RE: Integrating credibility indicators on the forums
Hi, I am curious as to why 2p2 doesn't have "credibility indicators" (in gipsyteam, they show #thumbs up/down on their profile). This would be a great tool to increase participation in threads, as well as making it easy for people to ID credible members and weed out/ignore the trolls.
If anyone has any feedback please chip in. To the forum admins, if you guys decided against it in the past or right now, would appreciate feedback as to your reasons as well.

In my experience, metrics like those are too easily gamed and farmed. We usually use account age around here, as that's harder to game. If it's a con, it has to be a long con.
integrate a Token reward system on the blockchain... that's better than any 'click' idea.
There are a bunch of threads on this. Search for reputation or rep in this forum. Cliffs: most posters don't like the idea because it often becomes more about the system than the posting, and people who are strong in one area and get lots of rep points from, for example, their funny posting in NVG, don't necessarily have anything insightful to say about, again for example, PLO8.
that is why a system that requires an 'investment' is more legitimate. it's much harder to click someone if it requires capital.
otherwise just leave it as is.
