is revenge rep allowed

I think we should move to a like system, way better than rep.

That would be much better! Doesn't look like its wanted though.

I'd be in favour of the like system, and then limiting the reputation system in a way that could keep others happy that have spend years gathering their precious points...

Yeah I think a like system would be good, but not if that bar at the bottom shows below every post . I do think it could work quite well, though, I've seen it on other forums where it seems to work .

The only reason I see for not wanting it, is just the fact that some of us have quite a lot of rep and/or rep power and wouldn't want to just see it completely removed .

Why don't we just remove the ability to -rep :S

People are saying they want a like/thank you system which is essentially +reps (With the exception you see +1 instead of "Scottish liked this post" and can actually add a useful comment), removes the need to think of somehow to compensate the people with rep.

Why does -rep need to be removed? The only person so far in this thread that dislikes the -rep system is Chris and that's because it's part of his job. Everyone else doesn't have a problem with reputation, whilst at the same time would like a 'like' system. I think a like system would be good, but reputation essentially does that already.

Which is my point, people are posting that they want a like system, this allows users to say i like this post but not I dislike this post, so removing -rep creates this system as you can only +rep for 'like' and nothing for dislike.

As people have said there should be a thank you or liking/disliking system that would replace the reputation system.

With a like system you just click a button and done, you've liked the post. With the rep system, you have a limit to how much rep you can give, and you have to give an explanation for your rep. Obviously that could be changed though, I guess. But then comes back the problem of what happens with people who have built up a good reputation over several years.

Maybe, idk if this is easy on vBulletin or not, you could have a like system for posts and threads, and keep the rep system on people's profiles - like it is in MyBB.

You don't need to add a comment for your rep, you can simply +rep someone and that's it, it also allows someone to tell someone why they're giving the +rep rather than a simple I like this post.

Then rep would be pointless, people who built up rep over the years will have nothing to show for it and no ability with it (yes they may have a number in their postbit, but can't use this for anything)

I'd be all for disabling -reps, but i'd prefer to keep +reps rather than a like system.
