    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?

We will eventually weed out the trolls when they can no longer get their jollies from getting under people's skin.

    just a thought.......Maybe the rep system is working the way the owners want it to.

    Oh sure, I've been part of the conversations ...........apparently , the mods determined that I've just not been part of the problem.

    Just because I like Casey Roberts is not reason enough to say I have been mis behaving.....lol

    And all you Casey haters?????
    Smoked crow with a little red vinegar sauce, collards, Mac and cheese and jalapeņo corn fritters sound ok for y'all?????

    Or even more likely, the system is just working in general...............maybe the folks with the bad reputation points can start having more positive and truthful things to add to the forum and they won't be so lit up like Rudolph.

    I'm on several other vbulletin forums ( one a weapon forum and one a BBQ forum) and the reputation discussion never even comes up at all........

    Maybe dirt racers are just a little more sensitive or we have more women on this site than the others , I just don't know.
    Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

    BBQBoy maybe the mods just look at you as the fat kid that stutters and has a lisp...they feel sorry for you and let you hang around.

    and there's people on here that have convinced themselves that they're not part of the problem, when in actuallity they are worst ones, from what I've seen today from the moderators, I am glad they're putting forth the effort to clean this site up, it needs to be and after a talk with a mod, I know the rep stuff isn't going anywhere and that's fine, I like many others are just on here periodically for info and results because we can't get to the track as much as we used to. Looking fwd to the future of this site because there is actual good info on here sometimes, I try to get along with everyone, but some don't want that.

    and that's what I'm talking about right there, barbecueboy has to go and prove me right with his red rep comments, you accuse others, yet you are the instigator, I didn't say one word about you or to you yet you have to go and run your mouth in a rep comment. Hope you enjoy it, and yeah you can keep on doing it, but like boss said, he will take care of matters... and I will stop here as to a make sure I don't go back on my word to the mod.

    Perhaps it is misunderstood when I said WE. We cannot - as in the Mods. It can be done in the Admin Control Panel but WE do not have access to that. We only have the Mod Control Panel which allows us to ban and delete. So this is how we are going to address it and police it.

    I'm a fan of the negative remarks I receive in the rep comments......Frankly, it's far more entertaining than most of the stuff published on the board...

    Nicely done..............

    As a suggestion,See if the IT guy can do anything about the multiple screen name antagonists under the same IP address......

    That would go a very long way in getting the desired effect of forum fluidity.

    Didn't send you any rep bud, but your not the first person to indicate that someone sends them and then signs my name to it.........I sign mine a certain way and anyone that's ever gotten any know exactly how it reads.

    Course it doesn't really matter anymore, but Since your were so bold to make the premature accusatory statement I'm hoping you will be equally as bold to issue me a heartfelt apology.
