Arrow Say Goodbye to Rep

The entire Rep system will be removed as of this Sunday due to massive abuse by many, many people. There has simply been too many problems over the last while with it and it is time for it to dissappear from here. The Rep system may return sometime in the future but for now it is needs to go, right now it is just causing too much bullshit. I also find it pretty sad that so many people take their Rep score so personally, in reality it is a pretty trivial thing and is not a measure of your self worth.

MAYBE EVERYONE WILL START POSTING WHATEVER THE HELL THEY FEEL LIKE WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT WHO MIGHT NEGATIVE REP THEM INTO THE GROUND.

THIS COULD CAUSE POSTING CHAOS!!!

dont be so trite about placing stock in rep, paks. when you put effort into something it becomes important to you whether you like it or not. nobody here is a gardener of their own psyche.

it's true that it needs to go, though

Thank you so much, Pakula. It has gone on way too long.

And yeah, I agree that the overall tone of posts will be quite different now.

i think an ideal rep system would be one where you can rep a person only once but you would be able to change your rep on that person any time, reflecting your opinion on that person at the time. that persons overall rep would be the cumulative average of what everyone's rep on that person is. i dont know if i explained that well, but it doesnt matter cause such a thing doesn't exist or could be made that easily.

It's not about rep itself but what I described in the other thread (which I'm not going to type out all over again). I'd agree with you 110% that rep in itself means absolutely nothing though -- at least on this forum, where you can't get banned for your rep being too low.

If you happen to bring it back someday, I think it would be wise to let everyone be able to have the option to disable it (even if they have not donated).

you explained it fine, and that is a good idea.
i also like to be able to leave comments of some sort. that would be nice.
