I think it should be easeir to get it. Newer members won't carry on using the forum if they know they have to try years just to get atleast rep power: 6 or something.

It would be time consuming, but so is many things in order to keep sites and forums running, and with it being an issue that keeps cropping up in discussion something has to be done about it. So im only prodding at suggestions as i do agree its very hard for new members to enter the reputation system, something that is scarily looked so highly at on the forum. And so i believe it's off putting for the newer people. In order to make changes to the system again whatever happens there's going to be what, a 50/50 positive and negative reaction in both opinions and actions.
It may just be something that has to be lived with if the requirements are reduced for some members to have massive counts, but who knows what will happen if it goes similar to before, like i said it's the only (reasonably) fair way (in my opinion) to stabilise it. If you have better ideas then please do say.

Well seeing as I got this reviewed and have posted my ideas already, which I think is better than wasting time by looking through every single comment for the last 3 years, 5 years in some cases. It has to be changed for new members but nothing major else we'll face the same issue as before. I have already posted what I think it should be altered too in the original thread I created based on this topic.

Why is everyone getting so bent out of shape over rep? It doesn't mean anything anyway, considering you could buy it not long ago. Just leave it as it is.

It's fine for you with your precious 7 rep power but people like me with just 3 have to suffer. Originally Posted by Caution

With the amount of high post counts on this forum, I'd suggest a higher post count limit of around 3k-4k for a rep power.
Scrapping it will just upset members and that's REALLY not needed at this time with the declining popularity of the forum.

But most people have low post counts, seeing as there are new members. Originally Posted by joshuar

We're focusing on new members, not the old ones. Habbox is in decline and we are looking towards the younger newer user base. Originally Posted by joshuar

I think it needs to change! What to though, I have no clue as reputation has never really interested me when I join a forum (although I have to admit that I do miss it when on invisionfree forums).
As for rep prizes in competitions (I think it was mentioned in here), we're going to be looking to do this.
