We have less than 7 guys since then that are even showing a single gold bar..
There is something flawed in that...

Now this thread is a poll to see what reputation system YOU prefer, the current, the one we have now, etc. etc.
Please keep in mind that this is just a general consensus to see what you all prefer, and if one 'wins' the poll, that doesn't mean that system is being enacted. We're just looking for opinions.
Personally, I believe the best reputation system to be the one that was here when I joined - Not regulated at all. No +/- cap truly let members get what they deserve out of their hard work or bad posts. The more effort you put into things, the more effort you'd get out of them. It promoted activity in my eyes, and that is how I would want it to be now. Rep boosters or people who exploit and abuse it would have a more harsh punishment.

Not to mention it's nearly impossible for members who have registered after the rep cap to even have a chance of catching members who were around and active before it.

What an amazing idea, how did I not think of that before!?
Uncapped with prestiges would be so much better, people might actually get 10th now :p

I agree with what you said completely. So what if people bitched when they got -rep, they probably deserved it in one way or another. As for people who get caught rep boosting, just take their rep away completely (if possible). But I hope that if the old system is brought back, we get our rep back to what it would be as if it was never changed :/

I'm all for the uncapped rep system, but the problem is that then the -rep would be abused to no end. I think there should be a cap on -rep (let's say 100?) and no cap for +rep
