) this one got missed I think in this fast thread (If I look at the some replies).. so I moved it

----ORIGINAL POST----

lurking here... so far I like Billywoods idea that different groups have different limitations for voting (+1, +2, ...)
things needed to be taken in consideration:
* Can one vote for the same post multiple times?
* What if that post gots edited, is it considered a new post where you can vote on it again or not?
* What if you want to change your vote for a certain post?
* Should one vote for posts only, or also on members general.
* If you vote for individual posts, maybe it is an idea to have two reputation bars: 1 for the individual post, 1 for the poster himself.
* What if a post gots deleted; does this delete also the votes for it and so the votes for the poster himself?
* Maybe if a post gots moved to T&T or deleted by an admin, the reputation of that poster (and/or post) should decrease.
* ...
Another thing about the user titles:
The problem is that the current user titles are a bit confusing:
"Post Freak", etc... only says something about your post count, not who you are in the group.
"New member", "elite member", "mod", "full member" are in fact titles that don't have to do anything with postcount but with your status in a group....
So, IMO, this has to be fixed also; either use things like "post freak", "regular poster", "lurker", etc... and link it to the postcount or use titles like "elite member", "full member", "regular member" etc... and don't link them to postcount, but link them to a reputationlevel or time....
