What do you guys think?

How would it be different from the standard vBulletin user reputation system? I guess that unlike that system, each "prop" would have a fixed an equal weight. In the reputation system, how much each "rep hit" you give counts for is determined by factors including your own rep, and your postcount. The rep system tends to lead either drama (negrep fiesta) or rep whoring.

I like the rep system, because it lets people know when they make a post that kicks ass, but it also has some negative effects. If Bobo can code up something that's different to user reputation, though, it could well be awesomeness.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, I can see how it would work. You could probably use the vBulletin rep code as a basis for it, but what you're suggesting sounds substantially different from the stock rep system, and substantially better. It's not cumulative, for one thing, and if you don't continue to be awesome, you can't just bask in bygone glory.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Unless there were some way in which your total props for the last month (or whatever) could contribute to your member rating. I can sort of envision some interesting ways the two features could interact.

I'm in favour of it. People take the time to give rep hits on a forum that has that system. Why wouldn't they do the same with this system, that sounds as though it has the potential to be better. At the least, it could eliminate some of the worst effects of the rep system, while maintaining the better points.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
