Is it my imagination or did the rep points for many of us skyrocket over the past week? I think mine jumped a 1,500 points for no reason I can figure out. Mine were inflated to begin with, but now they're ridiculous. Something wrong with the software?

I've no idea what you're talking about. I clearly have little reputation

It has gotten a little out of hand. Maybe its time to turn it off?

Re: Rep power gone wild?
Yes it seems the rep points for some people have gone off the charts!

Maybe after we give me over 9,000 reputation, then we can turn it off.Originally posted by Tuck91 View PostIt has gotten a little out of hand. Maybe its time to turn it off?

Yup I noticed that as well. But personally I don't put much weight on it anyway.Comment

Agreed.Originally posted by tcope1 View Post
To me a persons rep is formed by the content of their previous posts, not the number of green dots they have received. I don't have a problem with the rep point system, but I don't use them to base my opinion of a person off of.BrianComment

I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.
I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
Remove swirls my friends.Comment

Re: Rep power gone wild?
Yeah, it is insane how much some people have, and so little others have. I'd say it's time to turn it off. On some sites it is an accurate way of determining the "veteran" or experienced users, but I don't that is completely the case on MOL.Matt

Re: Rep power gone wild?
Hmmm...what have we all been saying for months, turn it off, its useless and pointless.
If we can change the name or tone it down a bit, maybe it's worth it, but not the way its working right now.

Re: Rep power gone wild?
It does seem that a relatively small group of people have discovered the function and are using it quite a bit lately. We're not calling it an abuse of the system....... most of you aren't really taking it seriously anyway so what's to abuse, really? But since some of the numbers really are getting waaay up there, and very quickly, if enough feedback says to ditch it then we just may.
Continued responses to this thread are welcome, either way.Michael Stoops

Re: Rep power gone wild?
Well I've been giving reputation to everyone that has replied to this thread saying we should get rid of the feature of if they say it's useless.
Ironic, no? HeeheeComment

Re: Rep power gone wild?
I just gave Mr. Stoops a REP and it added 4 to his score. That seems correct. (From 8,295 to 8,299) << Someone is well liked and working hard for MOL!
I also added a REP to Akimel and his score jumped up by 4. All seems OK. (From 2,156 to 2,160) << Great posts by this cat!
I only give out rep points to people that add good stuff to the MOL. I love looking at the Shine and Show postings and do add a rep point for the poster IF they go more indetail to how they did the detail. It's got to be informative to get the REP! Pretty sun shots of the car don't get it.
Does the REP Power system work? I think so.
Note to self: I need to add REP to the person that listed that cool step ladder that Lowes was selling over this last weekend!!! $22 for a $90 step ladder..... SCORE!!!
