i'm on a few forums that have it,so, i thought it would be cool if we could have one too, it would add another dimension to foruming.....what say the all powerful admins?

I'm unfamiliar with this user reputation system.
How does it work and can you give examples?

basically, on the top right corner of every post you would have an option to either aprove or disaprove of a post, when you click on the button, a little box pops up and you can leave a comment too......so when you aprove, you give reputation points to the poster, when you disaprove, you give negative points lowering his reputation score......and the way you can see how much rep some has is you have green little lights in the top right corner....

I see one huge flaw with that, certain users hold grudges with other users. Whats to stop them from just constantly disapproving the posts? Other then that it seems like a good idea.

HAHA, but honestly. The way I see it would just another form of forum eltism "oh look! he has 12 negatives lets all immeditly assume hes a bad person before actually getting to know him or read his posts!" Elitism sucks, I see no need for creating another source for us to judge people off, having post counts is bad enough.
