Forum: Forum Reputation Function

During the early days of the forum, everyone could give positive and negative reputation points for posts they liked or disliked. As this function was abused it was soon restricted to the forum crew only.

I would like to see this function reintroduced to general forum users as it could breath some life back into the forum.

It could be released as a whole to all forum users on a trial basis, or it could be rewarded through competitions or by reaching a certain amount of gained reputation points.
