The reputation has slowly become redundant. With the majority of members having maxed green bars, and a few people with almost maxed red bars. The system while worked well for a while has slowly become victim to people just using it to slate users who do something wrong but even worse use it to give negative rep. to peoples opinions that they don't agree with.
So your choices are from this poll and discussion thread is;
We keep the reputation system and hope that in the near future the extended reputation bars will be complete and out of beta stage and look decent.
-or-
We can move to the Thanks System which has no annoymous comments or makes a user look unwanted with red bars under their name. The hack is at this link if you wish to read through some of it's features:
[AJAX] Post Thank You Hack - vBulletin.org Forum
Don't get this hack confused with the thanks system we have in the latest news section because this hack does the whole forum, every post can be thanked if it's been deemed helpful by others. It shows a simple text with how many thanks you have had.
Example: Thanked 3,405 times
I prefer this system, just because of the fact it can't really ever go wrong or become pointless as people will always be thanked for a good post. It will also help prevent people from posting "Thanks for link" for pages because they can just click the Thanks button.
So...get voting
