Reset Rep Levels for 2019 Poll

[KLH]

Per discussion in this thread, I've decided to have a poll from members on if we should reset the rep levels. One vote per member. I'll keep this up for 7 days.

[Hygro]

We could reset the levels needed for each star higher (especially the later ones!), but keep our old rep.

Somebody please enlighten me about the importance of REPS before I vote.

I'm not entirely sure; I suppose the neg reps show us someone is argumentative or a pest, and the positive rep shows us the amount of positive stuff the person has contributed? I think the rep levels matter for posting mixes, so people can't just use the place to dump their stuff. Perhaps it could extend to the general forum, and production and recording, with people being directed to the beginners forum to make their first thread starters?

I use other sites that don't allow new members to start threads in the main forums until they've commented on others, although here, perhaps the beginners forum could be used to make 1st question posts, for people looking for one-off advice. Which brings me back to the question at hand; the rep levels could be a barometer of experience and skill, so when people come looking for advice, they 'get' who they're listening to.

Well... uh... having only 5 people respond is really the biggest statement, but the "No - Leave rep levels alone!" choice wins.

Stick up kids is out to tax
And this is how the story goes
Brothers are amused by others brother's reps
But the thing they know best is where the gun is kept
'Cause in the night, you'll feel fright
And at the sight of a 4-5th, I guess you just might
Want to do a dance or two
'Cause they could maybe bust you for self or wit a crew
No matter is you or your brother's a star
He could pop you in check without a getaway car
And some might say that he's a dummy
But he's sticking you and taking all of your money
It's a daily operation
He might be loose in the park or lurking at the train station
Mad brothers know his name
So he thinks he got a little fame
From the stick-up game
And while we're blaming society
He's at a party with his man
They got their eye on the gold chain
That the next man's wearing
It looks big but they ain't staring
Just thinking of a way and when to get the brother
They'll be long gone before the kid recovers
And back around the way, he'll have the chain on his neck
Claimin' respect, just to get a REP

...must spread it around first, do'h!

[pete]

The rep grows bigger.
Well ...must spread rep.

A daily bump would have probably helped. As the forum usually just says "No new post in the last 24 hours".
Today's posts caused me to see this thread for the first time since I always just click on the "New Posts" tab when I get here.
