YinYin Wrote:  a more complex/advanced rep system - with thumbs up/down for each given rep (pretty simple actually as you can see things like that about everywhere already)

as you might not want to repeat someone elses rep comment on a member but you do fully agree and have nothing more to add you could simply add to it - thumbs up
if someone gave rep with bad reasoning or you simply disagree you can put thumbs down - decreasing its value
if you then still have a new reason not listed yet you can add it the way it worked before

this way every users reputation would rather become a list of things ppl say about him - which are again increased/decreased by the whole community - this way any rep might level out properly

'hes my best friend' reps will probably stay at +1 because noone except for that person really cares about that
'he helped with project xy/created wz/moderates the forum nicely' might increase far above +1 as many might agree with that statement
'hes the best fighter in the world!!!!!' might decrease below 0 as many would probably disagree
vice versa for negative reps


well perhaps allowing thumbs up/down to change the value of the rep by a whole point might be too much and lead to even more rep spamming - the usual notation 'x of y members found this rep appropriate' might be better, allowing you to look for the most agreed on comments
the ratio of agreeing/disagreeing members could then create the actual rep value

so if blue gave silva +2 rep for all his awesome hex achievements and 50 of 100 members agree with that it would amount to a total of +1
and as we all know normal users can only give +1 the usual rep values would range btw 0 and 1 (-1 for negative rep) depending on how many ppl agree

ohhh how sweet of you.
whilst I totally agree with you and your solution mentioned, it's not quite that easy. I actually once tried to build a mybb-plugin and failed, same with the actual forum I was trying to build up at that time.
Point being, I can't really see Blue or Razen to have enough time, nor can I see them actually accept help in that matter. I remember Razen once giving me access to the admin panel, Blue found out and well it wasn't pretty, I am still having nightmares about it.
However after reading your post, I searched for such mybb plugins and came across another term worth mentioning: "Rep-moderators". Has that been discussed already?
I personally see more sense in volunteering for something like that than the actual mod job. It's an unknown, probably more interesting topic and besides that you have a clean area of "power", people can't frame you for anything else you are actually capable of.

i know exactly why this isn't implemented, but BPs post sounded so positive

edit: also to me the job of a rep moderator sounds extremely boring - unless there is someone with a gossip fetish who is looking through any and every rep ever given on a forum anyway (+ able to judge and actually tidy things) i see no future for that

i said that he should learn his lesson and he learned his lesson.
