It should be for members to award other members, moderators are to be just that................................MODERATE

I think you're missing the point, its nice when you make a great post to get some recognition because while you may gain respect its not exactly a 'great job!' or anything.

Okay do you want all the mods to stop posting than and only moderate?

Seriously, I think you would have pointless reps left and right if that went down, all i'm saying is if someone makes a great post the member goes to the moderate and they rep it would cut down on the pointless repping.

It's the way it works on every other forum, and excuse my mistake as I'm a little tipsy

A moderators job is to be Moderate or Neutral if you will

If this gets enough support, then giving it a trial run won't do any harm.
If things start getting silly, then it gets binned.

I don't know why you're all being negative a priori. Seriously, it's a little insulting to argue that it would turn into shit without giving it a go. Plenty of other sites use it, are we saying MB is really that retarded?

I'm not saying the members here are retarded (although I sometimes wonder), I'm saying some here would give rep points out to friends and won't be arsed about others...

And you know that how? I'd like to think that we're a pretty tight-nit community (I'm not digging big3's crap about cliques)...everyone knows everyone...

Besides, we don't even know if the Admin would be willing so this is a moot discussion.

On my other forums I always spread around rep to noobs if their posts are intelligent
