    btw I find this thing very silly. I mean, what is it suppose to do? "Look at me people like my posts! This proves it!" Seems very, very silly. And what exactly qualifies a reputable post? =P

    Want to show someone you appreciate them? Lick them. Everywhere. Then they'll know of your love.

    DP: Forums staff can hand out negative reputation points.

    It's not an ass-kissing button unless you only use it to suck up. I, for one, plan on using it on whoever helps me out with problems and answers questions well, particularly in the gaming/help forums rather than elsewhere. If you so wish it, you can boost the ego of someone who you actually (shock) think is deserving of it. Heaven forbid! :rolleyes:

    Of course, if you are able to and they are not against it, then I will not stop anyone licking any other such person at these forums... although with all this "I'm a chocobo who licks people a lot" stuff going on from you, boko, I'm starting to suspect you're just taking notes from my past posts/chat sessions.

    EDIT: What qualifies as a reputable post: Anything that is genuinely insightful, well-thought out, answers a question well and in a helpful way, a quality new thread... stuff like that. Obviously, not spam or people asking questions or "I want some love" (Sorry Polaris! - but I'm sure you'll get your reputation boosted for helping people in the GD forum ) etc. Basically if you be sensible about it and aren't using it just for the sake of using it, then you're probably using it right.

    I'm checking over all the reps and deleting any joke ones at the moment anyway. 'grats to qwerty on being the first person to get two reps for the same post, and for good reason.

    I'm tempted to remove the negative feature from staff as well, actually. But I'm trusting them to use it for responsible purposes, which I would not trust a chunk of the regulars to do. It's for the same reason that all through the years this has been acceptable...
    That was a great post, man.
    ...but this was not...
    That post sucked.

    if you require people to specify reasoning and just delete the stuff that doesn't supply valid reasoning, that could theoretically work. Though I wouldn't trust it to if it were anonymous, and I wouldn't trust it not to devolve into negrep wars if it weren't. I don't really think there's a good solution to it other than allowing people who have earned it the ability to negrep, but not anyone else. I do think that should be a larger portion of the user base than staff (or staff + RMs) though, or else the negrep feature should just be removed entirely.

    Cause clearly a 'thank you' isn't enough to get the point across.

    Quick question. When on this highway, will the song be playing, or is this like, an actually torturious highway to hell that will make us suffer?
