[Salopbaggie]

Firstly a huge welcome to all of our new posters and an emphatic statement that this post has nothing at all to do with you guys and please, please, please, do not let it stop you from posting, it is in no way meant towards you and it is purely an observation to existing members of this forum and an example of how free we feel to post what we think.

So that out of the way, I have to get off my chest, how disappointed I am that regular posters now think it is OK to give away rep points like smarties, you have managed in one thread to totally devalue any value rep points had, if any.

When you think we now have posters who have more rep points for one post than the likes of BBB, 4evaabagggie, worldclasalbion, Baggievicar and many more (yes, including myself) who have many thousands of posts between them.

Now I know this could and probably will by some, be viewed as sour grapes, but I think the point should be made, that rep points are supposed to be given for contributions, if they are to have any value at all.

Old time posters will already be aware that rep points have always been handed out far more freely to posters who are known to them, but this is in my opinion a step to far, and someone had to say something and I guess it has fell to me.

My apologies if anyone feels this is aimed at them personally, as it is not, it is just an observation of the situation as a whole
