    if it's going to be a comedy thing, surely the comedy would be better if we can bomb people, right?

    But in all honesty I agree with rossmum. Full functionality for everyone or none for anyone.

    wow.
    the internet is some serious bussiness.
    Also, yeah it was a system that got abused. Not with individuals, but generally by large rep rings led by you that would bomb newer people and generally cause problems as a result.
    Yeah, you would only take away half of what you could give, but your rep rings artificially inflated your rep like an e-peen pump daily.
    Perhaps you're underestimating your abilities to get mad and hold a grudge ross?
    Perhaps you've forgotten your five or so alt accounts that you used to -rep and chide people into arguments and subsequently get them infractions or banned?

    Re: Rep system functionality

    I don't think rep circles happened nearly as often as you seem to think they did, but okay. Looking at the last page of rep on my CP, the only rep I've received that wasn't on the merits of my ~pro posting~ was the most recent batch. As in, since the system was re-enabled and people were left to post terrible no-content threads and do exactly what you are trying to call me out for doing four years ago. Even though people did boost their friends (shock incoming: it wasn't just the ~FORUM ELITE~ that did it), the overwhelming majority of rep that flowed through the system almost certainly was related to posts or general attitudes. I know that's inconvenient to point out and all, but it's pretty much the case.

    Further, most of the people who were singled out for bombing were hilariously terrible posters who would have been bombed anyway, just not quite so rapidly.

    Also, those alts are all several years old, one was straight up santioned by admins, and I don't see what relevance they have here when this is about either being able to -rep people for bad posts, or being secure in the knowledge that the staff can't, either.

    I mean, shit, if you're going with the argument that we're all the exact same people we were what... four? five? years ago, about half of the staff shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the control panel, much less given exclusive ability to spread neg rep.

    PS please disable my rep or (better still) give all users the option to disable it. It offends my delicate Socialist sensibilities.

    fake edit: this is a real post. this is a thing i want to happen.

    Re: Rep system functionality

    If Rossmum made alt accounts to -rep people, I think his wishes should be ignored. Yes there were rep circles, people were both on the good and bad side of them. But its one thing grouping up with your friends and using rep, than making fake accounts for the sole purpose of -rep.

    Re: Rep system functionality

    Wait...rep is back?

    I didn't even notice since I found it so pointless to begin with. Given the fact that everyone on this forum is pretty much already established as to who they are, and how there's not really an influx of any new members, rep is really not necessary and should just be deleted entirely.

    ...or maybe we give it a go and see how mature this community could be about it again. I doubt much would change though.
