Royston Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Maybe I'm living up to my name and being a bit slow here...I've tried searching this as well, so sorry if I've missed something, but I noticed a little 'scales' icon next to the 'report post' icon. Apparently I have 10 reputation points...though I don't have the foggiest idea what that means ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 everyone should have them by now also. Basically it`s a system whereby you post something, and if someone thinks it Good or Helpfull etc.. they can click that and let you know. it doesn`t work the other way around though, if they disapprove they cant give you Bad points or take points away. it`s a Nice thing Only. you may View your points and comments by clicking on your UserCP in the top bar.

Phi for All Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 And since Snail was so observant and bright, I gave him some reputation for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royston Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 lol ! Thanks Phi, though I can't seem to access the original 10 points (what the points were for)...no biggie, just interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyman Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 How do you give reputation points ? I only have the "scales" icon on my own posts. When hovering above it, it says "Add to Spyman's Reputation". When clicking it, it says "This post has not received any reputation." and "You currently have 10 reputation point(s)." Would be nice to find where the points comes from, and knowing other members points too. EDIT: Can't seem to find the points under the "User CP" either.

YT2095 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 everyone starts off with a default 10 points. and no, when I recommended this system, I was specific that all points and comments should be for the Users eyes only. this is Not about Competition! it`s just a way to show appreciation, nothing else.

Spyman Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 "comments", I missed that one, they should definately be Users eyes only... But how do I give someone reputation points ? I only have the "scales" icon on my own posts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I`ve no idea why you can`t see them, perhaps it`s not 100% fully implemented yet. I know some parts are still work-in-progress, I`m sure it`ll be up and running very shortly though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Try F5 or Refresh the current page. It may be a rendering glitch so even closing your browser and reopening may be necessary. Can everyone else see the scales at the upper right corner of everyone's posts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyman Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Try F5 or Refresh the current page. It may be a rendering glitch so even closing your browser and reopening may be necessary. Did not help.

insane_alien Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 i also can't see a way to add reputation points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 in that case this part isn`t complete yet, but I`m sure Admin are aware of this anyway, they`ll sort it for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phi for All Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 It may only be set up for Staff atm. You will have access when the kinks are worked out (I know, some of you *like* a little kink). The Admins often use us Mods as guinea pigs for their nefarious schemes. For instance, someone from the Staff recently set my hair on fire by using my internet connection. When I find out who it was, I'm going to... um... er... well, I'm not going to give them reputation points, that's for sure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insane_alien Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 why is it a nice thing only? i mean if we gave te more persistant trolls negative points (and made them viewable) then it might let newbies know that the troll isn't to be trusted. then again, its your call.

YT2095 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I figured we have More than enough ways to Bash and/or punish, there wasn`t really a way to be Nice in an official way. so This is it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 alright, i'll take that reason. they could still be public, it might motivate people to be helpful and get some good threads going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 it might breed jealousy or favoritism and complaints also. as I said, It`s Not a competition here, it`s a nice Quick way to leave a one sentence remark that you liked a post, it`s as private as the Other way which was to send a PM, but a lot less hassle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Severian Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I can't even find a way to see how many points I have in the User CP section. Maybe I am being thick though. I am glad that you don't allow bad marks, since I seem to bring out the worst in people... Edit: Though clicking on the scales does tell me.

GutZ Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Seem like there is a reputation system in place, but oddly only for me, I see my green bar/box and if I click it says I have 10 rep points. I'vw had this at another forum, so I know I should be able to rep others but doesn't seem to have that option. Also I never read anything about it so is this just like a glitch?

I was able to dole out reputation, so it appears it's been enabled down to the resident expert level, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
