Latest Reputation Received
 

I just noticed in my Profile I have an area called " Latest Reputation Received" and see 5 threads in there and 1 negative comment about me by a member here. The other ones don't have any comment but I can see someone did not agree with me in that thread.

What's up with that?

How come someone can tag me with a negative comment and I'm not even let know of this?

Maybe I better keep looking around and see what else is being done.

peace and thanks for all the hard work guys

With how the repuation feature is handled here, no general members can view your rep score. I wouldn't sweat it.

I bet Daseal has more negative reps than you. :D

Re: Latest Reputation Received
 

I forgot all about that feature... I added some rep just for the hell of it.

We should rack him up some good stuff to read.
lol
Ok man, thanks
I just had never seen that before and didn't like the one guy's comment about me and I wanted to check and see if he had burgundy blood from his nose. lol KIDDING FOLKS! He was actually a pot calling a kettle black.

peace

Meh. It was mainly out of curiosity.

Re: Latest Reputation Received
 

In the past I've lobbied, unsuccessfully, for the rep total to be made public. My main concern is that people care too much about the number of posts and less about the quality of posts. I think that by having your rep displayed, people would care more about quality of their posts, thus improving TheWarpath.

I agree cpyane, but it can also work the other way, with people being spiteful and giving others negative rep points just because they received negative rep points from someone. I've been kinda monitoring it for a while now just to see how it works. We'll definitely start to push it more at some point.

You can do only positive rep. People who have good posts will have their rep increased, and those who post crap will have their rep stay considerably lower in relation to everyone else.

Re: Latest Reputation Received
 

How does rep affect anything?

Re: Latest Reputation Received
 

I don't think it's a good idea to do it or make it public.

Got a problem with a member take it to managment and let it go. Managment will deal with it and it's over.

I don't need some ranking to tell me to read a JoeCrisp post and not some other guys because of a popularity point system.

Thanks for the hard work guys

Ok to get the record straight

13 points total is what I have.
Does this make me a good man or a bad man?

lol

Depends on what other people have. It's all relative to what others have. Kind of like how it is now w/ the post totals.

Re: Latest Reputation Received
 

But how do you know what others have?

It is not public at this time. At some point, if things go right, it sounds like Matty may make it public.

Re: Latest Reputation Received

Click the "User CP" link at the top of the page. Your reputation should be listed there.

Re: Latest Reputation Received
 

Ahh... then people will be accountable for what they say. Right on.

thanks man, I've been wondering for a while who'd given me rep points and for what.

Re: Latest Reputation Received
 

[QUOTE=TheMalcolmConnection]Ahh... then people will be accountable for what they say. Right on.[/QUOTE]
Exactly.

Re: Latest Reputation Received
 

I'm not sure if I can make it so we can only give positive rep points, I'll have to look into that, maybe there's a mod I can install

Re: Latest Reputation Received
 

Well if you can't, you could always leave the negatives and if anyone gets spiteful just give them a friendly warning.

Even though I could see this getting ugly with the select few who have a hot temper...

I can almost guarantee that removing one line of code would do it.

Re: Latest Reputation Received
 

I still think it's un-needed, will be a hassle and abused.
Really, even counting posts means nothing. Our software at boastingrights.com does that too but it's worthless information. Some smart people don't post much and some with limited info post like crazy.

Thanks guys
mike

Re: Latest Reputation Received
 

Very true. I think we talked about it today because it WAS something to talk about.

I don't think it would be at all a hassle. If it's a hassle to you, then don't use it. vBulletin has set it up in a way that discourages abuse.

I can guarantee to you that A LOT of people on here consider the post count a measuring stick. By using rep points, it would discourage that and at the same time encourage responsible posting.

I don't like change either, but I think that this would be a very minor change that may produce positive results.

I know, look at me....I've got about 1,500 posts and I don't know squat. But I love to talk anyways. :biggthump

Hey cpayne5
You can have my 13 points I have no use for them.

Do what you want. It's your tree I'm just a squirrel trying to get a nut.
