Important: User Reputation

[NoOne]

That sounds outrageous given that the points issue was to promote quality and not quantity. I am not questioning the quality of FPV's posts, but I think this relationship should not be made.

I totally agree, I had made this suggestion 01-17-04

I propose that spreading rep be cut down to either 10 posts or be cut out altogether and just put a cap on the maimum amout attainable , there is no difference as to whether a user has attained 35 points or 45 points, they are still a reputable poster. I personally prefer the latter option, a user can attain the highest rating (IE: 40 points) and maintain it with good posts, or lose points if the post quality deteriates.

I still maintain this would be the best use of the reputation system
