Rep with VIP.

[Tintinnabulate]

I think it should be kept at 15. You earn reputation for your posts etc, not for just buying VIP.

I agree fully.
Rep shouldn't even come with VIP.

I'm afraid I have to pick 60, if we can just get some more rep into the system, more people will begin using rep again. If everyone has higher rep power's, it'll be easier to move up rep power's and then people might begin using the rep system again, the only way with the current system to get rep moving again is to put some more in the system. This would work.

I've never thought of it that way

More rep would make rep more worthwhile, i mean i HATE getting rep from 1 rep power coz it is pretty much useless...

It's not the rep powers that are stopping people from repping as alot of people still have quite high powers, it's the crappy 50 people rule that is .

That are bother affectintg it.

But you don't need to increase the amounts of rep in order for people to be involved in it again. When people realize that it's practically the same as it was (except lower numbers for, well, everyone) and they actually start repping people rather then saying "oh rep is pointless" or "I'd rep you but since those changes [a long time ago] it's useless so why bother".

Every little point counts and when people stop saying that it's useless and do something about it, that's when it will change.

As for the poll, I voted 15.

I disagree tbh. No one is gonna get rep now, as it is so haerd to get. People dont bother +repping. More rep, more people = better community - As people can thank each other for the post!

I fail to see how rep makes a better community, to be honest, while you could argue with me that rep didn't change anything (Gomme that is not an invitation) I believe it actually damaged the community.

Regardless, the existance of a "thriving" reputation system where people have ridiculous amounts of reputation does not affect the quality of the forum. And I do say thriving with the underlying assertion that I disagree with claims that we need to "invigorate" the rep system.

But that's neither here nor there. I think we'll keep rep limits the same (and for the most part judging by the poll about half agree.

In the way i meant better community, i meant it as, people feel more like giving each other their appreciation, which sadly gets taken away, with the rep!

Rep has long since ceased to function as a means of conveying appreication, yes you do get normal reputation that lets people say "thanks" but a large portion of the reputation system is tied up in rep that wasn't a "thank you."

I also don't think that the number attached to the "thank you" should really matter if its to appreciate others, therefore raising rep powers and rep in the system isn't necessary.

You're not saying much there against my point.. that's what I'm saying, people don't bother repping because it's 'so hard to get'. If people would stop saying that it's so hard to get and they actually bothered to rep, then it wouldn't be a problem. When the rep changes happened I had like 8 rep then got lowered to 2 or something. I haven't even done much and I'm at 7 rep now. I'm sure that if you make a really good post, someone will rep you. Continue to do so and the rep will keep coming

Also, if you're repping just to say thanks then the rep doesn't really matter, does it? You're just saying thanks!
