The Reputation System Needs to Change

Personally I think the whole system is kind of useless.


I know which posters thoughts and opinions I respect, and which ones I dont.


There are people with very little rep that I respect a lot

There are people with a ton of rep that I think are complete and utter morons

And that's all that really matters.

That was a great post. I give you +rep for that, and for your signature. That is an amazing signature.

How many times do I need to invalidate the rep system?

With or without the system, we'd still have people who make good posts and people who make bad posts. There used to be a thing called reputation that had nothing to do with 'pips'. People used to confuse it with popularity. The reputation system simply was a manifestation of this mistake.

This coming from a person who -repped me twice with no text or explanation why he did so.

And continues to -rep me with nothing...

Seriously link... hypocrisy runs very far with you.

Oh yeah... the classic "rep wars" that started after I gave GM the first -rep of his career and Ginkasa returned with a volley. Times have changed . Oh well.

I -repped you initially becuase of your stupid fanboy comments. I find it annoyingly stupid that you would rather -rep me than maybe open your eyes a bit, so I subtracted from your reputation.

And I remember the thing with Stray_Bullet. That was fun. Good times...


/me shrugs and walks away

I forgot about that, thanks for helping me during that time, Robert McCutchan.

Since then, Stray and I have patched our frayed relationship.

If that is just cause for -rep then I think everyone would have shiny red pips everywhere. Everyone has their moments of stupid fanboy comments, even you do. But again, the hypocrisy runs high here...

After the Nintendo press conference, I was poking fun at how they disappointed without the Revolution unveiling. What happened? Nintendo fanboys jumped me and called me annoying and telling me to shut the hell up. Even when I made jokes about Nintendo... they couldn't take it.

Now, as Sony moves forward people are poking fun at them, and making jokes about them. But how dare I get defensive.... It's only natural that I defend the company I trust. You can call it fanboy if you want, I don't care. But again, as I go on the defensive for Sony.... people STILL can't take it and call me annoying and tell me to shut the f*ck up, and now even get -repped for it.

Do you see my situation? You guys can defend Nintendo all you want, but once someone defends Sony or Microsoft, they are automatically attacked by the worst Nintendo fanboys.... I'm not generalizing the forum... but the Nintenfreaks know who they are....

I'm not given a chance at all to express my opinion whether it's favoring Sony or making fun of Nintendo. It's getting ridiculous.
