Abolish Rep

[YB85]

It seemed like a good idea, but rep has probably caused more problems than it's worth. With all the back and forth bitching and infractions and suspensions/banning because of rep comments, maybe it's time to do away with the rep feature.

I dont' really care either way, rep always causes problems on forums I frequent, it's seems you really can't avoid it.

 

[sirkickyass]

I agree.

Couldn't agree more. Rep given.

Could you add a poll? I'd be interested to see what people vote, given choices of "keep rep", "abolish rep" or "don't care".

All it takes is for Trout to get punished and the rules and policies get reconsidered. Sloanfeld was right.

Which is totally why a moderator started this thread. Good job.

Doesn't matter. You quickly jumped on the bandwagon and then an admin asked for a poll.

Sloanfeld has been saying for months that we should abolish rep but it has never been considered by those in authority until now.

This is another instance in which you can't see behind the curtain. I've had a lengthy conversation with colton and Jason about a number of topics, the effect of rep on the board being one, over the last couple of weeks. In that sense, YB's timing is fortuitous.

Considering that Sloanfeld's final infraction came as a result of rep comments he left he is accurately described as part of the problem on this one.
