how about we just give each user the option to tally rep points or not? if the purpose of this is to make the extractions better, then of course those that are more available and knowing with the extraction tools and devices will have an edge, but whats not to say that computers will make a mistake? theres always that possibility. why should we do anything for a reward if firstly, we are doing it to improve a damned useful service, and second, what reason is a fluff award to help out others, including yourself? what is this, the scouts?
and on that, we're meant to make his extractions better, so maybe we could help him by, oh iuno, copying what he posts, and reposting it in a more organized manner? or to that end, taking what he posts, and asking "what does this mean, can you clarify it?" that alone makes the extraction better because it allows for people, like myself, who arent sure what xx means to be able to have it in front of them in laymans terms. or like with the balance patches, with that program that someone made up that shows the increased/decreased ranges of moves. any way that the extractions can be more easily understood and interpreted by others, as well as any way that the extractions can be made more smoothly and error free; those are what i feel fiel is aiming for with this. and he's already said these points are only for show, and the people here at SP know this. if they dont, theyre directed here where fiel himself says theyre only for decoration. like you never bought/found/obtained in some way or fashion something which only serves to exist as a decoration, and provide no real functionality in your life greg? earrings, belts, watches (when phones have a clock built-in, who needs a watch?), hats, decals, wall posters, anything.
and if youre sooooooo against it, then greg, i direct you to basil, where they have introduced a similar system of medals which serve no purpose. the medals there are for silly things like not getting suspened for xx amount of time, and they add nothing but flair to your account. they seem to have no problem with competition, whatsoever. theres no "OMG I HAS MOAR MEDALZ THEN JuU! I AM TEH AEWSHUM!" crap going on over there, its all business as usual.
if youre really so adamantly against something trivial, where your taking a stance against it is for the sake of taking a stance against its, then maybe you should stop whining. what the people all agreed upon was a reputation system which put one user above another. frankly, some users are already above others, or should i NOT point out your yellow-gold name color? or should i NOT point out that mods have more powers than regular users? or should i point out that i and others have red usernames and larger capacity inboxes and avatar sizes?
