Reputations

[Bovvered]

Maybe negative reps could be turned off? I don't see the point in them, just positive ones, so you either rep someones post positively or you don't rep at all? We've got the report button for seriously dodgy posts

I was accusing no-one - I can't see who it is...but it does seem self-defeating...so, how's your Firefox going...having fun with all the twiddly bits? Want some more?

 

See the steps I took to get my bank charges back.

My thoughts entirely.

[Tinkerbelle]

Does this actually work?

[caro]

What is happening with reps? Yesterday (day before that now) it showed how many points each persons rep was worth. This was on all of the posts. Today, this has disappeared and I have lost points and 2 reps that I had received. Looking again it does say Latest Reputations so maybe they just drop off after a while. I was proud of my reps:cry: Saddo that I am

Admin were testing features, but once they discovered what had been switched on, they decided it wasn't necessary.

[Tinkerbelle]

What will make my green box become almost as long as yours Jonni? :-|

[Movingon]

Post a lot and get loads of Rep points! LOL

[Tinkerbelle]

I do! Look how many posts I have made! I don't understand how this works at all...

OK... if people like your posts a lot they will click the scales and select "I approve"... as they do this more and more your green bar will build...

 

What's your reputation score at the moment?

[Tinkerbelle]

99..But it has been at that for a while now. I know that people have thanked me and that number has not gone past 99

[Movingon]

Trouble is, Newbies, n00bs and generally people who haven't been here long click the scales a LOT... but they don't have any "Reputation giving power". That means that their little dot next to the "latest reputation given" is grey - and they don't affect your score. What you need is to impress the old hands, people like me for instance

 

I just gave you a rep; has it affected your score?

[Tinkerbelle]

hahahaha......

 

NOW I get it!! You are 100% correct! Most of the dots I have received have been grey! And thank you for that..it has now jumped to 118

Daily Reputation Clicks Limit 5

How many reputation clicks can a user give over each 24 hour period? Administrators are exempt from this limit.

Reputation User Spread 10

How many different users must you give reputation to before you can hit the same person again? Administrators are exempt from this limit.

 

Has this changed?

 

I am curious as I have green blobs from people who have only made a few posts - not grey as previously stated. But no points added.

Also a couple of points added from people who have made about 10 posts (not 50 as stated above)

I would also like to know what my point giving power is? I make it about 12 going on days, posts and rep.

 

Oh and why are some of the green blobs on here bright and some dull?

That made me smile. Thank you for that whoever you were lol

Also, what does it mean when the bit which has "posts, location, blobs" etc is blank except for N/A?

I understand Husbandkhans but I have seen someone saying they are a newbie with the same thing.

[Guest NATTIE]

sal, when it says N/A it means they have asked to be removed from the forum entirely. posts advice given apart from bear garden posts which count for zero, some people have no posts at all because they have registered used info or potentially have links to certain organisations.

Blobs, i give in on.

That made me smile. Thank you for that whoever you were lol

**looks around innoccently!**

 

[Guest littlesally]

I think I give up, no-one who knows what they all mean is replying ......

........... but if anyone looking in does, please post it here.

 

Thanks Monkey and Nattie,

Well I can clear that one up for you.

You receive ONE green blob for each 100 points of rep you receive up to 500 points.

After that it takes 200 points per light green blob up to 6.

So in the end you would have 5 dark green and 6 light green blobs for a total of 500 + 1200 = 1700 points.

 

You are awarded points when another member clicks you scales.

Now the formula behind the size of this award is very complex with a lot of variables, but I have noticed that Mods give around 20 rep per click and other members give varying amounts depending on post count, age of account and the number of greenies they have.

 

Hope this shed some light on this part of the site.

 

Ps I use the same forum software on the site I admin hence the in depth knowledge of the rep system

 

I forgot to mention that the Black square mean that the member has diabled rep display.

They can still give (hint) and receive rep, but the greenies aren't displayed at all.

 

I'll summarise for you.

Basically.

= 100 points

= 200 points

So the more greenies the more times that member has had their scales () clicked and a comment been left.

 

You can view your points in the usercp, top left.

thanks Curly

Hi again Curlyben!

 

...Long time no hear from Stranger?!

...You are awarded points when another member clicks you scales.

A good explanation.

...Except for the very OVER simplification as stated in your 2nd quoted paragraph above.

 

This simplification, amongst other things, was discussed in a Bear Garden Thread a few months ago...

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bear-garden/108040-how-do-i.html#post1045042

 

An example being...A thousand 'Thank U' clicks by Newbies can show up as less than a solitary click by someone more empowered!

 

Perhaps a small point, I know...But I think it is a valid one to remember!...

Hi all,

 

Just noticed this thread, never really paid much mind to green blob thingies and reputation before, just wondering is there any other criteria to making the leap from Informative to Highly Informative apart from having more than the 250 points? ie post count or length of time being a member etc?

 

regards,

shane

[GuidoT]

You will change to highly informative and obtain a light green blob when you obtain more reputation, nothing to do with post count or join date.

 

Do not quote me, but I think after around the 600 mark you change to highly informative.
