Re: Reputation system: stay or go
 

I really enjoy this board. Just been too busy to have the chance to post.
I'd recommend doing what is makes life easier for the mods. Either way
won't cause any heartburn.

Re: Reputation system: stay or go
 

I've never used it, which means keeping it is fine by me. I keep track of my own reputation system when I peruse The Warpath. Consistently good posters, not the Pam Anderson type, leave a much larger literary imprint in my mind than the not-so-good-posters but I still read everybody's post regardless...except Smootsmack's 'cuz he's a meanie.

Re: Reputation system: stay or go
 

I use it but I really wouldn't care if it stayed or went, there are both positives and negatives for both options but it's really not that big of a deal since most of the "best" posters know each other anyways.

Some people use it but some don't. If it's a headache to the mods then take it away, since it's not really benefiting us that much anyways. It's a nice way to recognize someone for how much they contribute to the site but it's not gonna matter if we don't use it.

Re: Reputation system: stay or go
 

I'm not sure its purpose is fully understood. Or even that people know how to use it. I've gotten negative rep points with a comment saying "Great job. I totally agree" and positive ones saying "You're a jerk" (Herschel Walker gives me rep points :) )

That said, I say keep it. We just need a better understanding of how/why to use it

Re: Reputation system: stay or go
 

yeah, i never really use it or look at it so i say it may as well go, but its not big for me either way

Re: Reputation system: stay or go
 

Is the offseason over yet??

Junk it. If you give neg rep points for crappy posts, the d-bags just give them right back for no reason. What's the point?

Oh yeah? Well take this - positive rep points right back at you.

Re: Reputation system: stay or go
 

Nuts. Apparently I have run out of positive rep points to give out. I'm willing to concede that it's possible I don't understand how this all works.

I just checked mine for only the second time ever and see smooty was the only one to ever give me neg rep points,thanks smooty :spank::tongue

Re: Reputation system: stay or go
 

I like the rep system. I've never actually heard anyone but SBF REALLY have something to say about it.

I feel like most people are really indifferent towards the whole system. They could live with or without it.

So much for these being private. :)

Yeah in retrospect I probably didn't need to give you negative rep points on that. I didn't care for the comment and didn't think it added anything but I can understand the case for it not to be given

Negative rep points for calling me out :)

That happened to me the other day. If it happens again, I've decided I'm just going to neg rep them back with a big "FAIL" in the comments. ;)

That happened to me today, i got neg repped and the comment was "a very good post" lolol. That makes me an advocate of the "I believe we should teach people how to use the rep" system.
