I stole this from another forum that uses the same system.









Stolen from another forum.



One of the coolest and possibly the best feature is the reputation rating system. This system allows for people to see if someone is well respected in the community and also allows more direct feedback on posts. Reputation can go both ways, you can get 'good' reputation if you help people out, contribute to discussions, and are a generally overall good person. Now, if you are a butt, post things that don't pertain to the discussion, and flame away, you'll get negative reputation.

Now, the big problem is, what should I reward good/bad reputation for? While it's mostly up to you, here's what to look for...

Giving Good Reputation:
-Post helped somebody that asked a question
-Post added a new viewpoint or experience to the discussion
-Poster wrote a good reply to a statement
-Post applauded somebody for something done that's good
-Raises questions on a subject

Give Bad Reputation to a post that seems to flame someone without and justification, is off topic with the discussion, and overall seems like a troll post.

Bad reputation SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN TO PEOPLE WHO DISAGREE WITH YOU. Remember, everyone has different experiences with things and views Family Guy differently.

Remember, this isn't a constraint, but instead a guide path, and once you understand what supposed to happen, you can go out and help improve the community. Remember, reputation points are for people to recognize those who are outstanding people in the community, not friends or a popularity contest.

Okay, so I posted a thread yesterday saying Crack was back and in my User CP where the "reputations" pop up it has the thread title and then date and time it started and then a comment box and in that comment box it says "she is hot". How did that get there? WHo put it there and what does it mean?

Just curious.

[Dustin]

How do you write a repuation or see one?

[The Bug]

crap...I got another one - same thread but says "she's kewl"

HOW do I find out who wrote them
HOW do I write one for others?

[lolacharisse]

I have yet to see one myself!!!!

I have NO reputation!!! Waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yeah, so how does this thingy work exactly????

[The Bug]

Lola - I think I figured it out - look in your user CP and under the threads listed - you should see one I just did for you.

[lolacharisse]

COOL!!!! How do you do it??...and how come there is 2?

One says Lola is awesome...and the other 2 min. later is blank.

[The Bug]

I don't know I have a few blank ones too...

but, do you see the scale up by the number post you are? Well, click on it (someone else's) and that is where you agree or disagree and leave a comment.

[Daniel294]

To add to reputation, click on the scale near "report post"

To see the reputation given to you... look at your user CP.

I'll tell more later, but I have to go.

[lolacharisse]

Okay, how long do you have to wait before you add another rep. thingy to a person? It says to spread the reputation, before giving it to whomever again.........I have. So how much longer do I gotta wait. Do I have to give a rep. thingy to everyone on the site?? YOIKES!!!!

[lolacharisse]

OMFG!!!! I have to give it to 20 peeps!!!

YOIKES!!!! I don't wanna........ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the rep thingy!! heh heh

Alrighty then.

[bobbo4554]

how do you see who gave you what comments i only got 3 : insert sad face:

[lolacharisse]

I don't think you can see WHO gave them, just what they said, if they commented.

[bobbo4554]

ahh ok that kinda sucks

[lolacharisse]

Only fair though. Cause if you get a bad one, or give a bad one, you can't tell who it is, and they don't know it was you. Less bickering that way. LOL

[bobbo4554]

true lola i didnt think of that

[lolacharisse]

btw...I was one of the ones to give you a good rep thingy, just can't remember what I said in the comment.

[bobbo4554]

thank you!!!! :)

[lolacharisse]

You are very welcome!!!!

[LI Phil]
