Vote-to-delete and reputation: should they be deleted?

For those curious, here's a small sample of how the comments will look.Do you plan on any indicator that the comment was flagged as "outdated" other than the color?

As one of the 49, I admit in broad daylight that the majority (not all, but most) of my deletions (several hundred) are from the Reins of the Time-List Proto-Drake page.
Many could be considered out-of-date, by the reasoning that kill time/location data is only relevant until the mob in question respawns on that realm, thus making those comments outdated within hours.

I'm still liking the reputation system, but I find myself clicking "No" on VtD's at least 90% of the time, and that's indicating something is not quite working the way it should. As has been mentioned earlier, the system has been and is being used by some users to target other users because of a disagreement or two somewhere on the forums. I believe a re-work of the system, perhaps an approval system of some kind - I'm sure there could be a "Voluntary work"-option for that, as well. Perhaps some of the more trusted users on the forums could look through VtD's (I've got no specifics on this, but it would ease up on the mods while still keeping the VtD system - the system is good in theory) when they've got time.
I'm sure many, myself included, would be happy to assist. After all, it's not exactly very nice to have your comments deleted without proper reason, or just because someone doesn't like you.
I'm thinking something along the lines of any comment being voted for deletion requiring, for example, two approvals from mods or appointed users; while it might not completely eliminate the issue, it would certainly help.

Just a quick question - how many comments were deleted by one of the 19 people with the gold achievement?
Pure curiosity I'll admit.
You mean the 49 people?
Yes - naturally <.< >.> (whaddya mean it doesn't say 49? I'm sure it says "4" on that button on my keypad)
Just a quick question - how many comments were deleted by one of the 19 people with the gold achievement?
Pure curiosity I'll admit.
I did the query earlier and I believe it was hovering around 14k.
EDIT: Ran it again, it's 22,210. I like to be precise. ;)
So ~half the VtDeleted comments are done by 49 users (going by Ashelias 44k comments earlier)
That said, I think the 49 gold achievement people probably had safe nominations (I know and recognize all of their names and know them to be healthy contributors), so your complaint sparked the idea to add those 49 users to the query.
As one of the 49, thank you for the compliment.

Announcer guy voice:
"But this summer......"
*Random Car chase action that won't be in the show*
Announcer guy voice:

Dude.....I'm totally watching that show on hulu!

I'm intrigued. I'm giving you the "green light" to write the pilot. Give me a good part. Oh, and some sort of super power.

@rahael I've accepted your latest reports on comments that talk about MP5.
I'm not going to delete them right now cause of all the system changes that are coming.
What I am doing is collecting all the comments that come in as out of date and putting them into a list. When the system changes happen, I'll find those comments and flag them as such.
Keep reporting!
Cheers,
Hat
Edit: Asakawa always brings up good points. I have deleted these comments. That will prevent them from being reported again by another person, and might keep there votes safe. I will undelete them all and flag them as out of date when the system changes happen!(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##hatman555##DELIM##

Which is hopefully soon unless I get bug smacked in the next few days.

thanks, hat and asakawa. i wasn't sure what to do with the comments since i knew VtD was going away so i went ahead and just reported them. ashelia did say that comments deleted by mods were going to stay deleted, so i figured that was the safest route to take. sorry for adding to your workload!

This post was from a user who has deleted their account.

@Tuarceata, this is now dealt with. You were indeed the target of an individual with several accounts. The abusive accounts have been banned, their ratings removed and the real user behind them punished. Thanks.

I was sure I had read in this very thread that loss of reputation for downvotes had been removed and yet today when I was checking my rep page there was -2 rep for a downvote?
Now please let me make myself clear my problem isnt with my particular loss of 2 points of rep it is with seemingly reading one thing when in fact it is another.

Even tho the -2 is there. You aren't actually losing rep. We simply haven't changed the markers yet.

By the way - the downvote reputation showing should be fixed now.
