To be honest; I don't pay any attention to the rep system.

For those of you who thought I warranted a rep... Thank you. Heart

We disabled it, and people just shifted to using "neutral" reps for their abuse, so now those are disabled as well. At least now if you want to insult someone via the rep system, you are forced into giving them positive rep whilst you do it. Tongue
So someone can give a positively negative reputation remark? If you can't beat the system, break it. Big Grin Now people can start becoming infamous as opposed to merely "popular" or "well-liked" on the forum.

So how long until you disable the whole feedback feature and replace it with a drop-down-list of predetermined responses then? Such as these?

"You rock! Woo hoo!"
"You put the A in Atheist!"
"You're seated on the right hand of Tiberius!"

Yes, it certainly is... but quite a few peeps there give neg rep for the banter as well. Tongue

Phil lynott has a different opinion on a bad reputation. And he can't be wrong!
