I think the rep system is good, once I found out about it and realized people went by that instead of post count I really think its a good idea.

probably one of the more intelligent posts I've seen on this board... with a post like that, why would you want to get rid of a system that should leave you brimming with reputation... Hitler?

i think its a good gague to show new people especially the most helpful members on the forum, and for people who arent new, its an incentive to be a more active participant.

I don't think it's taken as seriously as it should be. I mean, if I got a neg rep point, I think I'd have to call iNet because it's just not fair.

I heard that someone actually did call iNet and complain and the rep may be taken away.

I recently saw this quote: "Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." - John Wooden, seemed relevant.

i'm still not done voicing my opinion that is the injustice of the rep system.

Exactly. This is what most of the people on the board go by. Rep points on a forum are just that... rep points on a forum. In the end they really mean nothing.
:D

They may mean noting to you DB, but I cherish them. If they got rid of them, I'd be the first to petition iNet.

I think that real life needs a rep system too.
