Reputation Power

[Apple]

I have just read the FAQ on Reputation Power and I think that what is required to gain a reputation power is a little high. I know I might be new here but I have had a lot of experience with other forums so I hope my opinion can count even just a little bit here.

This is what you need to gain 1 reputation power.

- 4000 posts
- 400 reputation points
- 365 days (1 year) registered on the forum

I agree with the annual reputation power but I think the 4000 posts could be halved to 2000. Also this would be the next extreme if this idea gets supported enough but also the 400 reputation points could be lowered a little as well. However I think that if the 4k posts was halved to 2k, with people gaining a considerable amount of rep power that 400 reputation points would likely become easier to achieve as people would be gaining reputation faster with the rep power increased. So perhaps the 400 reputation points is fine as it is.

I understand that you may not want a power-mad forum were many have sky high reputation like 50 - 100+ but even to have that many you need to of had extremely outstanding contribution to HabboxForum so don't they deserve it? I feel that my reputation power is not even worth giving to people. Also in a years time if I have stayed active on this forum I will only have a rep power of 2 as I do not think I will have either 4k posts or 400 reputation points.

I have noticed from a thread in the feedback forum that you have also recently implemented a system so that people can publicly recognise when a post has been +/-repped, the reasoning for this was that people are not really repping anymore and that it might help revive the rep system. Well you could also say the same for this, everyone who has a low reputation power may gain a couple of reputation power and then feel their reputation matters more to people so actually start using it more! Not to mention what impact it might have on posts, if someone knows that they are close to another 2k posts for a rep power they will be more active on the forum to achieve it.

Thanks for reading, would love to hear some feedback.

It was previously a lot higher and I think it's rather reasonable as if you make a lot of positive contribution (OR ENTER COMPETITIONS) you will gain rep power.

I have said this many times, and I completely agree with what you're saying, but it's not going to happen.

4000 is a crazy amount just for ONE extra rep power, seeing as it can take, on average, about 2 years, and that's for ACTIVE members. For less active ones, it could never even happen.

A lot higher? I was under the impression that it was 5000 before?

I believe (save for the posts which I think could be 3,500 or even 3000) that requirements for rep power are pretty fair!

Hmm kk yeah that's true maybe I over exaggerated . For every 1200 rep points, though you're actually getting an extra rep power than you would have in the past before Sam changed in.

I agree with 2000, idk how i got so much, but there's people with like double mine. And to be fair, that's only a few of us. Once we leave (and we're all gettin rather old) then everyone will have around the same rep, from 1-12 or so, which i think is a reasonable amount.

Oh, sorry! I do apologise, I thought you were talking about the post count, as that's all I was focusing on in the thread.

I'd say 2500, not 2000. But I do agree it is a lot. I think habbox should, if they can, see what the average post count of active members are

[jackass]

Well, according to my average posts per day, it would take me about 1 year and 9 months just to gain ONE rep power from 2500 posts.

I know my posts per day isn't as high as some members, but i'm hardly inactive am I?

Based on that you can get 1 rep every year, you'd need to post about 7 a day, without missing any days. I think that's pretty fair tbh
