Earning by posting encourages people to not care as much about the quality of content.

An occult forum would just turn to circle jerk with something like upvotes. Toss in rewards and you've got shitposts.
When everything makes too much sense, that's when you know you've got none. It's this confidence in reality that makes me uneasy.

I've been on forums with "likes" before....i found it encouraged me to be more careful with my words and raised the quality of my posts. Furthermore, i found it gave me good feedback and let me know when what i posted hit the mark or was just plane jane. I"d be down for a "Mana" system. I think it would be a fun dynamic for the site.

The only thing "Like buttons" do is promote hubris in forum users. I'm not fan of them. People's lives start circling around a single number on a forum post. Kind of like a highscore, except in the end it's meaningless. People start focusing on the wrong things.
