I was here since last year. I was here since the cody days and the Outhouse creation.

Rep? Disagree with me all you want. I don't care. As it says on the title, it's a toy.

Taking away is necessary if it gets to the point where it's stupid. Who wouldn't want help even after they are adults?

I think reps are just encouraging people to say some smartass comment and discouraging people from posting frank opinion in the fears of getting disagreed.

Because I couldn't make a smartass comment in a post like this?

Oh wait...

Rep is a toy, so quit whining and let us play...

Ok. Here's my suggestion. Either toss rep out all together or don't change it at all. Either way people are going to whine about it so why waste time and energy over it. Just like they whined about the clamps. Just like they whined about the purple blobs. If people want to act like spoiled little bitches about it and stamp their feet and leave. Fine. Let them go. I hope the door hits them in the *** on the way out.

Regardless, reputation has become a toy to be exchanged when something funny is posted, for the most part. That's what we made it to be.

Admins has repeatedly said there weren't going to be any changes to the system, anyhow.

Maybe you got me wrong, I really didn't mean to say that you said "this is to become a tech forum", reread my sentence "Yes if this is to become a technical only forum that would be the way to go" sounds like a suggestion on my part, or at least that is the way I meant it.

Yeah, I think I did misread it. Sorry. See my .sig regarding the negative rep, btw.

Maybe, Although, if they care that much about rep, then they don't have enough to care about in real life.

Shhh ... late at night some people with extremely high rep go trolling about the other forums seeking out people who consistently offer good advice and accolade. This provides much needed balance. But it's seekrit.
