Reputation

Can we have a reputation system like some other forums? Users get the chance to +/- other users reputation depending on whether they've been helpful or rude.

The reputation is displayed under the post count so it's easy to see how reliable a user's posts may or may not be. It's not a perfect system, but it's better than looking at post count and allows some obvious trolls to be marked out for all to see. It also highlights the many users who offer their expert advice time and time again.

Some contributers are sometimes very, very, helpful and at other times very,very, rude,

The obvious trolls, like myself, are also highlighted since without the practical abilities we can only ask for advise and be grateful for that given.

The experts already stand out with their numerous and named, valuable contributions

FYI, there are too many asterisks there - it now looks as though the swear filter bleeped out the word "Barnacles", or some such.

Don't worry about it Softus, the ice around your postings is very, very thick and perfect skating on.

Unless you live in Spain or the Bahamas or somewhere equally exotic, not a chance!
