I dunno about this. I see pretty much no point to having this at all. Those who've been around long enough know what's what around here. And those that haven't been around long enough don't need to feel less a part of the system by not having the posts or seniority to get more power this way.
Maybe I'm totally misunderstanding this, but everything you've said that this can do is already being done unofficially with real words and posts rather than numbers. Sounds to me like you're trying to find a way to quantify things with numbers that are already being done on this forum with posts and words and threads and other interactions on here. I kinda know what someone thinks of my posts when people respond to them. I know what they think of me when they respond too. Why would numbers give me or anyone else a better sense of this? So that my "reputation" would follow me around in *all* threads for everyone to see? I'd rather you spend your time getting the shoutbox up and running again, and getting rid of any dark-gray-on-black elements here that are now nearly impossible to read. Thanks, though, for making the side scroll bar "normal" again. Easier for me to see on my LCD laptop screen. P.S. Congrats on all the hard work. Some of the new elements are nice: user's place, etc. |
OOO Linda, you took some of the words right outa my mouth.. well, fingers...
just to add to that (and here you'll see I'm no techie), I can see everything just fine on my work comp but on my laptop at home I can't see a bloody thing. The writing is like Linda said, dark grey on black but not in the actual threads - but that's on the work comp. On my laptop, the writing turns out white on grey and I can't read it at all! on the whole tho, I really like the new set up. |

For another, the system is only about quantification if left as-is...but as ya'll know, I'm not exactly one to shy away from board modifications. ;D As I said, this is meant to be a first step towards a potentially self-moderating community, wherein a system to gauge member approval is utterly necessary. For yet another, I think it stands to reason that having a measure like reputation would encourage people to post more often, and post with a higher emphasis on quality and respect, which can only be good for all of us.

Sounds like a good idea!

There are a lot of things I like better about this recent set-up (scroll bar, message box at top, log on/off at top), but I miss a few things: 1)the "jump to" drop down menu with "who's online" and what they're viewing; 2) the quotes in shadowbox. :bawling:
Actually, it's not a big deal. I was just wondering if they were coming back. |

Looking good, Yoda. I can now see everything ok on my laptop! The writing was all white before, but now it's back to black!
Cheers! |
The 'post reply' and 'new thread' buttons seem to be unaligned vertically by just a smidge. don't ask what a smidge is.
|
A smidge is a little smaller than a pinch and a little bigger than a teensy bit.

:laugh: Lindarelly...you're so cute. :yup:

Cheers! Thanks much Yoda. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into MoFo. |

Okay, the system is now active. As it stands...

What am I missing? Something seems odd. Someone like me could start out with only a handful of points to use but you're expecting certain folks to get, like, hundreds of points from other people in order for ratings to mean anything. Why such a huge gap between points I'm able to use now and points I'll need to "be" somebody?
Is it true that, say, if I gave you a point for a particularly good post, that point is gone and I can't reuse it? Then in the beginning I may only have three or four points to give out and it'll take me ages to earn even one more back. Unless I'm just missing something ... which is highly possible. |
So should we rate every post, or just ones we feel strongly about.
And what if someone insults me, but it's a really funny insult, which way should I go? |

Oh okay, so giving out points is free. We don't need any sort of point-bank to draw from? Then what's to stop someone from coming in here and willy-nilly splashing points around (not naming names, a-hem!)?
Never mind. I'm sure this has been rehashed in this thread already. Will there be a way to see who gave you what points? |
I think what confused me, Yoda, is calling it "reputation-altering power." What the heck does that mean?

And yes, you will be able to view the last 5 (can be upped easily) reputations you've received in your User Control Panel, along with any comments the giver/taker might have left, and a link to the post in question.
