So, what's the point here. There's a post counter that shows how many posts you have. And there's a reputation — how many times you've been upvoted/downvoted. What's there to balance and why?

It's enough to just introduce a limited number of birds in the profile, and no one should care how many there are in the control panel. In short, idk, I still don't agree with this.

Well, the point just gets lost in the birds then. I suggested removing the birds and showing the DB explicitly. And Nebok suggested bringing it back as it was...

Blight, who is a clone of either Nebok, or Reven, or both, points to hitting the first one 🥴

I propose keeping the current system of weekly BD reduction, but giving the option to disable it by purchasing a paid forum subscription. Also, add the ability to increase your own BD through donations.

As an incentive for users to achieve BD ranks, forum features can be unlocked: for example, from a certain level the forum editor changes to the original one, the character limit in messages is removed, the ability to use custom avatars is added (rather than the current free-for-all), colored letters and fonts for nicknames, the ability to pin threads where a high-ranking user has posted, removing the page limit in threads created by such a person (basically capped at 50 pages), moderator and coordinator privileges, and so on.

The funds collected in this way will go to the Creator to support the existing server infrastructure.

A true Heroes fan wouldn't have written something like that..

Everyone has had the chance to voice their opinion on the BD system. I think it's still there. The old system is most likely based on a few things: endlessly stuffing birds into a profile is impossible; protection from clowns with mortuluses; all previously active users would have kept a high BD, which would create the illusion that they are still active. In short, the old system does a decent job of showing who is most active at the moment. This is clearly visible from the fact that the top BD users are fluders — the most active users, then the C-students, then the rest. What would a system without balancing show? That a clown once suckered a mortulus for over 100500 BD? Just another set of numbers like post counts? Either leave it as is, or balance it down to 0 for everyone, including those with negative BD, which would better reflect current activity, or rename BD to reputation.
