The option to re-enable always exists. NOOOOO LEOOOOO!!!!! Why did you do this!? I haven't been on the forum for a while, and I just discovered this, but IMO reputation, or likes or however you wanna call it, was a really useful tool, it helped me more than once to spot really high quality comments (or as you would call them: golden nuggets) that I wouldn't have otherwise read. Do you think people really identified with their ranks?? Cause I couldn't care less, I don't even remember what mine was... but please, consider taking reputation back, maybe not as "reputation" which feeds a certain user rank. Ranks are indeed kind of useless, but please give us an option to say, "Hey, this is a really valuable contribution". Thanks! @Leo Gura I really hope you read this... Edit: maybe even without the option of seeing who liked it. Edited January 27, 2018 by Mondsee "Es gibt die Wahrheit, mein Lieber! Aber die ,Lehre', die du begehrst [...], die gibt es nicht.

Posted January 27, 2018 Maybe enable post reputation, sort of like on Quora. If that's possible. They don't allow you to sort answers by their popularity, but show the amount of views and likes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen quite a few posts here saying this. Yes, I agree that rep points do help a lot in certain ways. However, if you are looking for very nuanced info, this may not help at all.

Posted March 12, 2018 I didnt read all, but I have to say that it bad that i cant like posts or show to the good people who answered that i agree, i have to quoute or to answer to them and that is unpractical and also makes the post unnecessery bigger and less practical for other users to read ( we get bigger topics but one like or agree button could change that) also the agree or like must not be visible for other people, it enought that I know it and the person who wrote the answer... maybe there can be more buttons, like, dont like, agree, totaly disagree or whatever people suggested, Leo you choose at the end... peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 27, 2018 I was wondering why there was no like button, been wanting to use one. looks like I was late to the party, doh! I resonate with the idea of a like button and only the user having the ability to see the count. But that's just what I would like, I see no harm in an ego boost every now and then. btw, is there a way to change my "newbie" rank? just wondering... others have nothing but hyphens ---- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 30, 2018 Hey @Leo Gura, When will you go all the way and supress the post count too ? God is love Whoever lives in love lives in God And God in them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) 2 hours ago, Shin said: Hey @Leo Gura, When will you go all the way and supress the post count too ? Why? I think the 'number of posts' variable can be (but isn't always) actually telling or demonstrative of how much work people are putting into Personal Development. It's a useful and good variable to know; namely, "That dude posted a bunch of stuff, he's really into this work and has done a lot of it." You wanna strip everybody down to their underwear but the fact remains that we're not all equal on here. Some of us work way harder than others do on this stuff, and why not let people know that? I have more posts than Leo does on here! I've worked my ass off on this, and you want to make me appear to be equal to some noob? Fine by me, but I think that does the Forum a disservice. The fact is we're not all equal on here. And your Stage Green attempt at forced equality just hurts the Forum because it tries to blind the facts on the ground, the reality on the ground. We're not all equal on here: We span a spectrum from total noob to the insanely advanced. And you will not be able to conceal that by stripping everything out, all you do is make the information harder to learn by people who aren't active on here a lot. I think people should have some sense of who they're dealing with on here, because not everybody has the time to stay on here long enough to figure that out, which they do figure out anyway if they're active on here for any length of time. So, although I think you mean well, I do not think your proposal helps the Forum, I think it helps conceal facts which restricts information that the occasional visitor to this Forum, not the regulars, may want to know. Experience and demonstrated work matter. People should know the following: (1) what they're dealing with, (2) what they're walking into, (3) and who they're dealing with.

Because it's the same thing as reputation points ---> People thinking you are more important/experienced because you have a higher "count" than them/other. Except in this case it's even worse, because you just need to post a lot. @Joseph Maynor I hope you're joking Edited September 30, 2018 by Shin God is love Whoever lives in love lives in God And God in them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 30, 2018 Just now, Outer said: Yes, I don't really want it either. I bet Leo doesn't want it either. Those multiple digit thousand numbers look really good and especially after you reach a new number. I Don't really care that much anymore, but I Don't want people to judge the quality of a post because of a number attached to the op. It doesn't mean anything except that the op is either old on the board/post a lot or both. Either case it doesn't mean the posts of the op are more meaningful than others. Not only that but it doesn't mean the op knows what he's talking about, nor that it means he's more "Advanced" either, that's total bullshit God is love Whoever lives in love lives in God And God in them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 30, 2018 Or remove post count and introduce a reformed rep point system. Someone needs to make a poll about this Spirituality is any movement towards the Unnamable. Everything is spiritual. The only true way out Resistance is going into it because any way out of it is staying in it. The purest life possible is surrendering to the Absolute.

Pure Democracy has obvious limitations. Nobody but Leo can make this decision, and to not see that is kinda naive in my opinion. This is Leo's Forum; that needs to fully percolate through to you, no matter what your Thoughts may want. Without Leo's leadership, this Forum would be nada, it would not exist! One man is responsible for this Forum, as much as your inclination towards Democracy and collectivism might want to obscure.
