Feel free to discuss ideas about the Reputation system, known to some users as the "karma system", although "reputation" is what we'll be calling it on AG3.
The Reputation System may not be present at AG3 launch, but is a high priority post-launch. It will allow other users to participate in ranking your community involvement, to a degree.
We're still open to ideas on it, so feel free to share your thoughts and ideas, and ask any questions.
I think you should somehow 'migrate' the old reputation system into the new one without damaging anyone's pre-existing stats. I also understand the problem with the forums, keep at for last as that's how AG3 will be built in the first place.
Auran619 not sure what you mean about the 'old reputation system' ... we don't have a reputation system right now. Forum-related ideas should go in the appropriate sticky thread.
I think the concept of this system is very helpful for the site has a whole
And i agree with what people were saying " the more one person votes on one person the lower the value of his vote will be"
But the idea of having this will help other people see who is a good user a trustful and good mannered user and a bad disrespectful awful person so i would like to see this in AGv3
Oh i'm sorry. I got a little mixed up between the 'Reputation' and the 'Rank' systems. I guess the reputation system could be like what they have at Xbox Live.
We've talked in the past about whether we want to +1 a user's profile page or not. I don't know what the guys decided on, or if it's a future feature they're considering still.
I think you should be able to flag + or - reps on your profile and other people's profile. If a mod/admin finds it bad like -rep for reporting a user they can remove the -rep. If you -rep an admin or mod you MUST put the reason why you did that. That way admins or mods won't have -1000000000000 rep for doing their jobs.
I think you'd have to give a reason for it regardless of who's profile it is as people could just spam on people they've never spoke to before.
Well, to start out, we don't plan on letting you like/dislike a user in general, just their posts. But our reputation system will let us know if you start going through and just dis-liking everything that user writes just because you don't like them.
His letters are green because it's an admin, but we're not talking about green letters in this topic. Anyway, I think you should do so: someone who wants to give a +1 to an user, write it to an admin or a mod and tells him/her why. The admin or the mod decides if that user merits a +1. So none will give a lot of +1 to a friend without reasons.

cormyn has said that there will be no user likes/dislikes, at least to start out. However, if such a feature is added later, then there should definitely be a reason requirement.
not sure if i like this or not. i feel like karma systems just reward the most popular people in the community, rather than rewarding good posters. doesn't really serve a purpose either (am i going to ignore a good post jut because someone has low reputation?), except for people +1'ing their friends for +1's in return.
I haven't been on AG in months, just got back on a bit today and read this.
I'll be honest i didn't read it all.
But if nobody has mentioned it there should be a thumbs up / thumbs down or Helpful/ unhelpful for forum posts. which would also contribute to good karma.
