Too hard to become established on the forum?

I think that would be a better way of managing it, however I'm not really sure if it's possible.

But we're looking at it how the current system is. People stopped using the reputation system as much when the new limits were enforced, so who's to say how many people will start using it more often if the limits are reduced. I would be able to handle 25 I guess, but we have to remember what's practical and best for a well functioning system.

Yeah and I imagine Brandon would need an extra pair of hands

I know this is off topic but just quickly wanted to mention it.

Its so nice to see ALL levels and areas of management, staff and normal members voicing their own opinion on something for once rather than all just copying what another higher figure has said! This is how it should be!

I think 15 is to low, 20 kinda getting there. 25 = could be ideal but if anything 30 is good enough. Anything above 30 is just getting to close to the original 50 mark.

I would go for 20 max.

And not repping members who make useful suggestions just because they're Bronze members could be part of what's wrong with the forum. 'too hard to become established' is a major problem for keeping forums alive, and though I realise you need to work out your rep issues, I do hope you're going to look at the other issues too.
