    Rep is as powerful as you let it be. If you dont think rep is important, ignore it and go along with your business. There is no need to get twisted panties over trolls who have too much rep or epic posters who have none at all. There is no need to get involved with who the "kewl" people are and who is the current witch getting burned of the week. If YOU respect someone, do it. If you dont, then dont. Thats whats awesome about the internet, it just doesn't matter.
    You are 100% correct.
    The problem here is reality.
    In reality, new forum members, new game players, etc... wwho come to the forums for information about the game will gravitate towards and "trust" the "veteran" posters who have all the green bars.
    The other problem is that "reputation" is not very welcoming to new members. Just because a inexperienced player says something off they get red rep'd and feel like a community outcast.
    Reputation does nothing to actually help the community. All it does is cause cause others to get misleaded and follow a poster who has lots of cool green bars and disrespect the noob poster who has all the red bars.
    How does rep actually help the community?
    The pros do not outweigh the cons. I have been on internet communities since before web browsers were created ans we all chatted at command prompt.
    Does FB or other social sites have rep? No, they do not. Because it causes strife, divisions and jealousies in communities, not cohesion.
    Disable the rep.
