Here are the things that are so wrong with it.
1 It is anonymous.
2 It is manipulated by groups and multiple user names.
3 You can not give a rep for each individual post. Each one should be judged or none of them.
4 It does not give equal weight, points value, to every member. We are all equal or not.
5 It has driven off more than a couple new members, as they received red charms just because a certain group thought they where a new user name of someone that was banned.
6 It is given just for a difference of opinion. Is this the most opinionated racing forum or not?
I got my red from pointing out bad behavior and I'm proud of it. I'm not the ones that taunted, badmouthed, name called, unless you judge calling someone childish that, or invited anyone to the track for a whooping. Who by the way have a long string of green charms, for the most part or who have been banned.
One question. Is taunting about rep, a reportable offense?
