So over the last two days I've been getting back into the habit of posting after taking about 5 weeks off from FT. I'm still finding my way around all of the new features and I've now discovered REPUTATION POINTS. This has got to be the dumbest thing ever. It's one thing to have a reputation score on eBay (which I use) because that is based on how you handle a transaction. But to have a FT reputation score based on your opinion on a particular subject is ridiculous. Basically this means if I disagree with someone or post an opinion in OMNI or United that others don't like - I get dinged?

So now you're not graded on whether or not you're using logic in a post, but your "reputation" is based on whether or not people like your opinion? Anyway...
