One of the reasons someone said the rep is a good thing was because it let the mod know if he/she is a good person. Since it is only them who deal out the punishments it would be good for them to see it.


Thats not right. I could get 20 people to neg and put all lies. the mods wont think your a good person or not just by looking at rep.
It would be fairly easy for a mod to work out that that member had been ganged up on...

But then if a newbie with a history of giving bad advice posts a rubish post in a help thread, and another newbie posts the right advice. How does the person who asked for help know who to believe?
That's the point of the rep system, so new people know who's good or bad on the forum.
However if the limit is 10 posts that would be ok, it lets the person find their feet and lets you see if they have any bad habits will stick around.

I think stricter moderation is all thats needed, make it easyer to get banned from giving reps. I also think that reporting reps should be just like reporting posts, with a button and all. We're all lazy as well =p

Perhaps also some rephrasing. So getting a neg isn't deemed as a "You suck i hate you vote" but a "I think you need to improve on this....." vote. Positive for praise, negitive for improvement.

I actually agree with this comment. We need stricter moderation and maybe a little text hyperlink beside each vote that allows you to report that rep.

Yeah and maybe a quick report button on the rep page and that should be much eaiser for us and for wdz.
Lets face it if any of us see's a bad rep we may report it once in a while but if there are loads then we wont.

that's all we really need imo.. because i know i'm too lazy to get the url of the rep and send a pm, yet i report posts often..

RE: Get rid of the reputation system
The rep system lets me know if a user often posts fake material or is a known spammer back with a different account. When I see a ton of negatives and read the comments I know I shouldn't trust this person. Therefore I believe the rep system should stay :P.

To be honest, I'm surprised at the amount of people who think it should stay.

If I may ask, why was it removed long-time ago by first place?

What? Are you refering to MyBB's default rep system?
Was that even part of mybb when it was first implemented on this forum? :-/

I imagine it was removed back then because there was no need, with a smaller userbase it would have been quite clear who was who. Now we have new member posting all the time, and you need a better idea of the quality of the members posts and behaviour.

That was the answer for my question, thanks.
