Ok, people, reading this post, I agree in some parts...
1) People shouldn't care so much about Reputation as the forum is for helping and anyone can help (as they can) others.
2)On the other hand, I agree (and could see) that hierarquy exists on this forum by the reputation (and adm...). And agree that most of time, what was discribed (about what is said, gets more "respect" with a higher rep.
3) The reputation can be a "marker" that "what are you doing" on forums...
4) For me, no problem if reputation's system get changed...
-> Thinking about a new system, a
question came to my head... "Ok... the new system is to only neutral/positive reputation (and up to 100 posts) can vote for other mesmber, but If the member that was neg and came to positive makes a "vingance" and vote neg to the other mesmbers?"
-> My suggestion is to allow only higher that a + rep. vote, like higher than "+10"... Because people to get +10 will need a period of time and with that, they will be interested in "getting there"..
Edit: Sorry my english, I'm sleepy now
