Honest question... Why the hate?
Slippyblade:
In all seriousness, why the hate on rep? It seems to me that it would be a useful thing to have, but since it was implemented all I've seen is juvenile hatred and rants about it. Some of it coming from some of the folks I had developed a level of respect for. I just don't get it.
Can anyone explain the hatred without making it sound like a reddit rant?

I dunno, for the most part this site is moderated well enough that reposts wouldn't be tolerated. Rep as it is now is not perfect, but if we act like decent humans, we could get something that works.

I was not particularly interested in a karma system, and will be keeping an eye on it. If it's causing more grief than it's giving benefit, it'll get yanked.

Can it be linked to individual posts as a 'like' button? I don't see the point of general e-peen enhancers.

I can't wait to have someone quote my thread, so:

Total agree, well for the one exception that I think the term "decent" is extremely subjective. ;D

I can. People on this site are all very passionate about their hobby. Any form of criticism (even if it was factual) brings the worst out of people. The rep system is a good one and should be kept since we lost the trade rep system. I think once the dust settles and we have gotten used to the scoring methods, then the rep system will come into its own. On the hate aspect. Well you get that on all forums. We are all big kids when you get down to it. Heck even the new generation seems to have an attitude. :P
