That isn't fair.

Why is it fair that someone whose been here 10 years has the same as someone that's been here one year?

I'm sorry but i'm not reading 20 pages worth of feedback to see if anything similar has been suggested/said.. is there a way to incorporate both? Rep won from winning things and such, likes for posting around the forum.

Not even close to being as impossible as it is to get quickly from 1 to 2400 without anyone abusing the system :P right now it would potentially only take 350 reps for someone to have the same amount as me

That's limiting, and those two add up to:

Congratulations?

if it is limited and moderated, it's just the rep system as we have it except nuking rep power, which then makes it literally impossible for anyone to get anywhere near the higher levels

It's nothing like rep. Rep isn't one click, rep doesn't publicly display your name as liking or disliking the post. There's plenty of other options depending on the system used (such as having 'fun', 'spelling', etc) so it's more than just you like this or don't, etc.

It's not meant to make someone who comes on tomorrow to be able to over take you? If you convert your rep to likes (would depend on majority wanting to do it, rather than starting fresh), you'd have 2441 likes.

You'd have no 'power' higher than anyone else, so sure you may have more likes than someone who joins tomorrow (and obviously should do, everyone whos been here for years should do) but your 'power' would be the same as theirs.

I assume your point for unfairness is the fact that it would take a while to get 2400 likes? It's even more so to get 104 rep power.

It's all in the post.

Might as well get tokens as rep would be even more meaningless

tokens should be given anyway but that system failed

but yes i disagree with having both on, it just makes one useless

Perfectly fair if they make enough good contributions to deserve it, which is why I am insisting on transferring rep COUNT.

350 from you... :P Which, allowing for the 7 day limit would take... 6.7 years :P

Aye. To me, tokens was meant to be an outright replacement so people could save up for good prizes rather than consistently getting little bits of furni. Now you can't even get credits.

No it isn't. Simple maths. And it is like rep if it's a totalled up score of how many times someone has liked your post - which is why it would need moderation and limiting, just like rep. The only way for that to not be necessary is if a total score isn't tallied, which then amounts to completely removing everything we currently have. It simply makes no sense

As opposed to the nearly 9 years it's taken to get 2400 with an active forum
