Get rid of rep

I'm all for getting rid of it. The sooner the better.

I think rep should be kept. It gives people an incentive to be nice in their posts, and not to be rude. It also helps us distinguish the good guys from the bad guys (the ones with red rep)

this thread seems very neg-rep heavy, what abotu positive rep.

i have pos-reped a few people and never neg repped anyone, i think it's a good way to give back to people who have helped you =) tho it doesn't really do anything =P

I think a more amusing, if perhaps unproductive, addition would be to not only allow the user to see who posted the rep comment, but to allow others to view the rep comments and who left them via the "view public profile" page.

It wouldn't make the reputation system any more informative, but it would probably cut out some of the idiocy that people are willing to say only when they know no one can respond.

Its impossible for me to find a logical explanation for an anonymous reputation system.

And from my rep pile:

While I prefer people had fortitude to say who they were (Ive postive repped people who negative repped me for it before.) I usually laugh at how weak they are, as they dont have guts say what they think on the internet where I have no idea who they are in first place....thats truly sad. I'm starting think people on forums are scared of me or something haha.

I tend leave my intials at end of comments I leave the majority of the time (save for i accidentally clicked before doing it )I want people know its me when I decide bring down the hammer. But I tend leave full frontal text assaults in topics heh. Long winded as heck, but when Im done you got the message I was getting at.

I leave it going as I think its more amusing for those who disrespect me to know someone actually proves the things I say and disagrees with them too.(I see fair number of green or grey posts among the red marks.) I know Im going ruffle feathers and not follow the crowd,(usually cause I refuse overrate and worship something the masses do.) and Im not afraid do it as I can revel in it at times heh.

No matter how badly I get shot up, I seem bounce back to green. I might be an arguementative scroundel who says things you dont wanna hear...but theres usually some truth it all and a point. You can try invalidate me all you want, but you haven't invalidated my point.

I figure if people lacked courage openly oppose my thoughts then Id rather they gave me feedback of sorts. Even if they did just simply add the comments they sent me, it likely just derail the thread into a wizzing contest, as all crap stays off radar. Alot of times they dont even reply in thread to what I said, so it just keeps chugging along. I just take as they dont truly have a leg stand on or are too lazy bother..so either way Ive won this round hehe. I mean in debate teams they basically end it when people turn namecalling, I view this the same way.

Whether it goes or not I don't care. I never plan change what I say based off it's existence or lack of. I do what I always do. (though I wonder if it always existed would I driven my rep into gutter or would actually be higher heh as Ive been around since beta.) Nothing anyone said to me kept me up at night. And boy has there been plenty.
