Reputation Points?

**pags11** · 12-19-05, 03:04 AM

don't know a whole lot about these...

**Dave** · 12-19-05, 03:05 AM

New feature just added. It allows users to add or subtract points from a posters reputation. All posters start with 10.

**isetcap** · 12-19-05, 03:07 AM

Under what conditions may we add or subtract points?

**mad** · 12-19-05, 03:18 AM

hmmmmm, you could have some fun with this me thinks.

**pags11** · 12-19-05, 03:24 AM

Dave, any more info. you could share with us would be great...

**isetcap** · 12-19-05, 03:26 AM

Reminds me of a news story I read today about a new email system that allows people to annonymously "inform" people that there may be a pressing need for them to visit the STD doctor. The story stated that it is speculated there may be some abuse to the system.

**raiders72001** · 12-19-05, 04:43 AM

This may be the funniest thing that I've read all year. What the hell does reputation points have to do with anything? This reminds me of the RX where they start a thread every other day on the top five posters aka the top 5 suckups. Do I get a little star next to my name if I'm good. I hope that you at least create a new forum called the dungeon for these childish ratings.

**Razz** · 12-19-05, 04:48 AM

To be honest, I don't think it's such a good idea either - sorry. It's sort of what you would expect in an elementary school, not a gambling forum.

**isetcap** · 12-19-05, 04:52 AM

but this one goes to 11...

Spinal Tap

**Razz** · 12-19-05, 04:57 AM

I don't get it. All I see is "on a distinguished road" (for everyone except Raiders, who is an "unknown quantity at this point." Haha.). Where are you all seeing points?

**mad** · 12-19-05, 05:01 AM

Yeah it's crap. I'm trying to blast all you guys but i can't, LOL.

Who came up with this idea?

**isetcap** · 12-19-05, 05:03 AM

I am going to be chopping points like bonuses at an F book

**rm18** · 12-19-05, 05:03 AM

I agree this is not a great idea, it is that little scale thing under your avatar razz, I tried to downgrade you for not being observant, I wonder if your rating is 9 now

**raiders72001** · 12-19-05, 05:06 AM

I don't have a little scale thing. I guess my voting priveleges have been taken away.

Here's my write in ballot. Whoever came up with this idea gets a big "0" from me.

**Razz** · 12-19-05, 05:07 AM

I saw that thing, but when I moved my mouse over it, it said "Add to Razz's Reputation" and I didn't want to vote for myself. But Ok, I see now. Not observant - it worked.

**mad** · 12-19-05, 05:09 AM

Blast Dave, i think it was his idea.

**rm18** · 12-19-05, 05:15 AM

There are these little lights under our number of posts and everyone is green except raiders is red, so I guess dave did that too

**isetcap** · 12-19-05, 05:16 AM

First time in my life I have ever been on a "distinguished road". Surely I will stray.

**raiders72001** · 12-19-05, 05:17 AM

This is mine:

Reputation Your reputation on this post is Somewhat Negative.

You have -21 Reputation points.

I noticed little Dave's reputation box is disabled. This just keeps getting funnier.

How do I have 21 points but my rep is negative? Time to stuff the ballot box. Also I'm going to have my boys waiting outside of the poll places just in case you guys vote the wrong way.

**raiders72001** · 12-19-05, 05:19 AM

Now I get it. I have negative 21 points. Looks like Dave beat me to stuffing the ballot box.

**rm18** · 12-19-05, 05:20 AM

thats why you are red I guess

**Razz** · 12-19-05, 05:24 AM

Raiders can "only hope to improve." This is pretty much comical.

**raiders72001** · 12-19-05, 05:28 AM

All the mods have reputation boxes except for Dave. Now I'm positive that it's his idea.

Reminds me when I was in 5th grade. I just got done watching Zorro the night before. Everyone was out at recess except for me. I was in the classroom and marked a big "Z" on everyone's jacket.

At the end of the day we are all walking out to go home and the teacher pulls me aside. She say's why did you mark everyone's jacket with a "Z". I said how did you know it was me? She replies, your jacket is the only one without a "Z".

**isetcap** · 12-19-05, 05:29 AM

i wonder if raiders ever wakes up in the afternoon and says to himself..."Today I will try to make people like me."

**rm18** · 12-19-05, 05:41 AM

I checked even jjgold is on a distinguished road, sorry razz and raiders

Solid post mate.

**slacker00** · 12-19-05, 07:51 AM

raiders, I think this rating system is a response to your thread from last week about posts being deleted. Notice the icon to the right of the scale icon, it also allows for a reader to report a bad post. Thus, if readers are flagging a thread or a poster as being abusive or just disruptive, the moderators have more of a papertrail of justification for deleting threads or taking action against particular posters. It looks like just another moderator tool.

As for raiders having a red dot rather than a green dot. I know you guys are just joking around, but give raiders his green dot back.

He's an SBR legend, even if he's a thorn in the side for every SBR moderator.

When voting the system gives or takes away 1 or 10 points. If you add a comment to the Add or Subtract reputation then the system adds/subtracts 10 points. if you dont add a comment they system only adds/subtracts 1 reputation point.

Anyway I added myself to the list so feel free to Blast away!!

Mad goes down to 9... cause I feel like it.

Do you get suspended when you go down to zero? Or do you have to buy your way up?

We could twin this with penalty box section (aka the 'naughty' section).

Max

P.S.: I see that I can't report my post as bad. No self-analysis allowed?

I guess not. I had origianlly hoped I could give myself 1000 points and then hit John up for a raise. Since that didnt work I figured I would just spend my days blasting raiders. But that didnt work either, someone came along and felt bad for him I guess because now he has like 11 points.

**Max Levine** · 12-19-05, 10:13 AM

Hey! That previous post gave me 10 more pts!

Here's another for 10 more: the name of the poster rewarding or discrediting the post should appear in that little box.

huh? uh huh! 10 more points for me! :+blobs-1+

Max

**Dave** · 12-19-05, 10:19 AM

it wont allow you to vote for the same person over and over

Or pretty much spot-on.
