Mwar, ya may as well keep it. Although, I think that maybe less rep should be given per rep increase/decrease. Mine was skyrocketed to this with? erm, 9 increases thereabouts. People should only have this level of rep if they truly deserve it?
 
That could be fixed by having only mods and admins etc allowed to give/take rep.

^i agree alittle,but then the friends of the mods. would have lots of rep. while the little people(noobs,people not always online,ect.) would have little rep.
 
Higher staff could watch what the mods are doing, it'd alot be easier since it'd be alot easier for Higher staff to watch mods, than for mods to watch members.

That is an extremely good point which I myself wanted to make. According to me this is how rep power should increase.

1 Per every 200 posts
1 Per 60 days of being in the forum
1 Per 100 Rep (Or maybe 60)

Gettin rid of rep is too hasty an action...I'd say just get rid of the ability to give bad rep...

Mainly cause I'm sick of all the nooBs running at me complaining that their pwecious feewings were hurtsed...
 
i dont see anything wrongwith it
 
Getting rid of bad rep? Would be pointless since everyone would be getting good rep all of a sudden. It wouldn't be fair.
I think all members should be able to see who gave the reps, so then others wouldn't really want to abuse rep that much.
The amount of rep you have shouldn't conflict with your rep power, since there are some membesr who post alot and is very active, but never really got much rep. I say go with the join date. That's more fair.
 
We maybe could make so that only Reps could be given to moderators, admins, presidents, etc. (VIPs)...? (But just as a try then)
And another idea, maybe you need to ok all reps you are getting, so you could stop those "Here's reps!!!!"...

And just one more thing, that was all.. xD
 
No, get rid of it.
Reputation abuse sucks, and those stupid Green Squares are... annoying...
 
I like the rep system idea... but its not fair, Admins look at thier rep when you give them bad and them be big meanie buts to you on PMing, Only admins should have rep acess, and most people around here abuse reputation...

personally I think rep needs a restart. Now I'm getting people who bad rep me for rating their team and choosing a different favorite pokemon than them.

I mean the morality and integrity that was supposed to allow the rep system to work has all but, vanished
 
Whenever there is rep points there will be abuse of the system. Tho it is also fun... I'm kinda undecided and don't really care at this point whether it stays or goes.
 
Well I'm one of the ten members so far who want the rep system to go bye-bye. XD I just feel it's pitting us against each other. It's such a sad thing really. To me, everyone in the community is like family, you all mean a lot to me, as silly as it may sound, but it's true. And when we fight with each other like we have over such a silly thing as rep...it's just awful. ;o;

So, I vote we ditch the rep system and live happily ever after. XD

I say keep it. The people who abuse it usually get in worse trouble over other things and will eventually get banned. If you are immature enough where you can't handle such a simple thing as a rep system, then I feel bad for ya.
 
I am not hearing so many problems with the rep system lately, as I know this issue has been thoroughly discussed sometime ago... I don't mind the rep system, and I wouldn't mind if it goes either... I can't vote for any of the two in the poll because I'd call myself neutral.

I would find it reasonable if the rep system is removed because it would stop all those popularity competitions, and I know now this may not be on-topic but in that case I'd even say that keeping MoTM would be hypocrite as it is kind of the same matter... o.O'
 
there is also crap like this:

What do you mean.Think before you type.I had a guess it was you.


(a negative rep spaced so that you can read it)

You get this stuff and have no clue what they are talking about and have no clue who sent it.

Reps are mainly a way for people you release their anger anonymously
 
What if the amount of reps per day was limited further? Say you only had 3 a day to give out, wouldnt most people want to make sure they count? Im not sure what the exact amount allowed currently is, but its alot more than 3.
