Guitaret wrotethe separation line between the dumb and the intellectual has been erased but I would like some assistance to spot the difference if it is not too much to ask.
You want a reputation or thanking system, which has no objective connection whatsoever to the quality of post contents, to help you spot the difference between a smart post and a dumb one? That just sounds like backward thinking to me. It would've made more sense if you'd said that you want a rep system in order to passive-aggressively bash or
get back at users that you disagree with, which is completely understandable.
ILIA_93 wroteI would really love to give a lot of positive reps to many great users here, and I have a package of negative thumbs for some users also.
Like that, see?
Rep systems are only as good as the user base. Lebanese forums in general are cesspools of bigotry and retardation, and many of them have such systems where bigots would
thank each others just to make themselves feel more secure, and if anything it makes matters worse because those "hot" users are almost never banned.
Decent forums, where people are already expected to be able to think for themselves, don't really need a rep system. LebGeeks is well above the average Lebanese forum level in terms of intelligent content and discussions, and I'd like to think that it's also above such mentality that can be found in those forums (and some of them are really popular, how embarrassing). Signatures would be fine I guess, so long as they're not obnoxious/huge pics or anything like that.
