Look, there needs to be some way to find the most valuable posts without having to use the search feature to sort through endless bullshit.
The rep system was an imperfect way to do that, but Roosh, you're throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Before, newbs to the forum could start reading and click on the rep. They could see the huge data-sheets of different countries, the guides we have to picking up women, the funny posts and philosophies.
The rep system was the biggest draw to the RVF!
I also agree, however, that people took the rep system way too seriously. For god's fucking sake, rep didn't mean anything. But it was an awesome way to keep track of good posts.
How about adding the old rep system,
with restrictions?
- Rep points can only be given through posts
- A post can only be repped once.
This would stop the biggest flaw, which Hencridible pointed out:

The biggest flaw with the former rep system was that it didn't make the distinction between a good post/thread and a good member. One guy could have more points for a single thread or post than a member who has brought value consistently over time.
Bring back the old rep points ASAP, and then add the restrictions listed above. That way it will be one good post = one rep point. Want 50 rep points? Write 50 good posts.
And if you feel like old members have too many rep points, delete a bunch of the superfluous ones on each member so new guys feel like they have a chance.
The solution to the rep system was to make each rep point more valuable, not to remove the system altogether. Without the rep system, newbs to the forum won't have a fucking idea of what's going on here.
