A Rep System: Add it, Yes or No?

Posted Aug 29, 2012

So I was wondering, should we have a rep system, and if so:

  • what icons should we use?
  • should there be limitations on who can dish out rep / a rep-per-day cap?

Rep is pointless and stupid. It's like adding micromanagement to a game. It's there, but only hardcore users use it. And nearly all of them are critiquy snobs :T

Wait brb Tiny Tower.

It's still a no here.

While we may be trying to act like a grown up big boy forum, there's really not enough people here yet to make a rep system worthwhile. It'd be like a small table of people sitting down for lunch and then ignoring everything one guy says just for the heck of it. When you have a large-scale forum, there's often a need to drown out the wailing chorus of parasites from the counterpoint of democracy; but when we encourage uplifting or down-putting people beyond sheer need, we discourage growth.
