What wil become of reputation?
- What will become of reputation?
For a while now, the reputation topic has (re-)surfaced repeatedly with the the Codidact team taking a slight stance to remove reputation in the long run. Everytime this was mentioned, there were at least some commenters who argued against this motion. @luap42 announced a discussion thread about it [three months ago in the news for the abilities update](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/278234): > We will no longer base your abilities on reputation, but we're not taking it away (yet?). We've heard you loud and clear: some communities and participants want a quick "score" number. Our plan is still to remove it, but we’ll be thinking of reasonable replacements that suit all communities. You can expect a separate discussion thread in a few days. [With the recent header design change](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/280005), it was mentioned again, this time even in bold: > This is part of our move away from reputation (although we **will not remove the option to have reputation for now**). At least for me (and I think for some other users as well), there are now several questions but the biggest one is: What will become of reputation? Will it be removed? What is the plan right now for it? When and how can we discuss on that matter? (I would like to participate in a discussion regarding the future of reputation as I also lean to the side favouring it.)
