The idea of the rep system is to make primary nicks valuable to the owner so he uses such nicks in a responsible manner. In the other forum, the rep system made nicks so valuable that they were being traded at premium prices. As I understand, this is still going on.
The comparison is not appropriate. In the "other" forum, a high point nick means you can get FL contact more easily. There is a tangible, material benefit involved.
In this forum, points and power are for pure ego. Nonetheless, I am dismayed that my power has been cut in half. Its like having half a testicle sawed off.
