Reputation shmeputation.

If you give a damn about what other people think of you... well, you are a bitch.

You live and then you die. Life's too short to give even one one millionth of a **** about what other people think of you. **** um all. Have some ****ing fun.

I've been on forums with rep systems and they just don't work.

They're a nice idea but they're completely incompatible with the way people in general work on the internet.

For a wider scale application of why this doesn't work, just hang out on ANY subreddit for a week or so and keep an eye on who gets upvoted the most consistently. It's always just whoever posts the most and has the least personality of their own - whoever manages to echo the hivemind consistently.

Why would you want to reward people like that?

It's a popularity contest for people like that.

I just think that it could be fun if people don't abuse it. But yeah, I can see what you guys are saying. A lot of people would take it way too seriously and it wouldn't be fun anymore.

Reputation is stupid but being able to simply "like" a post is a good feature. There are no negatives and it's a good way to let someone know you enjoyed their post without making a pointless post of your own simply saying you liked it. There are so many stupid posts on MusicBanter of people just putting the laughing smiley () and nothing else, it's just spam and a like system would get rid of it.
