keep it, let everyone past Heavyweight + colored names use it. Done.

If not the above, then remove it.

I don't see the harm in opening it up for a week or 2 to see how it goes. If it goes well then great, if not it can be disabled.

[Mecha]

I think everybody (heavyweights and higher + color names) should be able to use it but if someone acts up it could be taken away from just them.

[cephalopod]

I don't pay much attention to it.
Martymidget basically only logs in now to downrep me and when I notice I'm just like 'oh okay'.
I don't think it's worth paying attention to, just a number.

[Thyrus]

I don't mind it that much. Its a good thing for instand feedback but people tend to abuse it some times.

[Naryar]

i like it that we are meta-complaining about rep... is this worth a -rep ? 

I don't mind it. Of course it is ripe for abuse but it is generally accurate in, as Yugitom said :

It does allow new users to quickly point out those they should probably be listening to over others. It's also a nice, little incentive to those that do good stuff. It doesn't mean much but when it accumulates, like in Craaig's case, he knows that what he does/did is/was appreciated. Also, because it's pointless, it's also harmless, so there's no point in getting rid of it, surely.

we just need to stop the mnb nonsense.

I do still lurk, though I've lost interest in pretty much everything RA2 related. Lurking for something that might bring it back mostly.

you're the only person who I don't rep seriously though (mostly); because you don't care and everyone with half a brain knows that you're one of the best members.

[Scorpion]

Hey MM, if dsl2.2 hasn't resparked your interest hopefully RA3 will (and everybody else's interest for that matter).
Back on topic and I don't believe rep is particularly important at the moment. In the past people seemed to get more wound up about it, but I think that the coloured titles are more obvious signs of reputation to n00bz nowadays.
It may do little/no good, but i dont see how it does any harm since it shouldnt take long for newcomers to be able to seperate the helpful posters from the attention-seekers themselves, so is it even worth removing?
If you want the rep system to be more relevant again, then maybe it should be available to all so it can police itself, or have a set amount of reps per year for each user, or even perhaps reset it on a yearly basis. There are many more options for reform rather than removal.

That, and maybe reset the reputation of certain members if they are not properly represented by it (ACAMS -100? What even?) if we want to make it a more serious affair. That, and remove certain member's priviledges to it. If you wanted a total reform for some reason then you could totally reset rep but that's probably not going to be necessary.

acams's rep is obviously a joke.

Which means no-one is actually going to take his rep seriously, except you, who seems to think it's a point worth discussing.

Do you not realise that I was joking?

[cephalopod]

That's enough, both of you.
Will apply warns if you guys can't behave.

i'll be watching this thread as well. considering this is a somewhat flame-prone topic BUT a good discussion nontheless, no flaming or trolling will be tolerated.
