Thanks for the responses and apologies for my late reply. FWS has been my first experience with a repping system. I like the little green dots, and it is fun to receive feedback, but on the scale of priorities for the Website, is it really that justifiable? I'd say one could pick up almost immediately how good a person is with posting. All one needs to do is look at the post count and the quality of the post and one would know almost straight away whether it is a quality poster.
I'd also say that some of the green dots could be misleading as obviously the longer one posts, the more green dots one would accumulate, maybe the assessment should be for a 12-month period, instead of years, i.e. the reps should always be for the last 12 months instead of indefinitely?
