Similar to that which is used on bodybuilding.com. Numbered reputation points, where every 1000 points given is equal to 1 point that will show next to your name. And when you rep or neg someone, you give/take the amount of points next to your name.
So if my rep power is 5000 and I rep someone who's rep power is 45, his rep power will go up to 50. If I neg him, his rep power goes to 40. If he reps me, then I get 45 points added to mine and am .045 closer to getting another rep power point.
It's a good system to have, honestly.
edit - Use your brains, people - if you even have one. Alts would have no effect on this system. Jesus christ....

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] jaythenerdkid People would abuse the everloving crap out of this. Plenty of well-known members would have rock-bottom reps because trolls would get on their fifty alts and neg them constantly every time they made a post. Besides, there's actually a like/dislike post script you can install (sadly not widely-used) that lets you do this to people without it affecting your forum life in any way.[/quote] To you, and anyone else saying alts would ruin this.... you're ignorant. Please explain to me how alts would ruin this? When you make a new account, your rep power is 0. It isn't exactly easy to build up a high enough rep to make a difference very quickly, so alts would not be an issue. Go take a look at bodybuilding.com and tell me that their system, which is the exact same one I suggested in the OP, is flawed. It's not. It's perfect and there are no issues.
