I'm the toss pot who brought it back and part was certainly to attract some Newcastle supporters back along with many who like rep and tags.
TBH I fail to see a problem with either, I use neither, look at neither and would ask,"What sort of toss pot decides to go looking for something they don't like, something it takes effort to find just so they can complain about it"?
Now why was it brought back, well it goes like this.The forum develops and between us, me and Mick, we try to improve things, not an easy task because whatever we do to please one will upset another.
Because of problems we removed tags, rep and cross board threads along with chatbox, the easy option would be to just leave them dead, I don't like easy.
So, tags and rep came back but none are now anonymous so you can abuse but no longer hide, bad abuse will lead to bans and already has.
Chatbox is back but hidden as part of GC.
Cross board threads will hopefully come back but with safeguards to ensure they don't become the wums weapon to abuse.
Yours,

Well put Syd.
It's only a laugh at the end of the day.
I tried repping you but am in jail.
Billy, managed to rep you the other day too marra.
