Should we add a reputation system?

Would you guys like to see a Repudiation System added here on AdminBB? Or is the Likes system enough? There was one recently released as a mod, you guys can read it here. So let me know what you guys think

Thanks.

 

Rep system only works when there are thousands of people online to distribute evenly. Likes is fine for now.

 

I think it would be good advantage to see which users are reputable, and which ones are not regarding exchanges & marketplace items, etc. but it would have to be checked for abuse, etc.

 

Yea I was thinking it that. I am planning to add it, just waiting to see what others might think about it.

 

A reputation feature would be cool. Just set some guidelines such as no rep exchanges and more stuff.

 

Yea I have that planned. Thanks for your suggestion.

 

I think it would be a good addition. Any forum that has a section for members to buy, sell, or trade anything needs a reputation system. Likes are one thing but they usually tell you how popular somebody is, not how "legit" or "trustworthy" they are to do business with. I don't know anything about that XF mod myself...but in general, if you can find a good reputation mod, go for it.

 

Thanks, will put into consideration.

 

You must have forgotten the Like system is a reputation system just without the '-'. So adding this will just be adding a reputation system ontop of a similar system. So if your going to add this mind as well remove the Likes.

 

Yes I know sakura, thats why I added this in the first post:

 

The way I see it is that the like system is used if you like a post, so a person could post a hundred times, and get 100 likes, etc. but the user may have a bad reputation for selling/exchanging things and that's where the rep system could come into play so you would know if the user is a good seller/exchanger or not.

 

There's a distinct difference. Likes don't allow you to leave a comment. They also don't allow you to leave bad feedback/negative rep/dislike. Likes are great for what they do, but they don't serve the purpose of a true reputation system. A reputation system for buying/selling/trading needs to support negative reputation.

 

Good points you two

 

If you use the rep system how Ryan mentioned it, for buying/selling/etc., then I think it would be a good addition, but not if it replaces the Likes system (i.e. you give good rep for useful posts). If the two systems serve different purposes, then I think they could each find a place on the forum.

 

Trombones has replied to this, so I must close this now.
Closed.

I believe that a reputation system would be a great addition to this forum, IF members don't abuse the system. As Trombones13 giving someone +rep for a useful post and not just giving the +rep for a random reason, then I can see the reputation system being a good replacement for the like system.

 

Honest Opinion = Likes is similar to reputation system

 

I think the likes feature is better than the reputation system - because a rep system is open for abuse.

 

I had added the reputation system right after I made this thread but there were a few bugs so I removed it and I dont plan to add it anymore.
