Yes it was a worthy thread. No reason why you shouldn't query the subject.
Obviously we can agree to disagree without getting upset. Everyone on here is entitled to the views they hold :S
Agree completely, +rep (how fitting... )
I can see your point Carlos but I dont agree. +rep is for good things, a helpful post, a well thought out speech, an alteration etc. Offering +rep is ok, as long as it doesn't say "+rep please return", because that's encouraging pointless rep. I think Garion has pretty much summed it up
+rep if for a good post, you the instace your saying "helping someone out" if thats a good post they give out +reps. if its offensive they give -reps. It's quite simple. Asking for rep is banned but offering to give it isn't and its find to offer it if its helping you in the mean time, and its them giving out +rep it should be no concern to you?
I actually do agree with you to an extent. One-click things really aren't worth the rep and are an abuse of the system, however some +rep's (ie, making an image transparent, an avatar, a link they need) might be genuine. Therefore our moderators would go 100% on judgement on whether or not the thread was validly needing help so as to use rep as a "bribe", and the moderator judgement would be HIGHLY contested by the forum users, especially those recieving the infraction. Therefore, since its basically a judgement call, it would be hard to enforce.
It costs nothing to be a good friend.
