"Reputation" button thingy?
 

...is it a new thing or has it been there for ages and I've just missed it?
What does it do??? I'm intrigued...

And what about the little green "distinguished road" thingy? Where's that going I wonder?
Fascinating times we live in.

Was wondering how long it would take someone to notice...

It is new - you can add to someone's reputation - or take away from it if they do a bad post - and it is reflected in the green dot wording. "Distinguished road" is the default starting point - I didn't choose it.

The idea is that if someone has lots of "brownie points" then their thoughts are listened to, and if they have lots of demerits, maybe not so much listened to! Good for the newbies to the site.

We've been debating whether it's a good idea or not - what does everyone think?

Watch me change my mind when my "reputation" descends to "fat clueless berk" level.

User Reputation Values - What do you think the titles shoud be?
 

Here's the Default vBulletin "User Reputation Manager Values".

I think YOU guys can do better than this! :helpsmilie: :helpsmilie:

Let me know what you think they should be - the best idea set gets a free t-shirt!

NOTE: Default score you start out with is 10, "User is on a distinguished road". Every time a user approves or disapproves a post, you get 1 + or -.

Perhaps there's not enough negative, or? The numbrs aren't fixed, only the number of levels. Feel free to rejig as you think it should be! :funmeteryes:

2000 User has a reputation beyond repute

Thanks for your feedback!

Oh my...:whistling:

Difficult to see how this would add serious value to the site.....but I'll start the bidding by offering to raise Simon's rating for the low, low price of a single pint, payable on demand.

I'm happy to accept your terms Mark.
I'm starting to feel that this feature may be open to massive abuse...

Did y'all notice? "Grant has disabled reputation" Now, whatya make of that...? ?c?

I did? Looks fine to me! Anyone else?

It could be - which is why we're asking for opinions. :) It's been asked for a number of times, so it's now out for your approval - or not!

So what you're trying to say, Grant, is that if I wish to abuse the system I had better hurry up because it might just vanish at any moment? Ok, I can take a hint.

I remain unclear why it is that Simon, Thomas and I are depicted as well and truly embarked on the "distinguished road," while you, Grant, are claimed to possess only a "disabled reputation."

Mark

sad isn't it... and I have no idea why...gonna have to work on my limp I guess.

ok, found it - now you can all give me demerits!

Ok, but remember: my loyalties are for sale cheap!

I also just saw the button thing a few days ago,.....and i thougt
that someone gave me 10 points.
Hahaha....now i read that everyone starts out with 10 points!

I "think" it is a nice idea!
