Considering add a rep leaderboard

The reason why I removed the reputation leaderboard from the members page is because I didn't want users to care too strongly about the reputation system. The point of the system is just to roughly gauge if a user's interactions on the site are positive or negative, so I didn't want it to be a thing people are wanting to repfarm/artificially increase over time like it is on other sites.

I'm not outright rejecting the suggestion, it'd remain open so I can see other people's opinions about it, but I currently don't have plans on re-adding it back.

I believe it's a fun thing to see, but yeah it would probably cause more harm than needed.

I like seeing leaderboards just because it's cool to see which user has the most of something, it also gives you something to work towards - which might be an issue if a user decides to use less wanted means to work toward that said goal.

If i was you, I'd have it added for now, and if too many people bring it up (aka. making threads on having the most rep or repfarming) only then would i consider to remove it.
