Do u want Reputation System Back?

[empirefantasy]

I agree with BP and other who has already explained reasons of not putting the rep system.

Newcomers. Some are awesome, some still have quite a bit to learn. Either way, you have posted 1, maybe 2 or 3, post(s) and have already a rep of -4. "STOP GRAVEDIGGING!", "YUNO LRN 2 ENGLISH!", "You have offended my grandpa's socks with your behavior", blablablabla. Basically, from only a few words, one gets immediately stigmatized. And when everyone is against you, it becomes obvious that you're not going to last long (except if you are either persistent or plainly dumb).

Yea, this was a similar situation that I expired here in forum. I finally found a community of LF2 which was my favourite game and pretty soon I got disappointed when I received a rep, which was -1.This made me so annoyed.
Giving negative rep to newbies, is the worst thing that you can do with rep system, in my opinion.They are impressed from finding a LF2 community and then they feel disappointed...
