There used to be a button on old forum of Ambrosia, you could give a +1 for good post or topic that a member has made. Since the new era of Ambrosia Community has begun it would be a shame to leave this suggestion behind.

What do you think? :)

ps. As i remember the old days (long time ago) me and Shane used to battle-out 1on1 who gets the biggest reputation on SN.  :D
Back then i was more like a....what you call it, FORUM WORM/SPAMMER. but with reasonable posts were posted not like spams what you see from replica lol.

If there will be any chance to add reputation button in NEW Ambrosia, then add a bar which will raise by the +1's you get for every good post.

You mean the ones that are under your avatar/name? Or the one where you press Like to like the post just as in facebook.
Support for the reputation, it has been removed and would be great if we brought it back. We can tell how the member is treated.

Yeh support this place is boring enough, needs something like this to keep people on the forums and spam.

If this ever gets added, better add time between likes, for example i made a topic and it was good topic or even best, Dominic comes along sees it and gives me +1 like, he wants to give another one but the forum tells him to wait for another "12" hours. Something like that, with time.

As long as it has interval between each point (roughly 20 hours or 1 day) it will not be abused by anyone.

Yourself mentioned a major disadvantage, many people can be asking others to add +1 in their reputation for no reason, just to get more points that someone else, so it won't actually show if a member has been posting good things in the forum, or behaving well... it will actually bring a kind of abuse. I think adding a plugin that allows others to like a post you made(not like you generally as a member, but a single post you have made) would be much better, something like this http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1890 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1890)

It can still be abused, as long as the time/point limit is over after a period of time..

We tried  advanced one before. It was working well but couldn't adapt to newer versions of smf. Maybe we could get custom version of it but that would take some time. We  definately will look for some cool upgrades on forums. I
