[quote name='CheapyD']There is a built in reputation system in this software, which I currently have disabled.
It just seems like its another thing for people to needlessly obsess over (like post count).
BigSpoonyBard, we have already reached maximum nerdosity. At this stage, any additional nerdyness is just overflow.[/QUOTE]
That's what I figured. It would provide interesting data, but unless there were some actual need or use for it, it would be just another thing for people to obsess over as you suggest, and only cause even more discord (which the mods would then have to deal with).
It is a shame though... I'd really be interested in the data. It's one of those things though, nothing more than a curiousity. Most of the dynamics around can just be picked up through observation anyway.
