The death of rep

[AtW]

Oh FFS, the rep wars seem to have died down ever since it was claimed that it is allegedly possible to trace anonymous people who gave you some bad rep, this killed like 50% of CUK fun when you leave some positive rep claiming to be Real MF

FFS, is this some kind of bot that you have written that pops up every week with the same whinge about the rep system ?

ATW is upset as he is going down the league table while MF, MP and Shaun sit at the top waving at him.

He is especially upset as he doesn't know where the Chutney spoon is and would like to taste it again.

You know the system is bust when everyone is described as professional and courteous.

It's kind of inevitable. People either end up at the top of the scale or the bottom. Then we reset it and start again.

Personally, I think the rep score should be divided by post count to give a new super improved, better than ever rep score

Good point. It's a New Labour ranking system where anyone gets an A just for turning up.

10% (say) should get the top rank and the next 15% the penultimate rank and lower grades could continue as present. Either that or admin has to invent new grades intermittently, or change the score for each ranking intermittently, i.e. hard-coded values

[TimberWolf]

Or negative reps could carry a greater weight, so that tall poppies could be cut down.

I find all this discussion about rep distasteful.

You either have it or you don't. And the ones who have it, never discuss it.
