Reputation vs Like/Thanks system?

[Chris]

now reset every rep given to 1 power and remove the rep power bar and remove the ability to increase rep power.

sorted

So basically just install a like system plugin? Lol

Is your rep fixed at 50 as admin?

128 rep count, 50 rep power? Seems to be way off :L

That tends to happen when someone deletes your account.

UserCP shows points, there is no count of the amount of times you've been repped.
That is still "a total" as you said you wanted, and the system still knows the number of reps you've received too as is clear from it being able to log each and every one of them as it does.
It doesn't show a total amount, it only shows you a total inclusive of the hugely inflated powers. And again that would require core files to be modified to even attempt to get something shown.

Try again

Go for it.

I would prefer the like system I think to just make it easier, yes it doesn't take much effort to rep, but it is even easier to just click 'like'. I think I'd use it more liberally.

Ahh, I get it :L Was wondering how you only got 128 +Reps but there we go

and it did require stuff to be edited? Rep count isn't something that comes built into vBulletin. It's something Chippie manually added afaik.

your turn.

tbf it wasn't core files. It was two lines of code as a plugin.

[AgnesIO]

So is it possible to transfer "Rep Count" to "Likes"? Then scrap bars, power and points.

fair enough

Yes there is, each tweet has a counter for amount of favourites/retweets and your profile has a count of favourites? Sure twitter doesn't say you've received x favourites in total' (although I'm sure an external party does) doesn't mean it's not a like system though.

I completely disagree, if I get favourited 3000 times I don't suddenly have a favourite power of 30

My point is the primary function is to put them in the favourites pile, not to act as a favourite system.

Yeah I mean back in the day, when graphics was hugely popular rep wasn't that common and comments were.

I think my point was those who repped tended to give some kind of explanation, those who posted generally gave generic comments or merely a rating. There was a period when me and a couple of others tried to keep a "must post constructively" rule because of this.
On the point of ripping though, -rep is a bit of a deterrent.

Argue that with the forum managers and GM's, Wispur posted suggesting otherwise.

OK

Care to show some extremists views?

People's definitions of extremist is different, but let me see if I can find any on the forum and I'll vm them in a bit. In a general sense, you could argue it with say feminism and LGBT rights back in the day. Even now, some people probably disagree with say, gay marriage, but would be too afraid to voice their opinion.

There's multiple points, equal voice being one this being another. We've quoted each other so many times idk what the original point in this part of the quote relates to.

Did a rep count just get added lmao

It was one part that was brought up in a previous thread regarding this, so I figured it deserved its place as obviously some do see it as confusing when they join.

Fair enough. I don't disagree that it might be to some, but as I said there will always be those who find something more confusing or offensive etc.
