Kaith:



What's the difference between a dark green square nxt to a comment vs a light green..is it influence points based on their own rep point tally???


btw : on "only hoping to improve".... got it in one, and wear it gladly

You call it sarcastic and rude, I call it truthfully frank and innocent ( as opposed to peeing in your pocket) . How do you expect me to react ????? Cry??? So ppl disagree......I think it's healthy.

cheers

btw : if you think you're beyond improvement, I think you're beyond help......... for now.......... I was being sincere

and further to quote 7starmantis " your opinion of my is none of my business".

Ppl'll just think what they like............

Blooming Lotus, if you are displeased with the reputation system, you may be interested to note that supporting members are able to disable their reputation.

Otherwise, perhaps airing out or otherwise making public your reputation issues isn't really appropriate. If you feel that somebody is abusing the reputation system, please PM a Supermod or Seig, and they will look into that for you. :asian:

It has nice perks. A get out of jail card is not one.
(Pity as I could have used one a lil bit ago.) :wavey:

I've had 5 reputation messages. Three were positive, and the senders gave their names. Two were negative and anonymous. That tells you something methinks.

Ya, it does. They can't tell you exactly why they didn't like your post nor at least identify themselves. As if you're going to retaliate or something stupid like that. I just gotten my first neg rep point myself and like you no comment as to WHY (at least that much eh?) nor identification. :idunno: I kinda sorta know why but I'd like to know if I'm in tuned with it. Doesn't matter though either way. It's not worth making an issue out of it.

No they said why, just not who

Lucky you .... at least half of the mystery is solved.. heh heh

The reputation system is a neat novelty but I don't put much stock into it. I only takes one misinterpreted statement and everyone is dinging you, usually with out giving a reason or there name. I could care less if in giving the truth I upset a couple people, I am not going to change my stance on an issue just to go with the popular vote. There have been many times when I disagree with a person, and gave them a positive rep point because they were articulate, and polite, and presented their case with logic and thought not brash statements, name calling, and the popular "so and So said it was this way"

I check my rep point when I get bored, and usually geta kick out of what I see.

Yeah, I've seen this system on only a few other boards and I'm doubtful about how useful it is. The ability to leave comments here is nice and something I don't remember seeing on other boards. But it's usually too easy to alter someone's total, especially when it's low (either positive or negative). And depending on exactly how you're allowed to give/take points, it's possible for one person holding a grudge to knock you down a lot. Or similarly, someone could build you up, but I imagine that doesn't happen as often. It's optional, of course, so there's no guarantee that any particular post of yours will be scored or by how many people. So it's a very variable system. It's certainly not all bad, points with comments can be nice feedback, but in general I think it's best viewed as a fun extra. Don't get upset if your score is really low or go changing your views and posting style in an attempt to get more points. I think after a while people will be able to tell how useful your posts are regardless of what your reputation score is.

It's all fun and games and as long as those comments can't get us banned, go ahead and play and just get it off your chest !! Have you heard the one about Peter and Paul............. or the one about the ignore feature?????







it ( having low points ) can't really get us banned right?????:idunno:

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Only if you have more red dots than I have green dots.

(Thats a joke)

 

[OC Kid]

I really wish the person would have to have their name with their comments. It would stop some folks from being so insulting. Its easy when the person your insulting doent know who you are.

If the comments made are in violation of our standard rules, please let us know. We will investigate them upon request.

It is how your peers rate your posts. There are good points and bad points. See earlier in the thread to see who can give them and how often. It depends on post count, and your own reputation.

Michael,

What I have found: Persons giving out red, been moderators and administrators.

Some of the worst comments have come from them also, interesting.
When you get 20 at one time, it takes that someone special.

I have also found out the ones giving the green have been moderators and peers.

Regards, Gary

Your statement above is just plain not true. I just reviewed your Rep Points since August. There are several from Mods or admins, but the majority of Rep points are not staff. I do see the good and bad from Admins and Mods, but also from other members. It is not out of proportion and I would not protect staff, but bring this up as an issue if it was true.

I do not have any more ability than you do to edit Rep points and give a number to the same individual without giving whatever my minimum number is to other members .... the same as everyone else. I do understand why you are unhappy with the points given, but you may have lost some of the historical perspective since only the most recent are viewable by members.

Kaith and Michael,

I have got to go by what you say, since I am not privy to all.

Thanks, I guess.

My comment wasnt about the negative comments on my rep points I can deal with that. I like the idea of rep points its fun and interesting.

I wanted it so the person giving a negtive rep point would have to post their name. So if something needed to be clarified in the original post I could do it and address the person making the comment. Thats all.
