Reputation Awareness/Evaluation Month

Neo · 01-04-2005, 10:43 AM

January is reputation awareness month! This is the time during when we all make extra efforts to give reputation to our fellow members for the posts they make. In addition you can submit feedback on the system as a whole. Below I have pasted the current reputation rules. As you can see it really is not difficult to advance in level.

I'd also like to know if you like the way the privileges are based on rep or if you would like to move to an economy- based system. The difference is you would be able to purchase privileges with your money which may include new options like sticking threads and changing username font. You would earn money through rep, but also through other factors such as replying in specific forums and gaining referrals. Basically it would require more management on your part but you would in turn have greater flexibility in determining your user options.

Reputation:

Every member has certain privileges which is based on their amount of reputation. Please note that your privileges are not based on the number of posts you’ve accumulated. The rank which appears under your name is the only thing that is post count dependent. In addition, you will gain 1 gold star for every 1000 posts up to 5000.

It’s in your best interest to build your reputation as it determines what you’re actually able to do in the forums. There are four promotional groups which you can reach by having a specific level of reputation.

P0 (registered user)
P1 Bronze (500 reputation)
P2 Silver (1000 reputation)
P3 Gold (1500 reputation)
P4 Platinum (2000 reputation)

You gain a certain # of rep points for every positive rating. The amount of points received is based on the rep power of the user who gave you the rating (default is 1). Ratings are made by clicking on the scales icon on the lower left corner of someone's post. If you receive 1 positives for 10 points each on 50 of your posts, that's 500 points of positive rep for you. This system will be tweaked based on how often people actually give ratings.

You gain one green pip for every 10 rep and a bright green pip for every 20 rep.

The value of the ratings you make will increase based on certain factors. You start with a value of 10. Admins start with a value 0f 30.

For every 182 number of days, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.

For every 1000 posts, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.

For every 500 points of reputation, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.

Must have 50 posts before your ratings will affect others.

Can only make 100 ratings in a 24 hour period.

Don't you mean "they're"?

Neo, do you think anyone ever gives out negative rep?

Ginkasa · 01-04-2005, 03:05 PM

*isn't Neo*

*shrugs*

Plenty of people give out -rep. I know I've given out some when I fell someone's been stupid, and have recieved some in return (and not just from people who feel they have to have an "eye-for-an-eye" thing, but only return -rep, not +rep).

Acebot44 · 01-04-2005, 03:08 PM

I suppose that would make sense too. I will do that as well..that is of course if I remember to keep looking back here.

Typhoid · 01-04-2005, 06:30 PM

Im living proof that people give out - rep.

I remember my stint of straight red pips.

Stonecutter · 01-04-2005, 10:44 PM

Meh, why not.

BreakABone · 01-04-2005, 10:48 PM

I find it odd, that I got the most + rep for.. well I won't say.. let's just say I don't think it was one of my shining moments, but everyone else did...

As for me don't give out much rep.. if any at all.. too much work

dropCGCF · 01-05-2005, 01:48 AM

Posting in this thread has gotten me more rep than even the music threads.

Xantar · 01-05-2005, 02:08 AM

I couldn't care less about the Reputation rating here. Anybody who has made enough posts to build up that meter already has a real reputation to begin with. I don't need to look at some number to figure out whether I know something about that person or not.

And the privileges? Mostly just peripherals. I suppose being able to see who left a user rating for you is nice, but the rest I simply don't care for.

Bottom line: caring about your reputation rating is a little bit like caring about your post count. Doing it demonstrates to everybody else what a sad sack you are.

I have never heard about The privileges.What you said was either too complex or too simple for me.
What else?Since when? Oh you can, can you?
Aren't all little bit like caring about your post count Bottom line caring about your reputation rating?
How does doing that make you feel?
