Remove the Rep System?

[Prozon]

I mis-read, can I recast my vote?

I don't care, whatever helps boost the sites ratings.

WTF? since when has this site been about "ratings"?


things were better before the rep system. That is a fact. Not saying that anything is related there, but there could be. IDK

Still think we should elect mods.

I would think that the higher ratings a forums has opens up the possibility for better sponsors, merchants, and larger number of members.

we dont need MORE members. We have plenty of sponsors and merchants. and I have never looked up the ratings of a forum before I joined. I looked at what info was there, how active it was (by posts not number of members) and the kind of people that were there. TBH, at this point, I probably wouldnt join CI right now if I saw how the senior guys and the knowledgeable people are being treated and how much slack is given to people who dont bother to help themselves and dont take advice.

what happens if the third option titled: I don't care wins? Will the rep sys stay or go or what? It's currently tied for first...

For real^

This is all becoming a jk imo. We need more new members, w/o them this site won't grow and isn't that what the goal is? . Will someone put a deadline on this topic already! Make a decision already!

I think we should remove it because it is really being abused. i think the rep system is partially to blame for this site coming down to what it is now, its turned into people putting other people down rather than a group of integra enthusiasts helping each other out. i think the rep system has taken away what this site should really be about

I agree, it's good to have new members circulating. The people who really want to stay will stay.

The "I don't care" option would pretty much be the same as not voting. It will be decided based on the Yes or No answers.

oh okay

I dont think it should be removed. People should be able to let eachother know how they feel whether it be good or bad, keeps things interesting around here.

No, the reason why this site is going downhill is because theres more moderation in terms of

"omfg this guy called me a faggot" instead of moderation of information for threads like "how do I boost my car?"

"what exhaust is best", "should i itr wing my car?" "how many psi can i push on my motor"

I think every other day there is some dumbass asking the same question in the forced induction forum, and it goes along the lines of

"what do I need to boost my car? how much power can i push? is an ebay turbo ok to use? do I have to be tuned?"

s*** that can be looked up anywhere else with a quick google search.

This is where Team-Integra shines, and the fact that repetitive posts asking questions already answered by previous threads, or in the articles dont last long. Nor does peoples tolerance for idiots who cant use a simple search button.

On another topic, I got banned from this site for correcting a moderator. Kind of bs if you ask me. Calls us a bunch of f***ing newbs then recommends reusing stock headstuds for a boosted build. This isnt the type of stuff I would condone if I ran a website.

Just my .02 take it how you will.

I see potential in this site, because theres alot of active members. But most of it IMO is people talking with eachother about stuff other than cars, or stuff that is really simple. Pretty much, this is the site people come to in order to ask questions they may be too afraid to ask on any other honda site in fear of flaming. And for good reason. Those questions are easily answered by a search engine. For instance my signature.

There are plenty of members here that can bring good information to this site, they just need to speak up.

I also think the non official rule implemented by the mods a while ago you cant say search when the noobs ask a simple question. You need to show them a thread or answer their question.

i dont care if you dont like me or my car. At the end of the day im making myself happy.
