TBH,you're right Rab!

He keeps on moaning about how much It creates headache and problem and tension between members, and If you look at It he's been neg repping members like hell before. Why do you USE It when you FEEL It's not worth it ??? Why do you ASK for it to be removing when you were using It????

Strange.

To be honest, I don't understand why the post count needs to be eliminated. I have not seen any confrontations stem from that in a while.

Oh it's not neceassary for me at all, it was just brought up and I still feel it's removal would improve the forum. But you're right, nothing bad has come from the post counts (lately anyway).

Yes ,and every member is for it,but many of them express some antagonism.

TBH,I lived even before the rep system so I don't give a damn about it.But why mods established this rep system and than,after so many time they are in some kind of a dilemma.I don't get it.

Its not impossible if you control where reputation can be given, and also what for. For instance, if the rep function was only allowed for posts over a certain number of letters, the problem of asking for rep will be eliminated to some extent. To be honest, I don't know how one can recieve reputation for a post that includes no more than three words, but that's just me. Moreover, if you limit reputation to only the sections regarding football...the reason this forum was built in the first place...you will eliminate the problem of reputation given for some unworthy posts. This might not solve every problem, however it will eliminate some..
not a bad idea, the number of words thing in certain forums. But still, that can be abused also, i bet that more than 80% of the reputations in this forum abused because of the member itself, and not for his posts. And also people will come and -rep you on your post if he has an opposite opinion than yours, no matter the quality of your post, or vice versa.

Trust me, It will be abused in the end, althou I see no point of this reputation thing, I wouldn't mind if it exists If rule like these created:

1- it is not allowed to discuss about reputation in the forums, or ask who repped who. or quote posts with "+rep" "repped"

2- the message field in the reputation should be removed, that the most annoying part, people leave offensive message, even without leaving their names..

3- this one is optional, no negative reps allowed, so it will be less abused.

If post counts are removed, join dates will begin to be the new forum-penis size meter. If join dates are removed as well, people will put them in their signatures. I say remove rep for the reasons mentioned before and possibly even post counts, but no more.

I'd been just a visitor of this site for a long time, I've red posts but never wrote ones. I'm not sure when i started write posts, it doesn't matter, but I never cared about all those reputation thing and number of posts. I don't even know what do I get with reputation, all I care is to see here some good posts and threads and nothing else. I don't need someone to rep me for my good post, I know when I write good post i think we all know.

So for me reputation can stay as long as doesn't affect on the posts and threads.
