As me and Luke were assigned Community Admins, I thought it would be appropriate to start a series of "community threads" either posted by myself or Luke, to let you all know of the current situation of what is going on with staff and whats happening with things.
Vb4.
Now you may or may not have heard, but YES vB4 is being worked on and is currently in test stages, im not going to put an expected release date as we all know shitstorms come if the target date is not met. All I will say is expect it soon.
Private Premium.
Only the premiums would of seen my thread in their section about this, but yes, Private Premium is getting a re-vamp. How the revamp will be done isn't finalized yet, but you can expect the revamp to make the section more "private" than last time (higher expectation) and contribute based. Meaning we will look at how you contributed in Private Premium and the rest of the forum before you are allowed entrance.
Now onto Rep.
Rep is broken, it is, soften it up how you want, but in the end you will see its broken. Now there will be a poll attached to this thread. VOTE on the poll, this will be a PERMANENT change on Rep.
The options will be:
1. Leave Rep how it is.
2. Get rid of rep totally (disable it and hid the display).
3. Get rid of rep totally (disable it), but keep the display of rep. (bars/stars)
4. Get rid of -Rep/+rep, but Keep Thanks, Nominations, Groans. (make groans worth 3 -rep).
So that is about all thats happening in "staff world" at the moment, you will see another "community update" thread in about a week. Me and Luke will try to push for 1 thread a week to let you all know. Now sometimes there might not be anything to update you all on, but if thats the case, as soon as something comes expect a Community Update thread.

How about have an option to remove your rep instead of everybody losing it, for example the reputation segment under your avatar can be toggled on or off. When toggled 'on' the member does not lose the reputation segment under their avatar and can be +/- repped or they can +/- rep other members. Thank/Nominate buttons still give +5.
By having reputation 'off' the member is removing the reputation segment under their avatar. If a member happens to turn off reputation, they still have their original rep count but this cannot be changed until toggle on again, they can still thank and be thanked in posts this is the same for groans and nomination button also. The member cannot do anything regarding rep when toggled off. This is just an idea, I'm not sure if it could be implemented though :/ I hope I explained it clearly :p
tl;dr: Maybe a option could be implemented to toggle rep on/off that way the people complaining can do what they want with their rep!

For someone who doesn't care about rep at all you sound pretty mad.
Now to explain myself since you obviously can't read. I -repped you for -repping people for no reason. In other words, I -repped you for abusing your rep. Explain to me how me doing that is abusing rep? If you want another reason, maybe I -repped you for typing like you don't know how to speak English. Another reason? Maybe I -repped you for making all your text blue, size 5, bold, and center in all your posts. What if I -repped you because you don't care about rep?
Seriously if you have a problem with me pm me or write on my wall instead of spamming our forums.
