We need a Thanks Button.

[Ixel]

Hey, I have an idea. We could get a thanks button, that allows us to show appreciation for useful posts. This could provide feedback to the user on what the community thinks etc.

Thanks,
Ixel

This is not necessary as it already exists.

By clicking this button 'http://www.habboxforum.com/images/buttons/reputation.gif' on a users post you can add a comment and increase their reputation.

Do you mean like on Digg comments when you can like + or - a post?
If so I like it. :)

That's just pointless and annoying, we have reputation to tell if you liked or disliked a post, we don't need some extra buttons to do that job.

Plus you're storing data for EACH post in the database, on how many votes each post has.

Habbox Forum is a very popular forum, storing that data would:

#1 increase the overhead when actually posting.
#2 increase the backup size of the database and the size.

Which those two things, would slow the forum down a significant amount depending on how much it was actually used.

Think of the "edit slowness" a couple of months ago x 3.

yeah

you can either

'approve' or 'dissapprove' a post

just click the one you wish, and you have the option to write a message and/or write your name.

However, people who are subscribed to VIP can view who has given them reputation.

Now that's just even more stupid.

Now you're wanting to write a message and/or write your name.

Now this is a forum, we can quote posts... we don't need to write our message and our name in little "thanks" things.

Can't you just quote someone, or send them a private message, or even better.. leave them a reputation. You can even put a little message!

Or just quote them like I said.. here's how it works..

Who would have thought we would have something this amazing on a forum..

I was telling him how the reputation system works :S

But you didn't say one word about the reputation system, you was quoting the post about a "digg like system"....

[BeanEgg]

I know what you mean, however in my opinion I think this would be quite annoying. (I've seen it used in the past on other forums)

Sorry for any confusion :S

[Dentafrice]

Yeah, but you should have mentioned you were talking about the reputation system at first, because the last part of your post is just out there.. and doesn't explain anything.

He made a simple mistake, give up and move on.

I personally think we should replace the Reputation system with the Thanks system. The negative reputation system is completely pointless, it's either abused or used to initiate arguments. If someone -reps you for breaking the rules it's like taking it into their own hands, the Moderator's are there to manage the rules and 'Punish' people so the negative reputation system is stupid in that essence. More and more it's just being abused and given out when people disagree with you or you're ever so slightly not politically correct. It serves no real purpose, frankly anyone who -reps me doesn't have the balls to PM me and then I'd argue my point to them, instead they feel they need to send me an anonymous message which is just annoying and won't change the way I post, I will continue to post what I think no matter whether people -rep me or not.

Once again, negative reputation serves no point at all and tbh I feel I've hardly ever deserved negative reputation whenever I receive it. It is possible to disable negative reputation so I'd appreciate it if it was looked into or we look into a 'Thanks' system.

I completely agree, the rep system is pointless at times. People -rep you for silly reasons and the guy who made this thread has a point.

That is giving rep so its like you idea but noone else can see it apart from the user you give it to.

[nvrspk4]

This is essentially the reputation system :)

[BOBBAH]

[Samishlol]

Not needed personally.

[leah]

Like Yoshi and Nvr said, this is exactly the same as the rep system without gaining rep - it would be pointless.

because rep is so point-full... :rolleyes:

It gives users a chance to comment other users posts, and either reward them or punish them based on the content of their posts. So yes, it does have a point.
