Gee
*****
Rep is the downfall of NGU, people are afraid to voice their opinions because of the worry of their rep being deducted by users.
I for one think it should be removed, what do you think?

The rep system has been corrupted beyond repair.
At this point we have 2 options:
1. Reset rep
Pros:
- Everyone gets a clean slate.
- Rep will now be about HOW MANY people like your post and not WHO likes your post (Getting +rep from dopey would be like getting +rep from 10-15 other members.)
-Rep won't seem as intimidating for the new members on NGU.
Cons:
-Rep no longer reflects how long you've been on this forum and the good posts you've made in that time.
-People will start bitching about how they worked hard for their rep...finding a funny picture with a funny caption is NOT hard work.
2. Remove Rep
Pros:
-A sense of an actual community will develop and your reputation among the members will be spread by word and not by some fancy stars under your name.
-On multiple occasions I have restricted from posting an opinion because I knew it would get negative feedback resulting in ALOT of -rep, therefore this will promote a more open community.(Anything seriously offensive will still be punishable by staff)
Cons:
-"OH NO WHAT WILL I DO WITHOUT MY GOLD STARZ???"

Ok here goes my Input, Yes I know most of you make threads because you guys are getting the Beloved "Ngu Rep". Now I can understand that a lot. But I believe if the Rep system goes it will be ok. Now yes I know Rep for some people is Life, But remember it's Just a number on a website forum. Lets just put it this way, The true people on Ngu won't mind something to go like this, Because basically if your a true member to Ngu things that would help control the forum better and or removed something for better things that's good. 
Anyways, :love:
Anyways, :love:
