why is it anonymous? not that the rep thing means or does anything, but if someone leaves a comment there, you should be able to see who the person is.

jus sayin

If you are wondering about your dive into the red shosh, it was me. I didn't know it was anonymous though.

Re: reputation system

^^ a low rep number only affects the ability to play Games. But since they do not work anyways at the moment you do not miss anything. If somebody agrees or disagrees AND leaves a comment you will see who it was. But if it is just an anonymous vote to agree/disagree it remains anonymous. So raither complain about the chicken users who put your rep down without outing themselves. :p

My shit is blue because I am hiding my reputation. Hover the mouse over it and you should see the description. BTW, I forgot that a user's view is different than mine so you are right with what you said. If people do not add their names like Didi did it, you are screwed. ;) BTW #2: LMAO at the comments on your profile. :Laugh:

yeah i'm infamous around these parts. just like didi, i always put my name whether i leave a good or bad comment. it's actually bothered me more in the past when i got green points and i didnt know from whom :)

can i make my shit blue or yellow? maybe pink?

Re: reputation system

[quote=bobjuice;656302]er .......... im still no wiser ...... what is it you mean and how does it work??[/quote]

Three elements are taking care of rep:

  1. Board related triggers like for example numbers of threads started or being registered here since x days (rep can only go up through board related triggers)

  2. Users agreeing and disagreeing with your postings (rep can go up and down)

  3. [ms] crew fucking with you. Easy rule: our points go up, yours go down. Exceptions granted. :lol:

The higher your number of rep is (be it negative or positive) the more small boxes you will see under your post count and the color changes depending on if it's good or bad rep. Also the descripton of your reputation changes depending on the amount of good or bad rep you have. You can check that out if you hover your mouse over the boxes from different member profiles.

Re: reputation system

How do you check your reputation (ie, the comments others have left)?

I don't see an option for "reputation" though.

#1092240Post 19 of 51

Re: reputation system

no you will see the comments people have left for you there

#1092253Post 20 of 51

Re: reputation system

also I think rep power should be about what important threads you started rather then letting anyone just knock you.

#1092288Post 21 of 51

Re: reputation system

hey kamal how goes it? i followed your link and the page said i had 5186 rep points- how come? then in my little box over there it says 53 or something anyway i'm gonna [EMAIL="f@ck"]f@ck[/EMAIL] off to bed now - asking all these stupid questions is doing my reputation no good whatsoever

still a bit confused but hey i was born confused

#1092418Post 37 of 51

Re: reputation system

Something is wrong...I think the reputation system must be broken. I'm the most likeable fellow, yet I'm at -499,422 right now! :o::)

#1092451Post 38 of 51

Re: reputation system

the numbers around here just don't add up yesterday miroslav the iq professor measured me at 58 then at the next hit i was 70 i'm grateful whichever and today i'm going to ask for a pay rise on the back of it :lol:

then my rep jumped too - from 1 to 5186 - so if the 53 is 100 per point then rounded i somehow got 5000 in one day?? cool - though surely it won't last forever - i can see a rep crunch on the horizon and an iq crunch sell,sell, sell bobjuice

Re: reputation system

#1092475Post 40 of 51

Re: reputation system

poor old miro - sure he is a nice fella so i'm gonna give him a rep point to pull him back to -499,421. But with me at 5186 (rounded up to 53???) it means there's still 504603 between us so i'm definitely a lot more reputationer than what he is... do i get an iq bump for that miroslav? if my rep score goes past my iq (currently 58 ) what happens then? - scary

seriously though mate minus half a million has to be bad news - if you get to 700k maybe we should have a bail-out or pass the hat round??

[quote=heretic;656517]Im guessing you get a square/box/point for each 100rep points..rounded up.[/quote]

yeah i did kind of think that for a start (even with my limited iq) but how the f$ck did i get 5000 in a day then when it took me 6 months to get 1?
