Please bring back rep points

now that things have settled down at CSS and we dont have huge numbers of "noobs" abusing the system can we please for the love of god bring back rep points. pleassssssssseeeeeee


people are relying on post count now and im sure we can agree that rep points were a good way to tell who knows there stuff and who is a good helpful member of the forum.

iirc we got rid of that system because people were abusing it. I have a funny feeling that it will be abused again especially with all the immaturity on this site.

The system is a disaster and serves NO purpose ensure any more reliability in someones information or posts than their post count itself. Otherwise by Rep and Post count I was the most informative member on the site when it was around.

It's a useless system IMO for this community, and will be abused the same or worse than it was the first time.

As soon as the first "who can get the highest rep??" thread pops up, the entire system becomes worthless.

Rep was pretty lame. I vote no.

You would get rep just for posting in the dungeon.

And it made Reign look like a genius

iTrader does no good either. I've bought and sold dozens of things and still mine is 0.

Are you you being proactive and rating others in your transactions? Also, since the system is still new you may want to point it out to the other party until everyone gets used to using the system.
