Rep System: To redo or not to redo.... that is the question

Come to think of it, even if u wipe the rep, eventually people will get to 7-11 bars right? and then, the new members will also be unable to catch up quickly (maybe they can catch up, but it would take time).

Where there is rep, there will be abuse. But I have not seen cases of people with high reputations being asses in this forum, so does it matter? honestly i would not want my own reputation to be wiped, but if there is really a need to, i would say rather then reset everyone's reputation, reduce it by a certain percentage?

You really care that much about your rep...?

I have a feeling that people with rep will want to keep it, and people who are new or low will want a reset. I wonder why.

Of course people with high reps will feel hesitant about restarting... but i wouldnt mind a partial reset/rep reduction... u will get it back in the end.

I think this can be compared to outspark removing the exp/rewards gained from the BR quest? They only removed the exp gained from the quest, and didnt do a full rollback (i think?). some people did not like this, but it had to be done to prevent noobs from being high leveled.
