Have fun! :)

The green block under your info. Give somebody reputation by clicking the scale near the bottom of their post box. ;)

[Carlfloydfan]

Can you see the comments others make about you or who gives you rep?

LMFAO.

Good shit guys.

In all seriousness, I do have some questions about this.

First, I found this in the FAQ section:

How much reputation is given? What is reputation power?

If the administrator has enabled this, the amount of reputation that each user will give (or take away if negative) is shown in the user's posts as 'Reputation Power'. The value of the reputation power is determined by the administrator and may increase over time depending on the settings they have applied.

Is this feature activated for the HF? If so, is this indicated by the little green jewels or is that separate and solely used as a visual guide to somebody's karmic balance on HF?

Also, would it be inappropriate to ask what kind of changes have been made to the functions of this service to keep it from becoming a form of harassment as I feel it did the last time it was implemented?

This is all I have for now, though I think I had more earlier. :confused:

well I can't give negative reputation, I don't know about anybody else but it would be pretty hard to harass somebody with positive rep :cheers2:

[TheChaosFactor]

You're too new to give negative rep, I'm pretty sure.

[natural philosophy]

everybody give me as much negative rep as possible

thanks

[legal_rasta]

can i give negative points?

I can now, but like 10 minutes ago i wasnt able too

[blackcat666]

thank you skip for turning the user rep on.

[Jedite83]

I know int he reply to a post page I can rate the thread, but HOW do I leave rep for users? I'm just not seeing it.

Below a users post count and over to the left is a old school silver scale looking thing. Click it. Dunno about yours, but mine just is a little mini pop up with an optional comment box. Have fun....

[Enraged Angel]

So, just out of curiosity, did everyone who had rep before get to keep their rep points? I've notices some with red jewels right off the bat, and some with different messages when you hover over the jewel, and like TCF there, he started with two stones.

I'm just a little confused. :confused:

[lynzxx]

yeah i got rep off people, i hadnt a clue what it was :confused:

i dont know how to give other people rep though

and i havent seen the karma thing

I understood what the rep thing was and stuff, just didn't understand why some people started off with different messages, most have "on a distinguished road" as I have, but some of something else, and more jewels...

I was curious to know now many points it takes to get more jewel, or status of rep to change, I didn't see anything about that.

Yes, we used to have the karma points and they were disabled because of abuse. That's why I'm starting out with three green things under my name. I have 222 points last time I checked. :eek: I think it was members that no longer come here that gave me so many points.

[ChronicTom]

for any who missed it but were wishing you could, you can shut it off in your user settings.

that just hides it...I can still rep you

and nobody will ever see you do it... lol

that wasnt funny enough for a point:hat:

well, I'll try to live with the shame...

[NotDeadYet]

I don't understand this points system. The Experience page says a post is worth 1 point, but my total number of points for everything is lower than my postcount.

[Skip]

It's awaiting a recount, coming soon.

posts in a thread of your own are only 0.1 point..maybe that has something to do with it

[NotDeadYet]

No, I don't have that many threads.

[Enraged Angel]

Ah, I get it, yea, I'm still under 50 I believe.


unfortunately I have to give more rep points before i can rep you again. :( Wich is unfortunate, since there are a lot of posts that are good that I can not rep.

It's awaiting a recount, coming soon.

Yay!



No, I don't have that many threads.

The point system confuses me too... :confused:

[GeeOhhN]

the pinnacle of the rep system is "a splendid one to behold" it is at 10,000 points

[Skip]

OK, the recount is done. One post = one point.

Let me know what you think. :)

[NotDeadYet]

1,273 points sounds reasonable for me. Now, the only thing I don't understand is the Activity % number. What does it measure?

[daisymae]

How often do the statistics get updated?

[TheChaosFactor]

yeah i got rep off people, i hadnt a clue what it was :confused:

i dont know how to give other people rep though

and i havent seen the karma thing
To rep other people you click the balance scales next to the report post button. If you look below somebodys avatar and to the left a bit, you should see it.

[Enraged Angel]

OK, the recount is done. One post = one point.

Let me know what you think. :)

I think it's pretty awesome, especially since you can see the stats of posters.

I like it. :cool:

The only thing I don't like is that it will only let me rep posters once, and I have to rep a buncha others first before I can double rep. :(

[Enraged Angel]

posts in a thread of your own are only 0.1 point..maybe that has something to do with it

How do you know all this information and I don't? :toetap05:

I'm going to have to fight you in a parking lot...

No really, how did you find all that out? I didn't see it in the FAQs

cool stats and info

[NotDeadYet]

The reputation points system is not a good fit with the forum's free speech concept. It creates a strong incentive to agree with everyone.

I dissagree with this

[NotDeadYet]

I dissagree with this

That's probably because nobody has ever given you a negative rep vote for being a "nigger lover" just for saying something negative about racism. :mad:

[BBAD]

I got some negative just for answering someones question in this thread...there will always be some jerks out there

[Skip]

FYI, only site supporters can hide their reputation from others.

[McLeodGanja]

What setting have you adjusted Skip?

I know you add/subtract more points from other people according to how much you have yourself, but I just wondered how exactly it worked.

Some people are being assholes already and abusing it, I doubt that will come as much of a surprise to you.

I liked the rep system in the last place I was that had it, but TBH I am just considering turning it off here.

[etherea]

Anybody want to help me loose the neg points I've got? I really don't know why they were awarded

[McLeodGanja]

Did you get one from Pavement?

He seems to like dishing out negs for no justifiable reason other than to go out of his way to be as irritating and obnoxious as he can be. He thinks he is being funny.

[etherea]

It was that Bravesirtwat or whatever. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

[etherea]

Still minus one

[Indy Hippy]

Well when I first started reading the thread I was all for the karma idea, but go figure we now have idiots running around screwing it up.... hmmm

[Enraged Angel]

http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/xperience.php?go=earn&do=thread

Thank you mister!

[Fingermouse]

What do the black jewels mean? I just got one apparently

[lithium]

Neutral: the person who repped you doesn't have the ability to affect your score.

[McLeodGanja]

Why would someone not have the ability to add or subtract from your score?

What then is the point in that?

[lithium]

If they have low or negative reputation themselves, they can't add to or subtract from anyone else's...

[Fingermouse]

Just so you can have some black balls I think

[lithium]

Yes everything about the system is basically balls

[BBAD]

I like to think of it as fan mail

[lunarverse]

Its a way for you to say thanks for a helpful post that answers your question:cool:

lol

[Face Eater]

In the year 2025 humans will be cybernetically attached to their computers and they will receive an electric shock every time they are given bad rep.
