:idea:so i keep hearing about this.... how the current rep is tainted/flawed.... so just wanted to ask..... if we can get another rep bar for actual helpful growing advice?

that way we/people can see who is giving helpful advice towards growing :clap:....and not just spreading unearned rep

Same here, but a dual-tier rep system makes sense to me.

A suggestion: make the bars exponential. 100 points, 200, 400, 800 ... your tenth means 51200 points ... a nice way to end "green bar compression" imo ... cn

isn't that what the like button is for...? stay high
My opinion? The Like button is for folks like me ... it's ideal for acknowledging a bon mot. (Is it any wonder I went a bit activist when Likes went away?) Rep is more serious, and I typically use it to acknowledge wisdom. I see value in having a tiered system: general wisdom as I've seen in the Café, and weed-specific wisdom for the business end of the site. cn

wouldn't it be nice to see an actual rep bar for "helpful information/advice" towards growing?

not just a total that anyone can get maxed... in no time.

I get it... but likes are for likes and reps are for good grow advice or as you put it general wisdom... but don't you think the same thing would happen with another rep system? It would get corrupt like the other system is... besides does rep matter that much??... acknowledgement is good weather in the form of a like or rep, that's just me... I get just as excited about a good like as I do a real rep... one way or another someone took my post for what it was... stay high

but it's still corruptable... unless some admin had to approve the rep first...
our rep bar is suppose to be just that and it became a secondary like button... this would then be a 3rd... wouldn't it??? stay high

bingo!

thats why it would have to be "approved" before adding to ones rep ;)

moderated rep.....so it is 100% legit

people could try....... but has to be approved first :)

Actually, until the "rep me" threads came and stuck, the rep I got was always for cause. (I confess ... I opposed them at first, but acquired the taste.) Now that they're gone, i expect rep to stabilize back to a general state of good practice. Perhaps I trust the system to work better than you would. cn

not taking anything away?..... just adding another one for useful info/help towards growing :) so we can see who actually helps ;)
either that or just keep the current one that is there and upgrade it to make it mod approved... once a new rep system is approved it would render the other usless so losing that rep wouldn't matter would it? stay high

loosing rep would not matter to me? give us something to work for again ......by helping others that need it!

just to say "if" we all started over .......we would see people helping new member all the time...win win in my books :)

thats why i just suggested another bar for actual knowledge/helpful info wouldn't want to piss off too many members...lol
