If you like a post you plus rep it by clicking the thumbs up
If a post has -5 or less reputation then it will automatically be hidden from view and the only way for the post to be seen is for the user to specifically click to see the post. You can only give reputation to a post once (and you can't change your decision) and to avoid people going crazy and just repping everything and anything you can only give rep to 5 posts per 24 hours if you're a normal member and 10 posts per 24 hours if you're a supporter of the site.
Please note that this system should not replace the use of the "Report this comment" feature and if you think someone is trolling or breaking the rules then please report the post for the staff to take a look at it; the person might need to be hit with the ban stick. So hey, neg rep the post so others can't see the needless post and then report it just to make sure the staff see it and take some action.
This system is my first attempt at using AJAX, PHP and MySQL together for a seemless experience (no pop-up windows) so fingers crossed it's all working!

i like the idea of this and if you could find a way were it will not get abused it could be real good
i lke krimzin idea
"You could do as youtube does with + comments,"
there are several reasons for this for example if people are having difficulty installing a mod such as elsweryr mod if the community put thumbs up to the solution posted by the modder or a member of the community. it save the time of the author to keep posting a solution and bumps the post to the top so everyone can see also it means the author no longer becomes a full time help desk as most questions tend to be the same and some people tend not to use the readme and instanly go on the comments thread to seek direct answers
this is just a example and a idea i hope it makes sense
From what I can see, not a big pile.
Now I like, too :3
-5 rep, +1 rep = total -4 rep = post still visible
-6 rep, + 1 rep = total -5 rep = post hidden
the reason is that the term "reputation" next to a posters name automaticly lead me to think that the reputation score represented each members reputation score across the entire site.
Many forums have a global reputation system, so its easy to think that the nexus feature is a global rep system rather than a + or minus of a specific post.
