Thanks :D

np m8 :P

imo this "hiding rep point" setting only helps cheaters and scammers, don't understand why it exists.

How can someone cheat with that? :blink:

i'm not saying user who hides their reps are cheaters/scammers, but cheaters/scammers can hide their rep history to score more in giveaways for more cheating or trading (because reading hundreds of posts is far more time consuming than scanning through the rep point history, so few giveaway op will do it).

The setting helps cheaters/scammers far more than helping a user with a legit reason to do that, so i don't understand why it exists. :)

Why would you read hundreads of posts. Just read what treads user have open ;)

I think you're wrong some people have rep points that they got from giveaways or whatever but prefer to have them disabled so as not to be associated with trading.

I don't see how it helps scammers to disable it. People don't give out negative rep-points so it gives a pretty one sided view of their history. All they do is show if people have proved trustworthy in the past and trust me some of the people with the biggest reps have turned out to be the biggest scam artists of them all.

If anything rep-points help cheaters and scammers because they lull people having dealings with them into a false sense of security.
