edit: as for the publically showing who's repped, some people +rep privately as they could agree with a post that goes against the 'popular' view and would probably feel uncomfortable at their name being stuck on a post they agree with but too intimidated to show public approval of (which might mean they rep less, which is what youre trying to combat)

There is that yes. Perhaps just the total reps it's received.

Yes I always thought rep was more of a personal thing, although I think displaying rep amounts would be a better thing because there's currently only one way of seeing who has the most rep and that's simply by the member list.

Perhaps if we introduced rep awards and the rep for donator ideas mentioned in the other thread it would encourage use of the reputation systsem?

and once u get to all the green blocks, then it doesnt show them in order properly so even that doesnt work great.

Awards aren't visible enough to actually mean much imo but the rep for donator is a good idea. Would it really encourage more usage of the rep system or more people trying to win it through various comps and events like habbox top model etc? If it doesn't encourage use of the rep system and people still rep with the 'only very important/funny/whatever criteria they have' posts deserve their rep, it'd probably be easier to get rep through the latter method, therefore not making any difference whatsoever.

Secondly, I have to agree with buttons. Why is this an issue in the first place? Lack of posts, yes. Lack of threads, yes. Lack of people repping? I don't think it's that much of a big deal tbh!

If more people gave reputation for posts people would be more inclined to post, well, that's the way it was when I was a newb, you'd try and post good posts looking for +rep and people were very generous with rep back then.

Aha i remember that. Like i remember seeing someone post like a typo in the habbo navigator and everyone was like "lol nice find +rep" and i was like OMG at all the rep he's gettin ,and tried to find typos and bugs so i could post it and get loads of rep

I quite agree with this and I really think people should be repping for the things you say Lost_Addict, not enough people use the reputation system anymore and it'd be great if they did.

Joshuars quote below may solve this.

With a like system at least it will be a more public sign of approval, rather than the "closed door" reputation system. Maybe publicly show who has repped the post (dunno if this can be done).

If the reputation given or taken for a post was shown with that post the reputation may then be used as a way of "liking" a post. This would not only bring the reputation system back to life but also implement a system were users can like/dislike a post.

[Alkaz]

This has been brought up before and was generally said no to. In my eyes we should just encourage use of the reputation system more.

Agree'd. People will end up just liking something instead of commenting.

I don't think many people use the rep system anymore cuz everytime I try rep someone it says "can't rep u already have" and its like what the hell that mightve been last year but COME ON.

thats my one big ass peeve with hxf rep system.

Absolutely fantastic contribution to the thread Pyroka. Now don't get too excited but I have made a decision to add to your reputation. Well done son, you deserved it.

Wait a sec repped you 4 years ago......

You get the point, I agree the rep system really needs a change. I remember discussing it years ago on many occasions but for some unknown reason nothing ever happens.
