I've been thinking of a system where rep is given by a panel of judges.
Sort of like jury duty, every member in their turn would take part in a small group, and decide on rep suggestions from members.
Sort of a unholy alliance of Nobel peace prize commitee and Idol judges.
For a rep to pass, it would need for example 3/5 votes from the panel.
A very complicated way to screw up the forums. :D

I have too much time on my hands. :)

My apologies to agwiii, you are not a hypocrite.

I can now see the drawbacks of rep, its not such a big deal to me but you can see how easily it can almost cause arguments. Someones given me negative rep and quoted directly from a post I made to agwiii earlier in the thread, making it seem as though it was agwiii himself.

This is a great forum and it should be about OPEN discussion, and not about secret ways to disparage and demean. Keep everything open - no secrets.

Hi Viperman and all:

A forum coward posted negative REP for this posting, with the cowardly note of "eat red."

2nd worst now :D Not long until I displace RaikkonenRules

man, you do seem to enjoy flogging dead cowards :p :

getting a bit tiresome, but of course I know I don't have to read it :)

come to think of it, you don't have to read your rep either ...
let alone publicise it ...
I doubt many people care too much about what your latest rep was or how your rep count is ...

as Charly from Klausejoke (you know, the guy who invented internet forums) famously said:
"don't feed the polls" :s mokin:

Yes DJ but you don't HAVE to read it because morons aren't trying to piss you off. Key difference there :)

and succeeding, it would appear :)

To be fair, some of those with masses of red rep are the antagonistic types who can be rather rude for no good reason, but only some. I think we're all still capable of knowing who's who and what's what :p :

I get the red stuff too. Oddly in almost equal quantities as the green, though I'm guessing from members who haven't got many points themselves so it doesn't register highly.

Thing is, I'm not here moaning endlessly about it and crowing about my points being low or high ;)

50/50 in the poll. Very interesting ;)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I refuse to give up my crown as the forum Bad Boy to the likes of you. :(

Actually on second thoughts take it, I'm on the way back up anyway (-8000 now was -10000) :D
