Just a quick suggestion, add the +rep button on the front page for the writers of articles.
Pros
- Will serve as a stimulus for the writers.
- Will increase general interest in writing articles.
- Easy to implement.
- Will serve as a reward for the hard work of writers.
- Practical
Cons
- If you like an article visit the writer's profile and +rep him... blah blah. Same old shit. --> Not practical.
Edit: It would like something like this:
Yeah a bit ugly, but it's an early concept.
The +rep link would be linked to threads in this forum:
