Reputations

I'll shrg off yer backhanded/ religious whatever

The Rep stuff is worthless and leads to no good. Kill it or be prepared to live with it. I can play the "Rep Game" like the best of them.

It's a waste of tim, bandwidth and Redskin fan effort...IMHO
Yeah I hear ya. Like I said before, I can't really see much benefit to the forum vets. Anonymous stuff seems kind of pointless as well. I wouldn't fret, but to each his own.

If it's such a waste of time and bandwidth, why have you posted like 5 times about it here? Seems easier to just ignore it.

I don't think it hurts anything, certainly doesn't affect you or me. But it may have an impact on new folks around here.

I see some of your points SBF, but the rep. system has some value. First, the reputation system encourages people to be thoughtful as it punishes carelessness and stupidity and rewards thoughtfulness. Although there are numerous people who will give others negative points for posts that are thoughtful and positive points for dumb posts, I still think the system's flaws are outweighed by its benefits. Second, the reputation system allows users to see how others view them. Granted, you can already do that when people quote your posts. However, some people would prefer to express their opinions more discretely and the reputation point system affords them an opportunity to do just that. And if a series of rep. points express the same idea (e.g., "You're spelling sucks," or "Nice way of backing up your posts with facts") it's easy to take note of that and adjust your future posts accordingly.

If people don't like what you say and their comments are without merit, simply ignore them. If people have something to say about your posts and their concerns/comments are thoughtful, take note. In short, disregard the dumb comments and take note of the thoughtful ones.

I agree with your point SBF. If this rep./feedback crap is so important to somebody...I'd like to know who?

Have a vote and see how important it is to the people that use the site. If found it's important lets improve the current system, which IMO is at best flawed. I think we all understand nothing is perfect, but we have alot of room for improvement.

Also, make people accountable for their feedback on another member and if you leave feed good or bad. Let it be known to the member who has left the feed either way.

No need to hide behind a computer, lets put a member user name with the feedback left.

You gues miss the point
ANNOY people can folks can make commens and not be resposible for their words or actions.
Maybe that's what what the young generation wants but that un American...say whatever you want.

Accusation without Representation? Yeah I geuss at the Warpath.

What do you mean by "responsible for their words or actions" exactly? I mean if someone gave you a negative reputation point for this thread for example what would you want done next?

I can see who's giving me feedback, it puts the username right next to each comment. Not sure why you guys can't see it?

Well, your grammar and poor use of the English language is making me want to give you a negative rep point right now. I'll say that to your face in public.

Perhaps you can explain to me how a negative rep point could be considered "accusation". You don't get punished for negative rep points, you don't get charged with any crimes, you don't get accused of squat. It's not like if you rack up too many, you're automatically going to get banned.

The bottom line is this: in forums such as this, people post opinions to the internet, thereby becoming public domain. As soon as you post your opinion, it is opened to the masses, who can then provide their opinions on what you had to say. If you used poor grammar and came across like sour grapes, then if they don't like sour grapes, they can give their opinion of your post.

It's like this: you post your opinion. If people don't want to hear it and would just assume you shut up, they'll hit you with a negative rep point. All's fair; you said your peace giving your opinion, and they gave their opinion right back.
