+Rep button on articles

[Maccer]

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:

I visited the Suggestions forum to post my own topic about the Reputation system, but I'm gonna post it instead of here, because it's somehow relevant.
The whole +rep thing seems to be dead for me I guess button is not really visible, or people just don't care.
For example, I see multiple utility/appliacation sharing posts, with 100+ downloads, and no reputations given to the contributor. And it's been like this for a long time now, I'm not sure that this system even works.

Cool idea.

I tend to not rep mods and news writer : they're in the staff so I guess they don't really care about rep anymore ?
But since this suggestion comes from a former news writer, it proves me they'd still like rep as a thanks for their work.
So I agree with this suggestion, this way i'll keep in mind to thanks them with rep
