That's not 100% true. There were quite a few people with low post counts that had fairly high rep that earned it via very good posts, or people just agreeing with that persons point of view in OT. Either way, it was still valid.



Who you can thank are the people who posted threads which said "Give me some rep and I'll give you some" or the people who just started randomly repping everyone on the board, and asking for people to "pay it back". That was the bullshit, and that is what killed rep.

Maybe the rep should not have applied to OT /forsale? It should have been exclusive to the tech sections

For the 150th time.... Drop this idea people. It's way too much freaking code, and it's not going to fix people who abuse the system. They'll just go somewhere else in the forum to give rep.

Rep is ON or OFF - this has been asked and answered a half a dozen times already. OT and forsale is not the problem - idiots are the problem.

temp ban the abusers :)



Doesn't matter to me if there's rep or not. It just sucks it was spoiled. I had a feeling it was going to happen, and even mentioned it in the rep whore threads, but no one cared to listen...

It's not that easy. Rep isn't something like messages. We have to dig into the system to see who is giving who rep. It's not like posting messages. Again, far more work than it is worth...

All of this shit is more work for an overworked and unpaid staff. Simply put, there's a limit to how much abuse the staff can be subjected to around here before it becomes not worth doing.

Yeah...I've still got the habit of clicking "User CP" and scrolling down right away to see if I got any more goodies! :)

But no...nothing is there. :(

It IS boring now. :icon_conf

Karl Malone is the whitest, cowboy sounding black man in the world. He sounds like he should be roping doggies instead of taking passes from John Stockton..................lol

OH yeah, I'm not sayint there is anything wrong with sounding white. As a matter of fact, I sound white.................:biglaugh:

I miss typing funny things when I gave rep, but I don't feel that I abused the system. Maybe took advantage of it, but never abused it..............;)
