I wish we could

I wish we could do likes and dislikes on posts here.

another forum i visit has reputation bars. you can give posters reputation points when you like what they posted.

It would be interesting to see who'd get the likes and who'd get the dislikes.

I used other forums with em & lots of people simply rates by which poster they personally like instead of the post itself & it became kind of a popularity contest. & what made things worse on one forum was the system alerted the admin when people went against the grain with rating; it was designed with the theory to keep people from rating like a popularity contest but lots just rated by how others had already rated it because they didn't want to get in toruble.

Ditto that.. it'd be a popularity contest. I think it'd impact the already poor culture of this website negatively.

I am a bit of a tit here as it is, I think an introduction of a reputation system would strive me to become even more unpopular.

I think that this system would increase paranoia, and feelings of ostracism. Many people will become trolls in response to low ratings and the community will implode.

I don't think I it would work out well,so many on this forum are already feeling rejected from society,to have it happen here would just make people feel worse about themselves.
