i liked the idea of rep and i dont really like the idea of people rep boosting for stars and shit but the people that got the stars you should be able to see them like old time but just disable the +rep - rep bit and keep the stars or you could just put rep back and the ones that wanted it gone can be mature about it

since they say its only a number on the internet why should they care that it stay ? << thats a question i want answer quote me if you wanna answer it

If we just display the stars as they currently are, it's unfair to newer members, as regardless of how well they integrate with the community they'll never be able to get them, and they won't really stand for anything, seen as repping would be disabled. As for putting rep back, it wouldn't work, rep was at the point where all it did was cause arguments, even if it was just a virtual number that didn't matter, which lead to bad things happening, and constant arguments and hate on the forums, people may say they'll act mature with it as they want it back, and they may for a short while, however as soon as it makes a return, there will be arguments from people over it.

Because people complained to much about rep. Everyday, there's always people asking for rep in the SB and complaining that someone -repped them. Instead of NGU being based on gaming, hacking, and what it was meant to be based on, it turned out to be based on rep.

havent you been in the sb today lol and tbh the rep 4 rep shit made mods busy yes but isnt that your job to be busy?

lol who cares /ignore them if it annoys you so much

So, you'd rather have NGU be based on something not really needed then based on what it was meant for?

My argument, for rep being reinstated, would be to limit rep power so everyone has the same and gives the same whether it be to + or -Rep, just to keep it fair and stop people boosting.

Boosters were/are people who couldn't/can't produce any good content worthy of people's thanks and reputation, so they took it their way and boosted to seem better. That was their decision and no-one should care of their rep.

If a user boosted, no-one should complain, they should just receive possibly a usertitle that says Rep Booster or something.

Reasons it should be added back are so that people have something to work for, and can feel a sense of pride about the content they have produced rather than seeing a few Likes on their thread. Rep can Make or Break someone's commitment to the site.

The reason I think it should stay removed is so that staff do not have to waste their time moderating the forums and working hard at keeping the forum steady, dealing with useless reports of people rep boosting and being victimized by people with high rep, -Repping them. It's just not fair that people decide whose worked harder just because of a number under their name.

Limit Rep and -Rep and keep it controlled.
