I’m on the side of wanting the old format back as well. I earned my fake internet points after 4 years of bologna and was a good feeling.
Pros:
People got an engaging experience through the rep on their post.
Seemed to not clog forums as much bc people would just tap a button rather than comment.
Served as “we love this!” Or “you’re being dumb!” Sort of thing whenever it was around.
Cons:
Groups can target individuals by mass +1 or -1.
Was painful to moderate.
People could potentially be “bullied” by that ^.
I think with more people added to forum staff (eventually), it will not be as difficult to moderate and you can just ban whoever causes issues with the rep thing or forums overall. In this age things are leaning more towards discord/whatever other program servers use, so forums usually get more serious things posted.
