I'd like to change a bit of my opinion one what i said earlier after the first experiences i've had now (Bob, Segosa, Dane in this thread)...

Bad idea, people seem only to write stupid things there anyway.

True, that's why i don't really belive in per-post anymore.

Good ideas.

- Option: vote anonymously or not

I think that if you can give comments along with your vote the reputation thing should not be anonymously, this to avoid problems which we already saw today. If a vote is done without any comment i don't care it it is anonymous or not.

Personally i would prefer that everyone should be able to give the same ammonut of points, to keep everyone kinda equal .

I think the future system should combine both. I explain myself:

I like this idea a lot, good thinking! But now everyone can give a minimal of -1 and maximum +1. But the actual repuation itself what will that be? I thing a sum of all those reputation individual members gave to the member (min -1/max +1) would be nice. So WDZ gave me an average rating of 0.4, Patchou an average of 0.1, Dane an average of -0.3, then my actual reputation would be 0.2.

Another question is to consider giving more points for a voted thread-post, for example: counting twice.

---

Why? And in which situation somebody is allowed to give more points then usual?

Might seem so, but at Keystom's system for instance it seems very complicated when its written down in words, but once it is build you'll just vote when you like and you won't have to bother about other things. But your suggestion to keep things as simple as possible is certainly one to remember.

Could the Reputation points be shown in the profile, to see where a member got a good reputation (and to see what were his/her best posts?).

---

I like this very much.

if the reputation is shown next to posts. Currently, there's just one reputation number loaded along with all the other info about the poster. No extra queries are needed, and there's no big calculations...

---

You can still leave the user's reputation static, you'll just need to recalculate it as soon as somebody votes on a user, still a bit more queries then with the current system but i don't think it will affect the server load, only staff and elites can vote (maybye about 20 people?) and they can't do more then one vote at a time.

That why i think comments should either be binded to a username, or no comments at all.

---

Good, but keep that on the high side (200 is to low it think) to avoid people start spamming so they can go and reat people. Maybe that number should even be above 1000 (to avoid Dane from rating ppl for a while , j/k ).

Good one, better then numbers i think.


Out of quotes. I'd say skip the original two systems and go with either Keystom or Guido's sguggestion or some kind of combination of it.
