Hi, I would love to be able to award rep within the forum. I see there is upvoting of posts and thread but I’d like to really attach it to some members of the community. There are a few that always seem to be there for even the simplest questions and itd be great to see them given rep for being positive, helpful members of the community!
I always thought something like this was in the cards when the upvote system came into being. Most forums I’ve seen that incorporate post likes/votes keep a counter of how many a user has accrued on their profile. As you say, it’d be a cool way to recognize people who are extremely helpful around the community. =)
That isn’t whats being proposed , and on the forums that do have similar systems I’ve never seen someone dismissed because they lacked a certain amount of likes. It’s no different from titles on , or karma on the answerhub.
personally I’d rather see the “I helped the community” badges return then have any more social media site type nonsense on the forum, obviously that’s just my opinion:).
