Introducing: The Forum Reputation System

Huh, every single person here has 1 green bar. How do I see how many they have? (Or is it glitchy on Mobile Desktop?)

It will be interesting to see if people use the system to passively-aggressively disagree with posts by downvoting reputation as opposed to posting a reply to a post and engaging in the discussion.

I think it's a bad idea it will create cliques and sides and then will lead to an utter slop fest of bickering. Look how bad any comment/vote system is they all turn out the same way on the internet.

Not every person has just one bar. A few have more than one (OnyxDS and some mods and maybe some others).

Two days after today left on the trial!

I've done some quick approximations and it has been about 8.5 weeks (x7 = 59.5). As a result, this should be the end of the trial. It's definitely been a controversial system with the comments on it being too harsh no people that are generally disagreed with whilst others with helpful posts lack points compared to groups supporting each other and creating drastic post increases.

I wonder what the official results on the system are. In my opinion, the system has seemed to die down recently with not many points being given out.

One thing that may need to be addressed is the point rate. I've only seen mods progress past the first green dot if I remember correctly and not many others are near reaching that milestone. Maybe if more green dots were added frequently and there was some form of reward for giving/obtaining reputation points, the system would function better.

The one reason I don't really use it is because of how small the button is. I often forget that it exists, and then I go to downvote, but it got removed.

Another issue is that the system does not really affect anything. Giving people good or bad rep does not matter, but giving people an upvote or a downvote on reddit could make their post thrive or die, depending on which direction you voted.

A more rewarding system may be nice, with the extra green dots, but it won't make the system useful (Imo ).

Have any new decisions about this system been discussed lately? Is the Reputation Power feature enabled at all yet?
