Reputation vs Like/Thanks system?

[James]

why are you so set on changing every single tiny little detail about the forum scottish? theres nothing wrong with reputation so just stop

[scottish]

so we are in agreement that the fairest system is users aren't penalized for their previous contributions but we still remain on an equal level by not allowing one person's like/rep to be more powerful than anothers?

so basically a like system?

I am in agreement with this.

Yes - we are saying a like system is fine, BUT only if old contributions are carrier forward (ie. the fourth poll option).

because people brought it up in a completely different topic and prompted me to post this, and obviously other members and staff don't agree.

That is the fourth system in the poll

so we've all voted different stuff in the polls but would all (from us posting) be happy to come to an agreement lol that's why polls suck

there's plenty wrong with it if you actually have a look at this thread, rather than making assumptions. many of us have argued throughout the years for change in the reputation system, not just scott.


the only reason i don't like the like system, although there's probably no alternative, is because sometimes people like the anonymity of giving rep. as in, only that member sees it, rather than the public.

Yes, so the 4th option.

A like system with all current reps carried over (i.e. 1 +rep = 1 like).

There are issues with reputation (which have been clearly listed in the first post and elsewhere in this thread). I'd rather see others give suggestions than let things just roll on forever if there is potentially a better system.

Yup, pretty much it

In regards to the latter bit of your post which I removed, I can see that point, but users may not be so scared for it to be shown if there is no 'dislike' button - as there would be not be a potential reprimand for liking.

That seems fair, as long as past reps/rep power isn't removed i'm not too bothered

I gained the almost exact same amount of rep points in 2014 to flyingjesus which I think was 8k it's in the 2014 stats thread

Seems to only be us older users that care about what system is used :/ yh I agree with buttons post were ever it is and I can't vote in poll cos tapatalk
