i have only pointed out the negative becaus it is that causing the most trouble. if only the positive reputation would be availabe there were only the possibilities to make a positiv reputation or let it be. my signature is a kind of my humor. the first is a joke about much negative reputations and down i say i need no reputation (but can't force anyone not to do it Sad )

Arguments have been started many times on this forum without this rep system so cant blame that for previous, the smooth mood can be changed by one post which again as happened without the rep system being available Smile

what arguments? about what? posts can be deleted, the reputation stays for good, if i'm right it can't be deleted (yet). And who says the reason is right or not wrong?


But the humor part yes some do push there luck with that Sad which there are moderators for if it gets out of hand, but if we are not aware of this problem that somebody is upset at this humor there is not much we can do about it but thanks to PM we can be Smile

discuss humor by pm? what are you dreaming of? the edge between humor and insulting is often very close to it. everybody feels different in that kind. and some are not really careful with their humor. they have to be much more decent.

There are two sides to every story, i am used to this rep system from another forum so i have seen both sides many times, we have not started this wearing blindfolds Smile

never heard about that before. Normaly it's useless in support forums. For me there is no reason for it. Nobody is perfect. Even those "high reputated".

But i can respect your thoughts on the matter.

Thanks!

Every negative member reputation and Thumb down -button on posts set's the stated member under pressure. So this person feels attacked and starts to defend his/herself. How more negative statement the member gets how more argessive he gets. So it's a matter of time members start to fight and insult each other and the smooth mood here is gone. Not only public. Some may handle a negative reputation very good, some not. But it may lead to much more personal attacks like now.

The kind of humor of some members here are not funny to others. They should think twice if their humor is not understood.

Just a warning.

As all have there own viewpoint on this new feature i can respect that Thumb up but like most new options added to the forum there as always been them who complain Smile so we knew some would like and some would not, just like in real life there are things we have to do like work and pay bills Angry but we take it as normal just like all the added features already on here, EXAMPLE: "Private Messages" now that option was on here before i joined so its normal for me, but at the time there will of been those who thought it was not needed? the "Thanks Button" same thing, basically it will become a background feature like the others in time.

Yes if you like something you can press the thanks button, if you really like you can send a PM and press the thanks button and now there is the new option of repping, good, ok or bad, but these are just like the other added features on the forum, meaning they are an option nothing more, nobody is forced to use them its optional Smile

Re: New Feature: Member Reputation

I really like that new serial film: the REPUTATIONERS. Thumb up Thumb up
I wait each new episode, all of them are fascinating with envy, jealousy, humility, love, hate,
old frienship or brand new friendship, humour and tears: HOLLYWOOD BE CAREFUL, the REPUTATIONERS are in the place ! Big Grin
Dear admin, thank you, i had never past so much time on the site than these last two days. Big Grin
More seriously, like i have already said, i like that plus but i think that some members don't use it well.
For me, awards are useful in life, real or virtual life, they salute some efforts and encourage for the furthers but i think that the PING PONG is not necessary.
If you are awarded by someone, you are not obliged to award him too, a nice PM or a neutral reputation message, it's sufficient.
Take the time to study each other backgrounds on the site before awarding.
According to me, a reputation point is a super joker to give only to the members who really deserve it.
For the daytime routine, we have thanks and PM or nice messages in posts.

Sorry for that too long contribution, tony you infected me...Big Grin...and have a nice day. Smile

Re: New Feature: Member Reputation

Honestly speaking i need no reputation and in my mind there is the risk to put members into prefab drawers like good guy, bad guy or important, not important.
Except the posts or videos i don`t know anything about the members so i can only estimate these posts or videos.
About 50% of my posts are ironic about 40 % are not true and 10% are serious. If someone like my posts he can write an answer or put the Thumb up and when he dislike it he may give an answer too or put Thumb down and end. I believe the new feature is wthout added value.
So my decision: when someone wants my reputation he may give me mine. For positive reputations you will perhaps get a positive one and for a negative one you will get a 100% positive.
Thanks in advance. Cool

Re: New Feature: Member Reputation

May I just say, nice Mr sucker man, sir, most humbly, that I do tend to favour a contrary opinion.
I do not feel that this wonderful new 'Reputation' score will have any effect on members posts.
I know it has not effected me ... not in the slightest ... honest ...

Re: New Feature: Member Reputation

guess this new feature won't feature me that much Tongue

Re: New Feature: Member Reputation

It seems to me that some people are taking this far too seriously ...

Does your 'Reputation' have any effect on what you can do in the forum?
Do the like/dislike 'thumbs' effect your enjoyment of a post?

If you don't like something just ignore it ...
... and we'll give you negative scores for being 'no fun any more' Big Grin .

Re: New Feature: Member Reputation

with the reputation and the negative thanks button the members here posting getting more and more stated. Those who are much more critical are those who will loose. Those have to expect many bad votes and reputations.

and those who have made much posts and stayed here for longer are not always good as the seem. So the new ones could be to much influenced by them while those who look very critical at this board are arranged as a kind of tyrant.

Of course, this has a big influence to new members and this new feature is similar to this, only promoted to another level (a worse level).
Sorry, but I really do not find a good idea if people are classified by others as good or bad members. I also do not understand why these giving the reputations arguments are visible to all and not only to the single member.

If you want to find which member is the most useful for the forum, give here a simple thanks/posts ratio (a number of thanks received divided by a number of posts written).
Higher ratio means more reputable member.

Re: New Feature: Member Reputation

Ah, I forgot that bit, you can always update a rating. E.g. if you have given a rating to a user and you rate him again then your previously given rating will be updated.

it's similar to the expert, enthusiast or student. maybe this has some influence to new members, too.
but it's as always in life: think about what you read and don't accept everything without thinking about it.
it's just an add and nobody will be forced to participate in it. the missing edit argument is an important and good argument. also it takes some time to think about giving a reputation and give this with the writen argument.
I for myself prefer at the moment the fine weather and have other things to do till wednesday and so I won't participate in this till thursday. Smile

we wouldn't add a new feature for becomming a closed club, or?
would be easier to move to another place instead of spending some time with this place.
and in general everyone in this forum is a foreigner, for mosts english isn't the mother tongue and also everyone started with his first post.
so no need to worry about. Smile
