RE: Reputation System Abuse
You want the entire system removed just because a few people abuse it? That is just to dodgy of a reason to IMHO. I think, one of the following might have to be done:

1. Staff needs to monitor reputations alot more.
2. All reps need to be approved before actually getting to be seen by public and adding/removing from the rep.
3. Get some reputation mods.
4. If all else fails, remove it.

What will be the difference of you, with 10 reputation, or everyone without a reputation?

IMHO, people will think they are just like everyone. =\

I meant that, people who have less reputation aren't treated as good as people with great reputation, so IMHO, removing the reps. will make us all equal.

RE: Reputation System Abuse
well i don't think removing it is the right choice, because it is a good way to say thanks to those that help you

RE: Reputation System Abuse
Why do you guys want the reputation system to stay?

Reputation moderators, why just not have the same mods become reputation moderators?

Report links, meh, I don't know.

the best way to say thanks is by saying Thank You, not by giving them  a positive reputation.
I also think it doesnt make a difference if its there or not, it doesnt give you anything,

if you say they are good for commenting people then why not remove the reputation number and just leave the comment?
You're still breathing? Why?

A positive reputation vote means more than a thank you. You obviously haven't been on any forums where this system was used effectively.

I think we need an Admin/Mod opinion because everyone has different ideas but an A/M can clear things up which could and could not be put into the forum etc.

The thing about RepMods would be people would rep the rep mods so they get rep back lol ... such a pain
