Reputation FAQ

[RED BARON]

So how long one rep takes to go away?

If you refer to the oldest one mentioned by Ralle, then the answer is the 24 hours. If you mean negative rep, never - same for positive.

 

[Warseeker]

Just a small correction here :

Reputation may not be awarded in the Off-Topic, Introductions, and Something Else forums (except for moderator-imposed penalties).

It is obvious that regular users can give rep in OT and Introduction threads too, you should correct that ^^.

Just a small correction here :

Fixed.

 

[Jaina Proudless]

Users may only give 10 reputation awards per day.

Is this like a rule that can be broken or a built in restriction?
Well I don't know what it is supposed to be but whatever it is it's not really working since I gave a whole lot more +rep in a day than just 10 last week.

No you can only give reputation 10 times a day, this isn't affected by how much rep you give at a time.

Well that doesn't seem to be true since I gave it more than 10 rep a day. That's what I am saying there seems to be a bug or something.

Try it yourself go to the model section and start giving out rep left and right until your mouse-hand gets sore (they all deserve it anyway). I just gave out rep 13 times for models and 1 more time to you.

See the note in the top of the first thread. Since we migrated and got a new rep system, the info in this thread isn't up to date.

We'll edit the thread with the new info when we've decided if we're making any changes to the system.

 

[ShadowBladeX]

I have 3 rep but it shows the no rep ball(ball,orb,etc.)

 

[Ralle]

Right, which is why we need to update it

 

[ShadowBladeX]

Oh!! thanks for the info Ralle

 

[Razosh]

Sorry if I've missed something rather obvious but I'm guessing it's no coincidence can now only give out 1 rep instead of 2,3 and 4?

 

[Ralle]

Yeah, that's how it is for the time being.

 

[Tleno]

So it's kinda really similar to, um, Reddit's karma now? Btw, on unrelated note, while rep system works, seems profile pages offer a Likes indicator that doesn't appear to have any use.

 

[deepstrasz]

What's the use/logic of giving people 0 rep? I mean it's either - or +. 0 doesn't make sense as that message given in a rep way can just be PMed or written in the visitor box...

We basically never use it nowadays, but it had at least two functions in the past. 1) To prevent people from creating new accounts just to rep boost themselves (you could only give blank rep until you had ten rep points yourself). 2) As warnings, when neg rep was still on the table as penalty for rule violations, because it was quicker than sending out individual PMs, and not as harsh as actual rep deduction.

Can I ask why I can't give rep to some posts, while others can? The button 'Give Reputation' only appears for me in the OPs of the resource section.

I have this problem because of Firefox's flash or some plugin issue. In threads where people embedded many videos there's no rep button for me to press.

That would be interesting to know, I have no idea as it has never occurred to me it does seem that it's either locked away by rep or amount of posts, though I have no idea and it could just be some bug.

 

[AGD]

Hmm, maybe there is a required amount of reputation points before someone can give rep to certain posts like this comment?

PS: Btw, I'm using chrome.

 

[Razosh]

PS: Btw, I'm using chrome.

That could be the issue, I myself am using Firefox.

 

[AGD]

But deepstrasz said he's having the problem because he's using Firefox.

From what I remember, the chief also uses Chrome so it might not be because of that.

The system allows users to give reputation to the same user again (=/=post; you can't give multiple rep points to the same post) after other (different) users are given rep to.

But deepstrasz said he's having the problem because he's using Firefox.

Yes, Firefox is what I use and it even crashes when I try to load certain pages from site like Blizzard.com. Weird.

Seems I was wrong.

Nope you can give rep to the same guy if you want but you have to spread rep to 5 other users first. I'd rather have a 48 hour marker but both works.

Strange to say the least, I have never had those issues and I've used firefox for what must be a decade at least by now...

It's what I wrote dude

Truth be told, I haven't tried reinstalling it yet.

I'd rather not. I'm moody so, you might just won't get the rep later

If you want to give rep to other things that are not resources,click on the little +sign next to the person's other rep balls,underneath their avatars.

Oh that was the issue... should have been able to make that out...

Thanks, I didn't even saw that + sign before. How am I so blind? =D

 

[Hotwer]

Could please update the new reputation system? At least the ranks, just to be sure about the amounts.

 

[Rheiko]

You can see the current rep system in this thread.
But it seems the rep power has changed. However, for the ranks, it's still the same.

 

[Michael the Boombringer]

Let's see a random post.
Where is the "Give Reputation" button?

If you're on mobile, turn your phone sideways and you can see the [+] reputation button.

 

[Michael the Boombringer]

ty

 

[Ralle]

Oh fuck. I hadn't even thought of that :S.

 

[IcemanBo]

It's up to date again.

 

[deepstrasz]

It's up to date again.

Users can't give negative rep points but they can give 0 and some people are actually affected by it

 

[RED BARON]

Hehe, I would find a zero point rep somewhat annoying, but only from an OCD angle. I guess it also allows for some gratitude or comments from those without the ability to give 1 (if those even exists) or those who don't feel that 1 is appropriate, but still want to note a thanks.

 

[pyf]

Maybe more information will be added to the OP over time.

 

[DanielleLittle25]

Sorry, I'm new here. How does it work? I've just known about this reputation system.

 

[pyf]

Have you read the first post of this thread already?

 

[DanielleLittle25]

Oh, yeah! Thank you a lot for the navigation.

 

[Epic Producer]

My reputation is over 6 but why did its texture of gem not changed

 

[PrinceYaser]

I think we don't have that over 6 yellow gem anymore. Your gem will be green when you receive 30 rep points.

 

[Epic Producer]

Okie thanks

 

[KILLCIDE]

Updated original post with the newer gems!

 

[SeedinAethyr]

I didn't know we even had visible negative reputation anymore. For example, I remember @inverted famously had negative reputation but now it just shows he has 0 reputation.

He did get a lot of rep after he vanished from hive.. might be why.

 

[SonsOfSami]

Hello,
Is there a reason i can't give more than 1 reputation point? it always says "maximum:1"

 

[Daffa]

Get more post or reputation to gain additional point of power. Cap is 4.
