Should the Reputation System stay?

[MidLifeCrisis Out of control poster! Find all posts View Profile Close MidLifeCrisis]

I voted to keep it. I was hoping my meaningful, knowledgeable and never inciteful posts would lead to fame and fortune. The chances of me now being recognised for my superior 4wding skills and ability to solve any 4wding issues will now be significantly reduced.



At least I didn't have far to fall in the first place......

mlc - under achiever by design.

I don't agree with the rep system as it's open to abuse and I don't agree with what Piggy wrote either. As other people have stated before we get to know the people who are worth reading etc. We all need to be treated as equal and removing the rep system would be a good start.

Firstly, people, you choose which posts you read, so if you don't like a post (eg; a possum thread) you don't have to read & comment there or here either.
Either way whatever! I voted with the majority to keep the majority happy.
Newer people don't know who's posts are worth reading, but who cares about new members right?
Get rid of it & that's the end of it!
What can we whinge about next after this ones closed?

I think when mods can come along and wipe someones reputation points or some unanswerable computer error which seems to have deleted the rep points I had accumulated over the past 4 years maybe from posting copious information on my build up thread, dual battery install, aftermarket GPS head unit installation and the development of the TG150 along with the fact that we supported the last GTG and donated 4 guards as prizes.

So with that in mind maybe the reputation System should be ditched (Mods seem to have a high number of rep points-who moderates the mods?) because I think in general most members on this forum would know who the contributing members have been and as new ones surface they too will be the ones providing the information for the existence of a forum like Pradopoint.

Get rid of it. Open to abuse.

I've never used it, mainly because I never knew of it.... Now, I still wouldn't use it but would prefer to know what people's experiences are that are making/giving tech info....(eg: mechanical / electrical, etc)

If we got rid of every system that was open to abuse, then why would we need accountants or lawyers?

I say keep it...

I use it for a kind of "thumbs-up" if I like the comment.

I never use it for bad reputation, If I don't like something I will either express my views or just move on.

Looks like you to ripped off. So ppl that dont know you not reading your posts now.
Where if your accurate rep showed, then they would be more likely to read more & not miss out on their tg150? Maybe?
It's a good system, but now ppl are too scared to give rep, instead they p.m you thanks & say they would have given you rep but.......

Well said yes! So I will be giving a good rep for that.

No reason to be scared to give rep. It's pretty plain and simple, someone helps you out, give them some rep.... someone posts something funny and off topic - no rep. Abusive and/or insulting report the post and give them some negative rep, it's not really rocket science.

You're a hard man RanJ. There goes any chance of me getting good rep.

On a more serious note, I just gave rep on another post and I put my name in the comment section and why. I will also do the same for any neg.mlc - keeping it honest
