Well the way I see it. It doesn't do anything to them because of the immature way some people use it. Being that I want it to be useful I refuse to abuse it.

Making all rep public and having it be somewhat moderated would help that. I still think it needs to have some sort of reward and punishment, though. Really, if it doesn't, it's just a number. You guys could negatively rep me all you want right now and I really wouldn't care.

The reward is positive rep, the punishment is negative rep.

But neither of them do anything. That's my point. It's not a very effective reward/punishment if it doesn't do anything. If having higher rep did something for you, people would care more about getting good rep. Currently, it does nothing, so I honestly couldn't care less.

People cared about activity when it did nothing. People care about post count when it does nothing. Why wouldn't they care about rep when it does nothing?

Why even bother, let people care about shit. It keeps people around the forums, because we all know the discussions aren't keeping members around.

Of course, the same could be said about post count, but my post count is not determined by what some retard thinks of me.
Same applies to activity.

Uhh.. You are looking right past my point.

Positive rep makes you look credible, negative rep makes you look like a dick.

Do you wish to look credible or like a dick?

Well that's fine too. I am just having a hard time figuring out exactly what KA wants the reputation to "do" for us members. IMO it does just what it is suposed to do, represent the opinion of members about another member. Nevermind rewards, the reward is the positive, or negative rep in itself

Without rep moderation, that is just simply untrue. For instance, D3v was the first person to reach 3 bars. By cheating. That doesn't make him look credible at all.

If rep were made public, and were moderated, it WOULD serve a bit of a purpose, even without having incentives for having higher rep. Either way, if someone doesn't give a shit about their rep, then negatively repping them won't matter.

This is my point. If it's tied into a shop system of sorts, you essentially MAKE people want positive rep, and encourage people to not be asshats, so they don't get negative rep.
