As it stands right now, I am completely against forum rep of any kind. Until Matt and I can figure out a way to devise a ruleset around rep manipulation that isn't totally subjective, I'd rather not moderate something that there can be too much subjectivity. I like the idea of a +rep system but it very well could be used as a method of harassment as has been noted. There have definitely been instances in the past where people have just +1 a post just because of who posted or because it was against a particular person. I'm willing to look into the rep system being brought  in some form but right now, I'd rather see how the forums look in a couple months.

It's been a couple of months already and they're dead. There is no incentive to post anymore on anything that isn't an essay. I don't understand how forum rep is taken so incredulously serious that "rep manipulation" alone is not just simply "people don't agree with me so I must disable the rep system so others don't have to deal with people not liking their opinions". Like yeah, shit takes are gonna give you shit rep. Not to mention the massive community support for adding rep back or at least some form of alternative. It feels like a handful of staff want it gone and that's about it which isn't fair to everyone else.
