I've browsed reddit before and from what I've seen karma really doesn't contribute anything. Feel free to disagree, but it seems incredibly easy to manipulate. I actually did have an idea for something akin to that, though. Maybe if someone asks a question which someone answers, the OP has the option to click a button which says "this was helpful" and the more of those that someone has the more helpful their reputation becomes. For instance, it might say "this poster is helpful" or "this poster is very helpful". Also, each person can only vote on a post once, or maybe on each person's posts once.
I don't actually know how that would work in practice, though. It is indeed like reddit karma (and certainly not perfect) but I think that might be better than simple total post counts, which are very misleading.
Also, for dealing with those ubiquitous kitchen threads, have the the security questions for creating new accounts changed at all? I just checked and unless I'm mistaken they're the same ones as they've always been. Maybe change them so they're a little more difficult or replace them with one of those captcha things.

Sometimes these +1's or thumbs up will be used in spam threads for jokes rather in the the music threads for reviewing tracks or giving helpful production advice. The places where having such a system would truly be needed.

Another good system that awards points is Stack Overflow, where users can upvote and select correct answers. I think this would actually help users get better answers more quickly. Not only that, but it would encourage active use of the forum. "+1" will be heard much more than "thank you".

- better mobile forum design/app and responsive layout
- more uniform signatures so posts are less messy (e.g. don't allow youtube videos)

Oh, Also on a side note here - at the moment it doesn't look like I can post in any of the threads in the new "Music Discussion" sub-forum. Is that being worked on?

Seriously? Are you still having issues? I' seeing active participation in there so if people are having problems I'll have to look into why that could possibly be occurring....
Again a Karma system i think could bring out more activie participation if done properly but i don't want to us naysay good features because some MAY abuse. I'd rather be a bit proactive when setting those up and giving out warnings if people DO abuse them.

Maybe he was referring to the fact that you cannot make fast-replies in that particular sub-forum.

Not to come off as harsh, but that would make me cry. This is one of those forums that isn't messed up on iPhone (or messes up my iPhone with lag or the like).

Ah, but it can be so much better! Here's what the forum currently looks like on my iPhone 4S:
Notice that the words are small, and you need to zoom in to do anything well. It's not optimized for smaller screens.
I'm not sure how the CSS is set up for this forum, but I'd gamble that it's fairly easy and quick to convert to a more responsive and mobile friendly layout.

Also unrelated, but the minimum character amount to post is kinda broken like I can basically do...
