Do u want Reputation System Back?

[Azriel]

in concise points:

when these rating systems were first introduced to lfe (thanks, rep, etc.) they were used more conservatively - people thanked for only good posts, and rated for things worth rating (such as being especially good/helpful at sprites, dc, fighting, hex, making a useful app etc.).

currently the thanks system is used as a "like" system, and the rep system (before it was put down) was used as a "this is my first impression/opinion of you" system.

if these systems can be used more sparingly as they once were used, then things will be much much better.

• i'd +rep wirwl for his LFStudio (i can dc a frame in less than a minute instead of a few minutes per frame, and fine tuning is even easier)
  
• i'd +rep bp for the effort he's put into the forum's backend stuff
  
• i'd -rep childish behaviour if it is evident both sides are not trying to solve anything (if i'm the neutral party)
  
• some of those spriting tutorials give practical tips, and are worth Thanking
  
• dc help also deserves Thanks if it solves a problem (it's tedious looking at someone else's dc code)
