    Well, i want to take my no vote back after thinking about it some more. I like the likes now, they remind me of this book book by nathaniel hawthorne i red once. You can really get a quick feel for people just by checking their likes.

    Kind of like when you would go talk to the girls smoking out back of the gym, you could be pretty sure one of them would like you. But if she don't wave and smile at you in church then you probably ain't gonna get liked.

    I know, soooo 1980's right? Back when i was a kid on the internet i forget what they called it but it rhymed with host poor.

    Oh vanna, pick me a letter.

    Where do I like the likes? How about adding a dislike button so hitting it takes away one like,and if you are caught over-liking you can receive a liking margin call. Hmmmmm Be safe out there boys.

    I just clicked on the like link. No feed back, no chance to comment. Just like the face book thing. No thought involved. Burro, I like your post but no long warm showers in to the wee hours. I still hold you responsile for kicking my GSA vehicle and that hassle.

    Ok, here's my take. Likes or reps are ok but we should show the likes or the reps on the stream line so it will show the most popular threads or posters. Also, I feel that there should be an 18 month phase out to keep more current on who's still active. Ie: some have reps from when they were contributing a lot more frequently and now post far and inbetween. Maybe the likes can phase out at 12 months after given and maybe more will post activly. Maybe we can have a 12 month phase out on thread rating also to show the active threads.JMHO

    Just a little reputation / like info since it hasn't been discussed in a while.

    - The new "Like" system is a simple +1 like Received, +1 like Given. No negatives.

    - The reputation calculation is a little more sophisticated. The algorithm changes as you get more rep.

    You have a reputation value and a reputation power rating.

    - The reputation value is what you see under your name and it is determined by other members giving you reputation.

    - The power rating determines how much weight your reputation giving has. Someone with a higher reputation level usually has more 'power' and when they give someone else rep, it has a more positive effect.

    Your reputation 'power' (your effect on other member's reps) can be weakened if you use use the rep too willy-nilly - meaning - if you give every post positive rep, your reputation giving strength is weakened.

    Although moderators can give negative rep, we stopped allowing other members from giving it. We tried it and we had some issues when a few people don't particularly like each other. They started giving a bunch of negative reps to a bunch of their 'enemy's' posts.

    Unfortunately, what you see is what we get. Both of these ranking systems are part of the hard coded software and can't be changed. They can be shut off or on, but can't be changed.

    I hope that helps a little.

    I kind of agree with you here. I give reps to individuals that offer info, advice and explinations to aid others in trading choices and finacial sense. I may not agree on their opinion or persay their trading style but very please that they are forth comming with info that can help others in their decisions. Now I will give reps to premium service guy but it has to be a save your butt thing or something they post for the general members. It's a paid service and they're held a notch above average members. Sometimes the premium guy might get more rep because the amount of advice he gives out willingly is above what is required by his service.
