Is forum reputation important to you?

[buttons]

yh i think it makes more sense to show how much times your posts have been liked rather than how much times ur post has been liked by someone of a high rep power ;s tht way everyone would be equal n not using their rep to target ppl by -repping them or getting friends with high power to do it lol.

plus u can like any post so don't have to wait 7 days or w,e to do it. only probs is ppl might 'like' only their friends posts as revenge for getting rid of rep system and also u might want to like someone's post but anonymously? either way, how often is rep system even used ATM n how quickly will like system get boring..

or is it poss to keep rep points but show much times uve been repped? i think sumone already suggested tht but tht way everyone keeps rep power n points but also show how much times posts have been liked n w.e..

the only way i'd be happy with rep going is if you could translate it, so say I have 200 different +reps, I'd get 200 likes added onto my account (despite the fact i've got way more points), rather than starting from 0 again.

If people really wanted it we could try it along side the rep system for a while to see how it goes.

I'd be happy with that! Would love to see a dislike system too

Never really understood it myself, so it's not that important to me.

Having two systems just seems stupid - one or the other is the only logical way.

I still think the idea of simply translating each +rep people already have in to one like is the only fair way this system can change. It doesn't seem fair on people with loads of rep to start them at 0 again, but having both systems will simply make one of the two redundant (most likely the rep system, as it is so much faster to click like)

What would be the point in rep power then?

The only way that would make sense is it it is changed into a like system where it says the amount of times you have been repped

idk you may have misunderstood my suggestion. reputation/like are one in the same in my mind, just different names. right now if you like a post, you rep it.

agree with this

they are the same thing, what is the point in having 2 features that serve the same purpose?

can i ask why you want a dislike system? what purpose do you tihnk it would serve aside from perpetuating negativity?

The idea being to trial the like system and see which people prefer. I wasn't suggesting having both systems in place permanently.

to properly trial something you need to trial its final form. if it's trialled alongside reputation then it won't get the same response as it would if it was trialled alone.

If that was a problem then rep could easily be disabled for the duration of the trial.
