Seriuosly, the green bars mean nothing. It only means what people want it to mean. It means nothing to me, which is why mine are hidden. It does not change the person you are or the person you could become.

We also had a vote to completely do away with the repping system and it was voted to stay.

At this time nothing will change with the repping system.


Also, please remember that this is an open discussion and everyone is entitled to their opinions on the matter. It does not make them right, it does not make them wrong. To some people the repping system matters. To others it does not. Argueing over it will not change anything. It has already been determined to leave things like they are and until one of the mods or admons post something saying otherwise, it will stay that way.

Just like it is not fair to new members, it would not be fair to old members to take away their rep. EVEN the rep that was given during the abuse. It was all fun and games, because it did not matter to the people having fun. It was just another forum experiment. however, the experiment ended with some people being upset and we changed the repping powers. It was decided at that time, that the rep would stay. We will not go back and undo it. It was voted on by the people who were around when everything happened and everything changed. Simply because new members have come along (and this is not directed at you Vasu), who do not agree with it, does not mean it will change.

The poeple who were directly affected by the rep abuse or not and were around at that time had a chance to vote and voted. The vote stands. Just because you may have voted a different way than the majority does not mean that the polls were manipulated or that only those who had high reps voted to keep it. The members had a chance to speak and in fact, most of them said THEY DID NOT CARE.
