ooooo rep POWER. I like it
Franck,
While we are talking about the various Rep settings, hows about a quick break down of how many points the dark green (and light green in your case ) blobs represent against all our names ?

You get awarded 1 reputation blob for every 100 points (200 points for the light green blobs)Originally Posted by RobC
And, the way it loops, it adds one to the blobs, so:
50 => 1 bar
99 => 1 bar
125 => 2 bar
199 => 2 bar
359 => 4 bar
Not the simplest of systems so I have added a new field displaying everyone's reputation score and power next to their posts!
Franck.
There's an A.P.P. for that!
Not sure I like it, now seems like I have a big number - Im sure some people will bring me down to size now The little boxes were much less 'in your face' maybe, 'subtle like a slap n the face' is the new slogan
Will there be an increase in sympathy votes too now simply because people rate low, I say this as Im tempted to do it myself now!
Just for asthetics - can you take out the "rep" from "rep power" - it will make it line up nicer (in my browser anyway)
Not sure that I like the actual values being shown here; makes it more 'in your face' and my lead to "competativeness" May make people think twice before dissagreeing with a "powerfull" forumite, which is a bit naff.
Might be better to see in the controll panel. We'll see; it may grow on me.
i just SAID 'in your face' didn't I, whats that..... quoting me with no 'thanks'!!! ...BEWARE THE POWER OF MY MIGHTY REP.......ill have to neg rep you for this ...but unfortunately I have to spread it about a bit first.....Originally Posted by Gadget
How lucky is that?!? Your specialist subject!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Originally Posted by Dreadful Scathe
I'm not sure I like this, maybe cas mine is smaller than yours but it's starting to look more like a computer game and less like a discursive forum..
perhaps ZaPPING and Ker--poww will be frequent comments in the negative rep field..
C'mon obliterate me
I'm 154 / 4 and waning quickly
Would love to help but got to do that spreading thingOriginally Posted by DianaS
Just noticed someone has negged you - down to 152 - but we can all look for who carrys 2 points of power and neg rep them too Did they have the decency to say 'Zapow' or 'Kablooie' ?Originally Posted by DianaS
hmm baldrick - 2 points eh ?
No me, No me. I like DianaS. Never neg rep'd any bodyOriginally Posted by Dreadful Scathe
Help, can anyone explain to me what Reps are please? I might have some and not know it! Or, I might not have any and need some (even worse!!).Originally Posted by Sparkles
Can I still dance if I don't have any Reps. Can I buy them. Eat them. Or am I just awarded them? I was once a Rep myself, does that count?
Checked my rep there's only positive stuff there, either I have an anonymous invisible negative repper, or it was a mistake of mine that I EVER had 152Originally Posted by Dreadful Scathe
sad eh?
In any case Kapoo Baldrick Just in case! Mine's bigger than yours!!
(Only joking, I don't neg rep either- yet)
Can we have kapoo emoticons or is it non-pc
You can be nice, which sometimes works. Begging or grovelling's good. Or bribe people by offering to dance with them at the BFG.Originally Posted by Liz
Thanks Baldrick, I'll try anything once!Originally Posted by baldrick
Thats an offer which will probably workOriginally Posted by Liz
Like DianaS, I don't like this. It gives a bit too much emphasis to the internals of the rep system for my liking, and takes up a fair bit of space. Perhaps it would be better to put that information in the "User CP" or the "Members List"?I have added a new field displaying everyone's reputation score and power next to their posts!
Oh, and a quick plug for an essay on the subject that I think is close to the mark: Gaming the system: How moderation tools can backfire
Nicely put. The emphasis shouldn't be on repping at all, it should be on the posts. Repping should be about a simple good or bad vote (albeit with comments).Originally Posted by MartinHarper
A quote from your link was appropriate i think - "When people shoot for the easy wins to earn [rep] points, it narrows the field of discussion and discourages minority views from being expressed. Members will self-censor, afraid of saying something that will be [negative repped]."

Indeed. Except for the few that don't care about being repped. Or the ones that know that their friends will send them enough positive rep (especially if they cry about being given a negative rep), that the odd negative rep doesn't matter to them.Originally Posted by Dreadful Scathe
In fact, it seems that mostly the people who post funny things (nothing wrong with this), or the people who rep lots of people themselves (mostly their friends??), or the people who post a lot (more than just one lines at a time!) are generally people with high rep (not to mention the people (person) who can set his (her) rep to whatever they want it to be!!).
I'm not sure that the rep system adds anything to the forum, other than a bit of fun. It does seem that some people do take it very seriously though. And actually worry about where their position in the 'rep table' is. Just make up something funny, possibly involving a well known film, and some members of the forum, and your rep will shoot up then....
As for it being 'fun'. I made the mistake once of saying what I thought in a rep, without really thinking. Probably shouldn't have done that! I guess that sending any negative rep will be seen as a personal attack, rather than a comment on what the person who is reading the post thinks about what is being said. Several people have said that they'll never send negative rep. Presumably they anticipate being able to agree with everything that everyone says in the future. Either that, or they're never going to send positive rep either. I don't see the point in sending positive rep if you're never going to send negative rep. Maybe that's just me. Possibly, it'd be quicker if Franck just changes everyones rep to the highest level, since that'll presumably be where it ends up one day (extrapolating far enough).
Trampy
Good points. Id agree with all of it, I dont think Ive negative repped anyone but I wouldn't complain (seriously) about getting one...except if you hate smurfs . Perhaps Ive been taking it too seriously myself but Im sure there are others who read more into it than i do.
