i actually completely agree with you. i can name a few people that are like that on this forum and others. i don't think it would be fair to the people that will probably get things held on them, it wouldn't be fair for us to let it happen, and then nothing more then liekly would be done about it, it would then turn into a populaity thing.. as it would get harder and harder for this thing to work in the long wrong. it might be fun, but also hurtful to some. i don't think its a good idea.

well...im just going by what i see...theres a little dropdown after the last post on every page, and two of the options are "approve posts" and "unapprove posts". it probably isnt what youre talking about, but whatever....

Rep systems don't work especially on a site this size.

i beg to differ, the movie forum i'm on is approximately the same size as this forum, and it works just fine.....i see no harm in it, and it would definetly bring something new to the place, new and fun....

that might be the most illogical statement made on this site ( and that's saying something ). you somehow figure that people will reward retarded posts and leave the really good ones ( for example, when someone makes a thread about a band and you get to like the band , or someone makes a funny post ) unrewarded? post whoring will not neccessarily mean lots of good rep, in fact, i would venture a guess that it will only piss people off into giving you bad rep....

Yes, I have seen it happen. Rep really isn't going to be about rewarding great posts soon enough but about trading rep with your favourite "e-friends" so you can look great with your stars under your name. Don't deny the fact that this won't happen as it was on mx for a quite a while and really has no purpose other than that.
