Sakila 88 Report post Posted November 26, 2012 Ok, er, we already had a game like this once. You had to guess the character in the pic above you and earn a rep. The game was locked because--well, you said it yourself. It ruins the point of reps. If I may quote No. This is a pointless abuse of the reputation system. Thread locked.

Monsi 51 Report post Posted November 27, 2012 This kind of game is TOTALLY not allowed. This totally ruins the purpose of reputations. Reputations are given to and earned by members if they TRULY deserve it, not just because it's required to give one in a game. I'm reporting this topic to the mods. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chekhov MacGuffin 1089 Report post Posted November 27, 2012 What Monsi said. Reps aren't valuable points or a popularity contest: Many great posters everyone here on the forum knows have only a few relative to the number of posts they make, and some posters with relatively few posts have a lot (i.e. translators). You use reps instead of posting "I agree" or "thank you" for a good or insightful post. Someone with a high rep means they post things other people might be interested in (Sometimes I look at the comments of someone with a high rep to look at the posts everyone liked) so using them for a game dilutes the intended meaning. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
