FYI on Rep.

[God's Toy]

I just wanted to make sure we are all clear on the Reputation Received points system we have at MW.

As you know you can give rep to members for good, funny, well written or informative posts.

You can view your own receved rep points only in your user CP (here: User CP)

If you are looking at a users post and you see the words 'Rep Power' what you are seeing is the amount of points that user can give to you in one go.
Rep Power is based on a combination of variables among which include: How long you've been registered, how many posts you have, how often your threads/posts are ranked positively and how much rep you have given out. It is not your Reputation Received points total as as I said that is in your User CP

If anyone has questions about any of this please just ask.

PS: While I'm here if you ever want to see whos on the top of the points, view the member list and click on Reputation

Regards,

Peter

Thank you Peter, for the explanation on how the Rep Power Point System works!!

[Samael]

Yep yourself and Lorri are the two users who send the most love around this forum.

Well, it is only natural, I think .... .....

[Kiran]

And as you know...I love to share the lurve around Good one you too Polly

[Stargazer]

What happens with all the points ?

And is it possible to have some kind of a notification when we do receive a Rep point ?like we get for any VM's ?

[God's Toy]

Like anything regarding points, they are just there to build up, more points is more power to give, more sataus, you can share even more of the love around the forum. It's just a nice way of seeing your posts are appreciated by other members on MW.
Rewards could be set up too.

Yep notifications could be set up also but as it's not part of the software now so the code will have to be added and this means lotts of testing and bugs to sort before it's live.. it may be a while.

I'm seeing the same names use this over and over and it would be nice to see more take the time to say 'thanks' when you read a nice post...

Yes, I am guilty of being rather zealous with distributing the rep points .... I like it, though it seems important at the same time!

[God's Toy]

Dont get me wrong Polly, it IS a good thing that you and Lorri are using it, i mean if no one was it would be disabled. lol or maybe we should give members the powers to disapprove posts too? If they dont like a post they could take points away! Mhahhahahaaaaa!!!

[Narnia]

I am not getting you wrong my friend! I am happy to admit I've been zealous with spreading the lurve!!

And I will

[Stargazer]

If the Rep Power is based on a combination of variables among which include: How long you've been registered, how many posts you have, how often your threads/posts are ranked positively and how much rep you have given out.....

...Then Peter,how come your Rep Power is twice that of Crystallorri ,whose post count is far ahead of yours ? Is it because you have given out much more Rep points ?

[God's Toy]

It's something I set myself, it's part of the 'admin' profile settings. As people's rep giving powers goes up the 'admin' has to be able to give or take more as needed or when called on to do so.
This is why I dont give many out like a regular members but I do 'boost' those I feel need a helping hand or can take away if needed too.

When a member joins up they get a points for doing so, if a member becomes a mod the same thing happens, all ranks will receive points.

Also as suggested by a member, users may receive rewards for reaching targets in accumulated rep or rep power, this will be automated and so will need testing, you may see my power go up, down or sometimes off completely for and as long as testing warrens.

As the rep system is still in test the number of points given or received may change over time for all members.

All right, thanks.. wasn't aware of rep for a while...

However I can see achieved rep, but I am totally missing the point of how to -send- rep.. or is that an administrator-task..?

[Mr. Brightside]

Hey A-One, To leave rep for someone just click on the little scales in the corner of the post you want to leave rep for and if you wish you can leave a comment for them

[A-one]

As I already stated in your rep. thanks... I finally found that scale...
Anyway, I actually did post some good reps so far..
But if I'm correct I'm not able to read my sent reps. afterwards eh?
Anyway, it's a good and fun thing thing to do..

Thanks!
