My rep is bigger than yours

That statement unfortunately reminds me of Syndrome of a Down.

This is why we've been so careful about the rep system. There was a large internal discussion about whether it would be useful to have such a system, and if it was useful, how useful.

So what are your thoughts? Is there much of a point?

Eh, I think its fine. It's nearly invisible, wouldn't have even known it was there if nobody told me.

I don't know if I should be allowed to share my thoughts on this matter. I'm little more than cannon fodder.

How else will everyone know how utterly insiginificant they are in the presence of my greatness?




In all seriousness, I think it serves a purpose. Maybe not so much as a gauge of how useful a poster is, but certainly in terms of giving it. I feel a bit better giving rep than just saying. "So true!"

I enjoy the system. I can tell you it has caused me to post more. I've created and partcipated in more dicusssion because I didn't like the label of Junior. I have been with you guys for some time, and I'm glad that I have been motivated to post more. It helps me enjoy this community.

It also is helpful for showing who should be taken seriously, and who should be disregarded as a person with poor ideas and often behaves foolishly.

It isn't widely used unfortunatley.

But downvoing two people who are having a flame war in almost every thread, might help to deter such behavior.

Found a small problem I don't like. I gave someonepositeve rep a while ago, and now I want to give him negative rep. It wont let me giveit to him saying i Need to spread the rep around more - doing this before seeing if I wanted to give him postive or negative rep. Me no likes.
