REPUTATION OR LIKE SYSTEM

[Lewis]

Well, at present 60% of all voters want the system to stay exactly as it is. Meanwhile, about 38% want the system to change (28.5% of these want a like system). @Danny.R.H2012 has selected other, but I don't think has actually posted what he does want, making his vote completely void.

Got to say at present, it looks like the current rep system is wanted; if possible would you people want to see who repped what post and -reps on a post? @-:Undertaker:- / @Bolt660 / @Daltron / @dbgtz / @Dilusionate / @Flairr / @FlyingJesus / @GoldenMerc / @Headlines / @Inkwell / @Inseriousity. / @Intersocial / @Jordan / @lesbian / @Lewis / @lucaskf390 / @Matts / @Nick / @Red / @rihanna-cool / @Samanfa / @scottish / @XxZammyXx / @Yuxin / @£lliott

In essence, I think that would give what the people who want a like system want, whilst also keeping the reputation system as it currently is (obviously a slight change, but your rep would still stay exactly the same!)

I think the person who recieves +rep / -rep should be allowed to know without hc vip on the forum and others cannot. But you should be able to share -rep / +rep without getting warned, making it your choice if you share it.

nope want it kept as it is. Don't want to be able to see who has repped a post or have people knowing what posts I have repped.

[Mr-Trainor]

I think it should stay the same but let us see who repped a post both - and + !!!

Agreed with the + and - thing, even if nothing else changes it'd be nice to see that finally introduced .

You're wrong again

Regardless of if the limit is lifted or not, atm say for 50 rep you need one or two people to rep you, with 3-5 power you'd need 10-17 people to rep you. I highly doubt 10-17 people will rep the same post, where as 1-2 people are more likely to..

So you'd still be a hell of a lot slower with the reduced rep as you'd be relying on what, 5-8x the amount of people to rep you?

and the amount of abuse that could be done, oh let's like each others last 2000 posts and get 10,000 rep/like points woo.

I will just say, I am thinking of a forum with a much much larger active userbase which has an up vote button. But even so, to get 50 rep won't always take just 1-2 people because when I get rep sometimes it's just 1-10 points. And also another thing to mention, with a like system the amount of points you have surely wouldn't be as important if rep power is capped? At the moment there's no highest rep power, but let's go with the highest a user has which is 67? A new user trying to get to that rep power may as well just give up before they start trying. But under my proposed system, the highest rep power would be something like 3 or 5 and it'd actually be a possible challenge for a new user to try and reach that status .

If the system changes, it doesn't have to be changed to show publically who has liked a post - and tbh I'd also rather it didn't .

Decided I would definitely not want non-VIPs seeing who repped them - merely because it would take away a feature from VIPs who may have paid/won that privilege.

I think the issue here is that polling is pretty misleading, most people see these threads don't understand and end up voting for the status quo without properly understanding the situation. We need to break the whole reputation debate into separate parts in order to devise our best way forward:

- Reputation Power Inflation
- Displaying the number of -reps
- Publicly Displaying Reps
- Rate limitation of reps

Which would look very subtle in the reputation logs.

Whilst I would love to call out an unfair poll, I honestly cannot see how this could really be misleading. Most, if not all, of the people who have voted are established members of the forum who are not totally stupid (well, arguably ) I think the results clearly show users still want the rep system (and yes, I was originally in favour of a like system on certain grounds) - so I guess you are right, it would now make sense to look at those other areas that you mentioned

I wouldn't mind seeing - and + reps on the little counter, but don't want names listed (which i'm assuming is similar to the like/thank system in terms of under post or whatever it'd list all people who done so)

Also implementing names defeats half of the point in vip/donator

So what with the proposed changes you'd want admins to go through the rep logs every so many hours/day to check no-ones abusing it?

Agree here - would like to see how many -reps a post has had, but now agree with no names being listed - simply because that is a VIP feature

[Alkaz]

Keep it as it is.

[AgnesIO]

Right, so does anyone have any other concerns? These are four questions that need to be asked (cheers, Chippiewill). Any other stuff, then I or someone else can make one (hopefully final) thread on it, to get a consensus..

- Reputation Power Inflation
- Displaying the number of -reps
- Publicly Displaying Reps
- Rate limitation of reps

[Inseriousity.]

why would you need to make another thread, you're never going to get a consensus, it's habbox.

I'm trying to avoid the "it was unfair", "management just did what they wanted" - get some normal members to run the thought process which may help :L As there are differing opinions, it makes sense to try and meet somewhere in the middle (but obviously on the rep system, as that is the majority so far ). This thread has effectively achieved its aim, in finding out whether the majority want likes or reps.

Only just got this, seeing who repped and whatever at the bottom wouldn't be available for non-vip users would it? Sounds like a good idea either way.

Yeah that particular thing that was raised by someone is not something I personally favour now, just as I remembered it is a VIP feature to see who repped you; maybe it might be possible to make it possible for only VIPs to see who repped a post?
