A reputation system.

It's where people can basically give a :thumbup: or a :thumbdown: to someone for saying/doing something really awesome or really terrible in a post. It would keep track of the total which would (probably) be shown like one's post count.
It's basically a rating system like Ebay rates sellers/buyers.

Personally, I'd be willing to give it a shot as long as there was a certain limit to how much rep someone could give in a certain time.

In my experience, a rep system becomes a game, with Ponzi scheme-worthy tactics towards climbing to the top of the rep heap. Still, this is a gaming forum, so...

...or the bottom. :twisted:

New goal: Obtain the lowest possible rep score without being banned or getting a thread locked. As you said, It is a gaming forum. ;)

I had a friend who convinced an admin to give him -10,000 rep points. Just for that reason.

Given the number of Americans in the forum you would likely lose to the first Frenchman.
