Yes they are.Originally posted by Jeff Maginty View PostWhat's all this obsessing over "Rep" on here recently? I don't even know what Rep is. I'm guessing it's some sort of thumbs-up/thumbs-down system whereby forum members can rate each other. Are you lot really so sad as to care what your virtual friends / colleagues on here think of you?
Personally, I'm more concerned about whether next doors cat likes me or not.... ;-)

Not quite that long. But let's just turn it all off and know it was just a piece of fun. A meaningless piece of nonsense scoring. A ranking of popularity, obviously. But in the end, meaningless.Originally posted by Spacecadet View PostHasn't it been almost 2 years now since rep was introduced?
So I suggest we ask Admin to turn off and just leave the points as they are.
Everyone agree?

What The Mentalist Says.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostRep is just the latest fad here - next month it will be something else.
To rep look in the bottom left of a post - there is a star. press it and you can give rep. To see your rep you need to look at settings menu ( http://forums.contractoruk.com/usercp.php ).
Remember that alot of people here have met and are real life friends. And everyone here thinks of it as a bit of fun. Apart from me - but I have mental health issues.....
