Tolerance and behavior in this forum

[Yakui]

Just for comparison, forgetting to search the mainsite first results in +10% warning level. That isn't really a big deal. A reputation of -1, however, is a big deal. Getting out of that reputation is really hard. Other members know that you've done something wrong, read it, and judge you even harder. As soon as you do your next mistake, your reputation goes further down. We have this warning system, and we (aka. staff) use it. There's no need to -rep others for minor offenses.

I completely agree with this specific part.

Punishing a new member for a mistake is complete and utter backseat moderating, the idea that you feel obliged to act as a "mod" and rate and judge other users simply because you feel more experienced by them is pig disgusting and we should hand out bans for such future behavior, if not even completely remove the reputation system.

In my eyes the reputation system was useless and distasteful to begin with. If you look around now it seems to actually matter to people, which really shouldn't be the case, because a post should be judged individually, disregarding from which user it came. Post content > the user, in any case, and if that is understood then the quality standards for posts is higher. This is probably one of the most problematic things about individualistic forums, okay.

Pointing out someone's mistakes is very very rude by the way, and there's a reason us staffers have the possibility of issuing warns while you guys have a big fat report button you should be using if you really feel the urge instead of working through the reputation system. It's our job to keep the forum clean, it's your job to behave. Janitors like me are pretty much just users with a few extra priviledges that make sure everything's okay, while any other members are just responsible for playing nicely. It's nice to get some help such as reported posts that save people like me the trouble of checking through various topics making sure everything's okay.

Yes, but some of then need some light

When i was new i didn't made such mistakes.

The only posts you're responsible for are your own, I really can't stress this enough.
