I'm assuming you mean remove the 'you must spread....blah blah' etc?

It seems the only time I get red is when someone has confused me with YamahaR64life or their partner isn't putting out.

Two thoughts come to mind.

What is wrong with the rep system that makes you want it changed?

And secondly, if it was changed could be be more easily abused?

As usual it's only a small minority that cause problems on it and I'm not going to remove a feature just because of them.

It's not the rep system that's at fault. There are people who think that they can use it to pass snide comments at other KB members, and of course they can and do. However rep traffic can be monitored by Senior Moderators and Site Administrators, just as a warning to those who didn't know that. People have been infracted for misuse of the rep system, some repeatedly so.

What is generally common is that those who dish out abusive rep prove to be the biggest sooks when it comes to somebody giving it back to them.

It's like a fucking kindergarten at times. Wah wah wah.

The rep system is part of what makes Kiwi Biker Kiwi Biker. There are just a few wankers and whingers who can't figure out how to play with it properly. They just need to grow up and harden up, which ever comes first I don't mind.

Well, i have won the bet...made it this far, now its time to be proactive

Yes, many people enjoy using it.

That's not true, I gave you one in the last week for baiting DB when it was unwarranted. I'm sure he gives you plenty of ammo, no need to pick on the good posts :bash:

I enjoy the rep bits, stop messing with it Carver or i'll set Tri-boy onto you, it's a pleasant surprise when I remember it's there and check who loves me and I have to confess it's a feature I miss on other sites.

Don't give in Spank!

I find the rep system is a little like texting. When I have something to say but don't want everyone to see it and don't necessarily need the conversation to carry on any further than the comment I post. "Fuck you" is a perfect example, no further discussion is needed really.
However I still think you should be allowed unlimited bling on your birthday, up to you how you use it. :)

I second that!

I even started a thread! :blip: ..you see that's what you do when really important shit (that you feel you must share with everyone else) occurs to you ;) It's the KB way ;)

Oh and harden up Carver

I tried to get all reds , it was impossible

I would get a whole page of red and some tit would give me a green one

Then one off the mods helped me and I had a quadrillion negative reps ,,, but its wasnt the same as earning them ...

Oh
well

Trolling I must go .....................

I 3rd that. The bad Reps I have had, 5 ? 1 of them was fair. The others were just bullshit keyboard heroics. Invalidating the entire point of having a rep system.

Say YES to the rep po po, anonymous shit is cool, and carver is a complete cock muncher for even questioning it......did I say that out loud? :whistle:

That's certainly my experience.

They tend to be the biggest sooks, full stop.
Without even bringing the rep system into it.

rep is good

it an eye opener when you get several greens for one post and a red for the same post. I now know someone I could never trust.

I'm going to set myself a challenge - I'm going to find something that I care less about. It's going to be quite something to achieve.
