Rep System Is Broken

I never understood the massive rep swings on the old board either.  I recall folks with hundreds of thousands of rep points (think DennyG2).  That stuff was just silly.

Here, you get repped for what you post.  I predominantly post in JN and Klotsch/Movies & Music....and a smidge in smack.  I think I've posted in about every forum at some time or another, but those are the bread and butter.  Also, IIRC, I was the first member here.....and started posting pretty much right away.  As soon as the place opened, I quit the other.  I got a head start.  I will say, that Johnny Cupcakes bloated my count a tad when he repped the crap outta me to prove a point about how you used to be able to rep a post as many times as you wanted to.

I was never a fan of the neg rep.....I think that gets handled pretty well here when someone is way out there in a post or thought.....we're a rather sarcastic bunch.  I can take the rep or leave it, but it's usually a pretty good gauge of who is active, and who generally posts good stuff in a respectful manner.

TLDR; You mad bro?

I jumped ship the day they said they were closing the old board, and Bengalholic said "Ah hell no".

Funny you mention it, because Johnny Cupcakes neg rep'd me because I posted in a thread that I had never received it. I think the comment he left was "first".

Anyhow... If someone has received multiple rep from me on the same post it's only because I'm always on the desktop version on my phone... My fingers miss sometimes, and I'm not sure I ever gave it the first time... My bad.
