Tongue in cheek, rhomo. Tongue in cheek.
Actually, I'm pretty happy with my rep points. Because I
don't have a gaggle of sycophants sniffing around my e-bum, and I don't play a game of "oooh, you gave me rep so I'll give you some too". If I really like a post - either it's informative, helpful, or just funny, I'll +ve rep it. If I really hate it? I'll -ve rep it. Doesn't happen often. Yes, I put my name on reps unless I can see the recipient is a platinum supporter.
The rep I've gotted has come from many people, over many things, has been a healthy mix of "I appreciate that comment" either in the context of keeping a thread happy or actually contributing something useful AND of negative rep in the form of "wind your head in, fuckwit".
It's a useful gauge to a self confessed PSB addict/whore, allowing everyone a chance to help moderate my massive e-peen.
Your comments interest me too, because I see the top repped few members and none of them seem to fit the mould of the "
whiny little groups on here and they'll just follow each other around like flies on shit + repping each other (to the point they have to 'spread' their reputation) before sliding their ePeen back up their mate because they posted a picture of a fat dog."
Nor have I seen any significant "
rise in bullshit posts" since the introduction of the rep system.
Perhaps, Rhino, you need to widen your understanding of what makes members "
notable and valued in our community", of what consists a post "
that 'adds value' to PSB.".
Cheers mate.
BTW - your poll lacks the option pairs that make sense of
-"I genuinely use it to identify valuable users" + "Keep it - it's working just fine and is useful"; or
-"I get a laugh from it" + "Keep it - It's just for shits and giggles"
