[SUGGESTION] Different reputation system?

[StefanWolves]

Rite, I like the current reputation system, but I find it a bit harsh and useless for people who have only a very small amount of reputation, cause if someone with 10+ rep -reps them, they're screwed. If someone with small rep tries to -rep someone with a bigger reputation count, then it doesn't effect them at all, I don't know about you lot but that seems a tad unfair.

Many forums I go on use this form of 'reputation' system, but instead they use the 'Thanks' system, like this (ignore the post):



On the forums I use this is really good, it's good for all members, and isn't bias towards newer members of the forum. This also gives people good reputation, because if they're helpful, polite, and what not, they will have a good 'Thanks' count, like so:



Just a suggestion, I like the current rep system, but it's a little bit flawed for newer members, IMO.

EDIT: If it is possible to implement this in specific forums (instead of the whole forum), e.g. Technology, Sports, and what not, then I think it would be a big improvement, on the current system.

Nope, it's not complicated enough

Shouldn't the motto be, "keep it clean and simple" ?

Or were you being sarcastic?

I'd like the thanks system. It's nice and simple and doesn't rank people or make negative rep an issue.

I like that idea, it would be more fair for newer users, but not for older members with considerable rep counts. Unless they were combined?

No (Sarcasticly)

I like the system we have now, its fair and it almosts keeps some people behaived and I think it's good, and it doesnt need to change.

[StefanWolves]

I like both systems, maybe both could be implemented, but the 'thanks' system only on specific forums.

[Alkaz]

The thanks system would be unfair it its only implemented on certain forums as not everyone vists every single forum and posts in them to receive thanks.

That's why you would only see the "thanks" column (by your avatar) when you visit the forum that allows the ''thanks'' system.
