I think there is too much drama over this. Sure, I just got my 2 rep points for posting some quality content and was so proud of them, but does it matter? I judge MiXX to be a great poster because he posts sensible advice with good arguments and grammar, not because of his rep points. Why does it matter that they are disabled (and temporarily too perhaps?) There is really no need for anyone to be offended over this change.

If you look at the psychology of human nature, we need competition. We need a gauge to measure our worth. Some of us thrive off of this. Why run faster if there is no measurement of our speed?

Why berate Toronto/DC lizards when there is no gauge of how a lizard should and shouldn't behave?

How would a new member know who is a valid poster and who is just a blowhard?

You would have to scroll through the countless threads to see who has some quality posts.

For instance, there are a few posters in here that I always read, regardless of which sector they post in, even though I have no interest in there.
It's just because I know they will always spit that real raw.

Example: I couldn't give a fcuk about Ukraine or Russia for lizards at this point yet I read some posters take on it, just because I may be able to use it for the future.
