Hey, this is not something to argue about. The so called "repping stations" have been removed or closed precisely because of their intent and we ask that no new ones are created.
As to reducing rep power in threads, we try to do the same with most chat threads, we just can't see all of them all the time. Therefore, if you see one, feel free to DM Administrator so that he can make adjustments.
Again, we are planning some more changes in the reputation system but for now it will remain the way it is.
Thanks for your opinions. Unfortunately, there's no way to make everyone happy.
