As for my stance on FPOD's idea, unfortunately I have to say I'm not liking it, for the reasons Gambler outlined so eloquently in his post. It's also something extraneous; unneeded clutter, if you will, on the forum layout.
I mean there isn't any point for reps equaling downloading privileges since this site is free, which also goes for user uploads section. We can't request translations for the FAKKU staff to do (recommend only if you're well respected enough, and even then it's only a consideration - based on the rules), and custom titles in addition to our rank is a no go. I can't think of any other idea for the use of rep, other than it tells us we're well liked and respected.
With that having said (even though I thought I defended this idea pretty well), we're back to square one again: reps mean squat. Ah well. I believed the original purpose of reps was to show that we're well liked and respected in the first place, so this is nothing new. I think.
