Title: NEW: Reputation System.
Post by: goose on September 24, 2008, 01:01:43 PM
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

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)

Post by: man manu on September 24, 2008, 03:39:22 PM
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.
Title: NEW: Reputation System.
Post by: goose on September 24, 2008, 04:32:42 PM
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.

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

Are admins the only ones who can give rep?
Title: NEW: Reputation System.
Post by: goose on September 24, 2008, 06:24:08 PM
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.
Title: NEW: Reputation System.
Post by: goose on September 24, 2008, 06:58:57 PM
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)

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.

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! :)

Post by: ACAMS on September 26, 2008, 02:31:27 PM
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.

Post by: goose on October 07, 2008, 12:03:38 AM
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.
Title: NEW: Reputation System.
Post by: Resetti's Replicas on October 07, 2008, 01:02:23 AM
How many points do you give out on average?  I worry that it'll take a while for someone to accumulate enough.

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:

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?
