I get a fair bit of reputation on some of my posts and I've always wondered, other than an indication that someone likes your post, what's it for? I mean, people have given reputation for agreeing with your statements or feedback, because they find your post amusing, they want to show support for your ideas or fan concepts.
These are all great reasons but I'm curious if it is used for anything official. What I mean by that is, for example, in a rework concept thread, if your post gets 100 's would DE consider your thoughts more closely? Or do you think it matters not at all? Is reputation just another form of social standing as 'Likes' are in social media and doesn't mean a whole lot because it is so easily and freely given?
I mean I could literally go through every thread and like every post, good or bad, and it doesn't really affect much. Of course, I always smile whenever I get reputation because I'm happy someone found my post worthy of that extra step of clicking the heart.
That's all, comment your thoughts or allow this thread to fall into obscurity with all the others.
