@tenbucks... problem with difference between employees and simple downloaders is that many-many downloaders are not able to close their mouth and are always commenting on things they don't control...
most of the times, when we read long threads about any subjects, we can see newbies or stupid lamers answering insulting things, or simply guys that know nothing in coding argueing about things they mess...
these users are known as "gods of the net"... they know nothing, but claim they know everything and they are in the right path... this is the kind of guys that really need to have reputations at low, so we don't have to bother about their comments... but we're in a free world, so we have to deal with everyone.
many times i've followed threads about interesting topics/hacks, and the mess that was in the thread was bothering my visit, so i stop visiting these forums... 90% of hacks discussions are not about the hack itself, but about lame comments...
but here, we don't have to deal with reputations i think... BUT.. something like the Trader Rating thing:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=65730 would be cool on hackers... each guy that release a hack/mod have it's rating activated, so we can rate the job and service/support... this would give some hints, more than a simple reputation level...
my other 2?
