True :P, I wonder what the current criteria is for a member to be named 'active'. But even so, I'm sure there will be people on the forum who won't know this poll is even here if they don't check out the Feedback thread :P.Quote:

If it's that trivial then it's a pointless system, so thanks for your support in stating that a like system is utterly uselessQuote:

I'm still waiting to hear even one benefit of switching to a like systemQuote:

People only seem to want a like system because other websites they use have them?
On displaying names... don't do it -- especially for -reps. Most people like the privacy of repping and the fact that they can do it without judgement from the rest of the community. don't display -reps under a post either, it'll just encourage bandwagoning (as the +rep display proves) and discourage those with unpopular opinions from posting in future.
LEAVE EVERYTHING AS IT IS, THOSE WITH LOW REP POINTS MUST STRIVE TO BE EXCELLENT AND MAKE INTERESTING, FUNNY AND INSIGHTFUL POSTS TO CLIMB THE REP LADDER. INFLATION WILL SORT ITSELF OUT.
Then surely seeing the green counter on posts that have received a +rep would make loads of people join in and +rep the same post?Quote:

By reforming the current rep system slightly to resemble more of a like system, it means we have a more modern system but also a fairer system (for newer users). As for abusing the system, surely people with high rep powers could also abuse their high rep and negative rep peoples posts - and if they did it to posts where someone broke the forum rules, it wouldn't be against the rules regarding reputation. And so the benefits are:Quote:

get rid of both
So people consistently decide against a change and that's a reason to want change lol okQuote:

An indicator for -rep has been suggested time and time again yet for some reason has always been naysayed by upper management, it could be added on to the current system without changing all the rest though.
Can someone explain to me how a like system would get used more than a rep system when over half the people want a rep system to stay in the first place?
I remember that being the exact argument when the +rep 'counter' was added in the first place. IMO if we have one for +rep then we should have one for -rep tooQuote:
