View Full Version : Reputation
I just noticed some (new?) button at the bottom of my post, and I don't recall seeing that there before. Something about "add post to reputation". I also noted the reputation thing in my Profile, but it seems to be disabled.
So, what's the deal with this reputation thing? Is it enabled? How does it work?
Thanks in advance :)

I notice that GHDPro has just enabled the user reputation on the forum. This enables people to rate each other's posts. (There's a new icon next to reply.) Positive feedback will raise reputation while negative feedback will lower it. You can only rate each post once. I've also noticed that there is a choice under user options to make reputation visible to others...
I'm curious what other people think about this forum feature.
Is it a good thing?
Do you want others to know your reputation?
It displayed as a colored dot (bar?) under your avatar. Black is disabled, green (maybe other colors?) seems to be enabled?
Do you think everyone's reputation should be automatically visible without an option to turn it off?
Do you think this feature should be disabled.
Do you think this feature will be abused or misused?
Like someone purposefully searching for every post someone made just so that they can rate it badly to lower reputation.
I'd also like it if someone can tell me more about what reputation is and how it is used. Unfortunately I know very little about it. Has anyone else seen this feature used on another VB3 board? If so, how did it work out?
Edit: I just noticed that [Titan] Created a similar thread less than a minute before I created mine. :heh: I merged the two to prevent confusion.
good thing?
Time will tell...
Others to know my reputation?
Sure, I've got nothing to hide :) As long as it's a bit out of the picture, I'd like to see it next to my post, but not as a huge coloured bar, something a bit more subtle would be nice. (in order to prevent competition)
Automaticaly visible?
erm, after NoSanninWa's explanation, no
Should it be disabled?
Let's try it, it can always be turned off if things don't work out.
Abuse?
Again, time will tell...

Ummm... you seem to misunderstand one of my questions. By automatically visible, I meant that you wouldn't be able to turn it off... after all, someone can always turn it off if their reputaion begins to suffer. Then would it mean anything? Or would people who turn off their reputation be suspected?
Incidently a little experimentation and looking at the mod control panel has revealed that reputation begins at 10 and is raised or lowered by 1 point for each feedback. (I can find an exact number instead of a slowly growing bar.)
Do you dare to find out how others rate you by turning it on?

No harm in trying it a little bit.
If it turns out to be a defective feature, Im pretty sure we will deactivate it.
Well, I doubt that everyone is mature enough to use this feature properly. For some people, it's all too easy to negatively rate any post where others disagree with them, regardless of how good, factual and well written the post is. Some people just can't stand others disagreeing with them.
But sure, let's try it for a while.

You may also read the comments by clicking on the rating-icon of the post to which the comment was given...
Actually I think this is a nice idea because trolls can easily be identified, presumed that there is enough feedback.
And I think the creators of the board have thought a while about how to implement it so that it is fair.
Actually we have nothing to loose by trying the feature, if it gets abused it can still be deactivated, or not?
Edit: Maybe "I approve"/"I disapprove" aren't really good choices; probably something like "This post was useful"/"unnecessary" would be better.
And: Why is it disabled per default?

I just stumbled into a balance that checks the reputation system. It seems that it doesn't let you do things that are too much out of line, like rate only a single person. It is starting to look better to me.
This is available on ChristianForums (don't ask me why I post at ChristianForums... X_x) and it works quite well.
I think it's useless, but sure it's fun to play with as long as it's not abused.
There's another thing I was wondering about: The use for this feature. Is there limit to the number of ratings you can do per hour or day? I think there should be.
The thing is what the members of the forums think this feature is for. I'm sure some will try to rate every single post they read; "I think this one's good, so is this, this one's a little bad" etc. While other, dare I say "more sensible" people, will rate only posts they find exceptional, be it good or bad, posts that stand out from the crowd, that there is special reason to rate. Posts that add to (or detract from) the overall quality of the forums. I think such a use would be a lot more useful for this board.
I think that this feature should be disabled for it is very easy to abuse it (same with the post count-last time it created so many useless threads and posts that it was impossible to tell which one was worth reading). I know that there are some good points about it, but unfortunately, in the real world, there are more "bad" people than "good" people.

AFAIK there is a limit of 10 ratings per day per default and you can only rate the person a second time, after I think 20 others rated the same person in the meanwhile... or was it like you have to rate 20 others until you can rate this person again? :confused:
However, to all those people fearing that the feature could be abused: Like I already wrote I'm pretty sure the developpers thought about all this possibilities and made it hard to abuse it.
BTW, I think the fullquote-checkbox in the quick reply field is worth more worries.

Ok... the little misunderstanding has been cleared up.
Anyway... let's see how the reputation system goes. If after
a while it's considered a bad thing... I can always disable it again.
Also, if you don't want to partcipate in the reputation system
you can disable showing it by setting the option in the User CP.
Why are people afraid of the reputation system?
Because the advantage are more or less inexistent and that can make begin flame wars and insults after some time...
Wait & see.
diabolistic
2003-11-08, 02:19
imo, the reputation system will probably do more harm than good. Is it really necessary to rate someone on their posts? If it is a bad/useless/offensive post, i trust that moderators will dish out reprimands like nobody's business.
Also, flame wars can be healthy sometimes to flush out all the idiocy.
Indeed, we did discuss the whole "post count" issue before the migration to the new forum software...On the whole I think that people were of the view that any visible number will attract redundant posts in order to raise it.
I'm generally against this kind of thing, but if GHDpro wants to stick with it, I'll hang back a bit ;)
Hmm, I'm sorry to necro an old topic, but I have one question about the rep system. Where do these "neutral" reps come from? I only see options for plus and minus to reputations. Where did these neutral ones come from?
NoSanninWa
2003-12-30, 00:08
I believe (I'm not certain) that neutral comes about from additional plusses or minuses to posts in the same thread. Does anyone else have a better idea of how it is calculated?
The Small One
2003-12-30, 01:51
Well, the neutral ones are indeed plusses and minuses, but it has nothing to do with the thread.
When someone has less than 100 posts (I think) or less than 10 reputation points, his ratings get a 0 value.
I'm not really sure how it's calculated exactly, but spammers and newbies have lesser reputation "power" than people who use the board longer and already have a good reputation, and that's where the "neutral" ones come from.

I (for example) sometimes skip the comment, if it is obvious, what was wrong with the post (in case of a negative comment), or why it was a good one (in case of a positive).
I like this reputation system. Except for the boring 3-way system: "X is an unknown quantity," "X can only hope to improve," and "X is on a distinguished road at the moment." It's so dry and boring. -__-. Btw, how does The Small One know so much about the reputations? Is it in a faq somewhere or something?

I think the whole system is somewhat useless. But I'm hoping that if I lower my rep even further I'll see another super cool rep title ^_^
Honestly, I can't even find mine despite what you guys say. I don't see it anywhere on my Usercp
Agreed, it serves no practical purpose. But I like it because it's different. I haven't been to any other forum with that kind of thing before. Also it's very uselessness makes it nice and harmless - you're not gonna get banned for a bad rep, you're not going to get rewarded for a good rep, it's all in good fun.

Last time I checked, you need to have atleast more then 3 lines for it to qualify as a rant. Then you need atleast some sick/questionable content for it to be sick. I wrote three lines that were true and I get accused of writing another sick rant.
The Rating system is nothing more then a cheap little novelty to play with. It serves no purpose except deciding the colour of a tiny little square next to your avatar.

I dont think it serves a point, i think it is funny.
if rating things actually had an effect (like banning and stuff) most of the browsers of the naruto forum would be banned (for being Disapproved too much) because there is a flame war somewhere in about every thread.

In my opinion, i like the reputation system...as stated before it's suppossed to rate a person's post by the quality and the information provided in it...the only thing that makes it bad is that people don't know how to use it properly and/or just abuse it by giving people neg rep points for whatever reason they have (whether it be they just didn't like the post or if they just don't like the person) If people were more mature and they had at least practical knowledge of how to use it it'd be more useful then just determining the color of the box. I've gotten a few neg rep points also...one for a joke that apparently someone misunderstood...and another for absolutely no reason (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=107979&postcount=2) at all and right now the only reason i haven't turned off mine is cause i still like seeing feedback on some of my posts whether it good or bad...but if i see that people are still acting childish and just giving neg rep points for nothing i'm just gonna turn it off.
btw...if your gonna give a negative or positive rep point at least leave a comment...i'm tired of getting points and in the comment area it's just blank

The reputation mark -- as seen publicly under your avatar or on your the profile -- is "black" when you disable it.
On the personal report -- where you the comment that goes with each rating -- the "clear" marks are ratings that do not count to your reputation. Either because the user is too new or has a low reputation...
I think negative reputation should be disabled. It's cowardly and anti-social, and because it is anonymous, it implicitly encourages name-calling and abusing fellow human beings.

Then what would I do with my negative rep? Would it magically become positive rep?
I don't think it's *that* cowardly. What's really cowardly is when mods go in and modify your rep and make it signifgantly lower, but I'm sure that's never happened right?

i dont see the point of reps, everyone has different opinions about the ppl of this forum... so no one is really going to care how many rep points u have. Does having low rep points do anything else other than making u look bad?
Well apart from JAppi, I don't know anyone who actually has a bad rep, so it's not affecting the majority of users (gomen, JAppi). It's not as if anyone but you can look at your comments and say "Oh, what a nasty person you are." I've gotten some undeserved bad reps and some deserved ones, and I have given out one or two on occasion. It's not the end of the world, people.

There's a lot of thing that would make somebody give neg rep :
off topic post, flam, insults, a post they don't agree with and of course, for just plain egoism/stupidity reason.
So anyone can get a neg rep on any posts and since JAppi can sometimes get quite aggressive it could help also ^^
I hope I didn't offense you JAppi but I guess this'll help you to get some rep back ^^

Those neutral reps are only neutral because the person who gave it has few posts or hasn't been around for long. I know that I've seen a lot of my neutral go green or red after time has passed. I've had a lot of neutrals, so every now and then I see my reputation change even though I didn't get any new reputation. It means that they're not ripe yet. :)

So when (not if) RichMan gets banned, does that mean the bad reps he gave out will be deleted as well?
You're a lucky one. I've only gotten negative rep for my posts in this thread. Oh crud... shouldn't have posted again!

It's just you. Though I think that the main reason he has bad rep, is that rep begging just begs to be dissed.
Actually, when I was rep begging my rep was somewhere between 15-16 Now it's Waaaaay down there. I was hoping for some cooler messagers.

richman... well... his generilazations are too broad.
You are so rude! I do not deserve to be banned. Your the one who can't even respond with an intelligent response. You shun my posts and go on with name calling like your so "high and mighty." My posts are based on fact, if you don't want to believe me then that's your own problem. Farthermore, I do not generalize anything. I told about "one" specific group. I told how I only hate loud/obnoxious black girls. I never said I hated the whole black race(Someone else later on called me a racist, which is false)Then I mentioned that I could back it up by saying i've known girls like this my whole life. I don't automatically hate on people, I give them a chance. If the person seems alright in my opinion then I don't hate em, but if the person seems bad to me then I'll probably dislike him/her.
I don't feel that I should be explaining all this to you guys, but I don't like it when people try to poke fun at me or try to give me a bad image, and I just like to prove people WRONG~! I've recieve a few bad reputations myself which are really lame. I got 2: one for my experience of what happened to me at school and my second was showing how stupid and iggnorant hobobaggins post was. I deserve to get my points back...
Now, as for Method, Mr.Busjido and Umbrae. Stop picking everything I say apart, and read the whole post will ya? You can get a better understanding then just picking each sentance apart and pretending it has nothing to do with the last sentance. You guys are so twisted.

Interesting detail about the reputation system. Everyone has a "Reputation Power" derived from a number of factors which are mysterious to me. When you give someone positive rep, their reputation is increased by your reputation power. When you give someone negative rep, their reputation is decreased by only half your reputation power. Since negative reputation is less powerfull, just imagine how many people JAppi must have annoyed to get a reputation so low.

yeah... mostly by people who dont know i am joking report me badly.
So, just to clarify: If only 5 reputations are displayed at a time, does it mean that the reputations you got before don't count at all or just that they aren't being displayed. For example, you got 5 good reps at first then 5 bad reps. Does that mean you only have 5 bad reps or you have both bad and good? I still don't quiet get this reputation thing.

You have all the points for the rep that is given to you...but it only shows the 5 most recent ones that are given...
so if you were rated 7 times....it would only show the 5 recent ones...and the 2 older ones dissappear...but the point still stays...

I'll agree that most people giving negative rep are just jerks, but giving plus rep can be just as impulsive and idiotic, so unless its disabled completely, I think that people should be allowed to go both ways. Though just plus rep would make for a more amiable system
P3psi- Do you have it diasabled? I just tried giving you rep and it seemed like it went through? It should appear at the bottom of your User CP
You can still give positive/negatives feedback to people who has their rep disabled ^^
But if he doesn't get his rep ON, he won't see your comment.
As for the rep, I think the fact is that if your rep is under 10 you give white squares like if you weren't here for long enough.
Neg rep-givers, you may keep yourselves anonymous, but that won't stop me from displaying your stupidity to the world.

After reading this it made me wonder about something...If people have their rep disabled are they still able to give pos/neg rep? or does it only count as neutral?

As long as it's at 10+.
Although I'm not sure... So...
just imagine how many people JAppi must have annoyed to get a reputation so low.
Actually my rep magically dropped all the way from 10-12-ish to the negatives after I got negative rep from two threads that Xris closed. I wonder if the two are connected hmm.....
Or, it could be the fact that I keep mis-quoting people. (see the new quote in my sig ^_^)

Ok just enabled my Rep and I have 13 points ... is that good or bad? Anyways what i found was funny is that some of messages had a green light on them but the comment was quite negative :).
13 is over 10 so it's not bad for you and means you have a good rep... ^^
By the way JAppi, you are no longer the only one who has a white little square :p
Yeah, I saw another little white square, but it had different text in it. It said something like "XXX has a little shameless behaviour in the past," so it seems to be not quite as bad as JAppi's.
By the way JAppi, you are no longer the only one who has a white little square :p
sDamn you Rep koneko! ^_^ I'm no longer orginal :( My rep has started going up again. it's at 11 right now.
That's interesting. I've never noticed the whole reputation system (yes, let's all dogpile on the n00b...).
I seem to have ten reputation points, but no comments. Am I right in saying that all new forum members start out with 10 positive reputation points? Or did I just miss any reputation-related comments?
Yeah, you start out with 10 points. I'm incredibly and pleasantly surprised to note that I actualy have two reputation thingies. They're negative, but I'm flattered somebody bothered to tell me something about myself.
Say, who's the other one with hte grey square?! I should note people's reputation more. ^_^

You must have angered a particularly powerful person, because most people on the forum only have a power of one (from what I've observed of my reputation). I've noticed that my reputation has gone up and down by several points with just a single rep comment. Maybe you were rated badly by a person with a power of 10 and two people with a power of one? :P

Though I've never given any reputation (positive or negative) to aahhsin, I'm sure this "BoneJellyfish" character must have. In a previous post (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=29499) by one kanazuchi, BoneJellyfish sounds like, and I quote, "a retard". Therefore, by using kanazuchi's obvious talent for manipulating words, I have come to the conclusion that this "BoneJellyfish" is a menace to the community, handing out negative reputation to whomever it pleases.
I have never personally met with this "BoneJellyfish", nor have I even seen any records of her/him/it even being a member of AnimeSuki, but by the many instances I have seen of its name being used, I can only assume that this character has slipped past my hightened sense of awareness, which I have dubbed the "Jelly Sense" for some time now (patent pending). Yes, that's right, the Jelly Sense. In a way, it's actually quite similar to the Spider Sense, except that I am able to use it to detect stupid people arguing with me before they even join the forum. Though it hasn't quite proven to be useful at this point, I'll remain optimistic that it will save my life some day.
Sorry about that, I went a little off-topic. Where was I? Ah yes! As I was saying, ever since I was just a little jellyfish, I always dreamt of - what's that you say? Wrong topic? Sorry.
Like I said before, I haven't met this "BoneJellyfish" character, but I hear that she/he/it has a pretty cool avatar (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?p=12596#post12596). I wouldn't mind meeting this jellyfish, because not only is it a good rater of avatars (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?p=55268#post55268), but is also rather funny (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?p=83053#post83053). Unfortunately, this BoneJellyfish seems to be missing something (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?p=291#post291), so I'm not sure if it is ready to meet me yet. However, I am hopeful that I will have the chance to meet this jellyfish one day and SET IT STRAIGHT.
BoneJellyfish should be severely punished for its FLAGRANT disrespect and mistreatment of our beloved reputation system, which as you all know is held with such high esteem by its members that it is NEVER misused. Therefore, I propose an amendment be made to the forum rules that there shall be no more mention of this BoneJellyfish ever again. Make it a bannable offense too, no one shall be spared for their blatant disregard for the forum rules, which are held sacred by each (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=10174) and every (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=10296) member (http://forums.animesuki.com/member.php?u=8078) on our amazing forum (http://forums.animesuki.com/forumdisplay.php?f=8).

"Arguing" is giving your reply to my argument against Sugetsu a little too much credit. Also, I have NEVER said anything like that EVER, so it must be someone else (probably BoneJellyfish).

I usually give rep to posts that I wont bother replying to...so just because they posted in your thread doesnt mean they have any relation what so ever to your reputation.

You know, maybe the reputation system SHOULD be disabled if I make a honest accident like "I got 2 negative reputations" when I mistook the grey square for a negative reputation... WHEN IT'S NEUTRAL ... and then two people give me positive reputation. o_o
Well, thanks anyway guys.
I suppose in ashibaka's case, people abuse it against him but then...
1. you can do the same
2. you can not care
3. other people can abuse the "good rep" button :) [as in, they give you good rep for nothing]

If I am not misstaken u can disable it in userCP (atleast so ppl can't rate your posts...again I am not sure). And second who cares? I mean I wouldn't even bother rating other posts or read my own rep...u have too much time on your hands :heh:

I dunno, I always thought disabling it in your userCP means that you still receive reputation, just that nobody sees it. A bit cheap, but that's ok.

Well, that's what it basicly do.
You still earn rep when it's disabled, but nobody can see it, that's all.
3. other people can abuse the "good rep" button :) [as in, they give you good rep for nothing]I don't see anything wrong with a random act of kindness.
It's not really kindness if they're just giving it for the hell of it. Something like in art forums where you post a rather sub-par pic but everyone says "WOW! Wonderful!!!" ... they might as well not post at all, right? Something like that, I suppose.
What I mean is that while people can give you bad remarks easily, they can give you good remarks easily too, so it balances out...

On the other side of the spectrum, it looks like JAppi's reputation has skyrocketed in a more positive direction. According to his sig, he's now at a whopping -4 reputation points. This isn't the JAppi I know! I must say I also disagree with his current reputation rank now: It says "JAppi has a little shameless behaviour in the past".

You can see others reputation levels by looking at the description provided with that little light next to their post count. It will display a different message depending on how much reputation they have. I'm not sure how much reputation you need to trigger a message, but you can pretty much guess how much they have by looking at the light.
You can see your own reputation by clicking on "User CP" and scrolling down. You should see your reputation level as well as the five latest reputation points that you have received.

I agree, seeing who gives you negative rep will lead to rep-wars. If you want to let the person know who gave them any rep, just mention your name. However i think it would be good if mods have some control over the reputation system. Right now any pissed-off kid can just start giving neg rep to anyone for no reason at all (e.g. what's been happening in this thread), or for the simple reason they don't agree with that persons post.
Is there a way for mods to see who's giving rep to who anyway? It's obvious that that someone is abusing it to give ppl bad rep just for posting in this thread. Also ince most people have reputation disabled anyway and you cannot see another persons reputation at all (just some vague message) the reputation system doesn't really serve a purpose, maybe we should just drop the entire system ...

I agree with not letting people see who is giving them negative reputation, but I wouldn't mind knowing who is crazy enough to give me positive reputation. I don't know what to think of neutral reps, though. The suspense of trying to figure out if it's positive or negative is enough for me.

There was someone who was awarding negative rep but I've warned the person about it and as far as I know it's stopped (this would have been end of last week). Of course how many others are doing the same I don't know as it's not the easiest thing to track down all negative reps, and how do you determine if someone is abusing the system or just handing out possibly deserved negative reps.
All I can say is that if you find a negative rep distasteful, then turn off your rep, simple as that :)

Not quite. It counts for 50% your rep "power". Some people have massive rep power, so 50% of it is still a lot of points to take off someone's rep. Most have a lower rep power. Anyone with a rep power of 1 who gives -ve rep actually has no effect because it doesn't work with half points.

Anyone with -ve overall rep probably (although I could be wrong) has zero rep power, meaning any rep they dish out is useless.

Hummm.. we're all sheeps one way or another.
I had a mod that gave me a negatiee rep which counted as -10. Others were white(neutral) some were positive(people that wanted to do opposite of what I asked) and alot of reds.
What I found odd was that when another mod I'm not gonna say his name because of obvious reasons... *COUGH*dranz*COUGH*
gave me a positive to hold back my progress(or should I say CON-GRESS?). I only got 1 positive point out of it.
I'm not too sure how it works. I don't think much of this rep business, I figured I'd have fun with it(And I did =P). Just because you have bad "rep" doesn't mean you're a bad person. I don't think JAppi and one or two other people with neg rep are bad people :heh: . But I am. :D

Exactly how much is 'Massive"? Are we talking 50 rep points, or like 200.

Read the last post before yours if you want a hint.
As far as I'm aware, most people (i.e. all bar a few people) have a 'rep power' of one. So if they award positive rep they give +1pt, if they award negative rep they give -1pt. I see no evidence that half points or fractions are awarded (positive or negative).
When you see a green spot on your Received Reputation list, you have gained some positive rep (usually one). If you see a red spot then you have lost some rep (usually one). If you see a grey spot then you have been rated by someone who has a rep power of zero (I don't think in this situation you can tell if it was a pos or neg award).
Some people do have zero rep power and that's because they are typically new members to the forum. It's also possible to have a temporary rep power of zero because they either have awarded to many points already that day or because they have recently rated the same person. Each time you award rep, you either award your rep power ( + / - ) or you are at zero depending on the circumstances.
And yes, I am being vague about this because otherwise people start getting anal about how much rep they have, what their own rep power is, how often can they rate people and so on and so on. If you want to know, I suggest you create your own forum and discover the in and outs for yourself. But if people start trying to abuse the system, we'll simply turn the darn thing off. And again, if you currently don't like it, then I suggest you just go into your own CP and disable it.

I don't really care much if people give out bad reputation. (though it does have some amusement value as JAPpi discovered.) It is irrelevant because there is no penalty for bad reputation or advantage to good reputation. The whole system is merely for amusement value. I suppose the fact that people here care about it is proof that some find it amusing.

It doesn't look like that's possible at the moment, but maybe it should be in the future. What's wrong with seeing what rep you've been dishing out?

I'd have to agree that actually it would be pretty nice to be able to check stats on that. It would also be nice to see a list of all the people you've given rep to in one place. Unfortunately this might be a rather major hack and GHDpro is pretty busy right now.

My latest rep:
Ignorance and hypocrisy at its best. First you agreed with the topic creator. Then after your problem is solved you just join the other people in flaming him -_-
I would like to note I did this after I found out that his comments were useless and nessesary on top of that. I only yelled at because:
1. He claimed he wasn't suggesting, but it was an idea.
2. He tried a cheap shot at me, then changing it to spam of a stupid question.
I didn't flame him until he edited his post, but then again it wasn't as much as a flame as pointing out the obvious.
My thoughts of the ignorant comment: This is the first fourm I've ever been on with options to turn sigs, avas, and images off. It wasn't ignorance, but instead as being introduced to a feature I've never seen.
The hyprocrite comment: I wasn't as much as a hyprocrite as much as I was confused. (See ignorance comment above.) I only agreed due to my lack of knowledge of this type of fourm settings. I sorry if you saw it another way, but it seems like you judged from my first post before the edit. If it weren't for Lexander, I would've seen his idea through. Everyone gets confused when in a new fourm, including me. I'm kind of dense that way.

Please do not use this thread (or this forum for that matter) to complain and whinge about reps you have obtained (and this applies to everyone here, not just Razer_2mb).
Please PM me directly if you think you are having problems. I can check to see if the person you think is giving out the reps is really the person giving out the reps. Please note, the Reps are meant to be anonymous, so I will try and ensure it remains that way (meaning, I will not tell you who it was). And as far as I can see, this last comment wasn't by the person you seem to think it was by.
Please do not use this thread (or this forum for that matter) to complain and whinge about reps you have obtained (and this applies to everyone here, not just Razer_2mb).

What about the option to give pos rep only? Will this ever be implemented since that will solve most problems.

vB can have the Rep system turned on or off, that's it. We have no plans to create any hacks to implement any other options, sorry. If people aren't happy with Reps, they can turn off the Reps for themselves (this doesn't stop others to still handing out pos or neg reps to them but it means the Rep level isn't displayed anywhere).

HOW THE FUCK DID I GO FROM -10 REP TO +1
wASLKFJ;LKDJSAL;KABJS;LAJGAS!!!!!!!
I HATE YOU PEOPLE! I WAS SO CLOSE TO GETTING THE RED BUTTON
:heh: I believe I had something to do with that, what can I say ... I felt bad for giving you the bad rep in the sig thread.

<div><label for="rb_reputation_pos"><input type="radio" name="reputation" value="pos" id="rb_reputation_pos" checked="checked" />I approve</label></div>
<div><label for="rb_reputation_neg"><input type="radio" name="reputation" value="neg" id="rb_reputation_neg" />I disapprove</label></div>
and change it to

Quick questions: How can I receive neutral Reputation? I thought that whenever someone who "is on adistinguished road" gives you a + rep you receive a + rep. Can someone clarify that for me please?
Quick questions: How can I receive neutral Reputation? I thought that whenever someone who "is on adistinguished road" gives you a + rep you receive a + rep. Can someone clarify that for me please? As far as I know reputation can also change on the timing you rate posts.
If you rate too many people, you give/extract less reputation than if you just give sometimes rep points.
I've already gotten rep points of 5 from someone, but it could be 3 if this person had given much reputation in the day.
It might also be the fact of how long since that person would have given you your last rep.

Guess "reputation" is one way for people to brag with their shiny, new red/green/grey/murky button. No harm done, I guess, since it can be disabled and doesn't really have any effect anywhere -perhaps that is why it should be removed; being a useless gadget. Also, I have noticed that some people just write all kinds of crap into the comment part. (I have this one message just saying "Retard" and giving negative rep. Eh... sure helped to understand. :eyebrow: )

Yeah I just received a neutral rep. I don't mind neutral reps but it was given to me with no comments at all... It's like... "ooooookkkaayy..."

dragonz - first thing...you gotta remember that it's already decided whether or not it's a good or bad rep point...if the person that gave it to you is a new member...then it'll change later on if/when the person becomes more active...if it's cause the person gave out lots of rep that day well....i don't know how that one works :p...
these are the 2 main reasons i know of for gettin a neutral rep...there might be more...but i don't know them :(

Nice, that means I have 2-3 positive rep pending ^_^
Umm, does anyone have a complete guide on how "Reputation" works? (I mean where everything is explained and so on ^_^ )

It doesn't work like that. The reps have no 'memory', so they award (plus/minus/zero) whatever the Rep Level of the poster currently has at the instant the rep was awarded (not what it may be in the past or future).
And if you want to know how Reputation works, please go and ask on the vBulletin forums, do not ask here.

Have you tried looking through this thread? Everything you need to know about the reputation system is in this thread. I mean, that's why it was created after all.

I don't think that the complete guide to reputation exists. I don't think that the guy who wrote this wants to explain all of it in order to keep people from exploiting it. I have a better idea of how it works than most since I can poke around under the hood a bit, but even so a number of details elude me. I'll tell you a few interesting points.
Everyone has a reputation power. This is based upon a lot of factors, some of which can be altered in the configuration files. It might include things such as your reputation and the amount of reputation you give out. Or it might not. Most people never get a reputation power over 3. If your reputation goes below 10, your reputation power becomes 0.
Each postive reputation increases your reputation by the power of the reputation giver. Each negative reputation point only counts for half unless the giver is an administrator. If a newbie gives out reputation it doesn't count until they stop being a newbie. I don't know if this is based on time or post count.
I just noticed something speaking of reputation!
Just look at Sid_Burn's reputation button! It's red!
There must have been a change in the reputation system during the forum upgrade, since I don't remind seeing a red button for his reputation and that it isn't written 'can only hope to improve'.
This and all the reputation are now shown since the upgrade too :D

Errrr...I have a question about a negative points. Well, I received a bad rep. point for posting in the Official Thank You thread. Now, this person didn't give any reasoning to why they gave me a bad rep. point (and I have no idea either, all I did in the post was thank fansub groups).
So my question is; Shouldn't there be some sort of feature that makes a person give reasoning to why they are giving rep. points?
I am not complaining btw. I just wonder. I mean, if the person took offense to me thanking fansub groups. That would be okay, but it would be best if they wrote that in the comment area :heh: .
Thanks!

Not really. Part of the reputation feature is that nobody has to explain themselves. Just take it lightly since it really means so little.
I have to admit that I can't imagine why someone would take offense at you thanking fansubs groups, but it truly takes all kinds.

:Please hold on a moment, for I am still laughing at how many mistakes are in this negative rep:
Okay, here it goes:
Stop being such an eliterian
This is from the thread Narutopower parody 90 out! Just how many mistakes are there? Let's see:
1. I was never being an elitist in this (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?p=256128) post, was I? Nope.
2. Strange, how can I be an elitist if I hate Naruto? See the problem here?
3. It's not "eliterian", it's "elitist".
Definition: Someone who thinks they know all about something (in this case Naruto) and uses it to have surpiriority.
To think I was an elitist would require me to like Naruto. Now since I stopped dieing of laughing, if you guessed I was pissed right now, you are our lucky winner. Have 1000 Kelenar bucks.
Yep. It's an unfair rep and a false statement people. Nepots never had to deal with this kind of crap. He'd just scare them away, because he rules.
Once again, I am not a Naruto elitist, and I am offended by this bad rep statement!
P.S. I know people say when you have a rep problem, such as an unfair one, you should pm an mod/super mod/admin, but I wanted to get that one thing straight with everyone.

Firstly, no offence but I think you're missing the point:
Definition: Someone who thinks they know all about something (in this case Naruto) and uses it to have surpiriority.How about in this case English? My guess is they were talking about you having a go at people for their grammar...
Secondly, how many times do you need to be told that this thread is not for personal rep complaints ... no matter how straight you want it to be with everyone. If everyone complained about every rep they disagreed with the thread could end up 100s of pages long. No one can see the rep comment except you and ultimately that one negative point has little impact on your overall rep... so don't worry about it so much.
Had you not posted the above, I doubt anyone else would have noticed or changed their opinion of you. As it is you draw attention to yourself -- and not positive attention either.

I'm just showing that if other people around the world read this that it would be difficult for people who have not mastered the language to read it. Not so much as grammer as not using the caps lock.

I realize that, but I haven't had a positive rep in over a month (It's been a slow season for me). There's 4 red pegs and a gray one! Those were the last 5 I've recieved, but I can't help my instict since the day I've been typing with caps where they're supposed to be, puntuation in the correct place (Well, some of the time. Not most or all of the time.). It's really annoying to go through a sea on lower case letters and I find myself having to start over again due to losing my place. At times it looks like they didn't use a space bar because of that.
Had you not posted the above, I doubt anyone else would have noticed or changed their opinion of you. As it is you draw attention to yourself -- and not positive attention either.
I was only freaking out because I thought he said I was a Naruto elitist, but I'm the complete opposite. It turned out to be a misunderstanding then. I have got to stop acting like a freak and exploding on people who don't use the caps locks and misinterpiting someones impression on me. As long as h didn't say I was a fan of Naruto, then I'm cool with this.
Also, from this day forward, I promise I will try to resist, or do my best to do so. (not to post every negative rep and yell at them for their typing ability/sytle.)

If you are going to have the reputation thing could you do something to prevent users from putting repuation feed back like "Person just sucks ass" or "Person is a fucker". Also why is it you can't see who it is leaving the feedback? I understand you don't want flame wars but why even have that option if it's just going to be abused?

Although some unflattering things were said in your reputation feedback i would like to point out that nobody said either of the quotes that you used. Nobody said anything about you personally, rather every unflattering comment was made about a specific post you had made. For instance, your most recent comment wasn't "Person just sucks ass", but rather "Don't be such an arse" which refers to what you said in a specific post. There is a large difference between the two which I hope you can understand. (I can't find anything resembling your other quote.) If your goal is to upset people you are clearly getting the feedback you desire. If you don't want to upset people then you should try to phrase things better.
Getting back to your questions: There isn't much we can do to limit the things that people type in private. Please consider that it isn't public and the whole reputation system should be taken lightly. The reason why we have the system is so that you can see what people really think of your comments. It is for you to judge if your message is getting through or you should modify your speach.

Thanks for the reply. But to clarify at no point did I say those things were said about me. I was using those as examples. And I am certain from talking to people on irc channels that things like that have been said,which Is why i used those as examples. Please in the future don't assume I am out to cause trouble for you. People change and if you don't give them a chance to change then what's the point of going on? Some of what was said about me is true yes. But to constantly hold the past against some one is a no win thing. Anyway thank you for your response.
I like the reputation thingy. LOL... once in a while I'll check my User CP and see a comment. I get tickled and move on. The only complaint I have is that, you can only give one rep to each member. http://sugoikawaii.com/pucca_smilies/14.gif
btw...I always give postive reps! http://sugoikawaii.com/pucca_smilies/8.gif
