    Re: Rep comments - missing!

    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)

    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!

    Re: Rep comments - missing!

    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.

    Re: Rep comments - missing!

    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

    S. x
    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!!).

    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 152
    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.

    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"?

    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).


    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.

    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).

    Re: Rep comments - missing!

    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.
