Looking at the results of the poll the majority of us actually think the feature brings nothing of use. Anyway, somewhere in the recesses of my mind I seem to recall this idea of reputations being floated in a previous incarnation of the board and the overwhelming vocal majority didnt want the feature. Pretty sure I have his accurately captured in my mind since my memory is legendary.
I voted to get rid of the reputation system if only to STOP READING THREADS AND POSTS ABOUT IT. You might say I could just skip the threads, but I usually at least skim-read almost every front page thread. Its some kind of OCD, I freely admit it.
