Rep reduction

[Que]

I have always fought for the rep system because some people enjoy it. I hate it when people feel just because they don't find value in something, it should be banned or removed. What about those people who enjoy the rep pyramids? Some want the political forum to go away, while others oppose the blade forum. If you don't like the threads, stay out of them!

However, with this new hiccup in the system or whatever, I would gladly agree with the system going away.

It's not like I can negative rep him...at least not much!

Makes perfect sense to me.

Your counting skills seem a bit lacking...

I am stuck at 3....have I been bad again???

I thought the reduction in rep and power was due to using IE as my browser and not Chrome (with all its superpower attributes). I made the switch to no avail and picked up a different set of glitches...

Hilarious, but of course, I can't rep you.

I got him for you. I drilled him with a massive +2. I hope it didn't knock the wind out of him...

 

[Shoots4Fun]

I have zero. I worked for yrs to get my previous badges and then went to +/-6 and now zero, zippo, nada.

I give up...

 

[AngryRooster]

Was at +/- 6 after the reset now down to nothing.

I know tons of people don't care for it, abuse it, want to see it go away, etc. I actually use it generally as a way to say thanks to someone for teaching me something I didn't know, reminding me of something, or just generally good info from someone. Hmmm, sounds like that's what it was designed for, who would have guessed. I didn't care for the "double shock power!" rep though.

There is no point to the rep system.

Even if the "Rep Pyramid" threads did not exist, there is no value in rep points. Members in the political forum receive rep when other members agree with them. Members in the social threads receive rep for funny or witty remarks. Members in the more hardware-related threads may receive rep for sharing their experience or knowledge.

Here now you just need some healthy rep injections. I will rep you and send you on your way.

Sure, I can see if a member has a lot of rep points, but I don't know where a user got that rep so it doesn't help me decide if their input is valuable or not. If I run into trouble building a rifle and I come to INGO for help I don't really care how funny you are.

I am all for getting rid of the rep system entirely, but that is in no way my decision.

BTW: My rep power went from -10 to +10 down to -2 to +3, and I have no idea why. I have pretty much stopped handing out rep...I don't want to insult someone with my measly 3 points.

Well, if the mods got whacked too why am I complaining..........................

You just need some rep to grow your influence, rep on the way.

That makes sense. I have 3 to use.

Has this become the new Rep Pyramid Thread??

You know, there for a brief time we had the option to "like" a comment, and in the bottom of the post it would list who "liked" it.
I kinda liked that better than the rep system.

Per usual, I agree with JG.
