...I gave you some Rep Power and added a comment. Check it out!
Which is a perfect example the system is seriously flawed with manufactured input causing it to be completely unreliable, useless and misleading.
It is a feature that comes with the vB software. If it bothers you that much, I suggest you don't use it. In fact, why not write the vBulletin developers and express your concerns with them? Perhaps they will make changes to their "seriously flawed, completely unreliable, and useless" software in time for the next update.
I liken it to putting stars and smiley faces on little Cindy's kindergarten homework paper. Doesn't mean squat, but makes her all smiles and giggles.
Cute. Are you a politician? Or lawyer? Good job misquoting me to lead readers astray to a misconception I think the system *itself* is flawed. I was referring to the seriously flawed, completely unreliable, and useless INFORMATION it gets from members related to other members.
I don't need to get a hold of them, it can be disabled.
But you already knew that.
"I decided to enable this feature..."
Here's one, I have 11 rep points. But I have 2 green bars. some people have one bar and more rep points. there might be people with more green bars and fewer rep points. is there a conection between rep points and green bars? I find if I agree with someone alot I can only give them points once.
OK, what are the green bars for? Oh, and will I get some rep points for asking?
Check Ebay.
I think Flash makes a very good point and made a good follow up response to HG's actions. He is merely pointing out that the rep points are useless when someone gives rep points to someone asking what rep point are " I gave you some Rep Power and added a comment. Check it out!" Kind of seems silly to get rep points for asking what rep points are, doesn't it? Now giving someone rep points for for identifying there is a flaw in the system would make more sense. JMHO
