Reputation Points

[Curo]

This didn't seem to be covered in any of the stickies in this forum.

How is your reputation calculated? I have 17 +reps, but 31 reputation points.

 

[WolSHaman]

see those little green squares in the corner? That determines how much rep you got from the person. For example, if I +repped you, you'd get 2 more rep, because I have 2 little green squares.

Ah, so the more rep you have, the more rep I get. Time to suck up to the popular people I want that custom title

You get a custom title at 100 points. And yes, custom titles are the bestest thing ever! After all, custom titles=great aphrodisiac

 

[Ghan]

Rep given by any non-Admin = 1 + (Person's rep / 100) [Rounded down]

Unless, of course, that person's rep is negative, in which case, they give nothing....

Admins always give and take 10.

Not a good way to get rep, try earning it by actually helping people, that was originally the whole point of making custom titles rewards for helpful users =P.

This rep system is also similar to other sites like The Hive Workshop or Wc3c.

OFFTOPIC: I really like to help people especially in World Editor Help Zone the only problem is I'm always a minute behind from other helpers and they reply earlier, but can request threads (you know, people request something from you and you give them what they need) do?

I'll be giving out a Weaponless Models Request Thread soon and it's unlike any ordinary thread, people can tell me which specific weapons to be removed, and also shield removal and suggested attachment models. That way people can +rep me whenever they need the model.

I've seen some spell request threads lately in World Editor Help zone and the thread creators received a guaranteed +rep from every user.

Well, the other request threads haven't been closed (I think), so I don't see why there shouldn't be a major problem. I suppose that's for a mod to decide

Reputation's not that important but its rep. Rep is always rep. Its how other users like you or so.. If they hate you or what you posted or what a bad user you are. -rep.

+rep points:

-- A good tutorial which really helped.
-- Being a good helper.
-- A good poster
-- A good art-maker.
-- Being hilarious.

-rep points

--Spammage
--Flame
-- Hmmm.. I'm thinking.

It's called sarcasm, lol. I help people all the time

You forgot one. I'd say "the -repper is an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about and doesn't have a good reason." Not that I'm bitter or anything.

Thats where all the good stuff comes from.

Agreed.

Also keep in mind, if you give someone -rep.. Odds are they are going to give it back. :thup:

I personally dislike any repute threads what-so-ever but I have to mention,
it's not the amount of repute which was given, it's the little message behind it.

Nothing beats a "Thank you for an excellent tutorial" repute.

what about a "Thank you for an epic1337hax0r tutoral"? Or a "I can't believe its not butter! Awesome tutorial!"?

Ya that's what scares me. I've seen lots of jerks that I'd just love to -rep cause I know they deserve it, but jerks will be jerks and -rep back just cause they're sore failures.

I think the creator of a thread should get rep when that thread becomes popular; like one rep for every extra page that is formed. That shows that a good thread starter is able to instigate a good conversation or topic amongst forum-goers.

> That shows that a good thread starter is able to instigate a good conversation or topic amongst forum-goers.

...

Must... resist... banning....

"Good" conversation?
Multiple pages? Its already spam.

Why reward someone for making it worse?

 

[Curo]

I just mean that if a thread gets to several pages long, there was probably some sort of decent discussion. Perhaps it's not the best thing for a helper forum, but it is a system I've seen in the past.

If someone spams up to multiple pages on a thread, they'd get a warning/ban, etc regardless. Or so I hope

 

[Monovertex]

Agreed.

Well, odds are also that they will not affect you, as they already have negative rep (that, of course, if you -repped someone with a strong reason... usually those guys get -rep from more users).
