Why would TTG get rid of letting the users use their rep, in a decreasing way? About 3 years ago i was as active as i could be, and the function was there. Honestly rep doesnt mean anything anymore if you can't give someone "bad reputation"

PS. If you can give people - rep, please tell me so i don't look like an idiot

I asked the staff this a while back and they said because some people would abuse that power like crazy. They would negative rep people to oblivion.

Yeah people had ridiculous amounts of negative rep that it was almost impossible to go positive again. The old repping system was still better than the one now :/

That was the old, old system. Negative reputation was also implemented within the current rep system when the switch was made. You could only give or take a maximum of 50 points, this was to stop abuse. Alas, the memberbase was too immature and abused it anyway, not only that but there was a lot of people crying over it which doesn't help.

The new system is better, less crying, less abuse and it's more of a positive thing rather than negative thing (no pun intended).

Reputation never meant anything - it was always heavily augmented every 50 posts, not comparable to Dimebag adding a thousand or two Rep to his and some others accounts some years ago. Negative Rep was useless too, only abused by people who didn't get what they want. Omnipotent Being forbid those people now having both the ability to see who rated their post as 'not useful' and also being able to give negative Rep.
