Changes to the rep system!

[mudskipper]

Sorry but the system still looks a bit tulip. It's fundamentally broken to rate a poster (turns into a spamfest) rather than what they say (helps promote and identify high quality discussions).

Why can't we have a system where a post or thread is rated with a thumbs up/down (like The Register and The Daily Hate Mail) so you can pick the replies which are worth reading from the dross....

Well, once the novelty of liking everything wears off (which could, admittedly, take some considerable time) then that's how it should work. Good posts = lots of likes, helpful posts = lots of thanks.

You have met the majority of frequent posters on this site and know the reputation of the others. Do you honestly think the novelty will EVER wear off?

An obvious flaw is that psychocandy and post tulip in a professional forum and we will need to get the URL of that post and then find a post of his in General, neg that post and include the URL of the professional forum post in the comment. It's very clunky.

Agreed...wibble

I don't have a rep title in my usual haunt of accounting and legal so I thought I'd wander over here just to see what it is- please ignore me

Have you not met some of the muppets on here? They are easily amused with their own shadow at times!

It passes the time. Look squirrel.

How come I can give multiple likes to the same person's post

[mudskipper]

Look squirrel.

Is that your pet name for SMac this week?

There it is. Oh it's gone. There it is! Oh it's gone?

What causes that?
