I remember on another (since closed) forum on the internets, they had a reputation system thing, green dots meant someone had positive reputationed the post, the green dots as far as i remember could only be seen by the member getting the green dot in their profile

Not sure of the tech side of things so please forgive me if it cant be done, just thought id say about it

And it wouldnt turn into a "im more poplar than you" thing cause it would only be seen by members recieving a green dot

Just thought it would maybe give vulnerable people here a boost (mentally) if they got one (or more)

I think something like this could be very triggering for some members especially those who didn't have the green dot. (Or lost theirs?) "Why don't I have a green dot? What did I do? Who's against me?" I personally don't care whether anyone likes me or not. This is not an idea I'd like to see adopted here. Sorry...

I mean, the green dot when it's given would only get seen on the profile by the member who gets the green dot

i remember it was possible to get a red dot (negative reputation) but i think it could get switched off from the admin box, not completely sure about that though

Sounds like there’s a reason that forum is closed

it closed due to severe tech problems, it went into nuclear meltdown mode in the tech boxes or whatever

the tech problems were that severe, even the admin could not fix it

I appreciate your intention behind this but honestly I worry about my reputation enough IRL. It's not something I want to have to worry about every time I log into MSF.

I say no green/red dots.

Sorry.

This topic has been discussed before, though not recently.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
