Title: Rep.
Post by: Mars on May 13, 2015, 20:04:31
We need reputation bars.
You should be able to give people reputation if they've been funny, made a good post or done something nice.

I support this suggestion, it would inspire people to make better posts so they can get a better reputation. But, i think m4 or America once said in the chat that this was already going to happen, there would be no post count and just a rep system or something like that.

Also, maybe there should be a like system where you can +1 or -1 people's post.

^true This will Make people unable to spam so i support this idea! Plus the more rep you have the more people will look up to you as a nice guy so you can determine who is a guy you can come to ask questions to other than the staff ofc.

There should be posts. This is not a biased opinion, but posts show knowledge and activity.
Reputation shows kindness and helpfulness.

How about only showing posts that were useful? Like I post something and I get lots of up votes and so I get rep for theat and that post goes to my post count but then I spam something like "XD" then I get lots of down votes and that gives me negative rep and that post doesn't go to my post count?

It says "Posts: (number of posts)" for a reason.
If you wanted that there should be a separate counter for useful posts, or a reputation system. Which is suggested.
Removing post count is silly, they are two separate things.
I feel if rep was added there should be both.

I don't think people should be able to 'downvote' posts per se.

Looking at the entire idea, perhaps a variation of how other forums do it, make it more in depth -  eg. a post can be marked as helpful, funny, off topic etc. by the community. I know this would be quite a lot harder and more complicated, but could be a better way of doing it. Also, looking at the stats overall would kinda tell us what kind of people are attracted to SLO... Idk, I'm just rambling now.

Anyway, I completely support the idea of rep.

i guess XD... and if a guy has many posts but less rep you would automatically know if he is a spammer or not XD so i guess post count can be kept. and btw ^ i love Jcryer's idea ^

@Vreg?

If making a fully functional rep system is too time consuming/you don't want to do it, you could simply enable the built-in Karma system:

Karma
Karma Option Info (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/SMF2.0:Features_and_Options#Karma)
Karma is an optional feature that shows the popularity of members. Administrators can enable this feature from the Core Features section. When members are allowed, they can applaud or smite a member to raise or lower that member's karma.

o Karma mode - This option is to select how the karma feature will be used in the forum:
o Disable Karma - Disables the use of this feature.
o Enable Karma Total - Makes SMF show only the total of points received.
o Enable Karma Positive/Negative - Shows both the positive and negative points for each user.
o Set the minimum posts needed to modify karma - Administrators can set a minimum number of posts that a user must have before they can       
   raise or lower someone's karma.
o Set wait time in hours - This specifies how long (in hours) users have to wait between consecutive karma actions on the same person.
o Restrict administrators to wait time - This specifies whether forum administrators are restricted by the wait time (see the previous option).
o Karma label - Here administrators can define the label that is shown for the karma field in the profile and posts (default karma:).
o Karma applaud label - The text that appears in the link to increase the karma of a user (default [applaud]). If you leave this field blank, the
   applaud link will be hidden.
o Karma smite label - The text that appears in the link to decrease the karma of a user (default [smite]). If you leave this field blank, the smite
   link will be hidden.


Or, what would be much nicer, but would take a little more time:

Advanced Reputation System
Advanced Reputation System Info (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/?mod=1129)
A full Karma System replacement, with adjustable reputation settings and an in-post rate/comment popup box.
o Reputation sent is now based on the giver's reputation
o Popup box can be activated in posts wherein reputation can be sent with a comment
o Members can view their own reputation by going to action=profile;sa=reputation
o Moderators (or anyone with permission) can delete reputation actions on this screen
o Reputation can be given per post, per thread, on account birthday, and on registration

Just some research I did into simple ways this feature could be implemented, possibly making it more likely to happen?? I don't know, just thought I would post it all here :P
