That would not be nice. The smilies might rebel and conquer the world then. They are all powerful smilies! :D

We must keep the Smiley King happy folks!!!:D

I must say I was kinda enjoying the rep system....it was doing wonders for Pokie's confidence! I just have this to say for whoever decided to remove the numbers:arrow: poor sport!! JK

Let me put in my two cents as well...

:shoethrow:

Did I miss something. What are you telling admin to keep?

Keep the reputation point system.

Oh, well, I like it too. I've seen it work well on other boards, but the big difference is that those other boards had active moderation by several mods pre-elected to sort through "bad rep comments" and remove the ones that were given unfairly.

This is ok if you don't mind troubling yourself further and you have the man power or members willing to mod for you. SBL, I think, is meant to be more member-controlled so we can decide what it right and wrong here.

To those receiving all the positive rep they can handle from friends and fans, sure. But to those getting constantly downed just because people would rather them appear less credible by this little button system being displayed under their name, it's a less glamorous way of showing your personality.

I say change it to allow the user being +/- repped to view who gave them the reputation, and make it required to state a reason for each reputation given.

If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen!
