I think this suggestion is dumb, so I rated your post dumb, does this make me a bully?
If you're really having issues with people harassing each other it needs to be brought up to the proper channels; people have been forum ban in the past for "abusing" the rep system.
There's also a difference between posting something in which people disagree with, and rate you dumb, or one person going out of their way to spam dumb your last 30 posts
Removing a system because a few people had their feelings hurt is kinda dumb, it's literally forum reputation, I mean @Sanchez Resident became a Director with like 8 forum warnings so in reality I don't think you should take it too seriously
