Received rep amount indication

[Zombie]

We all know that people over certain amounts of reputation deal out more than one reputation points to the people they rep. As far as I'm concerned, you should add a setting to show the amount of reputation received from a certain member, visible in the "latest reputation received" bar in people's user profile. Same with negrep. People should see how much negrep they got for breaking the rules. There should be either a larger variety of colored gems indicating the amount of received rep, or there should be a new coloumn installed, that looks like this:

 

[HappyTauren]

Hmm, I think it's a nice idea.

 

[Linaze]

I agree, much better than the current system, now people can actually know their rep power more easily.

 

[Grim]

I'de like that

 

[Airandius]

Good idea, it should be implemented.

 

[Squiggy]

Agreed

 

[TheDivineBoss]

I second you all, so I agree yes.

 

[Septimus]

I support it as well.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Tru dat.
Would be easy, yet powerfull.

 

[GhostG45]

I agree with this idea as well. I agree with it SO much in fact, that I'm going to plus rep you.

But how much rep did I give you?! One or two? You'll be lying awake at night for hours wondering! Muhahahahahahaha!

 

[brad.dude03]

You gave him one because you have no repping power. Technically you should not be able to give him any since your rep is below 10, but the system is broken.

 

[Airandius]

You gave him no rep since u don't have 10 rep yet.
So, since I already see a whole wash list of people saying: I approve.

Let's w8 for Ralle to approve and do it. I'm sure it would be a cool thing.

EDIT: NOEZ braddude posted 1 min before me not fairz!

 

[~Void~]

I think an even better idea is to make it so everyone can only give 1. :3

But right naow i gives +3!

 

[Rising_Dusk]

No, actually, that's how it's supposed to be.

Anyways, the idea is mediocre. When your options for rep are +1 to +4, you can always tell how much you're getting from each person. (You can do the math if you really care) I guess if you're that terrible at adding, maybe it'd be useful. I'll see what Ralle thinks about it, since this has a lot of public support but I find it rather silly.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Yeah, 1 should be okay.

You're right, but it could also give information to the other users. The guys who don't know how much reputation another user had before he got repped. I'm not suggesting this because I can't add.

 

[Pyritie]

This would be nice.

 

[Rising_Dusk]

Ultimately I just have to ask the following: Why does it matter? Why do you need to track how much rep someone else has? We'll still consider the idea, I just think that it isn't useful. It's more like: "Yay, I can read a number that means nothing!"

Don't add it then, it was just a suggestion. Looking at the other posts, people could find a use for it, but it's totally yours and the rest of the staff's to decide if it will be added or not.

 

[Rising_Dusk]

Of course, but we'll still consider it. If it's a trivial thing to add, we may as well add it. Not like it hurts anyone. I'm just trying to get a feel for the value of it so I can gauge if it's worth whatever time Ralle has to put in to make it.

Not everything have to matter. Like:
Why has the hive Night elf skin? Wouldnt it be much easier just to have it all blank.
And you dont really need smileys.
And img options, i mean comeon, who would like ever, post an image! They can just describe it!

No. Some things, can just be there. They dont need particular reason.
Same goes for rep. Why are they gems, and not just a number? Wee i can see, that means nothing?

Did you even read what I said?

Smileys, built-in themes, and images are all incredibly simple to implement. They're so simple, in fact, that they come built into vB. Whoever made the initial smileys and theme made what they liked, and it was implemented because it's unfathomably easy to do so.

I'm trying to do a cost analysis here and you're making analogies that are beyond disproportionate and don't even make sense. Have some tact here, man, look at the big picture. If the implementation requires deep hacking of vB for something as ridiculous as a +1 next to a rep in your profile, then it's not worth it. If Ralle has to change 6 lines of code for it to work, then sure, let's do it.

Thanks for poking a huge hole in my in my balloon of happiness.

I will now retreat to the depths of the forums until a time comes when I have found the appropriate portions of duct tape to repair my balloon again. *vanishes*

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Isnt something which is made of 1 Column, and 10 rows or such, with numbers mostly as '1, 2, 3' and their negative oposites.

I would say that its pretty easy, too.

Agreed.

No one seems to think that this is a bad idea, and it hardly takes any time.

 

[Rising_Dusk]

You'd be surprised what sort of vB hacking is required to accomplish seemingly simple things.

 

[donut3.5]

I agree with the general idea here:
It sounds nice and pretty cool, but if Ralle has to bust a nut over it, then no. He probably has much more important things worth doing.
--donut3.5--

 

[brad.dude03]

Agree with Donut.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Nice edit, brad

And Risking, is it really that hard?

Its hard to imagine, that such a simple thing, could be hard in any way.

 

[HappyTauren]

Like busting a nut over Nina.

OSHI-

Sorry, had to be said.

 

[SuPa-]

Epic fail xD

Anywho, I agree with this
(but I'd much prefer the whole rep system to go bye-bye)

 

[Avex]

I like the idea, you can keep track more easily


(EDIT 300th post wee!)

 

[Kuhneghetz]

I support this idea too.

(Though I'd rather prefer the whole rep system either to be completly removed, or to do a total change to look similar to the karma mod for phpBB forums)

 

[Septimus]

Well, if the reputation system change for better. It would be a good thing after all.

 

[Hawkwing]

Keep the columns containing the positive and negative rep gems, and add a new column showing the amount given.

 

[Hakeem]

While I don't actually know how rep is stored, I know that it is often canceled. This leads me to believe that rep entries are stored with the value given at the time of repping.

If I am correct, adding a column to the output is trivial.

 

[Devine]

hold ye horses ...
wait till ralle finds out

 

[Vercas]

Support...

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Keep the columns containing the positive and negative rep gems, and add a new column showing the amount given.

Thats what i tought it was supposed to be?
Or would this completely remove the gems?

 

[Vercas]

Gems shouldn't be removed!

 

[Vegavak]

I can't imagine changing the rep table to display rep gained being more than a 5 minute task.

 

[Vercas]

neither me...
But, i saw vBulletin's administration panel, and it is very, very complicated...
i am not shure Ralle will can do this..

 

[TheBlooddancer]

I can't imagine changing the rep table to display rep gained being more than a 5 minute task.

Cause you have to mod the vBulletin system.
Look at what Risking_Dusk said to me.
(Kekeke)

 

[Vercas]

lol...
My head hurt when i opened vBulletin's administration pannel... So much messy things...

 

[Rising_Dusk]

I'll ask Ralle about it. Calm down and have patience.

 

[Vercas]

ok...
Patience is key

 

[Pyritie]

I could probably whip up some gifs for this. Like the +1 be one green, +2 be two greens, etc.

 

[Zombie]

That would be epic, Py.

 

[Hawkwing]

But what about for contest rewards? 40 rep gems in one column would be overdoing it, don't you think?

 

[Pyritie]

But what about for contest rewards? 40 rep gems in one column would be overdoing it, don't you think?

I was going to do it like this:

1 rep = 1 green
2 rep = 2 green
3 rep = 3 green
4 rep = 4 green
5 rep = 1 blue
6 rep = 2 blue
7 rep = 3 blue
8 rep = 4 blue
9+ rep = 1 white

I'd combine the images so that for the 4 green one, the greens would be about the same size as the current rainbow ones.

 

[Hawkwing]

Alright. Sounds good to me.
