I don't think it should be disabled...not because I kinda have a lot for a new person...but there's a lot of people who pride themselves upon their rep, and they'd get angry and all sorts of things would happen.
The people who get rep abused should just disable theirs, I guess, even if it isn't very fair.
I thought this was discussed once before, but I can't remember. o.O

You do realise that we've had this discussion already twice in the last couple of months ^^;
So i'll just quote what i said before:
Basically, rep is somtimes abused both good (by friend circle repping) and bad (by giving random bad rep), but your rep level really honestly does not matter.
My reason for liking rep is to see the nice comments people leave, not to see how much i have in total.
A person's rep doesn't reflect who they are -your posts do that.
For the people who feel the need to abuse, fine they can go ahead and do that, because people aren't judged on their rep and they're gaining nothing from it. It's just pointless and they themselves know it.
If you are receiving continual bad rep then PM one of the higher staff and we will look into it (to see whether it is given by one member, in which case they will have their ability to give rep disabled).
If rep does bother you to that great an extent, you can just turn it off.

Polls regarding this wouldnt be such a good idea -think of how many thousands of members PC has. You'd need a fair amount to vote to actually gain any information that you could assume reflects the population. There's also the problem of people having multiple accounts and voting :\

Yup, couldn't agree more.
It doesn't matter if you have a million blocks of bad rep, it doesn't change who you are. ^^
They're just a few pretty blocks, nothing more.

I agree,Claire and Demonic Angel. They both're right. If you hate reputation,just disable it.

Yeah, so no point of this. I guess we can shut up now and let Claire close it, nay?

Ya, it may as well be closed since it was already discussed at an earlier date ^^
