is revenge rep allowed

[Chippiewill]

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).

You admit in your wording that show and ability are not the same thing so adding a clause in brackets to the contrary does not make it not true. They'd still have their number and still have the green blobs.

A like system has many benefits:

- No limits on liking, this would mean most likely that they become entirely unmoderated to an extent (If someone starts spamming a single person's posts then it's more harassment anyway), this would save chris a lot of time and people won't have to moan about their opinions being moderated. This would also mean that it would become much more casual and if someone makes a bunch of awesome posts in a thread they'll be very visibly rewarded for it. At the same time, if someone makes an ass of themselves that'll also be visible. Sure, the rate limit could be disabled on rep, but it'd be more heavily abused for the ridiculous value it's attained.

- The like system is not limited to likes, it can be many things including like, dislike, thanks, hearts, helpfuls, awesomes, rainbows etc., the most commonly used system fully supports more than just liking.

- A like system would be used much more, it would be more prominent, visible. Because there's no rate limit people would be liked more often.

- A reset. It'd put everyone back onto a level playing field, less arguments about rep, everyone has the same voting power.

- Simpler. We don't have to put comments (Technically speaking rep doesn't either except it does or it's classed as pointless rep) on it and we sure as hell don't have to justify ourselves. We don't have to wait to rep people for doing cool stuff when they do either.

- disabling -reps gets rid of the moderated opinions
- creates same issue as we currently have with people pointlessly disliking it.
- doubt it'd be used a lot more, if someone needs help generally they will +rep people who help, 'like' removes the incentive for habboxforum members to play events unless 'likes' were going to be given out to event winners and also removes ability for it to be used in cases such as buying VIP, posting competitions, competitions in general, event weeks/special events (like HxSS, halloween week, etc)
- not a problem but obviously people on the forum for 8 years should get some advantage over those who have been on for a week/day/hour but yeah
- if the rep system got changed to remove -reps then it'd essentially be a like system, so obviously pointless +reps wouldn't be considered pointless then, and would allow the user to either give a comment or just simply +rep the post with no comment.

This is my only issue with the like system.

- doubt it'd be used a lot more

On other forums where they've had like systems instead they're used a heck of a lot more.

[dirrty]

can see it possibly being abused more than the rep system (as in people liking every post within a thread).

[David]

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

cant you find a better one that doesnt have a silly bar at the bottom of each liked post?

Its funny, 90% of the people who complain about negative "pointless rep" forget to report their positive -reps.
Also to people who are saying -repping people who you dislike is wrong, if that is wrong most of the reputation is also wrong, due to the fact most rep is from people +repping their friends... Works both ways

[wiktoria]

like system pls

YES I AGREE
but too many people would cry over losing their rep

[Empired]

If you're bothered by it, then -rep them back?

It doesn't personally bother me, I was just wondering

Then it would be pointless and therefore it falls under the pointless rep criteria

Ok thanks!! I could only find the rule about pointless +reps

This, definitely. As I said earlier, a like system isn't moderated like a rep system, and you just click a button to like a post - no need to choose positive, and then add a comment making sure it's not pointless.

I guess the rep system could be changed in to a like system
- remove -rep
- remove the comment box
- remove the rep limits
However, the only problem then is that people will rank up in rep powers a lot quicker than at the moment. Usually on a like system, if you're using the rep system as a like system, then everyone's rep power should be 1 and should not increase. This would make it a fairer system, but then obviously there's the problem of people who have really high rep power and may not want to just see it reset to 1 . Oh, and the other major problem, what happens to the Christmas rep threads?! .
