Too hard to become established on the forum?

The Reputation System is only a blithering mess because someone thought it wise to give out rep points to donators/VIPs, and it didn't help that MAD over-ruled the decision by the Habbox Council when a wise choice of change was put forward to change the reputation system to make it simpler and easier for everyone, including new members.

Ideally, you could just change the rep system to only include years - 1 year = 1 rep power, but of course make it easier for newer members, by giving them an easier chance to get 1 rep power in a matter of months. It would stop this whole pointless posting and forum games discussion, then you just find a solution to how to "show off" how much rep points you've gathered. The Rep System isn't one of vBulletins smart ideas to be fair

Regarding rep power:

The powers are so low on this forum meaning it's incredibly hard to go up a level. I think it used to be alot more at one point, but it went down.

I like the idea of bigger rep powers, one forum i visit has people with rep powers in the thousands, and others with just 1. It takes 1-2k to get the power up by one, so it isn't easy, but it's more fun.

I changed amount of rep points needed to 400, too (in my post, not properly on the forum... again I don't have the necessary permissions). 20 is definitely better, maybe even 15. I mean people don't even rep that often...

I don't think 30 is too high at all. 50, granted, is stupidly high. It was 20 last time, and 20 I think too low. 15 is definitely pushing it too far I think.

Super-high rep powers wouldn't be practical on a forum like this though because as soon as you make an enemy (which happens all the time, and people gang up on people etc), you'd be ****** lol. I imagine that's why everyone's rep was halved a while back.

Can it not be date/time configured? Say for the people who rarely rep, you can next rep said member in a few weeks? Seems better than the current system, which is unfair while a time configured system won't be.

No, people were repping each other within secret circles, they could get to higher rep powers within a matter of hours.

Okay maybe not 15 then, but I think 20 / 25 is adequate. 30 is just a bit too high I believe, because I don't think people give reputation enough and having it at like 30 just puts people off even bothering.

No, it would be practical long as it was moderated propaly

Not really. Guarantee I could go through your posts and find plenty I could -rep fairly. Could do with anyone. If people's rep powers are like 1000 that would just be a nightmare.

Super long rep points and super short ones make no difference really, the only difference is number, the power isn't any different I can't think of the right word, but if we added a 0 onto the end of the system, that's the answer, everyone will still have an easier (or hard time) with the rep system, it's just more specific (151 instead of 15) for example.
