User reputations enabled
We've reinstituted the user reputation system. We're still fine-tuning the details of how many levels there will be. We'll post an announcement when we decide. Until then, if someone helps you, give them a rep point so others will know they are members in good standing!

We'll see. If so, we can always turn it off, but I don't think it will happen. This time, though, if it does, I'll move the offenders into a special group that can't rep or receive rep.

It's taken less than 10 hours for some users to get maxed out on rep.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, old chap.
What I think is funny is that you didn't even look at the rep of the user that posted immediately before you in this thread. 
What I find curious is that I can't give rep to anybody. Explain that one, Mr. Byte.

Yeah, the rep points are left over from before.
You should be able to rep folks, though. There were some issues with permissions but I think I've fixed them.

Considering the antics of the rep club, do you really think that's a wise idea?

Nope. Can't rep anyone.

You were in the group "active users". I switched you over to "registered users" where the majority of people are. See if you can rep now.

I'm assuming I should have the little scale icon under the user info next to each user's post.
I have that icon only on my posts, which allows me to see my own rep level.
The scale icon is not present on posts by any user except myself.
I know I've had my beefs with the management, but this is hardly fair!

You and I both know that the first rule of rep club is not to talk about rep club.
Tell me why I shouldn't report you, Enforcer?
Besides... You know I was against the hole rep idea from the beginning because I knew that it would be abused bu the MT crew.
He fact that the rep club members give rep to every post they can for every member of the rep club skews the rep given to users with more honest and genuine intent. You have a full bar of green under your name not because people believe you're contributing positively to the community, but because you are allied with a group that pats each other on the back in this way.
The rep club makes the whole forum rep concept completely meaningless, at least on these forums.
Personally, I don't give a tinker's damn about how many green blocks are under my name. My contribution to this community is apparent, and always will be.
BTW - Bugbyte. I don't know what you did, but the situation is resolved now. Thanks.

The thing is DP, you never really understood the reason for Rep club, and by the looks of that post you still don't.
I suspect there will be little or no repeat of the abuse that was encountered the last time it was enabled. (although I can't gurantee it).

Not entirely true, it was no secret who was in the club and it very easy to see whose rep is over inflated (mine for one) so unless someone is very very helpful and ends up with loads and loads of danglies and gets mistaken for a rep club member it won't have much effect.
:. PS have a dangly
