Guys, I think some of you misguide GOG for a trading platform or eBay on forums.

GOG is a store and a forum, not a trading platform. I can't figure how setting forums to encourage trading would be GOG's priority.

But they promised (tee hee) fixing PMs to show rep and reg date anyway.

For the record I have only ever "downrepped" one person.

And my own rep only turns me on when I am REALLY lonely.

Anyone one know if there is a condition for being sexually attracted to numbers? I tried to Google search but came up empty. Perhaps we could start a case study involving GOGers with high reps? Sounds like a good dissertation for all you psych majors. I claim naming rights: Parvateshwar Syndrome.

While I'm not a trader myself, I think it's a valid reason for the need of a rep system, so far.

Other reason is for "early warning". I knew about the existence of Wakalo / Anasto / *insert other scammer's names here* thanks to their low-rep posts in the Ninja thread (mainly)...

Interesting...

What else turns you on when you are REALLY lonely?

Your posts, of course! :D

Just kidding. :D

That 69 is looking really sexy ....

I'm +1'ing the shiznit out of everyone in this thread, yo.

A reliable way to check trustworthiness and usual behavior would be to have an option to see one's comments by clicking on a member's name, like on other forums.
The rep system is exactly what you call it, a "somewhat of a guideline" because it can be abused either way.

That ought to negate all the -1 I handed out.

Dunmer.

Give us a reason why you're doing it!

;)

Id love to know why im downrepped. I think some of it would be funny and the rest is ammo to troll the people who did it. (if it also tells you who done it)
