Holy shit! I just read all 11 pages and jeezus was it tedious.

I personally like the rep feature and think it does some good, but I can't imagine going to this much trouble on a free site to appease, what I assume are adults, who don't have the balls to accept a ding or give a ding without signing it. Good lord, this is supposed to be fun!

If the rep system is sooo controversial, turn it off and start a "Cyber Showdown" forum where people can take their disputes and battle it out in public for all to see. The morons will make themselves very obvious in a forum like that. You could charge vCash for admission to the "Battle Royales". Reputation can be awarded by those in attendance, like judges at a boxing match. Once one combatant has distanced themselves enough from the other, the fight is over. KO! The less posts it takes to knock the other out, the higher your rep! "ding ding ding---Saw31 wins in a 3 post KO!"

Or, better yet, maybe we can all remember that there is a person on the other end of that line and be a little more civil. Just a thought! :smash:

"With great power comes great responsibility" (yeah, it's from Spiderman) There are some posters who's ding (good or bad) carries a lot of points. I would like to see a change where that dings must be used responsibly. DING Power should accumulate with number of posts....say 3 points for every post for example. When you decide to ding somebody, you spend accumulated points on that ding and you can choose how hard to hit them. That way, you could still nuke somebody...but by doing so you will have shot your load and have to accumulate more points before going out and trying to destroy the world. Under the system that is in place now, I have seen a first poster accumulate 5 emeralds on a welcome from a single poster...it would be better if that powerful dinger could have chosen how much of a welcome to give him. The purpose of rep system is supposed to be entertainment. I would think that this would be more entertaining than the haves vs. have-nots that is in place now.
