(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Right, there's one thing I ask of this, and that is that the mods/admins do not close. I want to see the communities opinion on this.

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?

It's a number, that's it. Nothing else. It doesn't show how cool or respected you are.

Keep it, if you don't people wont post usefull shit, the only reason we get people helping other people on here is mainly because of rep, I would like to see it go, but I don't think it would help.

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???"


Just placing it in the official thread

Needs to be removed. This is the cause of a lot of spam and useless posts that people make soley because the user(s) wish to gain reputation despite the duplicate, or uselessness of the post. Also, the REP feature is not an accurate representation of a user's contributions to the community.

I think you should only be able to give +rep once to a member, and that +rep will be 1. That means you can see how many members that "respect" you. Thanks and groans should only be seen in the statics.

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. Winky Winky Anyways, :love:
