So they will end up having the same amount of rep, not fair either I guess.

How is that not fair?

I wish this reputation system just wasn't there if people really think it's so important. You can just tell people their post is good.

I don't think it's 'really important' nor to be taken so seriously, but it is a sweet little feature. I don't want to go to all the bother of writing a post or a pm just to give someone a thumbs up, I like quickly clicking a single icon. It doesn't make or break the forum! But it is annoying whenever I try to use it, that I always get an error message.

Salome, thank you! I would rep you but...

Because the other person makes more great posts, relatively speaking

And what's up with the latest reputation squares system? A'isha has twice the amount of green squares as me and we are only 8 reputation points apart. Now how is that fair???

I'm also bothered with the spread around feature at times, but then again it would be a lot worse if you could give as much as you like.

Here's a thought: what if there was an icon that you could click to send a 'bouquet' to the person - that doesn't show up to anyone else? That way you could let the person know you really enjoyed their post, but it doesn't become a love-fest (or a hate-fest) that is visible to all. You'd get the buzz of the thought from someone that they enjoyed your post, but it wouldn't be out there for everyone!

Anatoliy and I looked into it, it is possible to change the numbers. Not to say that there are not valid points in support of altering the numbers but after talking about it we opted not to noodle with it. It is set up that way to keep it from being unfair in terms of building or taking away reputation... Sorry, I hope it's not too dissapointing. I love the flower idea, that's sweet!
