Reputation Feature

More feedback from a member on the Rep system. I'm all for changing it to only being able to give positive rep, or eliminating it altogether. I think we have too many people who misuse the -1 feature.

hey another thought (sorry - I forget if this was mentioned already in this or another thread) - but can we cap the # of points a post can get in an individual post?

No - doesn't appear to be possible without writting the code for it.

Positive rep only if you ask me. Way too easy for jerks to get click happy.

Yet another member voting to kill the reputation system. LINK

I'd love to keep it if people would use it correctly - it could help members avoid crap. But I'm now convinced there's no reason for it. Since topics themselves can be rated, we don't even need the positive points - if you take negatives, some jerk is going to post positives for another jerk just for kicks.

So, by the authority vested in me by ETR (scary thought, I know), I'm killing the system unless or until someone says otherwise or can come up with a good argument for keeping it.

Thanks, everyone, for the thoughts.
