Wings of fire, I know you're only trying to help, but this is online, not offline, it's a completly different world, we wouldn't act like this in real life becuase you can get away with things alot more and there's no direct contact or communications so to speak.
The reason older members get rep more easily is becuase they're either famous/ infamous, well known, or people are afraid of loosing them, our numbers are down enough already
Though you do raise some good points, and I know you're trying to help, but it's not the rep that's the problem, it's merely opened a door to a long running potential problem that's being going on in these forums, and well, all forums.
And T-nex, whilst it's not your fualt for suggesting it becuase you could of never forseen this, it's not the end of the world, but it's proving to be the end of some forum members, or at least helping.
I agree with Carnix, people should be more encouraged to give out good rep points, bad should be for more servere things, otherwise, we're nitpicking each other's posts and we have to make every single one of our posts perfect and agreeing with everyone's oppinion, which is hard no matter what annoyone says.

And ALcar, I have never said that, you're the head of these forums, of course you do.
And as someone, I think it was T-nex said, there's no real guidlines on what to rep people for, but expectations, but could we please get a FAQ or something that tells us specifically what to look out for and avoid? Since it's no longer a question of obbeying or disobbeying the rules.
*Edit* Oh and can a mod please check my rep points? I don't want to complain now when I can avoid it, but "Stupid mother fucker" is not a reason to give someone bad rep, an actually, saying that's against the rules isn't it?
