Nice? Whatever.
Anyways it's an announcement, if you read it you'll probably know why it's going to be disabled.
Main reason is because rep is spreading around commonly.
They try to make rep used less because it's meant to be earned rather than people just rep each other.
Hell I don't deserve any of the rep, people just give me rep because they're nice like you and others. I don't mind but I only have one or two worthy posts that deserves rep.
Then they're is another possibilty of the rep being resetted.
I don't mind either one, it just gets annoying.
