(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?

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:

The downfall of Rep: It does indeed prevent most user's from voicing their opions. Because if they do, they will most likely get negative rep if it is negative torwards another user. And honestly, no one likes to have or get negative repped. (Except for me because I honestly don't give a shit about rep.)

The Thumbs up about Rep: Although the rep system does lead to broken rules. It is still good to have it. What I'm saying is, if a noob is in need for a prestige hack and someone is holding a service, how would they know if they are a trusted member without revealing their rep? I know I wouldn't give my account information to some stranger. So pretty much the rep shows who is trusted & a contributing member.


That is the referal system, but they should make it that you need PROOF of a transaction/service which has to be approved by mods/admins, or even create a few new staff spots/statuses.

That way you know FOR SURE who is trustworthy and what not.

I think they should keep the reputation system.

I've posted on various forums and the rep system has always been the best way to gauge whether a member is good or bad, and beyond that, how valued they are. Of course, this is obfuscated by the people who abuse the rep system, but those few people shouldn't ruin it for others. The moderators should enforce the rep rules and crackdown on the rep abuse in order to make it fair for everyone.

EDIT: My rep is currently pitiful, so I'm not saying this from the perspective of someone who wants to keep their high rep. I'm also not afraid to voice my opinion, even though my rep is low.

Keep it. If people cry about being -repped more people -rep them for being a pussy.
Most people only post for the rep also.

Is it just me or are basically all the staff that have posted agreeing that we should get rid of rep?

IMO we should get this to happen, if half the staff are on our side I'm pretty sure we could do this shit.

It is a downfall in several ways but also at the same it has advantages. If we get rid of rep we are going to lose members. We need to keep rep. I think that from here on out that if you get caught boosting then you should get a perma ban.

If rep goes were left with one thing... vBux... If that goes were left with nothing and everybody will only get known by their names.

Keep rep, Or loose members.
