You don't have to keep zapping people who post fake FRs. All you have to do is to reply to the thread and explain why and how the FR is a fake.
At the end of the day, what keeps this forum going is FRs and other positive contributions. This is the primary reason for having a forum. The reputation system comes a distant second. This new system is designed to reduce the use of the reputation system while encouraging positive contributions.
Members who have contributed positively will be encouraged to post more. Members who post crap will be discouraged from posting more crap.
Is this the perfect system?... of course it isn't. No system will meet all expectations and please all members. However, it is better than no system at all and I feel it is better than the previous system. Ultimately, time will tell.
