Reputation FAQ

[Xerxes]

And to reiterate all obviousness for best_player_88 (under the assumption that Daffa's post is directed to his post), rep power == # of posts or # of rep.

Like now I'm about to reach 2500 posts, so I'll be able to give 4 afterwards.

 

[Razosh]

And this will keep on stacking infinitely?

 

[Xonok]

And this will keep on stacking infinitely?

No, read the FAQ.
The maximum amount of reputation power a user can obtain is 4.
Moderators can give and remove up to 12 reputation points and anywhere in between.
Administrators have a reputation power level of over nine thousand.

 

[Xerxes]

Lol I just found out from Doomlord that the rep-power received from posts and rep-power received from the current reputation points do not stack... if this was mentioned in the first page, then more all the reason to do this: [inverse]lol[/inverse]

 

[Almia]

It really doesn't stack. I have my posts for 2500 before I reached the 600 rep level yet I expected to receive that power. Well,anyways, I have now that power so it isn't a big deal.

 

[Xerxes]

Yeah, this sudden realization compelled me to post it.

 

[Daffa]

Possibly the FAQ should mention that rep power from post and rep don't stack (unless I missed it)

 

[Sky Green]

I have neither, so I don't care . But it should stack, untill you reach the max of 4 I guess.

 

[Daffa]

No, they don't stack, Almia's & MasterTrainer's posts a few posts above proof it.

Hi.
So when I hover over my reputation circle it says that I'm unknown quantity. My English is not perfect but shouldn't it be "entity" instead?

It says unknown because you're at exactly 0 reputation and no one knows yet if you'll be an addition or liability to this website, not that I think you'll be a liability.

I understand the "unknown" part, the question was about "quantity". "TuncTunc is an unknow quantity". Human being=quantity:true?

 

[Razosh]

I would say that's a pretty common figure of speach.

Idiom. The standard use for quantity is a magntitude represented by a numerical value e.g. 3 apples.

 

[TuncTunc]

Thanks for the info. Was just curious ^^

 

[EmoBrother]

Why I can't add rep for a same post ?
Sometimes a post does not only worth 1 rep but I can only give 1 rep, that really annoying me :<

That would defeat the purpose of having reputation power and it can also be easily abused.

 

[EmoBrother]

@ TriggerHappy, hmmm..... maybe you were right.

 

[Celaquil]

Reputation isn't about the notion of knowing how much something's appreciated based on the quantity of
reputation produced by a single individual, it's about knowing someone appreciates what you do.

Perfectly put. My exact thought about it.

 

[knight820]

Thanks for the info Ghan 04!

 

[Razosh]

I'm still curious to see what happens when someone reaches 3600, will they get a second golden ball?

 

[TriggerHappy]

Yes.

 

[Razosh]

Yes.

How far does this stack, does it stop at two or does it continue to 5400, 7200, 9000 or maybe even endlessly and how do you know this for sure?

 

[TriggerHappy]

It will stack endlessly.

Every couple years somebody has to make a new rep icon because the postbit gets stretched from users with high repuration.

Thank you for the usefull info.

 

[Ralle]

Haha. I like that explanation .

 

[Razosh]

Haha. I like that explanation .

Is it not how you would have done it?

 

[Ralle]

Oh, it is. I just like how TriggerHappy has noticed that we create rep icons in a sort of ad-hoc way.

 

[IcemanBo]

Hello there, wanted inform you that there is an incorrect information about reputation gem.

In thread description there is shown: 60-99 rep = 3 2 green gems

But actually it's onyl from 60-89 .. I recoginized this by my own account

Now I have more than 89, but here's proof: random account

Edit: Thx, Adiktuz.. I mean 2 gems ofc, not 3.

 

[Adiktuz]

You have a typo... 60-99 = 2 gems... not 3

but yeah, there seems to be a bug... he has 3 gems at 90 rep already...

 

[Razosh]

but yeah, there seems to be a bug... he has 3 gems at 90 rep already...

No it's not a bug you're supposed to get a green ball for every 30 rep you gather so you get one at 50 (for some reason) then one at 60, one at 90 and one at 120.

 

[Rheiko]

if that's not a bug, then the description is misleading

the first post *cough cough*

 

[Razosh]

They've probably changed it in the past and forgot to update this thread.

 

[Maker]

No it's not a bug you're supposed to get a green ball for every 30 rep you gather so you get one at 50 (for some reason) then one at 60, one at 90 and one at 120.

A green ball is worth 30. You get one at 30, 60, 90 and 120. You get a blue at 150.

 

[Razosh]

A green ball is worth 30. You get one at 30, 60, 90 and 120. You get a blue at 150.

Yet this user has 40 rep and no green ball, it seems you're lying or don't know what you're talking about, but wich one?

 

[TriggerHappy]

First green gem is at 50

 

[Adiktuz]

Here's the desc...

 

[IcemanBo]

There is no need to talk senseless about this. All is already said in my first post.
Or it's wrong in description, or in system.

 

[Binsu]

The description for the reputations are pretty much confusing and...

I think it is somehow helpful to see the image that Adiktuz just linked now but 2 green balls is not 60-99 but 60-89, 3 green balls is not 100-129 but 90-119, and 4 green balls is not 130-149 but 120-149.

I think this should be updated ASAP so as to not confuse the newcomers around that will look into this and...

@Maker
Green ball for 30 rep? Looks totally wrong and if we are to look the user that Razosh linked, he has 40 rep and yet he doesn't have a green gem or whatsoever... I guess mods also are confused at this matter.

 

[Rheiko]

the ones who know completely about this are admins

 

[Binsu]

Maybe but seeing from our experiences on gaining rep, I expect for the mods to know it very well but it does not matter anymore. And maybe you are right.

 

[Razosh]

On the upside we will get a new reputation system soon...ish.

 

[RED BARON]

Why even discuss this? It changes when it changes. The reputation one has does not become less if represented by a yellow or a white orb, no matter the actual point where it changes.

If you receive rep then you have been given an indication that you have done something, that others like. Even more important you've gotten a message with that indication. As long as that is clear and understandable I see absolutely no need to beat the poor horse over and over with a discussion about the specific color of this or that gem.

Heck it could be represented by cooked orc heads and it wouldn't make a difference as to the actual meaning of reputation nor the function of it.

 

[Maker]

Yet this user has 40 rep and no green ball, it seems you're lying or don't know what you're talking about, but wich one?

It seems I was wrong about when one gets the first green ball.

A green ball is worth 30, but you get the first one at 50 , not at 30 due to one getting the small yellow balls before that. Just like you said. You get two green balls at 60 as it normalizes the worth of the balls. 30 + 30 = 60.

 

[sonofjay]

Why even discuss this?

Because some users are obsessed of their reputation count and gems.

 

[Orcnet]

I want my rep to look like cakes again.

 

[Razosh]

I want my rep to look like cakes again.

I think it better were they to focus on making the new rep system look awesome, besides you got two big sexy silver balls, wear them with pride.

 

[Xonok]

I want my rep to look like cakes again.

Snowballs. Nuff said. (Wish I had snowballs whenever it is winter...)

 

[Rheiko]

Surprise

don't worry.. you have 'em
