Hey Guys. I have just activated a reputation system.
Its just a system to reward good/helpful/nice members, and help new members know who the people they can trust are.
right now only Admins can give out and remove reputation. However if you reach a "rep" level of 150, you will be able to give people positive rep. When you reach 300 you will be able to give both positive and negative.
your current reputation is under your postcount. click the (http://www.bluepearl-design.com/forums/images/bo20/buttons/reputation.gif)
UPDATE:
you will get another green square for every 125 rep points. For example. since I have 10 rep points I only have 1 square. once I hit 126 I will get another.
This is just a test system, we may increase/decrease the values if we need to.
If you have an questions post them here.
-
Great idea...
For my delight or my despair, that said.
-
It is just green, is there supposed to be a number?
And alos, I tried to add "reputation" to one of my posts, it said that the post had no reputation, and I had "10 reputation points", but it wouldn't go down even when I pressed "give reputation"
-
I commend this system, i like it a lot. *applauds*
can i just ask where is this numerical value?
EDIT: never mind, found it, sorry. For other users, it's the scales icon next to the green light saying if you are online or not
-
the higher your rep is the more green squares you will have. I will post details later(not 100% set up yet)
-
so when you get 150 rep you can basically just give posotive and negative rep because you could boost your own to 300 straight away
-
I have seen this reputation system on some other sites, there you can give positive and negative reputation, no matter how much rep you have.
MM: You cant give reputation to yourself.
-
I tried that on another site of mine (anyone can do anything)
it became a mess. people just downreped people they hate, and the system became pointless.
this way, I hope people with better rep have better judgment and don't abuse the system.
If your rep gets to negative we may consider a banning system. We are still disusing this.

great idea. what are you two giving points out for? building skills? niceness?
-
Then how do we give rep to other people?
-
sounds like a great idea.
I dont see a scale under my name though :3
edit: nevermind it just showed up

Sort of similar to a warn system like those found on Invisionfree forums, except it works in both directions. I like, I like.

Helpfullness and knowledge
-
I don't have that button for other people to give them rep though.
-
I don't have that button either....
-
Are admins the only ones who can give rep?
-
please read my first post. You need 150 rep points before you can give out any.
those that dont see it need to clear your cache and relogin.
heres how:

-
Is there any way without deleting everything. What exactly does it delete, just the history, or other stuff too. Like, would it delete my favorites. or JUST the history.
-
you can just restart your computer if you dont want to mess things up. What clearing your cache does is delete your temparary files that are on your computer. Browsers do this to save speed. (they open the file that is on your computer rather then redownload it)
-
Okay, thanks.

I like this system. Something like this should be cool. I also like how players with a good rep can add, and players with a great rep can add/subtract, thus avoiding all flame wars ending in massive rep-dropping.
This, in theory, could also potentially decrease flame wars too, if people here care about their rep, assuming participation in flaming results in decreasing rep. Also, users with negative rep could be suspended for a set period of time, further decreasing the potential for flame wars.
I really like this idea goose :D

I actually think there will be flame wars about reputation.
But my idea is making a flame war thread only for reputation and delete all posts that are part or a flame war about reputation in all other threads.

Wow, a thread only for flame wars, never seen one like it.

Oh, well sorrrryyyyy.
-
Nice idea.
-
There's still potential for abuse with this system. But, I think it's worth trying.
-
I have seen this on a few other forums and I thought it was cool, it seemed to work out well so I would think it would work fine here, but of course it could create some problems as well. Nice to see a new feature on the forums though! :)
-
I have never seen it be anything but a nuisance so I didn't enable it when making the forum. I would much rather see the forum updated to 3.7.2, but I don't have the time or bandwidth because it will take an idiot like me a long time to do it. I smell my roast and it is almost done.......time to munch out.
-
If it ends up being out of control we will disable it. Ive never seen a rep system with "rules", however. I think overall we have intelligent members so it should work out.
urjak, you must have never been to rfshq. every thread was designed to be a flame war. :gawe: <- woot my smiley.
-
I'm with you guys on this, NP.

Oh... well okay then.

how come nobody has any rep points? (besides the little green square everyone has)

Was wondering the same thing.
-
Except ACAMS. If we're going to have this thing, shouldn't we at least use it?
-
I give points here and there. But I dont come here enough to give lots.
in all honesty though for the system to work properly it should be used somewhat sparingly.
-
How many points do you give out on average? I worry that it'll take a while for someone to accumulate enough.

Goose has red boxes, do those mean negative points?
-

If you put your mouse pointer above the red boxes it says "Goose is infamous around these parts" so yeah that must be negative points.
and i must agree that red will suit me better. :icon_twisted:
-
I am an unknown quantity at this point.
-
perhaps there should be something that tells how many points someone has. like i have 40 and 1 green square, and the next guy has 1 green square but only 10.
-
Where do I look to find a numerical value of points?
Edit: Never Mind, I just read Sage's post wrong. That would be a good idea though
-
Ignore this post, it was meant to be to the other reputation topic as a reply to S32's post.
-
Uhh,why no scales for me?sorry for bump.
-
The reputation system did not work well and is no longer utilized. Therefore, no scales.
-
um i think its a great idea
:approve:

Too late

Waaaay too late
