Rep Suggestion

Recently, I noticed that a certain member had negative total rep and I wasn't sure why, so I clicked on it, and sure enough, it's the same nerds hitting this poster with it repetitively.  So I clicked on theirs out of curiosity (or "stalking" as the more fragile members put it), and saw that there were a few posters jerking off on each other's faces and bumping each other hundreds of points at a time.  It just seems like a really lame use of the feature and I thought I'd bring it up.

Really, if I was bored or butthurt enough I could just put your rep to the negatives (I don't really know if you'd care or not) by clicking the same button over and over.  It's like pro-bowl voting, but no one wins anything in the end.

It just seems like on the old board, rep was a bit more legitimate.  Not that it ever really matters, but it indicated how well your posts had been received.  Here, it's a completely different animal.

I see....so it seems you can rep a poster....and not just the posts.  I was unaware of that feature.  Yeah....that needs fixed.  You should only be able to rep posts.  I think it should be private as well.....other than that....I like it as is.

I certainly see your point now that I know all of the glitches with it.  I never was too keen on the public part of it either.  On these issues we agree....but I like being able to rep someone consecutively if they make a couple good posts in the same thread.  Sometimes on the old board....I just gave out random rep to get back to repping someone I wanted to give rep to multiple times.  I wonder how many others did that....if even a few , there's inflated rep right there.

Until you loaded me up....I don't think I had ever gotten "user rep". Feel free to adjust accordingly if you want.....
