    I'd rather read Mel B's posts and judge for myself whether or not he adds to the quality of this board. Instead, the rep system encourages me to look and see what others think of him. Could the system be changed to make others happy? I doubt it.

    Rep is fine when it's one vote for one poster. Instead, one mod with a bunch of green tiles neg reps me on a subject while five others with fewer greens agree with me on the same subject and I end up with neg rep.

    BigSoccer imitates life sometimes: Life just aint fair. Let's just deal with it, good and bad.

    Well, if you think you've got a ban coming your way, then you won't mind throwing some of those green tiles of yours in my direction, eh? ;)

    Well, I think this thread is long past its sell-by date.


    Huss, can you post a poll in an announcements thread? Something that more users can access? A sample of people just from S&A is pretty small.

    You're a beam of light, Mel. A real beam of light.
    No wonder you have so much rep.

    When the ban you mentioned comes, don't forget the little people on your way out.

    What is the rep system really measuring?
    When I see someone with a bunch of green cards the first thing I think is "what a loser", someone with so much rep MUST spent all day long on BS and not neccessarily contributing to soccer. You see people on the Free for All board who hardly ever post outside of it.
    I have much more respect with someone with a few green cards that posts on the real soccer board than someone with a bunch.

    Actually, I like the system, because it gives me a chance to tell somebody that I appreciate their post without having to PM them. And it's nice to hear from people who appreciate my posts, as well.

    But sometimes it can backfire. One time I got positive rep from ilovecolombia, and I thought, ********!, from now on I better think before I post.

    I admit, it has become tedious, but consider the alternative. If we didn't have reputation, you would just see things like "good post," and "good point," flooding the boards and making it difficult to get to meaningful posts in threads.

    I don't think the rep system has done much to address that problem really. Instead of the rep system, bring back the ignore feature for non-paying members.

    I never ever go in the free for all bit. Stay on the UK bits, and sometimes wind those French bastards up in the French bits. So all my rep is nicked sunshine. All 2728 pos rep points of it. pffffffft.

    Ps. Come on lads.
