A thought came to mind.

I'd like to suggest disabling reputation in the Flaming pit. I don't post there very often, and I've never gotten repped for anything I've said there; it just seems like a good idea. Post count doesn't rise in the Flaming pit, so reputation shouldn't change either.

By its nature, the flaming pit is home to inflamatory nonsense. That's what it was designed for I suppose. Some users probably get hurt feelings from what a total stranger said on the internet.

I have no idea how much work this would this would cost comp. So forgive me if I'm asking you to move mountains. It was just an idea, and much like my smelly flatulence, I believe my bad ideas should be shared with everyone.
