    Quite frankly, I am growing increasingly annoyed by the fact that everyone is asking for free reputation points, and is also handing out reputation points for no particular reason. I've just handed out five warnings and three infractions (that will not expire) to those asking for reputation, and those handing out free reputation.

    Please remember that I (and some other Staff members) can see all the reputation handed out. From now on I will try to examine who hands out reputation, and for what reason. If it is not a valid reason, you may just find your reputation being reset; plus an infraction in your Inbox

    E: I will not look at reputation logs before this date.

    E2:
    Also, in my opinion it is fine to derep anyone asking for reputation. (Anyone who does so after this date).
    I may come back on that later, though.

    E3: Any admin wanting to help look through the reputation logs and doesn't have the power to do so, pm me.

    It seems that if you broke all SRL rules that won't get you banned or suspended. you'd just be a registered member with 0 posts again. lol.

    I wonder who it was doing all of the random repping?

    I was kinda getting fed up with it. As well as all of the spam threads celebrating it.

    I never advocated the (+1 rep indicator) threads, nor would I ever make one, (I may have posted in a few though....). But I am very guilty of giving random reps all the time. Now it is explicitly against the rules, so you all will have to earn reps from me for now and in the future.

    There is difference between loving a post or opinion some has, and to love just for sake of repping. It kind of mocks up the system.

    I'd like to thank you for making this clear. And apologies from me. I was one of the ones giving out un-needed rep and i'm sorry for that .
    Oh yea, and thanks for not reversing my rep points/banning/suspending me . I appreciate it. I will take better care to give out proper reputation in the future.

    Why not disable it? Srsly.
    The jealous temper of mankind, ever more disposed to censure than
    to praise the work of others, has constantly made the pursuit of new
    methods and systems no less perilous than the search after unknown
    lands and seas.

    Because reputation is a fine way of showing to the general public how well this person contributes to the community.

    I don't think that's a problem, as that's a reason for giving someone rep. But I might be wrong.

    I didn't say repping people hurts anything. All of the celebration threads and spamming reps does though. Why have an extra feature if there is no point to it?

    Does anyone remember the days when nobody cared about rep? I remember for the first two years of being here, I don't remember any person having more than one rep box.

    It really does dishearten me when I see people have more rep than me simply because they ask for it where as I do not. I truly have put a lot of time into the forum and especially in the past a lot of that time directly went into helping people to the best of my ability.
    You say it isn't hurting anyone? You just mean it isn't hurting you.
    By reading this signature you agree that mixster is superior to you in each and every way except the bad ways but including the really bad ways.

    I actually pretty much concur with this.

    I had 30 reps or something not that long ago, started getting lots of random reps. I'd much rather have 30 earned reps than 101 reps. Reset me? :\

    I'm with R0b0t on this one. No need.

    @Brain: [sarcastic]It does cause harm. It takes my pages longer to load because it has to load the images for rep boxes and for rep ++[/sarcastic]

    Actually, two reputation boxes are cached. So they won't take extra reloading, only extra rendering.

    The reputation system definitely serves a purpose.
