Convert Vouches into Reputation

[Tofty]

I personally believe we should convert Vouches from the profile/posts into the new Reputation.

Personally (and I know a lot of others too) I have loads of vouches on my wall, and my reputation is almost reset, due to the Reputation.

Please make a feature so we can convert them, it'd be easier for everyone.

I agree, but how would they do it?

Custom development or by opening a support request I assume.

R.I.P Support team. Everyone and their mothers would submit one.

It is slow enough as it is. I guess custom development is the way forward...?

Personally, I think the system should be removed all together. It favors newer, less reputable users. Many users who have done many, many deals are now equal to other users via this reputation system. Even over time, you most likely won't being 2x more deals then everyone else. Considering you can't ask for reputation even if you've dealt with the user, it seems like new deals are the only ones that are actually counted. This means that statistically, you should have the same number of reputation points as someone who joined when the system was implemented. This is assuming that you guys average the same amount of trades, of course.

There was never any request or out cry for a system like this. Yet, they are so eager to get it implemented and used again. This site simply does not need a system like this. You are able to determine a user's trust via vouches. This new system may only deceive other users, something that this site has always tried to stray away from. Many suggestions concerning anything reputation wise is always turned down with a reason along the lines of "This will be abused and trick new users". I'm extremely surprised that BeBosny never even tried to passing this through the community via a poll. It was simply added and I'm certainly awaiting it's removal.

This is technically not as easy and not every may want to do this. It's not hard to send a PM to the person who gave you the vouch to replace it to the reputation system.
