Are we no longer able to +1 rep people or did the procedure change?

[Tension]

I think the rep thing is silly.  Because you can have a person who doesn't know their stuff, but posts a lot, and this creates the illusion of being reputable.  Then someone say who is a developer and posts once a while has little rep points.  It creates a forum where those with many rep points brag about their skills.  Those also can "shut down" a new member because they have been around for a while.  This is already common on Lemon 64.  Come on, we are all adults, we don't need rep points (this isn't Kindergarten).  I don't know about you, but I help without need for rewards, and the person getting the feedback should base  it on multiple opinions anyways.
It also creates a ONE WAY street, where the other side has nothing to say...  Not to mention that there could be retaliation or personal attacks because one prson does not like this user etc.
