A couple users from other communities that have the User Reputation system have said they like it and wanted to know why it isn't used at 5 Star.

With the User Reputation system members can leave comments about the posts made by other members. This contributes to their overall reputation.

There can be various reputation levels and titles for those levels. The member is then given a reputation title when they reach a particular reputation level.

Users can gain or lose reputation depending on how their posts are scored by other members who are using the User Reputation system. Members can give or take away points by approving or disapproving a particular post.

The User Reputation system can cause bad feelings among members and has the potential to lead to feuds. It can cause more harm than good.

We do not have any plans at the present time to use the User Reputation system at 5 Star.
