Is forum reputation important to you?

[e5]

It's nice to have reputation as something earnt, I agree. Winning through comps is technically earnt, but i've always seen reputation as a feature on this forum as someone who posts decent quality posts and has earnt reputation that way. However, recently, reputation is giving out pointlessly more and more (+reps that is) and for competitons meaning you can't always really tell if someone is a decent poster or a good member of the community.

Do you look at someone with a high rep power and instantly 'respect' them more because of it? Do you look at them as more a valued member of the forum? (Again general question)

I believe earning rep should be more favoured than winning it. I like having a larger rep power though as when someone does earn that rep they don't just get 1 point or so. I rarely -rep unless it's something that I personally don't agree with or whatever.

So do you think rep should always be earnt? You don't see it as something that just makes you look 'cooler' on the forum to have a higher rep power?

This is a general question to everyone btw

Should be earned rather than be won. I consider users with a higher rep to be the more respectful users.

73?! I'm sure your rep power wasn't that high a few weeks back

Yes I do, when I originally began at Habbox I'd look up more to people such as Catzsy, FlyingJesus, GoldenMerc etc. more than those who had 1 rep power/had just joined, not only that, but I think the latter two's post count also establish respect for them as they wouldn't have that much without quality posts.

Can't tell is serious or not:/

Everything about Habbox is serious... it's life.

Yeah important to an extent though.

I don't think I ever look at a users rep power & I don't think theres much correlation between respect and reputation points

for example flyingjesus has 73

but he's a pleb & no one likes him

I only +rep so a person feels special and warm inside for their good post/comment and so they know theres someone out there who agrees with them/approves of their post
I've never -repped anyone because I'm a lover

[FlyingJesus]

It's true none of these nobodies like me, got most of my 24k rep long before the influx of complete non-identities to the forum so guess in my case it shows the history of the forum rather than current mood

:rolleyes:





My view is, is that reputation is important and shows is something earnt. I mean, it's not easy to get a high reputation power. Someone people get high rep from having a fair few friends or "Klan" *cough* on the forum and people get it for good posts/posts that people agree with. I must admit, I do look at someones reputation and often judge them on that in some aspects. Like obviously, looking at someone like Okeanos' negative rep blocks, you wouldn't respect him or take him seriously, but if you see someone with 20+ rep power, you're more likely to take them seriously and have a good debate/discussion with them as they're reputation power shows they can post decent posts.

I like the highish number I have but would rather it be removed and a like system be used.

[lawrawrrr]

Yeah, for the same reason as Sam, I earnt it!
