Reputation FAQ

[Hakeem]

Maybe you ought to have a thread to move these discussions to when they occur.



(...So I can comment on them without being off-topic...)

(...So I can comment on them without being off-topic...)

But Hakeem, didn't you get the memo? That is exactly why we have them here.

 

[Squiggy]

Hmm.. I still don't get it - why's there seven pages of discussions about digital gems?

 

[Rising_Dusk]

I still don't get it, why does it matter either way? If you want the discussion to stop, then stop spamming the thread asking why the discussion exists. Common sense.

 

[Squiggy]

I did not spam, Mr. Internetisseriousbusiness

 

[Ghan_04]

Next person who continues this off-topic and pointless discussion about this thread gets a nice, large, -rep from me and the post deleted.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Let's get back to the topic at hand, which is to, politely, answer any questions and discuss comments concerning the Reputation system.

isn't that incorrect now users with 0 rep can also give rep?

What is a disabled rep?

 

[Volvox]

About the first part, i'm not sure. When you get your rep disabled, you still have a reputation counter, only it is not visible to other members. It is for those people who prove that they can respect the rules but wish to stay out of the reputation system.

 

[Sergeant Ray]

You still recieve reputation. If it is disabled, it is out of view of other users.

 

[Ash]

Slightly defies the meaning of 'disabled' reputation, then

 

[Volvox]

Not for the point you want to achieve. If you want to get out of the rep system, this is just fine, only you know your rep so nobody can make rep-based prejudices.

 

[Hakeem]

Except that they can, seeing how you were able to qualify for being rep disabled. If I am to understand it correctly, disabling rep has a tendency to make people rep you more.

 

[Kwah]

Attached my latest reputation. Yes, you can see how much I have. LE GASP.

I've found that after the initial rush, I've received less in fact. On the other hand I have been telling people that there isn't a point to giving me reputation.

I've also not done anything really worthy of rep, except that BTNBranch deal.

Oh, and Pecker 'n me are just that awesome.

EDIT: I don't know if you can actually read that. I can't on this screen.

I have not noticed any increase in my rep income since mine got disabled. Besides, it's disabled, why would anyone care?

 

[Hakeem]

Because the black gem is awesome.

 

[Volvox]

Some people may think that but no matter how much they rep the 'awesome black gem', it remains a black gem. It's like poking a dead animal with a stick. you get bored after a while.

 

[Wallshadow_]

I blame Ralle and Hive Workshop!!!

 

[RaijinSpark]

is it possible to make a black gem for normal users?

 

[WraithSeeker]

Why bother allowing a user to change the amount of rep he can give? It wouldn't really matter to just give the user some extra rep for him to admire his gem or to polish it?

I think the current rep issue is fine, no need for amends. I would rather the site focus on the resources uploaded in the site rather then bother with tiny issues.

 

[RED BARON]

Disable rep... If thats what you mean

 

[RaijinSpark]

is it possible?

 

[Pyritie]

Post in admin contact

 

[RED BARON]

is it possible?

That depens one what you mean... If you mean just get a black gem, then just disable rep.

If you mean rep that count as black gem then no...

Anyway, it is not the subject to discussion here....

 

[Kwah]

Poast in admin contact.

EDIT: I was a page behind. Dont ask how.

 

[errorz]

poast in here

 

[RED BARON]

poast in here

Should be "post it here" and it was uneeded.

Maybe someone (mod) should clean up a little here...

 

[Hakeem]

Can't normal users disable rep via profile.php?do=editoptions > Login & Privacy > Show Your Reputation Level?

 

[Pyritie]

No, only mods can.

They have to request in AC so normal users can't use it to hide -rep.

 

[Septimus]

I already discuss the matter with Ralle, he going to tell ghan to implement it.

This thread can be close since it was going off-topic several times and the webmaster already agree to implement it.

Nice

Damn, then I were wrong - but well requesting it is almost the same as being able to remove it yourself.

 

[FrIkY]

Septimus, you're posting in a wrong thread, your post belongs here. Or I might be wrong, dunno.

 

[RED BARON]

Wow dude your right.. Lol stupid - I actually postet in the right tread moments before my other post here, and septimus post still tricked me.

 

[Xezko]

Sorry if i'm wrong to post this here. But your reputation levels guide is wrong. I has 4 green gems and i have less than 130 rep. D:
That can cause confusions. :|

Your posting the correct place... And its correct. Funny enough

 

[mjllonir]

Question! I'm sure it was already asked though, I noticed it's possible to give more than one reputation point. How do you do that?

 

[RED BARON]

Question! I'm sure it was already asked though, I noticed it's possible to give more than one reputation point. How do you do that?

Well that depends on amount of rep you have and the amount of post you have.

I for instance gives 3 rep.

To quote the rules (which is written in the first post of this tread):

Reputation Power determines the number of reputation points added to other users:

* For every 200 reputation points a user possesses, he or she adds one point to their reputation power.
* For every 2500 posts a user possesses, he or she adds one point to their reputation power.
* Administrators may set other reputation power modifiers.


So no need to ask really, but now you have your answer.

 

[mjllonir]

Ah now I understand. I never really got that part of the FAQ . Thank you for the answer!

 

[RED BARON]

No problem, thats what an FAQ is for

 

[Karawasa]

All you need to know is that it's worthless.

 

[Tleno]

Advertising for Reputation: Requesting / offering reputation in any way is strictly prohibited. Doing so may result in negative reputation punishments. Reputation awards in official contests are allowed.

Hmmm... maybe you should add that prommising to give rep for help or anything else is not rep advertising? You know, like if a guy asks someone to make a model or whatever he requested and prommises to give the rep for the one who made it, that shouldn't be wrong, right?

 

[Mulgrim]

it's implied

 

[Tleno]

Oh, forgive me, but in which line?

 

[Mulgrim]

Implied

as in, not said but obvious

 

[RaijinSpark]

is this REALLY updated? numbers.. FAQs... Fact.. etc.

 

[Tamerlaine]

Rep?

can someone tell me:
what is a reputation?
How can I have a reputation?
What's the use of reputation points?

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

You receive reputation from other users and its totally useless

[Anachron]

Reputation is basically the idea of giving users points of how helpful people are.
So when someone helped you you can give him reputation in reply.
The more that you help / submit resources the more reputation you will gain.

When you break the rules you will get -rep. (And maybe refraction points)

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Well in this forum it is called reputation in other forums it's just a "thanks" button :/

It basicly the same. From the number of reps someone has you can see how "useful" he or she is for the forum.
If members have rep disabled they are often just annoyed by it...

 

[orcyngiser]

could you tell me how the rep system works?

 

[RED BARON]

could you tell me how the rep system works?

Simple - Click the button below the user, write a comment then press the big white button below the comment to give rep. Also note that you can't rep the same post twice or give rep to the same user multiple times, without spreading rep around to other users first.

Rep should also only be given with reason.

Like shown in the attachments.
