* Rep power is capped at 50 (no matter what the front page says).
* All of the "rep levels" have been lowered quite a bit and based on an exponential scale. It'll take forever to anyone to max out.

The little green bars will still probably fill up pretty quickly, but there's not much to be done about that. Plus, I don't really like them being THAT big of a deal.



Basically, I'm tired of hearing about it, and the multiplier based on current rep had caused the whole thing to get out of hand in terms of exponential growth. Plus, it's (essentially) the offseason, and I knew this thread would be entertaining. :D

Actually, seniority is much MORE important now than it was before. Under the old system, rep power was almost entirely determined by current rep level. Now, seniority and post count have much more weight in the formula. Most people around here have rep power of less than 25 at the moment, just to give you the idea.

No joke, there used to be a guy (Gunther Fan) who would say that in rep messages when they were first introduced.

"Merry Christmas. Here's some rep! Rep me back?"

It was just the bottom of the barrel stuff.

Not sure how this changes things like that. Really, all this did was get rid of a bunch of rep whores and change the scale. The "rep power" is smaller for everyone, so people can still get hammered into oblivion - the definition of "oblivion" just changed.

People may recall that the software had a cap of around 32k rep points for years. Before this reset, we had posters with the ability to give or take that much IN A SINGLE REP.

I don't care about my rep, but I'd like my rep power back. It wasn't much, but it was all I had. Now my life is empty and meaningless.
