So, we have reps now?

[XXXconanXXX]

So, with this new forum, we have reps now? By th way, what are reps? I know they have something to do with those little green box thingies below your contact information but what are they for?

[EDIT] Hmm, I think I got it. Reps are reputation points that you give when someone helps right? Hmm one thing about it though, if I'm right, shouldn't it be "Off the scale" then "Someone is on a distinguished road"? Because I 've seen brand new members with one post that have "Is on a distinguished road" and others, that have about 10 reputation points with one green box are "Off the scale". Seems odd "Off the scale" would be 1 green box.

Reps are in test phase. If they start getting abused I will pull them. Basically reputation is a way to rate the usefulness of members posts. I guess it is kind of like experience points in a forum Rpg crazy way of thinking of it.

 

[XXXconanXXX]

Haha ok. "Abused"? In what way? O you mean like people giving people reps just because they favor them or not giving reps because they disliked them? If you do keep them, you better change the reputation advancements and maybe add a way for people to look at people's reps. Hehe, The Helper I see you have an "Off the scale" rating.

[EDIT] Ok, that was weird. Your rep went from Off the Scale to On a distinguished road in like 5 seconds hehe.

 

[Mind]

Where is reputation displayed?

- Small green thingie, on the right, below Date, Posts...

- In the "User CP" ( http://www.thehelper.net/forums/usercp.php? )

I mean: Where are the phrases XXconanXXX mentioned displayed?

Mouse over the green box and it pulls a message of how much reputation they have. People with no reputation get the "Someone has no reputation here" and a few reputations get the "Someone is off the scale" and people with a good amount (20 or so) have the "Someone is on a distinguished road".

The plan is to hopefully get rid of all moderators and instead let the forum regulate itself. We'll set it up so that people with really low reputations have their posts hidden... visible only by others with low reputations. And you'll need a decent reputation to be able to see posts by the highest ranking members. If your rep drops too low, you'll get automatically banned.

(just kiddding... but I wonder if it would work hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm)

Haha *tear* you'd get cursed at and chewed out, plus the number of members would go from like 500 to 1 if you really did that.

500? 492 was the largest amount of members online.

Hehe, I used 500 as an example because I rounded out the number of members at one time, I know we have waay more than that.

 

[XXXconanXXX]

Maybe youw ere right The Helper. I've been noticing on www.wc3campaigns.com have been giving bad rep for the weirdest reasons. Someone gave me bad reputation jsut becasue I gave them a text version of a trigger and he wanted a picture...

 

[Mind]

Reputation points are senseless; Their only purpose is to make the members of this forum feel disliked.

 

[The Helper]

I don't think they are a big deal. Most people don't even look at that stuff anyway.

I see all reputation given and I look at that stuff and I have seen no abuse yet.
