Reputations

[mad jew]

Erm... What are these new reputation things by each person's post? :cool:

Did I miss something? :o

[Hoef]

Are you seeing something that I don't? :confused:

[bursty]

:confused:

[devilot]

Are you seeing something that I don't? :confused:Clear your cache maybe?

Other forums have different 'reputation' systems... see a post you like, then you add to a member's reputation, somethin' like that.

The icon is between the status 'dot' icon and the 'report a post' icon; under your location.

[mad jew]

Hmm... I think it's weird that there's even one by my own posts.

Aren't you others getting this?

[bursty]

Hmm, cleared the cashe and I'm still not seeing anything. Either way, I've seen that on other forums but it always ends up with one two people who dont like each other giving each other HORRIBLE rep. Maybe it will be more civil around here? :)

[LethalWolfe]

What's the effect of reputation? Do people w/bad reps have a :( appear next to their name or something?


Lethal

[killuminati]

I don't see any of that. Strange.

[mad jew]

Well, you can only vote once on each post, which is a good thing. :)

[bursty]

This is what i see:

[mad jew]

Weird. Emptying the cache does nothing? :confused:

devilot, have you noticed this before? Could it be a contributor-only thing?

Is anyone else getting a green dot in their User Profile too? It's named reputation_pos.gif so I'm guessing it's related.

I just emptied the cashe again and then quit Safari and still nothing. I do have a green dot to the far right in my profile though, but it says "bursty is off the scale" ....? :confused: :p

[mad jew]

Mine reckons I'm on a distinguished path... Well, I've got my dot fooled. :p

[r6girl]

i see the reputation button as well. where can we see the reputation results?

[Vader]

My profile has that green dot.
I don't see the little cloud thing in anyone's posts.

[r6girl]

i see the reputation button as well. where can we see the reputation results?

nevermind - i think i found it. in the members list, there's now a reputation column with a little square - i'm thinking these are color-coded to show postive or negative reputation, non?

[Nermal]

I don't see the little cloud thing in anyone's posts.

They're scales.

[mad jew]

And if you click on the scales next to one of your own posts, it should tell you how many points you have.

[Vader]

Upon closer look, I see that it is scales.
Too bad I can't see them!

[G5Unit]

This is now different:
Used to be just FAQ

[mad jew]

And now the dots are in the Members List (http://forums.macrumors.com/memberlist.php) too. :)

[Vader]

Yikes!!
So many green dots(rounded rectangles)!!

[TheMonarch]

And now the dots are in the Members List (http://forums.macrumors.com/memberlist.php) too. :)

Wow... Interesting...

You're third to CanadaRAM and Devilot :)


But what does this all mean :confused:

[mad jew]

I wonder if there's a way of telling which posts you were given feedback on...

This could potentially be a pretty useful feature. It's always nice to know if advice has worked or not. :)

G5 PowerBook maybe? Man this will bring down my rep.

[bursty]

So is everyone supposed to be able to see them or just contributors?

[mad jew]

Aaahhh! Where's they go?

Somebody ate my scales. :(

[grapes911]

Maybe it's just a glitch like the fading 'tars or the rotating 'tars. ;)

[G5Unit]

Yeh. I don't see them. Yet i noticed also that the top people 4th place and under just have names with *(^%$#@ things in front of them.

[TheMonarch]

I think they're gone... :confused:

[bursty]

LOL that was quick. :p

[CanadaRAM]

Yeh. I don't see them. Yet i noticed also that the top people 4th place and under just have names with *(^%$#@ things in front of them.
That's 'cause (for the brief, shining moment that the scales were there) there were only 1 vote each for 3 people, and within the same Rep score, the ranking is alphabetic*. So from #4 on down, everyone had zero, and you got the punctuation-happy usernames first in the alpha sequence.


* I was feeling soooo special for a couple of minutes, until I figured out it was a sample size of one, and only first because C comes before D and M.... Humbled me again pretty quick, that did. But I am consoled by the fact that grown women swoon over my Cafe Lattes.;)

I imagine it is some secret moderator thing.

I use something similar that is only visible to moderators or administrators for "problematic" or "Totally awesome" users that the group can keep an eye on. With the selected icon, I can spot posts by "flagged" users to help gain or take away credibility, I also have specific icons show up for posters tend to post in more helpful forums, as opposed to "off topic". And lastly, if they end up posting many times per day (currently set at 25 posts), they will also get a special icon that looks like a SPAM brick :) .

It adds to the fun of being a moderator and administrator on that site :) . They also come in handy, but it took allot of coding in PHP (something I am quite bad at) :( .

And no, this isn't on my site, as our forums are quite dead. It is for a car site that I wish to remain anonymous as being a moderator / admin for :) .

Could we have a five-star rating system of the members, if it's easy to implement? Maybe peer reviews like that of Amazon.com, as well. Could save new members the hassle of replying to sarcastic idiots, like myself. :p

Well, I just read this entire thread from the start and am sorry I missed all the excitement. ;) I have seen reputation systems implemented on other Forms and usually it just turns into a big mess. I understand Arn was just playing with some settings, but if a system like this is ultimately implemented permanently for MacRumors, I hope it is done in an effective, sensible manner and well communicated to everyone.
