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.

I have voted to keep it, based on your comment above.
I believe that Neg Rep needs to be reduced to 10% of rep power and not the current 50%.
10% of rep power given out as a neg hit is more than enough to get your point across and we need to remove the threat of a 100 to 300 point neg hit from the site.
It would promote more open debate over issues and neg rep abuse is the most common complaint I here about the current rep system.
Plus rep abuse will have to be controlled by the site management, but if you would put a rep wall on each user that shows the amount of rep they are Giving Out to Others. It would go a long way in controlling some of the +rep abuse that has been going on lately.

Oh, Shouldn't this be in the General Questions sections now??

Reputation is need, Period. Perhaps you should do some sort of rep reset, Or for example divide everyone's rep by 10 (Or maybe even 100). Removing it is stupid, Its a direct display of how much someone has contributed to the forum. I agree, In it's current state it is broken, And REP power is totally ****ed, But it CAN'T be removed.
That's just my two cents.

ngu should just take itoff for 6 months and let everything change not just weeks or a month because all your gonna have in that month is members opinion on why it should come back
