[Poll] Reputation points?

Post by allingeneral »

We've all seen forums that have reputation points, i.e. people can positive or negative rep other members for their post content and whatever other reasons they desire, I guess. What do you guys think of this feature? Should I add it?

allingeneral,

I am not a big fan, never seen a real benefit except maybe when it comes to classifieds.

Just my two cents.

I'd have to vote No too... then I'd have to be nice all the time, and that's just too much pressure :boxing: :out_cold:

I can't see any reason for it. So I'll say no.

I didn't see an option for "Meh" so I didn't vote. I am ambivalent on this one.

I'll have to make sure to add a "Meh" option to the next poll just in case.

It looks like this function will not be added to the forum.

Doesn't sound constructive! :tommygun:

JMO, but I don't think that it is necessary.

I've been on far too many sites where the system has been abused and surreptitiously eliminated. It only works for "trade" sites (SlickDeals.net comes to mind) but otherwise it just turns into a doofy popularity contest.

Thank you for everyone who voted and provided your opinion in this thread.

The decision has been overwhelmingly made NOT to add a Karma/Reputation points system to the Virginia Gun Owners Forum.

This thread is now closed.
