    I don't mind it, but I also don't think it is really neccesary. Ya'know?

      Agreed. I think the system has "potential" by design... but it turns into strong "potential for abuse".

        Anytime you have ranking based on personal preferences you are going to have the potential for abuse. The upside to that is the fact that people also have a means of "dinging" the inevitable idiots for being well...idiots. Not that all with high reps are fine upstanding citizens but it (along with a little common sense) is a good measure of who is helpful.

          rep systems.. their cute. people that feel a strong need for visibile reputation from others they'll never even met just lack self esteem
          (ie; they use it as a basis for how superior they are, when in my opinion i take into the account the usefullness/information in their posts)

            I like em, they have good potential, but I wouldn't lose any sleep if there was no rep system. BTW I think there should be more of a variety of colored reps to represent different things ex:
            Green Reps: informative posts
            Blue Reps: Coolness
            Purple Reps: Grab-assing
            Orange Reps: Funny Posts
            Red Reps: Trolls

              Ehhh, I'm kind of indifferent to rep systems. On one hand you can have people with really high rep points who do not know much and give poor advice and on the other hand you can have people that provide good advice with low rep points. I'm more of a fan of seeing what people post and making my own judgement. However, it provides a yard stick for members that you are unfamiliar with. In general I do not think it does harm. Give it a chance and see how it goes . . . remove it if you don't like the results.

                        i think the problem with the rep system on the other board is the misc section where you have people repping eachother over dumb jokes and flaming
                        i think normally it works to be able to get an idea wheather the person who is giving you advice knows their stuff
                        obv its not perfect but i know alot of the reps i have got were due to infromative posts

                            Definitely agree with that statement there...

                            I also feel like too many people rely too heavily on the reputation system. For instance, it seems like many members only listen to other members who have high rep power.
