    Lightbulb Re: Suggestions

    The possible implementation of reputation system has been discussed before in this thread. In short, the idea was not that popular because, on other boards, the system was liable to be abused, and often people become very sensitive about their reputation.

    The modder-idea has merit, though I think a badge would be more appropriate than a new member class.

    Don't we already have the handy awards to those modders who make a notable contributiont?

    What he said.

    Not only did you dig up my old thread, you went and said everything i was going to say.

    Saved me a lot of hassle there, buddy.

    Although, an alternative to a 'rep' system could be the 'thanks' system they have at Facepunch Studios (home of Garry's Mod for HL2). Everytime someone says something, and you believe it to be helpful, you press the thanks button. There is no negative button, only a plus button.

    Wouldn't that make you feel great if all you got was thanks? Sure would make me happy!

    We've actually investigated a 'Thanks' system not too long ago as I agree it would be a nice feature. After our forum technicians gave it a close inspection, however, they concluded that it would slow down the forums to a significant degree.

    I'm afraid, then, if you want to thank someone for a post you'll just have to say it in a post!

    between Senior Membership & the annual HOF awards, we have enough gongs to hand out IMO.
    "I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."
