I've got a reputation, don't you know? :D ;) Is anybody else on a distinguished road round here? :p :

[Mark]

Doesn't distinguished just mean you are going bald? :p

[ArrowsFA1]

Most of us are just an unknown quantity :p :

[Dave B]

I'm not going bald, just my forehead's getting bigger!

[Brown, Jon Brow]

How do you change someones reputation? I just clicked on the scales under Marks name and said he was a 'Forum Legend' but he is still an unknown quality. :s

I was one of the people who gave you + rep So don't be disappointing me :p

[tin-top fan]

does that mean that it's possible to negative rep people then?

So, who do I have to pay to put me on the path then? ;)

[Daniel]

You don't want to be paying people. Then more people would own a stake in you.

:p

P.S You should be on the road now.

[Ian McC]

P.S You should be on the road now.


Yay me, back at ya!

[Dave B]

You will become famous soon enough ;)

[Daniel]

You will become famous soon enough ;)
When will I, will I be...... :mark:

I like your location Ian :p It has inspired me to change mine :p

[Dave B]

I'd love to help, but:

[Daniel]

I'd love to help, but:
Ah well. I'll just have to sign in as Caroline :p

[martinbalmer]

Ah well. I'll just have to sign in as Caroline :p

:mad: That's cheating :p :

[Daniel]

:mad: That's cheating :p :
Hey! Caroline gave you some + rep yesterday while she was in class teaching if I remember correctly :p Same for Dave too I think :p She's been giving out so much rep she's also given out oo much in the last 24 hours as well! :p

[Dave B]

Hmmm, where's my sockpuppet when I need him? :p :

[AndySpeed]

I think soon the negative rep feature might start to be used.

I too am all out of rep for now, I can't remember how much I gave out. What's the daily limit?

[martinbalmer]

Hey! Caroline gave you some + rep yesterday while she was in class teaching if I remember correctly :p

I must remember to say thank you then with some + rep in return for Caroline

[Daniel]

Hmmm, where's my sockpuppet when I need him? :p :
Love your location there Dave :mark:

Did I mention that Caroline doesn't actually exist? I just made her up to make myself feel loved :( I wish Mark hadn't deleted all the 0 post members! Because I'm reliably informed that I registered a lot of accounts when the whole Susy's pub vs Dave's pub thing was on :p Or so I'm told :erm:

[Daniel]

I must remember to say thank you then with some + rep in return for Caroline
She's appreciate it :D

I think you actually have to put a comment in with your rep for it to actually boost someone's rep.

Tbh I think rep is a good thing. If someone is constantly posting rubbish and being rude there is at least some kind of indicator and if someone is renowned for being helpful and friendly then their rep will reflect that as well :)

[Dave B]

And you think this is a good thing? :p :

[Brown, Jon Brow]

She's appreciate it :D

Are that explains why I have no reputation. :p :

[martinbalmer]

She's appreciate it :D


I can't find a post... and the search thing doesn't turn any up because it's not working yet...

[Daniel]

And you think this is a good thing? :p :
Yes strange innit? :p

But seriously it'll hopefully be a way in which people who wouldn't ordinarily voice their opinions to have a say on what they think of someone's posts. Or at least that's how it seems to work on other forums :)

[Caroline]

I can't find a post... and the search thing doesn't turn any up because it's not working yet...
Here you go! :p

I totally agree with Daniel. Everything that Daniel says is right. All hail king Daniel :p

[Ian McC]

There is someone on here you use as a sockpuppet!? :eek:

[Caroline]

My!! I have been busy!

Off with his head :D

The limit is two per day at the moment.

[viper_man]

I think the rep thing could definately prove to be a good thing, if someone posts something a large number of people disagree with then instead of bombarding the mods with reports or complaints (unless necessary of course) we can just bash the rep button like theres no tomorrow!

[harvick#1]

That's how it usually works in other forums :)

Looks at my CP today and found I'd got negative rep "because I'm Daniel" for posting my ""What would you like to learn how to do thread" :dozey: Just a bit uncalled for methinks.

[AndySpeed]

posting my ""What would you like to learn how to do thread" :dozey: Just a bit uncalled for methinks.

I positive rep-ed you for that! How could someone negative rep you for that thread? :dozey:

The system is very open to abuse though as you seem to have experienced :(

[Daniel]

Cheers. Not that it matters to me. But I think this could be a very positive thing for the forum. It's a positive thing for people to receive positive reinforcement for posting a good thread and I think it'll go a long way to helping to create an even better sense of community by encouraging people (myself included because I am a frequent offender) to be a big more neighbourly and play nice which can only be a good thing :)

Cheers for the rep Andy :) It shall be returned :cool:

I already feel sorry for ioan :p :

It will be alright now MS has retired :D

I feel sorry for Schmenke! :p He's got less rep than Ioan :p

[schmenke]

:bigcry:

[schmenke]

Umm... dumb question... how can you tell how much rep a user has?

[viper_man]

How many green squares, and let your mouse hover over the squares for a description

[Ian McC]

You really dont want to know :p :

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I think the reputation thing is brocken. I've got some. :erm:

[Ian McC]

People must be feeling generous today :p :

[martinbalmer]

I can see that it is no longer post counts that 'matter' but rather, how many green squares people have...

...which is good really... maybe it will promote quality over quantity!

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I've got 2 squares now!!!!!!!!!

Almost certainly brocken or someone is taking the p1$$

[Dave B]

I seem to be stuck on one :bigcry:

[harvick#1]

Im still stuck on none, WTF :laugh:

[AndySpeed]

I wonder if the green squares change colour once a member gets a certain amount of reputation? Hmmmm

[harvick#1]

they go red, when your bad, I have seen one member with it

[DonnieDarco]

Uh-Oh :D

[Ian McC]

It is always nice to pass on good things, in fact I think I will give Donnie one right now ;)

[Dave B]

You can get some ointment for that.... :eek:

[DonnieDarco]

I have 2 green cans!! How did that happen?

And thanks Ian, that was bracing ;) :D

[Ian McC]

It was great though over a little too quickly, glad to help you out with a extra green :D

[harvick#1]

And thanks Ian, that was bracing ;) :D

I just gave you the third one for you DD :D

[AndySpeed]

They're not cans! They're... beans? What are they, the old icons were like little pages

[DonnieDarco]

And I gave you and Ian one right back :D I'm exhausted!! :D

[Ian McC]

Cheers, lots of luv going on here :D

[donKey jote]

[DonnieDarco]

24 hours :D

[donKey jote]

[DonnieDarco]

Ohh, me too! :D

[donKey jote]

oh well, see you in the morning then :D

[DonnieDarco]

You betcha :laugh:

[donKey jote]

[Ian McC]

Donnie, you pimping for reputation? :D

[DonnieDarco]

Moi??? How VERY dare you ;) :D

[Speedworx]

Nice addition to the forums :)

[Daniel]

Got more bad rep for another post where I said nothing wrong :crazy: I thought people would be sensible like on other forums but it seems people aren't :rolleyes:

[Daniel]

just testing something

[Eki]

They're not cans! They're... beans?
So DonnieDarco is really BeansBeansBeans because she has three of them?

[Hazell B]

Can somebody explain the points part of rep, please?

How many people have to click on you to get one green tab thingy, and do they all score equal points?

Sorry if it's been explained already. I've not found it and claim stupidity on these matters :mark:

I think the more rep someone has the higher their ability to give/take points from your rep :) I think.....

Hazell. You've got the most rep I've seen yet on this forum! :laugh:

[Hazell B]

Have I?
And I still don't understand the system that got me where I am today :dozey:

It's all a bit too Fame Academy for me :p :

[Speedworx]

Thats huge rep!

I'll never get that high.

[Hazell B]

Okay, I'm half way to getting it sorted in my brain now.

But I have another question - and it's serious.

Are people going to expect rep back if they give it to you? Not that I'll be happy to wave it goodbye or anything, but am I expected to repay?

(Brockman get's nothing. Nothing, I tell you :p : )

If you see a post of someone's and agree with it you can. But there is no etiquette. I see it like giving a christmas present. You shouldn't give just to receive :)

[AndySpeed]

At the moment I believe a lot of members are giving rep just to get the ball rolling, and to receive. Give it a few months and I think that things will begin to slow down and rep become more 'relevant' or accurate to genuinely good content, so to speak.

[Speedworx]

I gave my first 2 to get it rolling. Now only giving if the post is something decent.

[Mark]

People are getting high scores very quickly, I might have to change the system to make it more difficult :p

Strikes me as more of an adolescent chat room popularity contest kind of thing.

Well the maturity level of some people on this forum has been shown by the fact that I got 3 bits of negative rep simply for pointing out that people are misusing the rep function and ruining it for others. Not long until it gets taken off I hope :)

Not to worry Dan. For every negative person there is a mate with a positive response to back you up ;) Unless of course you are wrong :p :

I would just ignore it :up:

Looks like Dave is bonking half the forum judging by the Rep rate he has :s hock: Wonder if Susy knows about his wandering snake...I mean eye :p : :D

[Dave B]

Well, you know, I've chatted to Daniel for years and when he came over to the UK I guess it was just inevitable.... :p

[Hazell B]

Is there a limit to how much you can send to one person?

I tried sending some to Eki as one of his posts made me laugh out loud, and the computer told me I'd already given him some (forgot that, as I've only sent three bits out and it's over several days now) so had to wait.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Give them to me instead Hazell! :p :
