kobac Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Although I am a member of this forum since 2006. I have status - member, while others who have joined say 2012. having veteran status. I admittedly don't have a large number of posts (because as you can see I don't speak good English), but I think this way of ranking members is not good. I think that it should be linked to the time since we are on this forum. :angel::smartass: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]Everything is possible ...
Aginor Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Don't know if that would say anything either. Someone could have joined in 2004 and then never read the forums or posted. You surely wouldn't call him a veteran. Using post count is equally dumb IMO. You could do 1000 posts in some meaningless chit-chat thread, or just write "YAY, I approve" in every thread as soon as somebody else says something. That wouldn't make your presence any more useful. Actually I would vote to completely drop that BS status, except for moderators and devs, along with the visible post counter and the join date. It just encourages people to judge you by your status or post count or join date instead of what you are saying. Also it encourages spamming IMO. DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet
kobac Posted July 3, 2014 Author Posted July 3, 2014 Exactly, I agree. Besides what's clever you say, or what you've done for this community is seen by reputation power meter, what is the most useful thing that can be seen about some member. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]Everything is possible ...
Kenan Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 I agree with the OP. I demand a "Supreme Veteran" title under my name for blessing these forums with my in-depth, thought-provoking, life-changing posts for all these years!

blackbelter Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 I agree with the OP. I demand a "Supreme Veteran" title under my name for blessing these forums with my in-depth, thought-provoking, life-changing posts for all these years! Yeah, me too. But I prefer the word 'Master of Everything' to be displayed under my name.
Falcon_S Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) If all instead nickname presented first and last name and instead avatars set's image of itself, profession, other personal information and allow the application and other members to bind to your private life this status would have some meaning. Just maybe. This is an application and for it you are just a data which gives her meaning to "life". In return, depending on how often you appears in her life she give you some status (title) as a "reward". If you want more prizes of it you'll have to give yourself more and more. Do we want this? I do not want this and because that I do not care what she "thinks" about Me. This is how I see it. Edited July 3, 2014 by Falcon_S Quote Немој ништа силом, узми већи чекић!

Sceptre Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Regarding the title under your name, I've seen other boards where you can customize it and that works quite well. EDIT. Does anyone know how to change "Reputation Power" to n/a? I've seen a few with it and I've never understood the rep system myself....

Sabre-TLA Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) From the FAQ: Reputation What is reputation? Reputation is a way of rating users depending on the quality of their posts. If the administrators have enabled reputation, then the reputation icon will be visible in posts. Reputation may be positive Positive Reputation Icon , negative Negative Reputation Icon or neutral Neutral Reputation Icon. Negative reputation may only be given if the administrator has enabled this. Neutral reputation is only given when the person giving reputation does not meet the criteria set by the administrator to affect someone else's reputation. How do I give reputation? To give reputation, click on the reputation icon in the relevant post. This will reveal a form to complete with the reputation type and the reason for giving the reputation. If negative reputation is disabled then it will not be displayed in this form. You may not give reputation for the same post twice. How do I know what reputation I have received? You can view the reputation that you have received in your User CP (User Control Panel) where it is displayed at the bottom of the User CP page. Here you will see the latest reputation that you have received and whether this is positive, negative or neutral. Your total reputation will be shown as series of reputation indicators in your posts and profile. The more positive your reputation, the more positive icons will be shown. The more negative your reputation the more negative icons will be shown. How much reputation is given? What is reputation power? If the administrator has enabled this, the amount of reputation that each user will give (or take away if negative) is shown in the user's posts as 'Reputation Power'. The value of the reputation power is determined by the administrator and may increase over time depending on the settings they have applied. What if I don't want anyone to see my reputation? You can disable the display of your reputation by going to your User CP and selecting Edit Options. On this page you will find a check box labelled 'Show Your Reputation Level'. Un-checking this box will remove the display of your reputation and replace it with the Reputation Disabled icon. You can still give and receive reputation while your reputation display is disabled. I don't see this on my user CP so maybe it's disabled? Edited July 3, 2014 by Sabre-TLA MapleFlagMissions - Read Our Blog for Updates

SkateZilla Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Nope. Probably just as well. Can you imagine what corkers some of these folk will come up with? :megalol: One less headache to police. true true.. in my experiences with vBulletin/PhpBoards etc etc, There's a General "Rank" Chain that users go through by post count, then there's the Special/Custom Groups that users need to be assigned to by an admin. When I was Mod'in for Turn10/Forza, it was the same, people that posted like 20 posts a day would fly through rank chain while people that only posted once a day would sit at new member for like 3 months. Microsoft's Passport.net integration only made it worse. I get jumped on by everyone on MS Linked Forums (Xbox, Forza, Halo etc) because they all use Passport.net Login which uses XBL Member info for posting privy/ranks, and since I'm a 12 yr XBL Subscriber/Beta tester I trump everyone.
