Edit: to answer OP's question - I'm rather ambivalent. Most users seem to be more concerned about reduced ability to whore out their rank than actual positive uses of this new system. Hopefully this will pass.
Thanks for your answer on my thread. Did you already answer the vote too?
I agree with you, there are many users who don't know the uses and potential of this system because they fear they wont rank up and disturb their earning on this forum. I wont be a hypocrite by telling I'm here not for the money, I do, but with this system, the forum will be a place full of people who work hard and good for getting money (at least if they re here for money).
I will make the infographic after I reach 100 votes, and will share some statistic and conclusion based on my thread, and will post it here and in theymos' merit thread.
