I think it would be funny to have a word filter to replace "+rep" and all its variants with something like "I enjoy eating squirrel entrails from a can".
Is that suposed to be wrong?... =S

May as well, as that phrase is equally as absurd as "rep." I'm sorry, but a giant dependence on a high rep count shows a lot of insecurity. You don't need squares and dragon symbols to be a good member of a community.
Vulcan Hades is a good member who provides lots of info, and for some reason he had 0 rep and skulls once, and people sees that and thinks "This guy must be a troll", and is uncool because he is not.

This and this.Which is why we don't need rep. Members should be judged solely on the content of their posts, not by simply glancing at the skulls/dragons under their name. No one should need rep to feel validated.

No, it would just be an endless "who can top who" in the rep standings. I can foresee people posting threads, asking for rep, or making strictly "Rep me plz" posts in the just talk thread.

but it made me feel so cool
Forums aren't about being "cool." You should care more about helping others and contributing intelligent discussion. Trust me, earning real respect feels better.

Calm down "Mother Love" he was just making a funny.
I know. I can smell jokes a mile away. Sadly, my inflection was not registered well, it seems.i kno alisa i don't want reputation either i was just poking fun. trying to keep every one level headed and not have them go crazy with flame rage.
We shouldn't allow Rep begging. Should I make rep a banned word then?
I may also do a new "Thanks" system where it'd show a list of people who "Thank" the post underneath it.
*hugs tree*
What ever do you mean?
