this idea is jacked from another site that uses it so people that make WORTH WHILE posts have something to show for it, and people that post like fools also have that shown.

"The reputation system is very similar to the Karma system seen on other popular websites and forums (Slashdot.org, for example). Its purpose is to hopefully give users an idea of how respected, knowledgeable, helpful, gracious, etc., a person is. It is a system in which you rate your peers. It is a system that, hopefully, will make you think twice about your posts. Eventually, people with higher reputation scores will enjoy a few forum 'perks'; access to special forum areas, for example. Try to help others by giving reputation to the people you believe know what they are talking about and are the most helpful! Try to earn more reputation by helping others and giving the most detailed answers, while avoiding being disrespectful to others."

so under a users name will say "rep power"

then a number, all start @ zero ofc.

if you like their post, then you give them a + rep, if you don't u give a -

ofc limits would be put in place so that you could only rep say 5 ppl a day and can't rep the same person more then once every 10 reps or so.


also as your rep grows then your repping power will too, so when you rep someone thats a 5, and your 4,000, they jump up 200 or so as a respected poster (yourself) repped them.  This will work the same way if you give them a Neg.

for each rep/neg you give you can also attach a comment to the poster why you rep'd/ neg'd them
