Disable Rep in Freebie section please

Good idea, I have seen newbies reaching over 100 rep points in matter of days after giving away stuff when most of us with long time here are going slow with real deals, not fake reputation.

 

Good idea aaron - I don't suppose it would get around the problem completely because people could just hop to a previous post outside of freebies and leave rep. Would definitely be a step in the right direction.

 

Well, giving out reputation is always optional. Otherwise, it's not allowed. So I think there's no use in doing that. IMO

Unless there is a way to decrease the value of rep points on a forum, I don't think it should be touched.

 

No, I mean like only people with more than 500 rep points for example are allowed to give rep in a certain forum.

 

Hey I have think it twice and what I really will like is iTrader disabled... that is what makes annonying those deals... 100 iTrader for giving away things.

 

Arron !!!!

I 1000000000% agree with this as well,

I see the noobs have / are tring to beat the system with this now that we have taken away the itrader..

Good call arron!!!

 

I think iTrader is disabled for freebies already. I seem to remember a few sales threads got mixed up with freebies at the beginning and there was trouble with iTrader on those 'lost' threads.

 

I agree with Aaron but I think only experienced users should be able to rep. People are saying rep is mandatory just to get the item, and that shouldn't be the reason for giving out rep.

 

itrader is already disabled in that forum ever since it was up.

Did you read the first post?

This is about rep dude......not itrader.....

How about....did you read the thread title?..

Lmao..........

 

I'm referring to this post sundaybrew:

Nothing wrong with my reading, I assure you.
Maybe you should scuttle off and learn to read the entire thread.

 

Ooops sorry dude

Hey I wasn't the only one

Jpripper posted to......lol

Sorry .....

Oh yea ...next time use a [quote

So I know what you are talking about

 

Agreed, as soon as itrader was taken away, now some are requiring reputation!

 

Let's not point fingers here. lol...

Anyway, Perhaps rep just be diminished in that section but not completely taken away.

Yeah, that would definitely be nice but I guess a number of people who offers freebies just want to get reps. Once you remove that option, the number of listings would inevitably fall or people may find other ways to get rep like getting them to rep other post outside of the freebie section.

In the end, the 'buyer' in this case has the option to rep or not to rep.

 

Here is a pure example of rep fraud....
