xmas rep

[Mr-Trainor]

put the thread back now and just get rid of it like you've done in a week or so so there can't be any re-reps?

The only problem with that is that it'd be gone by the 10th December, which is no where near Christmas (well, close but not that close ) - so someone might start another one.

then they'd have to close a new one straight away and remove the rep on that one?

by then you can re-rep each person, if a rule gets made not to double post (which people prob wont follow anyways) then they'll post again saying they forgot they posted before, receive the rep and same situation again

if it's not allowed now, remove the rep then they can re-rep on the right date

stop trying to come up with situations that will never happen. im pretty sure that everyone who posted knows the posted and wont do anything like that.

i'm sure they wouldn't

Can anyone come up with an actual reason why the rep ought to be removed other than "I DIDN'T GET AS MUCH WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"? If people want to wish each other season's greetings they are free to do so and the absence of one thread doesn't invalidate the entire rep system

That's if it's closed straight away, but if not then the longer it stays open; the more time consuming it will be to deal with it.

Just leave the thread, the rep. Stop trying to change everything , You can only rep once per post, So when it gets put back, We can't rep rep the posts we already have repped.

because the purpose of that thread and every post in that thread was rep, if you made a rep 'post and ill +rep you' it'd be removed for the exact same reason, pointless rep.

whether they're saying merry xmas or hello it's pointless rep for the post.

leaving it will just cause people to gain twice as much rep when the new one gets posted as the exact same people will be receiving 400-500 rep again.

it's pointless having strict-ish rules on pointless posting then allowing these reps to be kept.

It's not like it happens all the time though, it's just a one-off thread, once a year. And I doubt anyone got over 500 rep, because they probably only got 10/15 reps max.. and I highly doubt everyone had 30+ rep power.

Reputation has been broken for years, was stated by Jin in feedback a few years ago to be honest. We should also ban anyone who complains within December until 1st January - A month without any moaning would be so good.
