Eamoe Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Hi All, how does the rep system really work? I've clicked the little "+/-" button to see what it does, and I get a window to choose between Approval or Disapproval, plus a text field to describe my opinion about the post (or so I believe). Will this opinion be visible to all? Can I have a summary of all "reputation notes" I've given out, and also of those I've been given? I've seen several people with rep power at 1, but they had a different amount of "green squares". How is that? I'd like to better understand how all this plays.

sniperwolfpk5 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Will this opinion be visible to all? Only number is displayed. Like total 5 rep etc. Can I have a summary of all "reputation notes" I've given out, and also of those I've been given? You can see last few of reputations that you get in your Control Panel. I mean User CP. I don't know if you can see reputations that you given to some one I've seen several people with rep power at 1, but they had a different amount of "green squares". How is that?I'd like to better understand how all this plays. I don't know exactly. But what i think it is some type of title give to user. If you hover your mouse over green square you will see some type of title displayed. Please correct me if i am wrong. Win10, Intel 3rd Gen.

sniperwolfpk5 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I've clicked the little "+/-" button to see what it does, and I get a window to Actually user can see the reason of reputation.

kontiuka Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) I've seen several people with rep power at 1, but they had a different amount of "green squares". How is that? I'd like to better understand how all this plays.Rep power is how much rep you can add to or take away from someone else's reputation. The green squares are how much reputation YOU actually have. EDIT:to see how many reputation points you have, click on the +/- of one of your own posts. Now how bout repping me for my helpful post?:D Edited June 15, 2015 by kontiuka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now how bout repping me for my helpful post?:D I might do just that. But first :): Rep power is how much rep you can add to or take away from someone else's reputation. The green squares are how much reputation YOU actually have. Okay, so I think I'm lost even further. When I click the icon in one of my posts, I get info that I have 10 reputation points. So there's three figures: reputation points reputation power green squares Please explain further :( 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 768 reputation points which equates to 7 green squares. I also have a reputation power of 9 so if I add to your rep, you should now have 19 reputation points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eamoe Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Well my reputation power is as low as can be, but I've thrown you my +1 rep anyways! Thanks! EDIT: you actually DID rep me! I hadn't even noticed, thanks man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidfan Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 The green squares are just a graphical reputation of your reputation points. I have 768 reputation points which equates to 7 green squares.

You also have a few bright green squares. Maybe that has something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kontiuka Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Does not compute.ok. well, I don't know exactly how it is configured. You'd have to be a forum admin to know for sure. But, basically, the more rep you have, the bigger the green bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there has to be some logic behind this system, and it's certainly not rocket science. Thanks for your time guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Burns Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Well what about this commen: This thread has no reputation and you have 1000 reputation points. I was tryin to give some some rep? System needs an overhaul, plus you can just get negative rep for disagreeing with someone. Finally in user CP if the thread says NA does that mean threads deleted?

Demon_ Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 The reputation points can be positive or negative. The reputation power is the total of them. Attache ta tuque avec d'la broche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotth6 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I quite often get the message "Sorry you cannot give reputation to this post", even when the post is not very old. I am trying to give positive reputation, and I haven't been able to for a long time. I don't use it very much either, just every now and then when someone helps me or some one else out.

I thought it was a month, though Cichlidfan is probably right and it's quite possibly two weeks. Also be aware that the entire Chit Chat part of the forum doesn't allow rep to be given.

Also be aware that the entire Chit Chat part of the forum doesn't allow rep to be given. I thought you had to rep 50 other people before giving to the same person? Even if that's not the case, it doesn't seem to be one week, it feels much more! SplashOneGaming Discord https://splashonegaming.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if that's not the case, it doesn't seem to be one week, it feels much more! That's yet another counter. ;) Only relatively new posts can receive rep. If a post is too old, the message would be "You can not give reputation to this post", but it doesn't really explain why. Then there's the issue of not being allowed to give rep to the same user too often: "You must spread some reputation around before giving it to XYZ again". When I last kept count, I had to give rep to exactly 50 users (or was it 49?) before I could rep the same user again. Not sure if there's an additional timer at work there. And then there's actually a message that goes something like "You have given around too much reputation in the last 24 hours. Wait some before you give reputation again" or so, which I happened to run into during releases or during screenshot events, when people kept posting awesome stuff practically by the minute. ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
