Reputation vs Like/Thanks system?

[Richie]

Have you missed the multiple paragraphs by @dbgtz; and @FlyingJesus; or something?

I really wish there was an option for mobiles that displayed polls and all of the postbit it's really annoying not being able to see half the stuff

Is 886 high am I cool

I know the feel pal

Firstly, 29 people have voted.. 182 people have signed in over the past 24 hours.

Which is one reason that community polls are a bad way of making decisions, especially big ones still remains true that the proposed changes have huge flaws which haven't been addressed properly though, and that's the bigger issue than the numbers at the top of the page

I don't own a computer I've given it up! The screen cracked

I've logged onto mobile site as locked view site and am now viewing in the superior no habbo dark version although it's clunky as hell but I shall vote in the poll now

i like the rep count now is there any need for rep power damn I have 81 notifications

I would personally remove rep power now and relegate it to just the profile page, rep power is primarily a function of rep points nowadays and now that we have rep bars which display those properly the purpose of rep power is severely reduced.

That happens when you're part of a 'rep crew' in previous years, reppin' one another repeatedly to boost rep power :-)

Okay so I voted the second option but notice I'm the only one to do so. I guess I misunderstood the phrasing but I don't want to reduce power, I want to remove it entirely and mould the current system into one akin to likes with less of the drawbacks of introducing an entirel new system

I can't see the huge flaws? But yeah, it would probably be best to have an official poll with two options (like vs rep) with a link to the advantages of both - although I think a like system would have few complaints IF rep count is transferred.

- The history issue is not existent - rep count is not removed, and that is the only true representation.

What were the other issues, and I'll check those too

idk I'm all for polls but can see the massive flaw in polls..

something major that's going to have an impact on the forum deserves discussion but it's effecting the forum managements ability to do their job (because they're constantly having to deal with pointless rep etc reports) then something obviously needs done, whether that's disable rep or remove the system and replace with a like system it's up to wispur.

I wouldn't really like a like system.

If the forum were to switch to a rep system, then you should just start a fresh. No point converting total reps into likes, because they're measuring different things. We've all got around ~1000 rep over the years where you were limited on how much you could rep - with a like system, all you need to do is spam 'Like' on everyones posts and everyone shoots up. So if we do switch, it's best to reset it all imo.
