Like/Dislike reputation system

[Myau91]

Suggestion Name: Like/Dislike reputation system

 

Suggestion Description:

Every player may estimate another player by changing their reputation by 1, but only once, with a possibility to change the decision in the future.

So a player's reputation is the number of players liked them - the number of players who disliked him. It should work the same way as on YouTube with videos.

The reputation shouldn't be updated real-time so that players couldn't know who and how estimated them, but in several hours or a day they could see what the community thinks about their behavior on the road.

There must not be negative consequences for players because of their reputation. This system must be a carrot, not a stick.

The reputation score should be displayed very shortly in the TAB menu and every player should see their own score right after connecting to the server.

The one who first of all should see the score is its owner.

Why should it be added?:

There is a stick represented by the ban system which punishes players for bad behavior. But there is not a carrot yet.

Players lack the motivation to drive carefully, to drive beautifully. They install many different parts on their cars to show off, they speed among other drivers to show off.

They mostly don't even realize if the other drivers feel uncomfortable with them nearby. But the reputation system could help them to get what behavior on the road leads to real respect by the community. Players could show how good they are as drivers. Not mere words but real numbers would indicate it.

And it does not really matter if they ask their friends or VTC members to increase reputation. Even so, they would care to not lose it.

Adding something like this would allow users to massively dislike people's profiles, for example because many people may hate someone, they'll all dislike their profile. This is something we would rather avoid. I can see where you're coming from with this suggestion, however the downsides to this forces me to reject this suggestion. We may look at something similar in the future, but for now, this is not planned.

 

Rejected.
