Why the Reputation System need to be removed

No one said that you said you didn't do it, I said that you're a hypocrite.

But your basing me being a hypocrite on something I never said

Here is an example of revenge rep and sympathy rep

I'd actually have to strongly disagree against the reputation system.

What if I just joined the forums, saw a very high-quality user, and then saw AC.

AC would have more posts, probably an earlier join date, no one would know about him.

I enjoy going through peoples reputation, it gives me a rough idea of the person, then I add all that together, get to know them and form my own opinion.

Now I'm not saying it's flawed, but I believe it should NOT be removed, maybe just modified if something was to ever happen to it.

Yet, AC has more rep than a lot of other HQ users. People jus rep because they can.

But you understand the point I'm trying to make.

Although it may be highly flawed, it still has its benefits.

Not necessarily for the + and - or the number below someones post count.

But to hear opinions on that person from everyone throughout RuneGear.

The whole rep system is flawed and is pointless.

1) Rep for rep, that's all it is
2) Revenge rep, people are butthurt
3) Sympathy rep, butthurt people rep
4) Threads about people be repped
5) Random rep
6) Do things for rep

That is about 95% rep on this forum.


Some people see rep has a way to judge people, but it's for sure not accurate.
Rep is just a game.

I believe you said it right there. If you complain about something that you do too it's pretty hypocritical if you ask me.
