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.

Rep boosters were usually dealt with pretty quickly on the old rep system. The only real reason it was removed was due to the complaints about -rep. That led to -rep being capped, then +rep being capped, the capped levels being changed and tampered with until the point where they butchered the +/- to the point where it's at now, where it doesn't cause any complaints because it simply isn't worth enough to complain about
I somehow feel its my fault for removing rep in the first place - Not entirely but that was the reason rep was completely removed and brought back with caps in place. If it is to go back the way it was before the caps then it will only end up getting capped in a few months (like it was before due to rep boosting/rep hate/rep whores who get others to do shit in return for +rep usually -repping other users, ect). Plus with all the talks about rep before its just going to be a continuous circle.
