I thought the same thing when I read it... (apart from the rude bits lol )

I think us mods can now breathe a huge sigh of relief and know that our time can be used as it was intended to be instead of cleaning up with a broomstick stuck where the sun don't shine!

Happy Geeking

Bye Bye rep .... if it makes things easier for the mods then so be it.

(have those who abused it been informed that it was due to there actions...?....hope they are feeling very pleased with themselves)

ohh and GMG...I'm sorry that your hard work and time in creating such a system wasn't treated in the way you intended...by some. xx

What a shame!
I cant agree more with the previous posts - some ppl are just fools!!!
never mind - long may the discussions continue!

becki xxx

I agree with you Vetty, shame I can't rep you now, oh well at least the mods can enjoy not being on playground duty now.

Darn it babe - when you repped anyone it was worth the 15 points or whatever it was that you bestowed. Never mind, it's Friday and I will looking forward to you errr making me happy!!

R.I.P THE REP SYSTEM

I did like the ability to give and recieve positive but the fact you could anonymously neg GOT MY GOAT...esp when it was for no good reason!

get a room......!!!!.............

lmao !

I find this whole charade so disappointing, the rep system was IMO a fantastic way of showing your appreciation/support.

That this site of ADULT PROFESSIONALS contains a few (and I am sincerely hoping it is only a few) bitter/mean minded individuals is I know only natural, these sad people will always exist, still disappointing though .

I truly hope that these people are aware that it is THEM that we are referring to, and that perhaps they should think long and hard about how pissed/exasperated/frustrated they must have made the moderator team for Sam to have had to resort to doing this. Taking away a system that the majority of us enjoyed

Having said that I totally get where you are coming from Sam and think that you had no other alternative

As an aside, I do hope that no-one takes this as an opportunity to start writing rude/offensive replies in threads now that they know they will not receive neg reps!

I will miss the reps, but not the amount of threads moaning about them, so be it.

Thank goodness it's gone! If I had to see another post whinging about neg reps I'd scream..... and this was after the warning from Sam last year - God knows how the mods felt having to put up with it all.

Well said,Vetty.

I never gave or received any neg rep, but enjoyed the pos . . .

It was a nice system but if it was being abused then it is best got rid of.

well what a shame, the rep system was fabulous and i hope those responsible for its removal are well and truly happy with themselves, once again a few small minded individuals ruin it for the majority,

as already said i hope the person(s) involved have been sent messages to let them know its because of their actions and so they know , that you know its them (if that makes sense lol)

anyway , i know its for the best as the mods have enough to do without dealing with utter crap every day, so although i am utterly dissapointed i can totally understand why its had to happen, but i do wonder what we can lose next? if these people felt the need to give nasty neg rep, then surely they will just now start posting nasty threads/posts, because they cant vent it in rep and also they know they cant recieve neg rep themselves, if so, how long before the boards turn into slanging matches??? i hope not.

so sorry you felt the need to do this sam, and hope you enjoy showing mrs geek her rep level tonight !!!!! oo
