Popular Post Joolz Posted March 20, 2011 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) OK, this is a bit of a community experiment and the feature may or may not be kept as a permanent feature or it may be tweaked a bit , but for now, the reputation system has been enabled Now before anybody moans about neg rep being given unfairly because so and so doesn't like me blah blah blah, unlike the rep systems you may have seen on another sites, you can't give neg rep here you can only give positive rep for posts that are worthy of it, there is enough negativity in our world at this moment in time, we really don't need to add anything to that vibe At the bottom right of every post you will see a number, just click on that to add rep to posts you consider helpful or informative, each click goes towards that users rep, the amount of rep you can give per day is limited. Over time its hoped that those who consistently post quality posts will shine, whilst those that don't, won't It's probably worth pointing out that because we don't have negative rep enabled then we may take action against anybody giving positive rep to a negative or abusive post aimed at another member or a post that breaks any of the other rules, and that because this is an experiment that these rules may be changed at any time while we fine tune things other than that at this moment in time please use the force wisely Edited March 20, 2011 by Joolz bloody typos 72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joolz Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 I'm doomed. It's not actually about you mate, or any other member for that matter , it's just about letting the community recognise other members positive contributions to the site, if a members posts don't attract positive energy then it might be time for them to look within and raise their game a bit oboy! A like button! despite the detection of a hint of sarcasm from you I'll answer:) In a sense I guess it is a "like" button, in the next version of the forum software it's actually called the "like button" but on a site like this I can see a valid reason for allowing members to rate quality posts in an underground world where bullshit abounds. We can't moderate every post made here for accuracy, well we can but it's highly restrictive and we have better things to do with our time so the next best option is to allow your peers to rate the info you post (and by "you" I don't specifically mean "you randy" ) Cool, was all set for emoticon but with no neg rep I think it should be good. I hope it's good too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randalizer Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) I think it's a lovely thing Joolz. Especially if it helps you folks work less. So do we start with a rep of 1 or 0 in our profile? Edited March 21, 2011 by Randalizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamma Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) So what about people like myself who don't post or start new topics too often? am i to be view'd as [wrongly]thick or unintresting unless i raise my game?

Joolz Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 So what about people like myself who don't post or start new topics too often? am i to be view'd as [wrongly]thick or unintresting unless i raise my game? who mentioned either "thick" or "uninteresting" ? certainly wasn't me and this is about posts made, not posts that haven't been made and it's not about quantity of posts either, far from it in fact, it's about quality of posts so somebody who makes 4 quality posts could have the same amount of rep as somebody who has made 366 average or crap posts and 4 good ones, other members can easily work out the crap to good ratio and help to decide if that members advice is worth taking or whether they should pursue their question further I'm sorry if you have read something else into it that really isn't there 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northwest Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 ]why have a rep button button at all? I was just thinking about it and I can't see much benefit really. More clutter seems the main consequence. I prefer less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
