From 100% to 30% reputation for no reason?

Does anyone know if this is a bug?

I played 2 games and it went from 100% -> 60% -> 30%. (no disconnects/quitting)

Can this be fixed?

Hi

It is explained on your profile : you got too many red thumbs from other players.

A significant proportion of players (more than 20%) report that they don't like playing with you.
The main reason is the following: Quitting games in progress.

Recent penalties
0 Quits and 1 Timer
(On 29 recent games)

I don't think I have quit any games. How can that be correct?

Red thumbs are subjective. It looks that at least 3 different players consider you quit a game in progress. It may not appear as a penalty on your profile, as they might have decided to abandon the game. Only you may have an idea of what happened here.

Okay, thanks for the insight.

I haven't quit any games for sure. You can probably see through the history of games I have played. Sadly the mechanics of how this reputation works is quite unfair. Simple things like 'subjective' thumbs down from a collective group may cause you to lose 70% of your reputation with no further investigation involved.

If I was at 100% reputation at some point, it should show some credibility as a user/gamer on this site, considering I have only been active these past 2 days.

Thanks for replying anyway.

Kind Regards,
Socatan

Hi

I'm going to analyse this situation, and contact the players who give you red thumbs, so I can check wether there is a flaw in the system or not.

À moins de n'avoir pas assez cherché, les joueurs ne sont pas informés du nombre de pouces rouges reçus, ni du pourcentage correspondant, susceptible d'affecter leur karma s'il dépasse une certaine limite.
Si les pouces rouges sont destinés à améliorer le comportement des joueurs, il faudrait être informé des pouces rouges reçus, comme c'était le cas avant l'introduction du karma. La baisse brutale du karma après excès de pouces rouges intervient un peu tard pour être efficace.

Oh, that's quite worrying to hear. So I assume my account will just stay at 30% even though I have not done anything wrong. Is there a way to increase my reputation from 30%?
