Hey, Halx. I used to post at another board that used the vBulletin thing, and there was an option in the User CP to turn off the counter for reputation points. At one point I received reputation from someone who had turned off his/her points counter. It showed up on my list of posts that received reputation with a reference to the post, the user name of the person giving the reputation and an optional short message, except it didn't count towards my reputation points total.
I am not familiar with vBulletin software, but would it be possible to disable everyones points counter will still allowing people to send "reputation" and messages that don't actually count for points? Personally, I don't care if we have a reputation system or not. But it might be a way for people to send messages of encouragement/agreement and avoid the forum turning into a big popularity contest, assuming that a lot of members actually want something like this.
