I don't accept change; I don't deserve to live.

lol.. I'm no1 to talk about that though. But seriously, I think something should be changed about the rep system.. It has a specific purpose, and people abuse it way too often. I think it would be beneficial for people's names to be posted when they rep. For one, it would stop people from abusing the system. If you neg. rep someone for a stupid reason, you will be neg. repped back. But on the same token, if the neg. rep is deserved, I don't think there will be a rep war. If some1 neg. repped me for a good reason, I would not be angry or neg. rep them back.

You and I might be robots who never react emotionally towards people's behavior, but a large enough proportion of people respond with verbal violence when others damage their fake self-esteem, because they take their lives too seriously. Wars between people who care about the number in their Reputation column are already tempered by the need to "spread around" points.

First, I think anyone that takes rep seriousy needs to take a break from their computer.
Daniweb seems to have a group of members that is here more for the entertainment value and less the webdev stuff. Those members will abuse, and I use that word loosely, the rep system, seeing it as just part of the fun and games. I call it the myspace crowd for lack of a better description.
The trend of Daniweb attracting more and more of the myspace crowd these days should be a serious wake-up call.
Personally I tend to agree with Kevin, though perhaps not so vehemently Rep is something you can only truly collect with personal experience and discussion. Some random rep gained from one or two posts will never convince me that someone is more or less knowledgable, only through my own discussions will I garner that information.
As for the MySpace crowd, I got a PM from one of them saying "your from London, cool". Didn't even have a question to ask. Couldn't have been more than 12.

Obviously we're faced with a changing demographic. In terms of the success of the forum as a business, that might not be a bad thing (this is the social networking crowd, after all). But if the goal is to be a top-notch technical site for working developers, then we're heading in the wrong direction. It's like turning a university into a shopping mall.
