BYOAC Needs a Karma/Rep System

How many days did we have the toy for? When it's new and shiny it's going to get played with, once that passes it settles into a useful too. What was the damage? A few extra rep here and there?
Here's a new idea:
Under the avatar list the number of post likes a person has and their number of followers. Between those two numbers I think it could be useful. People see Ond or Pixel poking around and notice they have a few thousand followers it's gets a message across that they're doing some cool stuff. People see PL1 with a few thousand post likes and they know he puts out good poop. Likes linked to posts, followers linked to users. No dislike, no DO NOT FOLLOW, keep it positive.
Sure I'll follow my friends and like good posts, that's the idea - that way it creates a useful web of information.

wishful thinking. there aren't a few thousand active people, and sounds like a lot of work and we know how the administration feels about work :) :cheers:
The core issue is, the rep is supposed to be some sort of beacon of who is worth listening to. If you're on the boards for more than a week you sort of figure that out on your own. If its not supposed to shine the light on the good apples then it does only serve as some sort of epeen thing, not an epee that's a sword. Id rather them make a separate BST section for vendors (even a sub forum under the BST section). Its a pain in the dickhole to scroll down 2 pages to get to the new posts after all the damn stickies, that or trim the ---fudgesicle--- out of the stickies.
When it comes down to it, I don't have a dog in this fight. I am a somewhat helpful fellah who is also a part time ---uvula---, not a great apple, but certainly not a terrible one.

I somewhat agree -- I feel like I've been swimming in a septic tank for Up-voting you after unsuccessfully trying to restore your Reputation score. :P
I solemnly promise to never Up-vote you again, :tool:.

I feel like a dick because I was going around upvoting people for giving constructive criticism , good technical advice, etc when I guess I was just supposed to be randomly upping people and finding ways to downvote others.

Oh God. First ebay switches to the twitter/facebook jargon and now it's coming to BYOAC?
I didn't come here to "follow" anyone, or have them get annoyed that they "followed" me, but I didn't "follow" them back.
Please make it stop.

Yeah, I don't think we need "followers".
Being able to give a post some karma/rep/like would be good enough for me.
Vigo:
If everyone is getting all namby pamby about a made up number, maybe there is a way to break down the meaning so it isn't interpreted as a popularity contest. Do something like a vote count for "Helpful Post" and another for "Funny Post" and give all you brownie scouts nice little badges when you hit certain vote counts.
