well after perusing different threads and the what not it has become painfully obvious the rep points system we have here on BuellXB is not worth a hill of beans.
Simply put it seems like as I have pointed out in previous posts in this thread that people who have just joined this month have accumulated many rep points for what??
..being witty, just logging in, owning a Buell, having blue eyes, the list must be extensive...
I also see members of this forum who it seems to me have thier rep points go up
each and every week by 3-5, again for what, I read what you post and sorry to say it's not warrented.
I am not seeing the merit of this system especially since one can give themselves rep points (I will admit I have given myself at least 10 over the 3 years I have been a part of this forum)
Maybe the system needs to get overhauled (at least reconfigure the rep points so that one may not reward themselves for just logging in or participating in a verbal circle jerk) or has been mentioned in this thread, show who and why rep points are given or deducted.
The people who have actually earned the high rep points that they have can be counted on both of my hands, I have a great deal of respect for those people and they know who they are, those who copiously give themselves rep points week in and week out, month after month are sad imho and seem to feel like they need to pad their reps so they can be considered one of the big dogs/senior members.
In short if you fall into that catagory, get a life, stop being a wanna-be or thinking your greater then you are because if you feel the need to do that on a motorcycle forum what other shit do you do in your day to day life to make you appear better then you are?
Hells if my rep points were zero I could not really give a flying fuck and I have found over the years that the bullshit associated with the rep points system to be a pet peeve of mine.
rant over, have a nice day....and don't forget to give yourself a rep point if you've read this post.
