delSol_si Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 What the hell is a reputation and how does one get one? Is this another e-peen contest? [IMG]http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss156/delsol_si/Picture13.png[/IMG] 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jondd88 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I think that is what the little "+" and "-" buttons are for at the bottom-right of each post. That is my best guess. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 If it works the same way it does on this other forum I visit, then positive reputation can be given to member for helpful posts or good advice. Positive reputation given adds points to your 'rep power', negative detracts from it. The more rep power you have, the more your positive/negative reps count when hitting the +/- buttons. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah hippie Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 is this new I don't think I have ever noticed the +/- on the bottom corner. and that seems like a pretty useless feature in my opinion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jondd88 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I tried to vote down a post that appears to be spam but it didn't work.

camelflage Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 i am staunchly against turning rep on here. it would turn into an e-peen battle in a heartbeat and this is a nice forum that wont support the flaming and fighting that comes with having a rep system.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delSol_si Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 it works now, let the e-peen competition begin! lol, i think it is going to be fun as long as no one takes it seriously...or, if people do take it seriously, then it will be a good way to tell if a person is full of shit or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcane Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 if used properly, i think it can be a good thing. here's my example: let's say you have a member that posts wrong info, unhelpful info, etc...yet, he still doesn't break the rules. as mods, we have the warning system but that usually only lets us know past rule infractions. with this "rep system", it would help us identify members who aren't helping this community...how easy would it be for me to decide to ban a member after receiving a complaint about a member and checking to see his rep at -15? also, it also identifies people who largely contribute to the forums and provide great advice and knowledge. honestly, as much as i didn't show it...when people recommended me for modship...i was sincerely and greatly appreciative. it is nice to know people value your contributions and your opinions. my suggestion would be to leave the system active, yet limit the amount of rep you can distribute. somewhere between 1-3 per day. i vote for 1 per day so people use them wisely. i think mods and admins should get an unlimited amount of rep to distribute to remove rep from people who abuse the system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] "thumbs up" j/k seriously though. on a few other forums ive been to like FF . the rep system would get skewed with "buddies" getting up on each others ballsacks and shadowing the people who actually knew stuff. although i never found use for it because you can tell the people who knew their stuff by the post content.

Tyler Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 The bad thing about this is that we also still have the star system. Some members will post helpful things and will not recieve rep and could feel unthanked if they do not recieve the +1rep or a star vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] i dont think so..not regs anyways..we were all here before the rep system and helped out whenever we could..the star system i dont put too much value in..because i see people with less then 40 posts have 5 stars and people who have been here years and over thousands of posts not even have 2 stars..i think if your a good looking female your automatically given 5 stars..lol so the rep and star system is not something to judge someones knowledge or how active or how much they help out around here..just keep doing what your doing, put in the time, help out, be respectful to everyone and have a sense of humor..sometimes about yourself..lol and people will knows whos good and whos just wanking there crank.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I'll just add this. My reputation speaks for itself. Good or Bad, I am what I am, and a popularity contest on stars and reps isn't going to change me or how I act on here. I do my best, if I am thanked, great, if not, I continue to help. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
