THunDA Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 I wonder if it can be disabled except for moderators handing out the points?That would be cool if it was possible.. because im not too fond of the feature the way it is.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPDMF Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 That would only work if I get to be a mod. Really wouldn't have to mod peoples threads then. Just bash em with a neg respect point, -10 points and your done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red930 Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 "Too many hands in the kettle spoils the broth." An old saying I first heard from my father which I believe holds true pertaining to reputation awardment. As Happy says, it only takes people abusing the system to degrade it's true purpose and meaning. I am in agreement with the idea of only having the Admins / Super Mods / Mods give-out reputation points to those who honestly deserve them, if it is possible to implement.

wevsspot Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 I've been using the forum default theme since the switch, but yesterday switched over to the heavy metal. Heck AG, as long as the forum is up and running I don't really care what it looks like. And thanks for investing the time and money to help secure the Street and add some addtional features. Peace.

I started with 10 points, I guess default points, Then I got 4 comments in my UserCP with green and 1 comment with grey. I ended up with a total is 193, go figure. I guess it uses some sort of multiplier, then it goes thru a divider so it can achieve a higher point value. That my opinion anyway so I’m not complaining.

adreno Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Not sure if anyone else noticed this but on some of the pages like "Subscribed Threads" or reading a thread, there is not a logout link anywhere on the page. On other pages it appears in what looks like 1 point font at the bottom of the page (where no one can find it). Not a huge problem, but if you are like me and roam from one PC to another from time to time it makes it easy for anyone to hijack your session. If you kill the browser and start it up again it logs you in without requiring a password. Obvioiusly some of you never log out, as this is your life Also it looks like some of the smilies list is broken, as some icons do not show up in the list. I can send you a screen shot if that helps.

Angry_Games Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 the reputation system works great in one sense because of how it doles out the points a guy with no rep or very low rep, his rep points that he hands out to others are not worth much at all maybe a point or a fraction of a point for instance a guy like me, who has 20,000 posts almost AND a lot of high rep handouts from members, my one rep boost to you might be worth 50 points instead of your 1 point if you rep'd me so, its on a sliding scale so to speak the more rep points a person has, the more his rep points that he gives out to others are worth hopefully that will make rep'ing still work out ok since most of the members that will have high reps will know to not abuse the system here's another fact to keep in mind we'll be able to run through lists of rep points and see who has how many points, who is giving out points, who is getting points, etc, and then in the admin section us mods can modify a person's rep based on our collective view of that person's contribution(s) to the forum. (ie we can adjust a rep value so if it has been artificially inflated, we can artifically deflate it just as fast) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReelFiles Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Also in the Forest layout there is a "View Forum Leaders" link on the front page that doesn't work. I wasn't aware the Rep system was based on a sliding scale, that's a good idea. I tried to give a member Rep points for a really good post, but I added to his Rep 2 or 3 days ago. Since then I gave a few points out, but I still can't add to his Rep. Is there a timeout period or a certain amount of post I have to add points to before I can add to his Rep again?

wevsspot Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Well I don’t get it. Then I got 4 comments in my UserCP with green and 1 comment with grey. Tasr, where abouts in your UserCP are you seeing these comments? What theme are you using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
