I'm going to agree wholeheartedly with Arefin here. There's about a dozen other things I'd like to see happen before I see rep levels played with again.
And in the end, does it really matter? Back in the days when post count was king, that turned out to be an inaccurate identifier, and now rep (although more accurate than post count) is showing its faults too. In about a year or so...someone will probably post again asking for it to be reevaluated. No matter what, there is no perfect system.
In my time here, I've noticed...if something is posted inaccurately, someone with the authority to state the correction usually comes out to correct the statement. The people with the most rep are most likely to be frequenting the boards or know people who frequent the boards enough that they can be alerted when something of importance shows up that needs their attention - thus either way, facts are getting straightened out. Opinions are another beast anyway - but we're all coming from different teams, viewpoints, and times in our lives - and because someone has less green bars does not mean their opinion is less valid than someone with maxed out bars.
The point of the forums is to communicate and share information, and I think that we are doing an excellent job at that as we are right now. We've been around this rep issue over and over...and personally, I'm itching to see new ways of sharing information - like CD-Media - finished before we think of playing with rep.
