There's not really a point to it right now, and no one really uses it. I think if there were a karma system implemented to the site, it'd be used a lot more. It'd also give people something to brag about besides the status quo; post count.

What do you think? Good idea?

Like on reddit? I agree. Let posters that provide quality content, in whatever way, have something to show for it.

Bad idea.

One of the great things about TD is the lack of a rep/karma system.

Everyone is on a level playing field at all times.

I would lobby hard to see this preserved.

No, but when compared to a phony bologna rep/karma system it's almost as level as it gets.

If they did away with post counts, it would be more so.

That's cause your rep would be lower than Hell (figuratively and literally)

People already take this place too seriously without a merit/demerit system.

Not no but hell no.. Amy rep system here and half the site is leaving.

Rep systems are for losers who want fake e-cred.

Do away with post counts too.

You would have fit in well with the #OccupyTigerDroppings movement

Yeah, like reddit. I think it'd be a good way to keep people in check. Too many idiot posters on here lately.

Sorry you're so strongly opposed. I definitely see your point. However, it seems as if there's no consequences around here for trolling/general bigotry, and not enough reward for those who are purely quality posters, but may not spend every hour of the day on TD to rack up post count.

Chicken(or other admins), if you see this post, what do you think?
