Perhaps usage of the reputation system is a better option to show the quality of one's input. And that needs to be tied to an ASUS incentive - giveaways or prizes and such. Of course, none of that can happen unless there is requisite resource so it's just an idea, not a plan.

Both will be tied to achievements in the future. I think the idea should be to make post counts fun and rep have more value.

Agreed.. but to be fair .. (ugggh!! i hate that word.fair.) I rarely in my short tenor, unil of late, have used that rep button.
And. You can only give 1 .. when some have super excellent informing posts .. but you cant rep them if you did .. ever .. once.
I would think to be 'fair' the mods would need to step up and add rep if they think it is warranted.
or .. multiple rep'n could be added.
After posting 2000+ posts .. 41 have posted rep .. and i thank each and every one of them .. the rest ? confused. hahhahaa.c.

Both rep and post count based titles have value and are distinctly separate.

Rep only has real meaning when the people who are giving rep, have any of their own or it really means very little. One other thing it is virtually impossible to work out who gave you rep or even why they did. So for that notion to gain traction a few tweaks to the current rep system will be needed I suspect.

+1 vote for enhancing the rep system!

I could not care less about post counts... as a support forum, the quality should be more important then quantity...

Of course, building a community is important too! But even that, would the post number change the community feeling? I mean it would set an activity meter, which I think would matter for a good community... but still... don't know...

Well if the Forums are quiet, it can almost be easy to figure out who repped you when they did....lol unlike in my case, i got repped 3 times in near succession and the person i thought gave me the rep hadn't lol...but yes, please Mr R.....tweak the Rep System please so we can see exactly who gave us Rep

[HiVizMan]

.... and the person i thought gave me the rep hadn't lol...

And the person who did rep you thought he was repping someone else

Well, you can rep people more than once but you just can't do it back to back. I'm not sure what the formula is but once you have repped a certain number of other people then you can rep the first person again. I think it's to prevent abuse but it does encourage people to find others that deserve kudos.

Most cases in regards to giving out Rep, there is usually a limit of giving out 2-5 every 24 hours...depending of course, on the rules set into place by those who administer the Vbulletin backend

A tweak where a mod can give "more" rep than users would probably suffice.
