what if anything can be done from our end

why do the wizards need to communicate something they do with the site they created, i think the whole problems creating bs around this is BS - let the wizards do there job, im sure they theirselfs know best what they gotta do with the site and what they are doing with this site.
i know its community driven, but because wizards make a mistake, notihng else then discussion lately, and on this topic about what, about people losing reputation?? in my personal opinion my reputation i dont care about whether i got alot of i dont have things at all, the point of a community is how you bring yourself to the other community members, if you keep good contact with other members upload good stuff, then who cares about reputation people know you evantually and they will know you are good people.
and no its not even necesarely for new people who join this site to be like he has rep so he is very good people, it does not matter about that, dont we have the comment system, and thumbs up/down for uploads ? people can see by reading comments and the thumbs up/down already what kinda person the uploader is, whether he is fake or good.
reputation points, if they come back, then everybody is happy again, i just dont get it, that so much trouble is starting only because people lost reputation, and i've never ever since im on this site and thats now for nearly a year, seen wizards communicate about upcoming updates, ok sometimes they gave small previews, but they never explained detailed about it, atleast from what i've seen (correct me if im wrong) then why all of sudden it is such a big deal that wizards dont communicate? let them do their job, cause lets be honest everything they did so far, is a great addition to the community, then why would because of some silly rep points all of a sudden this changing??
and dont get me wrong, i know some people like the rep system, i do myself aswell, but i just dont get it why people are making such problem of some rep lose, which is easy to get back (or maybe even we will get it back evantually) but in the meanwhile have fun instead stupid discussion some members have about it, (not saying all do) (but some are really saying BS Things)
i hope this all made sense (i tried my best to explain it the way i see it)

Great!

well said.....my opinion is the same

I agree with you wrong user link mate. I liked the rep too, but I'm not that fussed. I lost 5k, but there are folk who have lost a lot more. Rep is no big deal, once your here for a couple of weeks, you know who too trust, who will give good advice and who takes the p**s(asbo).
Its getting a bit boring now.

Its a good site, agreed. But I want my rep back. I liked my rep.

look screw the rep points. i want the censorship of posts to be stopped. i mean come on KAT, we are illegally downloading files which is ok, but as soon as someone swears they get a upper telling them to censor themselves, if thats not an oxymoron i dont know what is, are we not all grownups on here..

Yawn......are we still harping on about the rep points. I lost points too but still love this site. Nicely putwrong user link.
