How can we know who gave us points? I may want to thank them for mass generosity.

From my last post:

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.



I See You When You're Sleeping
is it up the person giving the point to leave his/her name in the comment then?

No. It's up to them if they want to comment ont he post, but their username is included automatically. However, I've been wondering about that. I think it should be anonymous, to ensure more honest feedback. And anyone who wishes to make themselves known could still do so in the comment box.

Thoughts?



I See You When You're Sleeping
I can see a comment but no username.

I think it should be left out anyway and if the person giving the point wants to declare their name they should put it in the comment.



I personally wouldn’t have any problem with it either way but if it is set on anonymous, some of the members might be inclined to use it more…

Is there any way of seeing another users amount of reputation points.

Yes, and no. As of right now, you can't view the specific number of points they have, but you can view their ranking...it's represented by the little dots next to their post count on each post, and on their user profile. The dots pretty much speak for themselves, but you can hold your mouse over them to view the user's rank.

Ahh thanks i was wondering what they were.

Got off my Damn Fence



On the site I visit that uses reputation you can see who gave it to you. I KNOW who did but it'd be nice to see a user name if it's not too difficult.

Every single one of your questions has been addressed already...including the one about negative reputation (which you don't have yet...if you did, the color of those blobs/dots would be different).

I See You When You're Sleeping
Yoda, I still don't see where the username of the person giving the point is. I can see the comment and the link to the thread but no username.

It was me. The image thing was the first thing I saw that I liked when I found out things had been activated.

But as far as the system goes, I like the anonymity.
If someone really wants a member to know they appreciate the post, they can put their username in the comment.

In that case I'd guess that it's one of those things only the Admin can see by default. That can be changed...however, I'm thinking it might be better if it was left as-is. People will rate posts more accurately if they don't have to disclose their identity when doing so...and if they don't mind making themselves known, they can do so in the "Comments" field.



I See You When You're Sleeping
Groovy, that will be that then. I can now rest easy and assured that I'm not just blind in bits of both of my eyes.

thank wah.

Is there any way I can see my reputation in numbers?


You get one point of reputation-altering power for every 365 days since your registration.
You get one point of reputation-altering power for every 1,000 posts to your name.
You get one point of reputation-altering power for every 100 reputation points you have.
Does this mean that someone who hasn't been here for a year, doesn't have a 1000 posts, and doesn't have 100 points of reputation has no points to give?
