personally..
i think this rep thing is aloud of bollocks.
ive been looking and reading, and i thought the idea of this was to let in-experienced members know who was talking more sense than bullshit.
But lately tho people are just getting good rep for saying something like "woo lets all get women to strip" rep points for you mate!
i dont think it should work like that at all?
im sure im just being a party pooper but instead of getting rep for a decent comment or helping someone, absolutely braindead clueless people could become the most repped person on the site...
just my opinion neway
I appreciate all feedback mate but to be totally honest I think without visibility of the actual reputation points being given between members you are a little misinformed.
I can see the reputation points and the comments and check them every couple of days and the VAST majority of them are people thanking each other for technical assistance etc.
I can also see the post that the rep was given for and randomly check them - It makes for very interesting reading.
If you think its bollox you dont have to use it
but other members asked for a rep system we put one in place on trial and it looks like it is being used.
Also if you check the more technical and helpful members on the site... their rep is growing... I dont think that is a coincidence.
