Far fetched server idea

I am aware that i am posting this in the skyblock thread, as i feel this idea will most commonly be used here and maybe on survival/realms.

Loads of new (and veteran) players fall foul to some nasty scams by other well known players. Since scamming is not technically a bannable offence, there is not a lot you as staff members can do, which often leaves the players feeling helpless.

My suggestion is adding a reputation system. A system quided by points that is only visible via a command, which shows the reputation of a player.

Example:

Baseline value will be zero. everytime a player helps someone, or has a successful trade, it goes up.
Every time a player is banned, or scams, it goes down.

Obviously there will have to be some form of moderation, which is why i was hesitant to post this. so dont shoot me down just yet. For things like successful trades, that doesnt require much moderation, as you may be able to base it off the trading system you already have. Donating money to new players could be a server added reputation command, added along side the /pay command.

This system could be open to people trying to "farm" these reputation points, so to help limit that, maybe put a cap on how many you can earn a day, or doing a particualar thing.

Any comments on this would be warmly accepted. and thank you for reading this bizzare idea.

I really like that idea. Really smart.

sounds cool until someone starts doing this stuff with their alt to get it up lolol

Maybe limit the total amount of positive points from one person to a certain value, but keep it possible for them to deduct points if something bad where to happen down the road.

thats why i suggeted that cap

Hm idk, sounds kinda pointless to me.

Im definitely in favour of this idea, Great Suggestion, Hope it gets added

Sounds like a really cool idea but could easily be abused with alts or friends.

Again... people seem to miss this... this is why i suggested the cap... limit the amount of points you can get and give...

even though there would be a cap people could still just only use it for their alt or friends to make it look like they have it up from tons of different players and easily scam someone because of that

this is why it would require moderations

It can still be abused even with a cap, people can simply log on daily and grind for them. If somebody on the staff team had to moderate it that would also add extra work to the staff members, its not fair to them. A feature that perhaps limits amount of rep received PER PERSON to just a small amount so you cannot grind off of people

I think staff should rewards these points, because I trust the staff to know when someone is trying to farm points with their alt ect.
Also I disagree with removing points for scamming, I just think they shouldn't gain points as fast as without scamming, because after a while scammers wont care about losing points.

wait sorry I didnt understand that the staff were rewarding points in the first place xD

it should be a cap for every IP address

People who don’t like you would just knock down your reputation points for no reason. Staff/Youtubers for example would obviously be hit really hard by this. If staff were the only ones doing this that would make it alright, but I doubt current staff want more responsibility than they currently have.
