"... + rep!!" threads

[Carlos]

I feel that there should be a rule put in place regarding threads that have "... + rep!!" in the title.

It encourages some users to post anything they can come up with just so they get repped.

[benjamin]

well the thread maker will only rep people who he or she thinks has helped, surely?

[Catzsy]

Agree with Flicker on this. If someone does help and the help is appreciated then the +rep is deserved.

[Caution]

what ben and rosie said, they only get repped for helping.. it's deserved.

[Charlie]

If the thread starter is just going to pointless rep people, then of course they'd stop it, but if they're going to rep people who actually helped, then it's not a problem.

So you're encouraging spam?

how the hell do +rep threads encourage spam?

jesus christ, it's a forum, chill out.

giving reputation is giving other users more of a reason to help you. i always do it because i get more replys.

as ben said, you get more replies if people know theres rep going..

Exactly. Most of which will be spam.

I think you're the one who needs to "chill out". I'm just merely stating what my thoughts on the issue are.
