And that's why you have no rep.

[sarcasm]Oh is that why? Thanks for making such a contribution to the forum with that post.[/sarcasm]

At any rate, I've never personally been in favor of it, but I've not gotten a whole lot of voice on the matter. It's cool, but I think that limiting peoples functionality on the forums is lame (based on rep at least). It's just not an accurate system to tracking the 1337 people on the forums and rewarding them. As it is now, there are a lot of very well respected people on this board that are getting a bad end of the deal. There are many people I have great respect for with lower rep than those who don't have my respect. Often just because they're not scoping out "post here for rep" threads (exaggerated obviously, but you get my point).

I guess if I want all of those fancy shmancy features I'll have to work to get a higher rep count.

But sometimes it's the things that people don't post that makes me like them more.

I kinda like the rep system, but it is flawed in sorts of ways, but i want it to stay here.

Although i dont understand getting rewards for having lots of rep, say you say something that offends a powerful person, they could take you down a few nothces, i dont think thats all to fair.

But i cannot see a way around it, except for taking rep out, which i am opposed to.



EDIT: and how does this rep power thing work? Cuz i have more rep ( i think) than thatmariolover, yet he has more rep power than me...and he only has about 100 more posts than me too...im confused..

thatmariolover has been here at GT way longer than you, which contributes to his reputation power advantage. Time is a factor as described here:

Personally, I like the rep system. Its a goal to work towards. Especially when things get dull around here. Its something that keeps me around when talk is boring, or gets me to post more interesting things to boost conversation. ANd isn't that what some of this stuff is for? To keep people coming to the forum.

Yeah, that's what I thought the whole system was for. If you want some Rep, you should work a little bit to make your posts creative and entertaining for the community.

I hardly ever post so I dont mind the way the rep system is now lol.
