Am i seeing things or is Rep a thing of the past?
It's under review.
The members wanted rep. They campained long and hard and they got it.
Now new masters and all gone.
These guys are not going to like that. I know I don't. I had a lot of rep points. Took a while to accumilate them. Now all gone. That's annoying. It's bragging rights. That's all it is. Sure it's a double edged sword but that comes with the turf. I'd turn it back on and just simply lay down the law about it.
Rep is a slippery issue-- in the default version, each person giving rep gives a fixed amount based on the value of their own rep.
This leads to exponential growth of rep values (as people rep each other) and (sooner or later) forum leaders abandoning the use of rep as a tool. After all, someone with huge rep can vault a n00b into the middle ranks with one agreement.
There is a mod to the rep system that allows the user to select the amount of rep to give to the person they are agreeing/disagreeing with (I call it dial-a-rep), which mitigates the aforementioned problem.
