A Reputation System for Bungie.net?

How would you feel about a reputation system being implemented into the Bungie.net forum experience? Say someone regularly posts helpful, inquisitive, interesting, not shitty posts, and they were recognized for doing so. This would create a sort of motivation to being a better poster, and could help out what some call a "dying community", at least in terms of #offtopic. This would be beneficial for other boards as well, #help for instance, someone with a good reputation is more reliable than someone without. #gaming, #destiny, #feedback, pretty much all the boards could benefit from something like this. It would also help in understanding which accounts are just throwaway alts and other #offtopic shit. In the past, Bungie.net did have a title system, which was based off of posting frequency, tenure, and lack or amount of bans, at least to earn "mythic" it was. This sort of title system encouraged people to post more frequently, stay longer, and post less shit. Gotta mention that Zonda brought this idea up earlier, connecting it with the fact that we have an upvote/downvote system that is basically useless past the point of exiting the thread you are in. I just thought a thread could get the community's feelings about the subject, maybe raise an eye from the web team, who knows. From Zonda: [quote]I'd appreciate titles, but 3 years of regular activity to reach Mythic doesn't seem worth it imo. True Karma where you need to have posted at least 25 times to upvote/downvote, and you need a certain number of votes on your account to change your prefix, Votes on your activity (Posts/comments) change your suffix, and Groups allow custom steeings that can be predetermined with a format, or just admins changing them on a whim. It would mitigate abuse with the post requirement, and give people a reason to have discussion value.[/quote] TL;DR: How would you feel about a reputation system being implemented to your Bungie.net profile? As in, more upvotes, better rep; more downvotes, worse rep.

  • I like the original idea of titles more. They rewarded users who actually stuck around, as well as avoided bans. In all honesty, I wouldn't like that particular system. Honestly, this site is enough of a popularity contest as it is. The really good users are already ignored by the vast majority of newer users, while the ones with a stupid gimmick get noticed entirely too often. I'd hate to see someone like Wiz or Anonymous get overlooked while Engrapadora gets everyone to suck his dick over a title earned entirely too easily. Yes, the gimmicks can be funny, but there shouldn't be additional recognition for shitposting 24/7.
