I forgot to say that I do really like the rep system because it actually has motivated me to keep helping, purely as a selfish thrill to see my "rep" tick up, even though ultimately that's not at all why I do it. (kinda like HabitRPG)
I'm not sure if people are really that aware of it though? I have no idea really.
Facebook has made me hate the like-hunting phenomenon, but in the forum context I feel it doesn't have quite the same connotations. We have all probably actually commented on someone's stuff as well as only liked some of their posts. There is probably a greater history of interaction between the people getting and giving likes in general.
Facebook likes tend to be way more random and anonymous.
And much of the best crit I have given people from CD has been off forum, through skype or facebook or whatever. Sometimes it is just easier to talk to someone then sit there for half an hour banging away at a crit.
