It doesn't worry me personally. I have one of the higher rep counts - does that make my opinion of something more significant that yours?

...I'd argue they're simply different opinions to be considered...

dunno
but it doesn't matter
because this isn't a democracy, this is KB ........

nothing said here will influence anything
and things will roll on, as previous, over ALL suggestions, thoughts and philosophies - good, bad and indifferent ...

which is really quite comforting in a way ---- at least we know where we stand, i suppose....

I dunno, I once suggested to Hitcher that he should exercise his right as a male and practice the solo art of procreation and then I couldn't log in for a month.

.... which is better than not being able to sit down for a month had he exercised it in tandem with your good self .........

I know, I know!

Rather than going back to zero, anyone who has been here more than a year gets reset to the equivalent in red bling.

Lets see the long term "I'm really important on an Internet site whores" get back in the green within a year. Might lift the tone a bit.

Mental Trousers should be reset to the equivalent in green, just to piss him off, and net red bling holders should be set to zero and their avatar changed to a sheep.

What about some consistency then? We've already have a standard set in that the post count doesn't include any rep for post in Rant and Rave.

Let's just wipe out all rep points gained in Rant and Rave.

There'd be a huge pile of people who lose crap points that way.

Thats soooooooooooooooooooo damn right, this place is just full of opinions.
Get 1000 people in a room and one says ''its going to rain tomorrow''
some will agree, some wont....
The rep system WILL stay, its apart of Kiwibiker, you can chew this over for the next week and beyond, nothing will change.

I don't care either way tbh...leave 'em or bin them but if they're to be binned then can I swap them for some petrol vouchers? Please?

This too has been suggested before, apparently its not possible from a technical point of view.

Huge bummer, as I was keen to see this happen.

tbh, I like bling...well, I like green bling..not too keen on the red stuff. I like to see it in my user cp and I like to read the comments that people have issued with it. Sometimes I think that the rep comments are so good they are worthy of bling in their own right.
I guess that makes me a pathetic little person without a life, in the eyes of some.
I don't care, I still like those pretty green squares and would hate to see them disappear.
