I am indifferent to it. Don't see the use. You can usually see how good a thread is by how many replies it is generating. Also, if you are a frequent visitor here, you know who the people are that you agree with frequently, disagree with frequently, etc.... I just don't see what it would add.

If you could fix it so that anyone on your ignore list cannot "rate" you then I might be amenable to it. Otherwise, it will be an instant slamfest.

The system at soonerfans works really well, as any mention of REP in the public forums is squashed.

I like it. You don't lose or gain any posting priveledges, you just have a guage of your worth. :)

This system would have to assume posters would respond as mature adults. If that isn't possible then the sytem won't work.

soonerfans was what peaked my interest in it and sparked me to ask freak about it. They, like as mentioned above, know who the worthy posters are and act accordingly.

One idea might be that you could only leave positive rep points and disable the negative. That way you could only reward and not try and punish people you disagree with.

Tell me mods, is it possible to change it to a system that measures responses to the poster? For example, if finevol starts a thread and it gets lots of responses, i.e. starts a good discussion, then he can get some style points (hate to use that phrase, but it fits). Or maybe if you post a statement and you get quoted and replied to a lot, you get points.

I think measuirng people's desire to pick up your issue or reply to you, without regard to subjective impressions of whether its "worthy," is a better objective measure of contributiion.

That would probably be the best option for this board from the discussions I've seen spiralling, if it was doable. I don't know the specifics of what can and can't be done with the system, but that sounds pretty good if it's possible.

soonerfans, I think, works on a system where you have to give out "rep" before you can receive "rep".

I think this would be an enormous mistake. Its bad enough that we take pot shots at each other and the threads spin off into ego battles, leaving the original issue in the dust. But if you do this, then you virtually guarantee that even remotely controversial thread will quickly devolve into name-calling and complaints that people are being targeted or unfairly criticized, etc., followed by people defending their criticisms, and on and on and on.

I just think you will really regret it if you do it.

I agree.I don't see anything but ticking people off here.
