Why not bring back rep points in the GFX section?

[Votkrath]

Hello,

I know this has been brought up before and I know you removed it because of people getting insanely amount of rep points for "just" making sigs to people and gets to contributor relatively soon.

To me this is very harsh to the creative people on this forum. All people can't just randomly came up with a very good guide that hasn't been posted yet or exploits that are new and that people have use of and so on...

To me it's not "to easy" to get the contributor, elite or any other rank with making the rep in the GFX section since you probably get 1 or 2 rep points for every sig or GFX you make for someone, maybe more if it's an old and highly-ranked member.

I mean, these days people just post 1 guide and if it's a very successfull one you can get to contributor or even higher. No offense to you people, you have written a great guide so be proud. But even if people put a lot of effort into a single guide, what have the people done that makes tons and tons of sigs and avatars to the community?

So let's say you get 1-2 rep which means you can get to contributor with about 40-80 sigs which to me is enough when you usually get 1 rep point so it's usually closer to 80 than 40. Of course, you can rep some other thread of course but if it's spotted, it will be removed.

I'm not saying you SHOULD bring it back, but maybe you could at least consider it?

Thanks,
Divishona

Gaining rep for showing off an image? That's not contributing imo.

Yes it isnt but he meant gaining rep for making sigs.
That is contributing.

But if you open a service and spend your time making an image for someone to their liking, maybe it deserves a reward (whether it be an online reward or not xD).

The section also has nothing to do with what this site is about, it's just an optional section to keep those who like that stuff happy.

I closed it just because of this line "I know this has been brought up before ...."
