Who are the badged or no badged individuals with info we trust, knowledge we appreciate, and attitude that should be emulated?
    I don't care about giving downvotes to anyone, it's just not my thing.
    But even if it was something that I would consider doing (to someone giving bad/ misleading info) I wouldn't dare to downvote a Moderator as they can easily retaliate in a way a regular forumite can't.

    Ah, ok, but infractions are separate from reputation points. There has never been a suggestion that negative reputation points will result in a ban.

    No Onyx it hasn't happened yet.

    I have seen a few confused forumites taking this information seriously though, and those are just the ones that dare speak a word in forums. There are other people that just read the forums like me before I decided to post anything at all.

    And Blombardos of the forum that speak with tons of confidence may or may not convince forumites that his/her findings are the truth and nothing but the truth hence here's a rep for you mister!

    So good luck to people out there finding quality info with badges and reputations getting in the way.
    To the GASP that downvoted me for my comment above: my post IS related to reputation system!

    You didn't care so much you had to make a post telling everyone about that? Interesting...

    Thanks for giving your opinion on this. I still believe if you give a negative vote your only feeding the rude toxic person. We don't need the vote system just ignore the person they will become bored and leave. There is a report button on here use it instead. I say let the ones saddled with enforcement of the rules handle it. Is this system being used to make it easier on them? if your willing to take on that role be professional enough to handle all aspects of it. They should take the workload that comes with it. they are all volunteers but they knew what they were agreeing to when they accepted the mod badge. Please don't take this as negative, rude or toxic I Believe regular members shouldn't be able to personally attack another members reputation because they don't like them or the subject. Mods are the ones saddled with the power of banning or giving infractions. Thanks for letting me rant on always remember never let it fester! If the mods are getting overwhelmed maybe they need to look deep inside themselves to see if its worth it? Hopefully this helps you understand my opinion.

    I am truly amazed how much people on the forums are worrying about these make believe reputation points. I had my concerns about this when they rolled it out, but to me it has done a wonderful job of cleaning up the forums.

    Reminds me of SpongeBob SquarePants when Mrs puff took his good noodle stars away!

    Judging from the recent reaction posts from downvotes, I can see more name and shame threads being posted.
