There are alot of times where a poster has a great post but a reply to it is not needed. Is their a way to get a rep type system going?

There are pro's and cons with a Rep system, but I like the idea of having one. That would great help curb trolling I think, and would make people think twice before acting like asshats.

Everyone here pretty much gets along. I used to go to another forum with a rep system. Anybody could give out rep points or take them away. Eventually there were people taking points away just to be a prick. I really don't give a frog's fat ass about my points or whatever, but it started to get old fast. The mods were kind of pricks there too. Every one of them thought they were Barney Fife or somebody upholding every letter of the forum law. Its a lot more relaxed here. I'm not sure if we need one, but if we did, I think it would work fine.

I just would like to give props to some of the more funny and clever posters.

Yeah, there never is a shortage on clever shit around here.
On the forum I was talking about, I only got two points. One for some trivia nobody else could get right and another when I told some mouthy prick that if I wanted any comeback from him, I'd tell him to spit. But I think he may have been the guy who took a point away for no reason without leaving his name. Either way it cancelled out my point. Fuck that guy. But like I said, there were a lot more dipshits there. It got so bad with the negative points people started leaving. I'm sure we wouldn't have those problems here. It might be kind of neat.

I very much agree with Ermac. A rep system can be a good addition to this site, to encourage people to say funny and clever things, and act smart. Like if you get 100 rep, you get the title thing over you're head (just an example). But yeah, take out the subtracting thing. There's another site I still occasionally visit that is a WoW site, and yes I know most of you would shun the idea of going there, but there reputation system is just made of pure win.

A rep system will not do you any favours.

I enjoy rep systems, but they can be rough when you're just starting out because people are reluctant to waste a rep on you since you can't rep them back with much power.

So you can wind up with a sort of caste system, in which those with high rep power will only rep amongst themselves.

But I'm still in favor of the system. A little political upheaval is always interesting.

Before I joined, my other forum had this (except is was called "karma") and it almost destroyed that place.

So fuck that shit.
