REPUTATION OR LIKE SYSTEM

[AgnesIO]

So, after a lengthy discussion about whether reputation is important to people, I thought I'd post this to find out what system people would prefer overall.

Please post any additional "conditions" to your vote below. I have made who voted what public, as I think it is important that we can check old users are not being ignored, or that newer users are not being ignored etc

I would prefer a rep system with rep power being scaled back down again.

I wouldn't be against a like system if it included dislikes however.

Made the poll - would you want a like system to start a fresh, or include old reputation (+/- reps)?

The thing is with rep, we will still have a reasonable amount, as we've been here for a long time (so got 1 point per year we have been members), and also posted a lot. I think they should stay the same - it should just be more points per rep power or something.

i hope this thread doesnt change @Chris;s mind about installing the like system anyway.

A new system would have to have some sort of transfer with regards to rep. It can't just be scrapped.

I've got a super cool idea that just might work though!

We introduce a like system where we can like and dislike each others posts. Each person gets a sort of 'Like power', so a more well established user has more influence on the like rating than a newer user. And we could transfer rep power over to this new system, so nobody misses out. And say if somebody dislikes a post, it only takes off half the like power so it doesn't lead to abuse. And maybe a users like power should increase by 1 for every 2,500 posts, for every 400 likes they get and for every year they are on the forum for? That sounds like a great system!

Well, hopefully it will show what users actually want :L Not saying they want rep or like systems, but the other thread is quite difficult to work out now!

Personally, if it was to be a like system it would be good if rep was converted (should have made it multiple choice... can always make another thread and just tag in the people who voted for rep if likes prove more popular to let them re-vote :L)

Reputation system without a doubt.

--Nothing more to add as everything will get covered anyway--

With the second option, I'm not understanding how this would work. Would thousands of rep points just get taken away so everyone's rep power drops, or would the amount needed to reach the next rep level rise? (I presume it's the latter as it's more logical).

I'll just vote leave as it as for now 'cause confused.

Love this idea, MOTM for sure.

I think the Habbox servers can only handle 4 people.
