Reputation vs Like/Thanks system?

[scottish]

Same point goes for rep. With rep you can leave a comment as well so arguably even more so with rep?

If it's not limited then it would take what 20 minutes of someone's time to go through someone else's entire post history and like them all, turning it into a completely pointless system that means nothing other than "I have a friend". The opposite could also be done with extreme ease, and if people one member of management had such an issue with displaying minus reps on posts because it would look negative, imagine what a count of -15,000 would look like if it is limited and moderated, it's just the rep system as we have it except nuking rep power, which then makes it literally impossible for anyone to get anywhere near the higher levels

Still waiting to hear any actual response to the fact that switching the system would either make it open to huge amounts of very easy abuse or else increase the supposed "unfairness"

Nope since name is only displayed privately so contribution is not seen and people have to work harder to join in

Cool, look forward to it.

Well now that u say that I feel that displaying the names of people who like posts could be a way to transition from lurking to posting. But ultimately it causes more problems like targeting and fear of liking in case of backlash

because you answered yourself in your post.

1) if its obviously abused, admin can remove it
2) if its abused loads by dif ppl, add a limit
3) what unfairness is that?

That's moderation

2) if its abused loads by dif ppl, add a limit

That's limiting, and those two add up to:

It's all in the post.

It seems literally impossible for anyone to ever get near your rep power.. or even mine, to be honest. As whilst another user may grow quickly (let's say ten a year), that still means five years of this forum going at its current rate - or 11 years to get to yours..

That isn't fair.
