Public appeal for Rep removal
I think its fairly useless, serves the same kind if dangly carrot as the gold star stickers in school.
I cant see rep on the mobile app, which i think is nice. I have seen, without looking at anyones stats though, the repeat "forum cops" and "teachers pets" who will invariably take the comfortable side if a, shall we say spirited? discussion. More than most, that type of OTT behavior is annoying.
I think the Teacher's Pet Posters know that, however, and make it a point to play devil's advicate to the hilt and beyond. Not just beating the dead horse, but stomping, kicking, shooting, nuking, and finally looting Type VII Flashguns from said horse.
While spirited discussions will always occurr, so will Teacher's Trolls and Forum Police PaTroll. (badum bum tssssh!)
