Can we do away with the rep system?


Recommended Posts

I am sure I will get a lot of negative rep for even making this thread.
But oh well.


Someone is following my around and giving me negative rep
for articles and links I am posting. Every post I make someone
is giving it to me. I could see if it was something I said that they
disagree with, but posting an article or link?

To the hater, are you trying to tell me not to post anything at all anymore?

I know people have been doing it to Rumble, but he is a Browns
fan and everyone hates him. :ninja:

Anyway, I think the rep system is lame. And like I said yesterday
in the game thread, I remember the good ole days when someone
had to actually respond to you to let you know they didn't agree with something you said.
Or give you a x1 for something they agreed with. Now people can just hate on you no matter
what you post. Lame.

Can it be done away with, or is it something we are stuck with?

Your rep is +240, what are you bitching about? :)

Rumble is -860, and I know at least one other poster is at -210.

Who gives a shit? I'm in the negs and I honestly couldn't give a flying fuck less. Rep points mean nothing. We all know you and we love you, man. [b]Don't worry about some stupid rep system.[/b]

It is just annoying that someone is doing that.
It would be different if you could find out who
and why you were getting them.

I am not "worried" about it though. Just would like to
see the entire system deleted from the board.

I am not bitching. Just annoyed. It has been going on for days now.

And is it really that high?


Everyone loves me! I am the F'n Man! :headbang:

You sure it wasn't super boltz and has that ass wipe been banned yet?

No it isn't him, he was banned. And it is still going on today.


I guess I should have asked if others thought we should
do away with it, or just sent Go a PM. :22:

I for one honestly enjoy following you around, giving you back your rep points. Keeps me real busy these days.

I am about to delete this damn thread.
I was just trying to guage what others think about it.
But it seems all people want to do is give me more negative/positive rep.

I think the rep system the way it is is lame. I hate to say it, but if we have one, it should be like the official messageboard's where you give a reason.

Not only that, but you know who gave it, and you can't rep yourself.

I'm with Bung, following you around and giving as many positive reps I can.

I for one love that you post the articles here. It's more than just one stop reading, but gives us an opportunity to comment.

Can't say I'm a fan of rep systems on forums. I'll +rep someone every now and then for something funny, but I've never understood -rep. Either the douchetastic (thanks BAB) statement is ignorable, or I come right out and rebut the post in question. -rep just strikes me as.... cowardly... or lazy... both?

The whole rep idea seems ignorant to me. I saw mine once and it was plus something or other and I wasn't even aware that we had a rep system here. A few months down the line I saw it again and it's minus. I checked again after seeing this thread and it's minus........but I honestly don't remember what the number was. Who gives a shit about rep? It means nothing at all. What benefit would it have other than some egotistical prick to go stroke himself looking at how much people loves his posts? Fuck it. I sincerely admire just about everyone here and am proud to call you friends......in a virtual sense. Rep means squat to me. If anyone wants to neg me feel free. I probably won't see it for another 6 months anyway.

I don't post here as much as I used to (way back when) but I noticed that I have a -2. Frankly, I didn't know there was a rep system in place. As far as positive and negative "reps" go, at least that means you're getting attention one way or another. No such thing as bad press.

As far as Oldschool goes, I'm in agreement with some on here. I love how he diligently posts article...saves me time scouring the internet.

I know on Bengals.com it tells you who gives you +/- rep points in your profile and they can comment why...is that possible here?
