Obviously it wouldn't be perfect. What is? I don't really care if it's perfect or not. The only reason I mentioned it is because it seems like a way to incentivize people to act civilly. I think it would have that effect to some degree regardless of whether or not it is flawed.

That sounds like a good idea for a new forum...where nobody knows each other. But I have to say, I honestly laughed when I read the part quoted above.

Most people here have known each other for 2+ years (you included). Most of the people here have experienced the rep system. We can safely say it does jack and shit to help. In fact, Rep sometimes was the source of more issues since "This person -Repped me and now I have to retaliate because I really hate this person's guts." There is no incentive to act civil when using reputation. There is only incentive to abuse the system. Not to mention, rep has zero relevance to how you act.

This is Modacity. Do you really think that bringing back rep will make everything peaches and pears?
