Introduction
Users will issue both Likes and Reputation separately.
Likes can be applied to posts and will reflect the community's feedback in regards to a certain post or thread, while the reputation-value will include both negative and positive ratings in regards to things such as social behaviour of a user, his overall appearance on the forum and marketplace-deals.

In fact its Something like a Reputation-System know from Ebay and other Trading-platforms!
What will be the new "Likes"?
Everyone will be able to up- and down-vote users post & threads
There are 2 different symbols
1)
The “Upvote”/ "Like"-symbol
The Upvote Symbol means that you like the posted content. Upvotes are to be given in circumstances, where you think the postet content is use- or helpful for you or other people reading the topic.
2)
The “Downvote” / "Dislike"-symbo
Downvotes are to be used to indicate posts that have no bearing on the conversation, are malicious, or are useless. They are NOT given, if you dislike the user and you want to ruin his reputation.
How do you get more Likes?
There are quite a few and easy methods, for example:
- make a tutorial about something
- share mods, art, items, etc.
- create mods, art, clans, events, etc.
- help people with their questions
- write serious and understandable posts (doesn't apply in wibbles)
- be as polite as you can be (people appreciate that)
- Post stuff other people like
- or simply find funny things
Note: It is forbidden to beg for Likes in any form, also any topics or posts asking for Rep 4 Rep / Like 4 Like or similar.
Official rule: Don't beg for REPUTATION!
You will get at least -50 Likes or even get permanently banned.
How often I can vote?
Likes are a commodity, as each user is limited to what they can give; therefore, each earned is part of a limited pool that can be gained per day.
How many Votes you can give also depends on your rank. VIP Users are able to provide 8+ and 4- / standard users 2+ and 2- each day
Be careful when you use the „Downvote“- Symbol, because if you downvoting a member more than 3 times within 24h with no proper reason (Personally disliking him doesn't count) is considered reputation-abuse (which will cause a ban)
