not new, you want LOCAL hours because none of the servers work in remotely the same ways.
