I am specifically looking for your perception of how MGoPoints system has changed the behavior of people who visit this blog.To be honest, I think that there has become a lot more group think since the point system has started. In the old days, there was more of a free-for-all type land of chaos and anarchy, where every divergent opinion could be offered up. Now, dissention is rarely tolerated, perhaps a little too rarely. Every opinion that doesn't seem to fall in line with the majority is "negged." Sometimes this is a positive, because "ARGH RR IS THE SUXORS" gets tiring and ridiculous, and we're tired of hearing it. But other times I think some quality debate wouldn't hurt anyone.
What improvements would you like to see in the MGoPoints system? Do you think overall it is worth having a reputation system of this kind?First: Yes, it is absolutely worth it. I think the only improvements that could help is a higher threshold for starting threads. I know when I first started out I didn't really understand the full mantra of the board, and it took me well more than 20 points to truly understand what was a good thread and what was a bad thread. Love Deadspin or hate it, their comment system of promotion and relegation seems to clear out a lot of the inane comments (well, at least the ones that aren't funny, pretty much all the comments are inane in some way.) Perhaps that would be a useful option here, where commenters who frequent the board every day, invest the time to start good threads, and have a lot of points can have more responsiblity to making the board even better. Hope this helps.

How can I avoid downvotes? Don't be redundant. Don't use stupid nicknames like O$U. Spell things correctly. Don't post useless replies like "I agree" and whatnot.

Posbanging your own posts is very emo/BlueAdams/NickSaban/etc. I negbang my own posts just for the fuck of it. I also neg relatively harmless posts if I know the person will flip out like a little bitch about being negged. Bouje used to do it, he's grown up though.
