If it were neutral why not just post your comment...or send a PM...

why make a personal comment open for everyone, and why go to the trouble of typing up a PM, when all you would need to do is type a short little comment at the click of a button?

if what you said there is the case, Why use a rep system at all? everyone should just PM the comments. is a green or red bar that important?

if the whole point of a rep system is to leave a comment on that perticular post, then there should be a neutral option.

Rep makes people happy. Without rep the morale of this forum would drop to levels only seen in the brain waves of pissed off Nintendo fans...uh...carry on...

I'm all for neutral rep. The point is, the reputation system as it is has gotten out of hand and is being abused, and yes, even by me on occasion. I don't think I'd really be able to legitmately see how the reputation system has gone wrong unless I had been a part of it some way or another.

I honestly acquired a large level of reputation with 5 shiny gold pips but then someone framed me and a staff member lowered it to 2 shiny gold pips. I'm still upset about that and would like my reputation restored.

I'll look at the entire reputation situation over summer. I'm sure some positive changes can be made. And as always, if you don't like it, don't use it.

And GameMaster, the post from the "GT Staff" was not funny.

"And as always, if you don't like it, don't use it."
Sure, where do I sign up so I can't use the system and others can't use it on me?
