Ratings are the downfall to everything. We all know this. The people that say "my ratings are what makes my rep" are complete idiots. Let's go over the reasons:
- Most scams = People with REP or Alts with no Rep. People that believe building rep will make them seem trustworthy is completely wrong. People have scammed in all sorts of ways, little or big rep. The people that usually scam are high rep because on your post they think more ratings would mean more trust. The people that scam know this thought process and think "That's how I will scam"
- There isn't competition. The people with high ratings will be more trusted then people with low ratings because they think a system can tell them who is and isn't trust worthy. This kind of thinking needs to go away because I don't trust users high ratings or low. I go off of my own system that has worked in the past.
Point is. You all say ratings build rep, show you're trustworthy,etc. But you're dumb if you think that a number system that is abused every single day, can say if you can be trusted or if you will scam. No one knows that. Not even you.

~Side Note: I didn't add a poll because it takes 2 seconds for someone to come here who doesn't know anything or doesn't care, and hits the button everyone else does. IF you care, you will speak your reason and debate it.
