Xekrin Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Tanta Cinta Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) To know how much of a good Tenno you are I guess. Or to maybe let others know that you're active on the forums? Or to maybe lets others know you can be trusted!!?! Hmmm Edited July 26, 2016 by (XB1)OTF SERENiTY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanadra Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 It just shows that you've made posts that others find either amusing or contributing to the discussions at hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyEnneract Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 It's for the people who post a sarcastic reply or a meme photo as the first post in a new thread to get tons of kekvotes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnthesteak87 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) In General and Feedback essentially it's made to promote Gif spam, funny comments instead than precise feedback, driving mass kneejerk reactions on cheap arguments, etc. There're a lot of people posting 500+ "easy-reputation" posts per day to get the highest score! There's a Race going on! Meanwhile the Forum plunges and good feedback sink underneath it. Edited July 26, 2016 by Burnthesteak87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NPC Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Reputation is just an incentive to post useful stuff. Reputation actually giving out rewards would cause massive amounts of reputation seeking comments riddled with forced memes and "funny" sarcasm.

SeaUrchins Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) Reputation is another useless stat denoting nothing. The more mainstream your post is, the more ups it gets, 'cos the mob rules. P.S. at least people can't downvote. Edited July 26, 2016 by SeaUrchins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhekemi Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Forum reputation is the most convenient way to acknowledge a good post. Positive or negative, it doesn't matter: a good post is subjective. This is especially true when we don't want to say anything, but just read. We use it to say I like this, or I agree, or You made me laugh, or This artwork/concept/writing is great, or Thanks for answering my question, and I acknowledge your point, even if I don't agree. Cynicism and jokes aside, reputation says I see you. I acknowledge your efforts. Show me a human being who doesn't want to be seen, acknowledged for their efforts in some way, and I will show you a liar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
