The rep system scandal begins. haha. Abusing the rep system is nothing new to forums of this sort. Yes there is abuse here on FF but at the current time its not enough for any serious action to take affect. As of now the reputiation is easier to get because of countless questions and now finally with the rep thread that i made to help members understand it. Before rep was harder to get cause nobody understood the meaning or new how to work it. The rep system will either fail (because of abuse) or get forgotten about just as quick as it blew up. Yes i still love the system otherwise i wouldnt have done all that work to get it set up to go mainstream for members to use and understand it but at the same time if it goes under it goes under. The whole going back and fourth and neg repping for fun is just part of the system and if you guys want to play that card then go ahead. All i know is i have 294 invisible rep and i have done a decent amount of work to earn them imho. If anyone feels that i earned them in a shaddy manner then neg rep me and bring me closer to the masses by all means. All im saying in this huge rant is that the system is for good and evil and its all in how you use it. Going back and fourth about it does nobody any good. Reputation and post count shouldnt mean more then a quality well thought out post from a new guy, if that makes sense. Reputation is just an added option to make the site more fun. The posts are all that really matter in the end.



Takes a deep breath and gets off his soap box. haha

First time I've seen this thread and the first page I see a thread I started when I first joined this place. Thanks osborne lol. I dunno why it gets me all happy Miss you florida peeps! It was a good time down there.

You could always ask one of the mods to Lock it. Yea this thread is kinda out of control and seeing we have the other thread that tells people how to use the system this thread isnt really needed anymore. Its your call cause your the OP. I think they would do it for you. Its not your fault bro.

I just want to thank young master tyler, (tool to you guys) King of mechanical, wheeled conveyance, manual collection . He tried to give me a negative hit but was too stupid to click on the neg button instead of the pos button : rotfl:

and his nice POSITIVE hit gave me a push and got me the 8 points badge.

Thanks again young master tyler !!!!!!!!!!!!

So... just checking the ol' rep points thread out again. Looks like all kinds of fun

Anybody finding they get more points from this thread than for the useful stuff they post up?

Congrats Tool. who knows if I'll hit that anytime soon. I've been passing them out, but they don't seem to make their way back. Oh well. I'll just keep doing what I'm doing.
