I have never seen one of these rep things before and I had been racking my brains trying to figure out what the numbers meant. I am glad that the negative one has been taken out - I could see how that could be hurtful to people. I am a big fan of giving people compliments though and will probably continue to do this through my posts to them on the threads.
Wait, I thought it was decided a few months back that "Rep Power" was not a desired feature to have here. Many felt it was almost like having a popularity contest and it was getting out of hand in the short time we had it.
I see no point to it, I feel it is a very bad thing to have, especially on a site like this where so often people are already often emotional or on an emotional roller coaster with what is happening in their lives.
If I have a higher "rep" is someone more likely to believe me (even if I may be wrong) than someone with low or no rep (who may be correct)?
I'd like to see it go away (again) and this time NEVER come back. I thought it was a buried idea LONG AGO.
