I think it's about time the ROBLOX forums start rewarding good posters who post well-thought quality threads and punish bad posters who post spam, hatred, offensive content etc. One way I can see this happen is through a rep system.

If you see a good post or thread, you can give it a "+" rep. Players will have a rep count to show how respected or liked they are. "+" reps can help make people try harder in making good, quality posts.

You can also give "-" rep, but this does not affect your count. Instead, if you post something which has been "-" rep'd 10 times or more, an hourly forum sweep will get rid of it. This is a good way of removing offensive, spammy or useless content which does not belong.

Of course, this system can be abused. To prevent this, players who have joined this year, will not be allowed to rep anyone unless they've received 15 "+" reps. If a player receives an astoundingly large amount of reps, he can be reported for "rep abuse" which the moderators will look into to judge if the player has used alts to boost himself up and make him go back to 0 rep points.

I'm all open for any more suggestions on this.

Shedletsky has talked in the blog about a possible reputation system, but it would be sitewide rather than restricted to the forums. You could probably find his musings by searching "reputation" in the blog.

An account must be verified. If the join date is in this year, then it must also have 15 reps to start being able to rep.
I'll check out his blog. I don't see why someone would need reps for anything besides posts and games.

Looked it up for you:

http://blog.roblox.com/2013/02/using-roblox-models-to-expedite-game-creation/

"As it stands now, models cannot be bought or sold, and are free to all. That being said, we realize that it can be pretty easy for people to copy or re-purpose models (i.e. download them, make a slight alteration, then re-submit them with their user name tacked on), and we’re working on a solution. We hope to create a “Reputation” system of sorts, where users can earn solid reputation points for submitting original content. If a user is caught copying, he/she will take a heavy blow to their reputation and will no longer be able to sell models. That would filter out copiers, and filter in all the enthusiasts that genuinely want to contribute."

Oh, and my post count passed 7k recently. Sweet.

Ah I see. That's a good idea, but should be a completely different entity to the Forum rep system, if it's added.

No.
It didn't work on SPUF, many of the best posters get below average rep.
What makes you think it will work in forums where the average age is 5-10 years younger?
AND with -rep?

I've mentioned that "-" rep will not affect rep count, but is there to filter out and remove bad posts. Most kids will be busy playing games and not going on the forums which is filled with a mature and older crowd. What is SPUF anyway?

Stupid forumers would "+" other stupid forumers, and the low majority of intelligent forum users would just be "-"d by all the idiots. No point.

I think there is vast majority of intelligent people who like to discuss and share things on this forum. There is a much louder "stupid" minority though.

This is a good idea, except I think it should be like rating games is. You can thumbs up and thumbs down. Too many thumbs downs get removed in an hourly forum sweep.

People would "-" because they don't like the poster. People would also fight over "WHO HAS BEST REP" and this would start flame wars.

@Shark, I agree, but surely ROBLOX could figure out a way to solve this?

Perhaps make it so you must give a valid reason for your decision to up or down?

A "-" really doesn't have an effect besides being removed after an excessive amount of "-"s. It does not effect the rep count whatsoever.

I think rep is actually a good idea.

Emerson wrote an essay on that
