This is all funny to me. Someone seems to have a little too much time on their hands....and has the need to control things a little too much.
Missing words.
Rep is dumb and it has ruined this site. It was 10X better before that system was instigated.

Before the rep system there was a lot more conversation with differing opinions. Now it feels like a lot of poster just making popular posts to try and boost their rep. And never voicing an unpopular opinion because of potential rep hits. Rep power is also boosted by making more posts. Making it advantageous for some posters to put up mass amounts of posts whether they are adding anything to the site or not. I've never been big on popularity contest and that is essentially what the rep system has become.Really? I respectfully disagree.
Without the Rep system I think there will be a lot more 'dumb posts' floating around and there will be nothing anybody can do about it (except for posters to report them). This will create so much more work for Mods and Admin. For me personally one thing that's keeping me going "Dumb and Dumber" is knowing that I'd get a neg from many posters here who's watching me like a hawk.
I know personally I do feel lot more sense of responsibility to curb 'stupid posts' that don't necessarily warrant an infraction by 'negging' posts that deserve it.
