Some thoughts on the Reputation system

this sounds really stupid but how do you check your rep, I can see where you give it and know if you click on username etc you can see public profile but if you click on green box all I can see is something like you are on a distinguished road.....forgive me as a newbie but cant see it (and dont give me any bad rep because I cant!)

I saw my rep go from 15 up to 27 then down to 19 in the course of one thread recently, the only cool thing is that I was able to work out who was doing it by the amount of rep I was losing and the amout of rep people could take, so I popped em straight back.

<edit>
what I really meant to say is who gives a toss.

and for some reason gave me negative rep in the process :P

anyway, id be all for gettign rid of it
ive never seen it before on any other forums and having little bitchy anonymous comments that no one else can see.
as the thread starter said it discourages you from posting if you cant argue back with the people who disagree with you

samo, see the little white/grey scales button underneath your name? at the bottom, just above the poster below you's name? click that, it's how you give/take rep from other people but if you click your own it tells you have many points you have.

Also, when you have enough (i think) going into your user cp (look at the links near the top of the page) and scrolling to the bottom of that page will show you your last 5 rep points received, along with comments.

personally I love the karma system, I am having great fun

it's fun to see real actual results from idiots getting pissed off at me

Tusky loves his reputation points. It gives him a stiffy.

samo · 30-09-2004 12:29PM

I see, it all becomes clear!!

thankyou for that info was doing my head in where to look!

I take it that the more points you have the better....

dont think its going to be a major part of my boards life though but thanks anyway!!

Haha, its funny how some people take things so seriously. I mean someone just gave me a bad reputation because of my comment in this thread. You see that to me is pointless. Why not just write a comment in the thread like "Hey Buddy, we don't like your kind round here" for everyone to see.

And to whoever sent it to me in response: I won't! and I already do!. I just thought I'd give an Irish message board a shot. Didn't think people would be so hostile though. Haha. Funny Bunnies some of the people here.

Yeah but you touch children and thats much much worse.

The sooner we are given the ability to switch rep off, the sooner we can all go back to enjoying boards.ie.

My boards.ie experience has been very negatively effected by the introduction of the rep system (new bastardised version of karma system).

The calibre of posts has flopped since its appearence.

Please let me turn it off soon.

OfflerCrocGod · 30-09-2004 08:19PM

Thread locked. All users who posted in it banned for 2 months.

.....wait I can't actually do that.

Well it depends,
if you go through a red light = bad
if your bank balance is red = bad
if your wife leeks out a bit of red = bad
but,
if red is your style, then red = good

That and he needs to consult a spellcheck... Unless his wife is into some kind of wierd veggie fetish...

Healio · 30-09-2004 10:50PM

No it should be leaks. She thankfully got over her veggie fetish, after the whole family complained at the christmas dinner table that the carrots tasted like fish.

Chonaic · 30-09-2004 10:55PM

Hmmmmmmmm i wont be in this thread again too soon.

simu · 01-10-2004 12:58AM

A thought: is anybody out there colourblind (unable to distinguish between green & red)? If so, do you feel deprived of this karma every one keeps going on about?

Oh so now I touch children?

So you are obsessed with your reputation points and you more than likely break mirrors every time you look into one. Good on ya Tusky.

Red = evil communists.

Red = coca cola

i promise eternal bad rep for the next "repuatation thread" topic started.....

Canis Lupus · 01-10-2004 10:46AM

if nothing else this has highlighted some points for a newb like me, i was under the impression that too many negative rep points led to a temporary ban so i thought the rep system was a bit crap as ppl could give u bad rep to ban u but if the rep system only gives u red or green dots under yur name thats fair enuf... i dont even look at the dots... didnt even know what they meant.
