Probably just the comment, the post link, and the +/-, the same as what you see in usercp.php, but only "public" comments would be shown to the public. If the "anonymous" option was also added, then it would apply to profiles and usercp.

now i'm a bit confused... i dunno what i think about what would be the best system

---

I think we're getting into the details (like the "public" option) too much again... many of these details could work with any system.

Definitely possible.

I know that doesn't count for me; I think three times about giving out negative reputation points (and thus haven't done that so far), while I'm inclined to rate posts positively after reading them once, without hesitation

there's a small issue in this rating system.. lets say some dodgy member post a dodgy post.
Ill read the post and say "oh, dodgy post, dodgy guy, ill rate this post ".
Then Choli comes, read the post and rates "negative"

Well... then we could still make the rating average of one post, I still have to think up how, but yeah, the fact is that if I voted that dodgy post, that wouldn't help, but if I rated another post by the same member it would count much more, so it's definitely not the point of reputation, I think.
I second the option of having a vote limit per post.

Ok, still the question remains do we really need a ratingsystem?

Of course not... we don't need post counts, avatars, or signatures, but we have those... I thought people would like having a reputation system, and we might benefit from it... I'm not so sure anymore...

Yea sure its nice to have a reputationsystem, what im afraid of here really is the consequences of it all......fights, agro, the bad thoughts bout someone who has red one (u never know wether its deserved or not..as i said before its still a personal choice ta vote possitive or negative . . its easy to judge on a reputationcard, resulting in those ppl giving advice wich will be ignored cuz ppl are afraid of the red card...get what i mean?). No fights come from avatars or postcounts ... reputation is something totally different.

It will be a reason to make members try their best when they post.
Now almost none cares about the current rating system, so it's not acurate. People just don't give a fuck.
With the reputation card shown in every post, the member will think twice before writing dodgy posts.

And will the ppl allowed to rate really read and rate all posts (in all fairness: that should be done in order to get the right reputation shown...rate all posts not just rate the ones found negative)?

To me this looks like mission impossible

For this reason, it's maybe ok to let only some trusted members vote. (I'm not talking about posting ranges because we know how many spammers are Posting Freaks , j/k; I mean a high rank doesn't mean more trustful). So only admins, mods, elites and these trusted group would be able to vote.
(I don't care if I'd be in or not, btw, although my suggestion might sound like asking for it)

I agree on that but when not every post is rated the reputation wouldnt be accurate (whats the meaning of an inaccurate reputation?)....an all will have a red one soon cuz those are given more often then possitive ones (am i giving u a headache yet )

voting on members instead of posts would solve all these problems u are talking about

Yep thats rite, but how do u know a member..by his/her posts rite (therefor u'd have to read em all)? I could tell u my whole lifestory but i dont think thats what your waiting for
