|  Who else hates the REP Scoring???
I unserstand why it was implemented.
But it seems like its become a popularity contest, or a tool to get someone back for having a dissenting point of view.
I been called a troll twice getting bad reps, now I been here for 1 year and visit this forum daily and never post at SherDg I am very loyal and don't consider myself a troll, but seems any newbie can join and if they don't like what your opinion is however you present it they can give you bad reps.
It seems the Rep system had made more people keep quiet about there opinions cause they don't want bad reps, it has restricted me many times i can't say what fell cause I think I might get Bad Reps,so I just say nothing.
And I know I will probably get bad reps by for saying this, but I just like to know other members thoughts.

People actually care about rep? If people give me bad rep all I ask is that they add a humorous comment to entertain me with it!

Honestly I could care less about the rep system but while its here I do not mind recieving them but not gonna care if i dont either. Now if i start getting neg reps for no valid reason that is just stupid but sill wont lose any sleep over it.

-- | This is the route I took a few weeks ago (see below) in reference to the rep system. Since then, I've had the papparazzi following my every move.
Okay, I'm going to try a new approach here:
Fedor is God. Cro-Cop is Jesus. Wandy just cured cancer and Hendo has rid the world of AIDS. Tito is the worst fighter ever with a huge head and a skank girlfriend. In reality, he was never champion in the UFC and all of his fights should be ruled no contests because all of his opponents sucked anyway--guys like Mezger, Tanner, Belfort, Silva, Shamrock, Griffin, etc. He's a gatekeeper that will get owned by Rashad and get murdered by Wandy in a rematch (even though he beat him to become LHW champ when Silva was "green" or orange, or purple, or polka dotted, or an astronaut). I'm not worthy to debate anything in this forum even though I began religously following MMA after UFC 1 more than a decade ago and have intensely continued since. My name is Marlo Black, will you guys come hang out in my treehouse?

I just don't pay much attention to the whole rep thing. It was a nice little diversion when it first was implemented, that is about it.
I couldn't tell you why I have two rep numbers, or what it means. A good post is a good post, period.
Now that I DO know about the bad rep thing, what happens if some spammer/troll gets a bunch of bad reps? Does he have to do 50 push-ups? No happy hour drinks? Forced to watch the Koschek vs. Sanchez fight 3 times?

Who cares about the rep system? It's somewhat useless, but I like to get as many as possible. I still speak my mind.
Whenever someone gives a negative point, I give it back to them because I laugh at how they actually care enough to give a neg point.
Ronin, I'll give you a positive point, give it back if you like.

Like Tick said, who cares about it. Just ignore it and don't let it hurt your feelings.

-- | well thats a bad rep from me (j/k)
But seriously i feel obligated to post now when before i would just read what everyone wrote, i was just afraid that one day i would be deemed to inactive and no longer have the privilege to post a thread when i really wanted to.
Now vote for me for prom king! Please?
