No. If we did, silliness would fill all the thre-- wait. It already fills all the threads. But it would be even worse without rep points.

I love my rep points. Just try to take them away. You'll have to kill me and pry them from my cold, dead fingers.

Or a date with RT at the drive-in Burger King. You are the romantic.
As long as you're paying, I'm in.
Naw. It's too ingrained in the culture. Maybe instead we should add an additional point system. Let's call them "writerly points." These would not be available in any non-writerly forums.
On second thought, forget it. Someone would start a "writerly point" thread in the romance or ask the editor forums and screw the whole thing up.

No problem. Can you lend me a twenty? I want fries AND onion rings.As long as you're paying, I'm in.
i thought he needed glasses.
Just as a practical FYI, I already tried to figure this out in the beginning, and there was no way to get rid of the point system without getting rid of the comments.
But carry on debating it anyway.

I did see a forum where the rep points were set to 'XXX is on a distinguished path' and 'XXX has earned our respect'.
That was it. Two groups and nothing else.

Are you nuts? I earned every one of those. And besides, where else can I post naughty comments to those naughty mods?

Oh, that's true, Rll. We could kill the "levels." You'd still see how many points you had, though, in your user CP. I don't think people care much, though, ever since we got the blobs to be invisible. Except for that one blessed day when Mac and Charlie let us see our precioussses again.
don't bring up the blobs, Missy. I worked very hard to be their undoing. Don't make me dredge up the Blob song thread!
