I don't think that the ratings really add anything to Flyer Talk but I don't see where they cause any real problem either.
After I posted this letter apparently a few people decided to prove me wrong. Suddenly, I started getting dinged on EVERYTHING. Even a letter stating that the board moves faster when there are fewer people on it got a ding. I dropped from 24 points to 9 (and this was in a period when I got a few more positive reps).
Sorry, guys, but I still don't feel that I was wrong. I am not sitting and crying about my lowered rep. If anything, you proved my point -- that the reputation has no meaning. As I said earlier, it doesn't add anything to Flyer Talk but it doesn't cause any real problem either.
