Reputation and Reputation power
 

Whats up with the reputation thing and the road? :laugh: It looks funny.
Can users rate eachother?

*goes to look for more information*

teeny, yes. :) Later I shall try to explain as it works.
I yet up to the end have understood. :gigi:

oki, Igor
Will wait and see then.. :heh:

The reputation system explained.

Any comments, ideas and questions are welcome. :D

Thanks for explaining the reputation thing in detail. :rose:

It sounds really nice, a simple way to show your appreciation to other people. :) I've already increased the rep of a few people. It's gonna be interesting to see how things evolve as time passes by. I'm wondering what kind of other roads there are. :D

Personally, I think the reputation thingy really spices up our life on the forum. :D Hopefully, it is a feature that will stay... as long as people know what they are doing... :kawai:

so being at an unknown quantity means you don't have enough reputation points to be on a distinguished road, right?

Lux, I don't know. I'll ask Igor on the Russian forum, and get back to you with an answer.

This is great ...

oh well .. I've already live in a world where people fight and challenge and manipulate and stab each other from the back for reputation .. and I am competitive too .. but .. for different reason.

Anyway... I see this as a cool thing from programming perspective.

I absolutely agree with you Denial ...
Yesterday i tried to replied but it didn't work......

I wanted too, to congratulate sincerely Kate & Haku for their honoring ranks: cause it's a good thing that all their translations which bring so much to us are recongnized....but it didn't work neither to reply.... :(

I think we feel well on tatysite cause we feel confortable....and to meet there some friends could help us to destress from the work or outside life sometimes....
This system makes me think to a card of a party, with points , to test if you are a good "citizen" or not....and makes me think to the private sector job...where you have to fight and "eat" the guys who work with you to be recognized as the FIRST !

Personnaly , I hate "competition"...it isn't my state of mind , at all....what does it proove about your human side , on a forum?....
And this judgement with points about other members....seems to be abble to kill just our natural way, our spontanity and could give birth to problems in the relations between the members....

I'm here to relax , to appreciate some comments or productions....but certainly not to be in a world of "stress" and "pushfulness"....

The best things you can offer to the others are the things you can give to them just for their own pleasure , the "free" gifts....If you offer things to the others to be recognized YOURSELF as the best .....this has absolutely no valor for me...

I think we wrote often kind sentences to say thank you or congratulate the other people on the forum....
I prefer this kind sentences to points and "evaluations".....
Just my point of view...

Nath, do you have a firewall or pop up killer? It might not allow the reputation window to show :)

Don't think we are this competitive either. Sure it might be fun for a little while, but in the end I think I'll go back to the old system. I'm too much at ease with things as they are right now, or at least as they used to be.

Of course if people have trouble regarding me I would like them to tell me instead of decresing to reputation. But then again this gives people a chance to do it under cover.

I dunno.. I will agree with denial that the system is interesting from a programmers point of view for sure.

teeny i think you get to see whose increased and decreased you though, under the user control panel

:none: oh.. wooops. I better go check

thank you for the info

Haha, I agree with you teeny and denial. Not only the reputation but everything this forum has undergone has been quite interesting..
I like the idea of "honorary members" though. But I can't find where it says the actual points you have for reputation, or the power you have or stuff like that.. maybe as you said my pop-up killer is taking care of it :p

I have 14 points.. Last point being from staringelf it seems.. so thank you, staringelf for that one.
Where to locate a full list I have no idea. But the total number and last recieved is in the bottom of the main window in the CP, goku

goku, you can find your total number of points on the main page of your "control panel". As to the power etc, I'll find out from Igor.

gave it some thought.

I won't be playing along with the credit system. It's not that I don't appreciate posts by you guys, it's more that I appreciate all posts, so it would make no sense crediting individual members.
Most of the people in here I consider my friends. I don't go around telling my real life friends how good/bad they are either.

So if noone gets a credit from me, it's not that I don't appreciate them being here. It'll simply be because I don't give credit all together. With that said I would appreciate it if I didn't get any credit either :laugh: cos I like being part of the mayority in here. And people should consider what I say instead of looking at reputation or power and then read whats being said. Even though it would mean the same to top posting members I'm sure, it would be confusing to the new members.

teeny, I think you misunderstood the point of the reputation system. You are not supposed to rate a person's post because he is your friend, or because you like that person or whatever other reason. It's more like, if a person created an interesting thread, you give him a few points. If a person provided some help to you on finding an mp3, for example, you give him some credits. If a person took liberty to upload a video for everyone, you increase his reputation. Do you see what I am saying? Also, if a person is a trouble maker, and caused a fight, you decrease his reputation.

You are not expected to go back and rate every post from the beginning of this forum. It's entirely up to what you feel right - when you really appretiate a person's post (like in the cases above) you give him some points. Do you see where I am going with this?

This way people will see who in this forum community contributes more etc and be able to turn to them for help and assistence if required. Also, Igor, who is not a frequent visitor on the English forum, will be able to judge whether or not to ban a person based on his/her reputation (in case the banning circumstances come up).

exactly. It's the same reasons I don't like it.
Lets take the computer help thread. I helped a bit in there, and so did other members. The help was provided for the sake of helping. And people placed their thank yous if it had worked and such.
Contributing in the Island of Arts is also a thing I did because I wanted to share. It's nice when people use walls ect. and that is the beauty of sharing. Not that people can pad your shoulders and go: Well done I'll give you points for this one.

Uploading/hosting files has always been appreciated and I will admit we haven't been thanking the hosts as much as we could, but I don't think they are doing it because they wan't to reach a higher level than everyone else.

Banning people for being given bad credit? Yiks.. please make sure everyone hands out credit for the right reasons then. Cos already we see people at different roads and they actually don't really belong there. The road system will make looking at individual cases less needed. So if one shares a lot of files and such one is safe from banning and can stand some bad credit better. Well that'll make helping more "rewarding" will it not?

Glad that I'm not expected to go back and credit people, cos I have already given credit in the form of appreciation in the past.

I guess with signing out of credit system I better follow the rules. Which I actually think I've been doing since day one. Even without a credit system hanging over my head :)

teeny, it's your choice whether to use this sytem or not. It's just that I personally think it will encourage people to share, make interesting threads, and generally contribute to this forum. :) Cuz I think that if a person will gave enough credits, s/he'll be able to become an "Honorary Member" and have excess to larger PM inbox, and have additional editing features in threads etc... If you're not interested, fine with me...

Not interested no.. rather be a user as I am right now. I will rely on my posts to be interesting all the same, and I will share things like I've always done. Sure I'll pass out on the bonus features, but it'll mean just the same to me.

about the banning thing that is to be discussed with the mods like the rules says, yeah? or would that part be skipped with reputation introduction?

teeny, I just used the banning thing as an example. Didn't mean it literally. For each person the banning results in different circumstances. It all comes down to Igor's decision anyway.

Anyway, good luck being a member. I am sure you will get your head around the reputation system ones it settles in. :D

If the system to not like, I can remove her. :)

Thank you. Hope I don't need luck though.
Don't think I'll change my mind. I can be pretty stubborn when it comes to things I find unfair.

The system yeah? I, for one, would like that :)

why remove it? i think it´s very interesting

i think those of us who want to use it should feel free, and those that dont, should just pretend like it isnt there ... its not an obligatory thing to use after all. use it or not ... i think the aim is to add some variety to the forum and keep people interested in one of the best forums out there. after all, how many months didnt we go without any real tatu news ? something has to keep people coming here ... and its just another feature to keep it interesting.

I find the forum interesting as it is, so I'll stay out of useing it either way. How will it be considered a good thing if people post because of the system? Are things more interesting because there is a "bonus" in the end?
Those of us that are still here and those who can't be here all visited for a number of reasons. I don't think credits were a part of the reasons. Why should it be so now?

I think it's fun and i like it. :kawai: I don't think it should be removed. Personnaly i don't really intend to use the decrease function unless someone makes a really outrageous post, but i certainly like being able to show my appreciation to people whose post is interesting or funny. :yes:

And it's cool to be able to check in your User CP what posts have gotten reactions from people, a few people have already increased my rep, an one has decreased it, hehe, that's interesting. :D

I like the reputation system and i hope it will stay. People shouldn't take it *that* seriously anyway, it's no more unfair than the post counts (or the stars or special "titles" you get on some other forums), and yet, people are happy to brag when they get 2k, 3k, or 4k posts, it's just human nature. :)

Well about the postcounts that has been fun to follow yeah. And reaching any level has been fun too. Post counts one can control easily. Post and number will increase. It has nothing to do with who is being appreciated or not.
Actually people with fewer post numbers are among those I respect the most. With the few posts they have, they really get their opinions stated. I admire that a lot.
I appreciate translations and contributions a lot, and if appreciation is to be shown in stars and roads fine by me too. Just count me out. Human nature isn't always good though.

Tina... calm down .. I just gave you a reputation for being stubborn .. LoL .. and if you get more stubborn .. I'll give you more reputation .. LoL ..

:none: which proves my point. Stating my opinion shouldn't give me reputation points.. Opinions and ideas were allowed. I'll share my point of view in this matter, and it gives me points.
Good thing is that if I understood the system right you have to credit someone else now before you can give me points again :p

Happy 2250 posts though.. (and yes I see the irony in saying that in this thread :lalala: )

uhuh .. doesnt work that way .. I just decrease $in reputation and warned her not to complain .. then I tried to add your reputation .. it doesnt work .. it said I have to give reputation to someone else before I can give to you again .. wait .. I look for more person .. hang on there ..

you reached your minimum of the day or so :p Muahahahhaha.. or you have to credit a lot of people first.. anyway doesn't matter to me

well .. I gave a reputation to Nath ... then I tried to give you again .. its doesnt work .. anyway .. just wanted to reputate you that your smiless on your last 2 posts warm my heart ... :dead:

so who is rating me? :gigi:

and how come i dont see that in my Control Panel? :confused:

edit: ah ha, thanks denial, i got how it works now! :coctail:

i´ll give you, coz i must before i can decrease denial´s :bebebe: and to suck up a little, coz maybe i´ll come to bg this summer :gigi:

My connection is very slow .. it said some about DoS attack on ISP .. its hard to give reputation at this time . .. but somehow . I managed to give you one Cools .. its free .. my token of appreciation for being my friend.. and so you could see how it looks like ..LoL

It's below the threads you are following

Told ya, denial.. you can't rate me right away again.. and I can say whatever I want to in the meanwhile.

yep ... I see now Tina .. thanks for the reputation too Cools ..

and $in , LoL .. sorry .. I don't think you can decrease me yet .. until you give more people reputations .. LoL LoL

$in :hooligan:

yah... i can´t decrease your reputation..

yet...! :nunu:
