After reading all of the discussion about a reputation or CP system over the last three plus weeks, the advisory board has come to the following conclusion. Most posters do not want a reputation system like existed on BM. However, a great many posters would like to have something. Some way to congratulate people for making good posts. It also was clear that most people did not want any 'status' tied to a system, and especially felt their should be no special privileges or private forums for people based on points earned in a reputation system.
With all those parameters in mind, and a great deal of discussion, we would like to propose the following system. Before making a final decision as to whether or not it will be implemented on BroncosForums, we would like to hear your thoughts on this proposed system.
This is the "High Five" system. To overview, you have the ability to "High Five" a poster for any post that you feel deserves it. When you give that poster a high five, your name will be listed below the post along with anyone else that gave that poster a High Five for the same post.
The system also tracks how many times you have given out High Fives, and how many High Fives you have received.
Here are some images that show how the system would look and work if we implement it:
There is a new button that will appear to the right of the "Quote", "Multi-Quote" and "Quick Reply" buttons on each post:
Note: This button is temporary and a nicer looking button is being developed.
When you click the "High Five" button, your name will be added to the list of people that have given that poster a High Five for that specific post:
Here you can see the full post, with the High Fives at the bottom. In addition, in the upper right (below the post count, join date, etc.) you will see a summary of how many High Fives this poster has given out, and how many High Fives he/she has received:
Here is a close up of the High Five summary information shown for each poster:
