The power that be did away with it because it was being abused and didn't really mean anything more than a popularity contest.

If it was just for technical, not general or OT or show off your car. then it would have been fine.

Just curious how people "abused" it?

I *think* rep was intended for people to reward others when some one makes a good post, or a good technical answer.

This turned into people using it as "if i give you rep, you give me rep"

and thats why EVERYONE had full green bars. Look at my amount of posts on here, and my time spent and i had full green bars within my first week!

In the pre-hack days, there were like TWO people who had full green bars, Grimjack and IJ.

It got out of hand

It's an unspoken rule that we don't make fun of Tanya. She can and will photoshop you doing unmentionable things to a goat. She could ruin our political careers before they even get started good....................:biglaugh:

She did have that option. I have neg. repped one person on here for saying something that I didn't agree with. I then repped him positively, because I realised that everyone isn't going to agree with me all the time. That means that they are wrong alot of the time, but that's their right..............;)
