I'm posting this because I haven't seen a formal announcement yet, so if I'm wrong just let me know, and I will take it down.

Alright, if anyone didn't notice yet, (I didn't right away) we now have a reputation system.

You can give other members positive or negative rep using the icon on the left side panels of one of their posts, near the online status circle, or their info page. You can also leave a comment about why you posted a certain rep.

You are only able to rep a certain amount of times per given period, so use your points wisely with other people. Rep points are a great way to show you're appreciation or disapproval towards someone, but like I said, use your points wisely.

As you gain more rep points, there is a small green indicator near the post count, which displays the user's current rep power.

In your User CP, at the bottom, you can see where you have gotten rep from. (Which post someone gave you rep for) and also, an optional comment about it.

I just made this thread to teach the basics of Reputation, and to let more people know it was implemented, because I myself didn't notice it.

Cobaltss.NET FTW

 

I added to your rep, as a test and a thank you. Can you see what I wrote or does it give you feedback on it?

 

i kinda like that idea of a rep.

 

yes, thanks.

Bump for the morning crew

 

how can you tell what people wrote about you?

 

I just noticed it today and was like what the hell. I guess we'll see how it goes.

 

Check your User CP.

oh ok....i guess i haven't gotted any then lol there's nothing there

 

I think reputation is a good way to promote people being helpful, and deter some people from being ******** all the time

 

+Rep given!!!

 

awesome, thanks man!!!!!

 

cool we have this over a clubrsx too!

 

I think you can click the scales or whatever within a post to see if you have gotten rep on it...

 

can u only veiw this stuff if ur a premium member?

 

This is kinda like the Trader rating on the srt forums. I like it!

 

Thanks for the explanation Hack!

 

bumpppp

 

+Rep For HackAbuse

 

 

I don't know why but I see this getting abused. I hope not though because it could really deter from the "you should have gotten the 2.0" crap that goes on here way too much. I hope this works out good.

oh yeah, +rep for explain this to us hack

 

this seems like a really good idea

 

yeah i cant see any so i guess i dont have any yet

 

I agree about that, partially...lol...

Any good idea usually can have a good devil's advocate as well. It will be interesting to see if Jonel or a moderator can get on here and let us know the "official" rules about how often you can "rep" someone and what precautions have been taken to monitor this for abuse. Overall, I think it's a great idea and this site seems to be getting better everyday...

 

click User CP at the top, select User Control Panel and the feedback is at the bottom of the page. hth

or, click this User CP
