Eventhough it's hard to proof most people know he's a bit of a frustrated prick who likes to look down on the swinish multitude.
He's been calling out on it and he just replied something along the lines 'hey guys i'm just using the repsystem to ventilate my opinion and think it's a good system to regulate quality posting over the forum' which a lot of people swallowed because it's yahwe but really, most of us know this repsystem is one of these little gems in yahwe's lonely and podgy life to feel better about himself. Oh another thing, you'll be probably told not to speak about the repsystem, it might even get accompanied with new red blobs towards your direction because that's the environment they've created here. I'll advice you to find a more decent forum to spend your time on if you want anyway as this one have been corrupted by a small ivory tower clique in denial which is getting smaller and smaller (oh no wait that's not true, people just lose interest and things are getting old that's the way it goes)

While I won't debate Yahwe's qualities or lack of qualities as a human being/higher entity/whatever he is I will tell you there are good reasons for not allowing rep talk.
Rep talk is terrible to read. It's just personal squabbles over someone else's opinion of you. It's absolutely terrible to read and to be honest, you can resolve your differences over a pm rather than bringing an argument over something that is ultimately utterly trivial and pointless to discuss. If people want to talk about the nature of the rep system in general, I have no problem with it. In all honesty i'd rather have a load of quality posters than some ranking system. As the rep system just preserves the cliques you go on about.
Let me put it this way: I've not read one discussion regarding someone repping someone else that hasn't led to an outburst of profound pettiness and stupidity. To be honest I could do without the rep system, it would save me a lot of moderating.
