Reputation

2) Reputation: The Reputation or Rep system is in place purely as a light-hearted bit of fun to encourage members to produce quality posts. It is not to be taken over-seriously and reputation level is not always a good indicator of an individual's contribution to the forum. Any reputation queries should be dealt with through a PM to an admin and not through starting a new thread although please only do this sparingly unless there is a offensive or racist comment, in which case PM an admin immediately. Please do not constantly ask for rep in your posts as you are likely to receive negative rep for asking. Finally, please do not abuse the rep system as admin have access to the reputation logs and will disable the system for anyone who is unable to use it sensibly.

We are not happy with the extent to which some members are taking the rep system too seriously. We do not expect members to be immature enough to threaten to quit the site after receiving negative reps. The system is a bit of fun and, as such, I have disabled it for the people who are unable to enter into the spirit of it.
They will be unable to give or recieve rep and their current rep will not display.

Please only PM an admin about negative rep if the comment is abusive or offensive not because you don't like getting negative rep.
We will consider restoring the system when the members in question show they are able to use it properly.
This also applies to anyone else who intends to abuse the system.

An update to this saying that having recieved some complaints I've looked through the rep logs and disabled some members from using the rep system. They can no longer give or receive rep.
The reasons are for either:
a/ Giving rep and signing it with a false name
b/ Giving offensive reps

If you have lost your rep privileges you may PM me at the end of the month and give me some good reasons why you should have them back.
Not before then.

Thanks.
