rep is a fun system and i don't think that jacob made it with the intention of it being taken so seriously. page1'in here, but it's good to worship your creator. it's not like he's making a ton of money doing this for us
If only you knew just how much profit Jacob sees from our post (j/k)...
Seriously though, I'm really only posting here to point out that I support the first part of your first sentence. Rep is a pretty cool system (in my opinion) and it's unfortunate that people get so worked up about it and so abusive with it that Jacob has to shut it down or that threads have to be locked when people fight about it. Made me glad that I wasn't on Fakku when he removed it (temporarily) because I would've been pissed about that (truth be told).
If people really don't care about rep (no offense meant but), why do they complain? Reputation, as film pointed out, is a fun system. I'd hate it if Jacob ditched it again (for the sake of putting an end to the fighting). And like Waar said, who cares why Jacob (or ANYONE for that matter) gets massive amount of rep?
Try to enjoy the reputation system, it makes things interesting.
If rep is really that big a deal though, maybe it (sadly) does have to be eliminated.
Or ban those who abuse it. Ramsus and other members are -repped daily. That's unfair IMO
