    I've wanted a like system for yonks so I'm glad you made this thread. The rep system is nothing but a pain in the backside for Forum Management and it's actually become a lot worse than it used to be. The -rep reports are constant and instead of people just accepting Forum Managements decision they decide to try and argue it out so they can have it removed.

    If we were to bring in a like system to the forum then we could suspend the rep feature so that rep could no longer be issued. This would allow those who have become attached to their rep power to keep it displayed permanently.

    But I don't think the system will change anyway. People are too stuck in their ways to accept such a change.

    Ideally I would like the current system (anonymous addition to counter on a post) that counts each person equally as a unit of 1 and the rep amount displayed would have no actual power.

    Or you could, yknow, stop allowing people to report rep.

    Interestingly, I voted exactly the same this time as I did last time (reduce rep powers) - who'd have thought? :L

    Is it possible to find out exactly how many +Rep's a person has got? Could they then be directly converted to likes (if a user makes a request) - ie. 1 +Rep =/= 1 like (no matter how many points).

    I would be happy with likes, just - personally - I don't think you should completely eradicate peoples 'credit' for potentially the past 11 years worth of posts (god, that is scary).

    I do think a like system would be used more - not sure why, I guess just due to experience on other forums.

    EDIT: You can tell I read the poll options properly xox

    If it's come to such a point it's causing such an issue then perhaps it's time to force a change.

    For example with rep inflation it was an issue multiple times and they were then forced with the rep scaling, I believe a poll was done and something like 80% were against it, but within a few weeks all was forgotten.

    So, you'd display the amount of times you'd been repped instead of the power? (as you wouldn't show points, as that's dependent on rep power)

    So for example if you +rep me 80 times and -rep me 5, 75 would be shown?

    Default Reputation vs Like/Thanks system?

    Lol just skimmed through that thread and Scott made a post that said habbox will be dead long before anyone reaches 100 rep power. I think that's telling of how highly repped users are able to keep an exponentially increase their monopoly and new users are left in the cold when it comes to having any visible sway on opinion through their meagre rep powers.

    Exactly, if General Management didn't reset the scores on the arcade for exactly the same reason then why is it suddenly ok to do the same for the rep system?

    I'm sure forum management would love to do that, but you haven't considered the effect that doing that would actually have. It would just allow people to abuse the system willy-nilly which would make the system even worse than it already is.

    And @scottish; I can't really force the change. If I did then I imagine people would be all over me like a pack of wolves.
