I fell the rep system is fine. My only problem is not with the system but with the fact that some people will abuse the system and put a lot of negative rep on one person. I am a member of a lot of forums and most of the time they have a goofy atmosphere, it works because I'm a goofy person. The problem is when you type a message you tend to lose your tone of voice, and even the smillies don’t always help
. People tend to take me the wrong way a lot but I just don’t let it get to me.
I hope this makes any sense, because I don't really think it does.
