Reputation Awareness/Evaluation Month

Xantar · 01-05-2005, 02:08 AM

I couldn't care less about the Reputation rating here. Anybody who has made enough posts to build up that meter already has a real reputation to begin with. I don't need to look at some number to figure out whether I know something about that person or not.

And the privileges? Mostly just peripherals. I suppose being able to see who left a user rating for you is nice, but the rest I simply don't care for.

Bottom line: caring about your reputation rating is a little bit like caring about your post count. Doing it demonstrates to everybody else what a sad sack you are.

BRING BACK THE DBLNS!!!

I would like it if Rep was changed to "Gold Coins" in honor of our good friend, and italian plumber Mario.

It would also be cool if everytime you gave someone +rep you heard "Ching" like when Mario collects a coin. HOORAY!

I'm just being stupid now.

That's actually not a bad idea.

Any other opinions? Or does this one not matter much?

I hate the reputation system. It's worthless. I've elaborated on that several times and I don't feel I need to do it again. Aside from that, I agree with Xantar.

I would like to comment on the access to the Black Project forum. I've been with NDolphin/NDose/GT longer than most, as long as some, and not as long as a small few. And to have a flawed reputation system decide who has access to a forum is perhaps the single most ignorant thing done in all the time I've been with this website. And to me it's a Oxi Moron, because I hate 'Elite Only' forums. It only devides the members of the forums further from each other. But just because I hate it, doesn't mean I don't want access to it. I'll probably never post in there, and yet I'm frustrated by that fact that I couldn't.

Some of you could say "you're only 100 points from having access so quit your whining." But I don't feel I should have to. It's a matter of principle. And one that I feel has been overlooked.

Merry +Rep month to everyone...I've become a lot more generous with rep this month, as some of you might have seen. And keep expecting more.

dropCGCF · 01-06-2005, 06:41 PM

What is this Black Project Forum? Is it like ilovebees.com?

Stray_Bullet · 01-06-2005, 07:12 PM

Legitimate feedback on posts is great, but having a visible reputation is unnecessary.

It'd be nice if you could "give people rep," without having a solid figure created by the reputation. It'd be like having an invisible post count.

The figure itself isn't accurate to reputation. It's easy to rep-rally, and post count has a large affect on its value. However, I do admit that positive, personal feedback (and some reasonable constructive criticism) is cool.

Rep wars were hilarious, though. I had my fun.

Dylflon · 01-06-2005, 10:06 PM

Does anyone else think that CamfuBot sounds a little like Gamemaster?

By the way, nice to have you back Rndm.

doesnt really matter if they're visable or not. ANYONE can see who gave them a rep, by using a simple glitch or bug kinda in the way the forum works. its not the most time effective way, but you can see who gave you a rep clear as day.

By visible, I mean having green pips and a number to keep record of how large your reputation is. What should remain visible (and only to the person who receives rep) is the post that received reputation, the positive/negative connotationm, comments, and maybe who gave the reputation.

Having a system to keep track of how much you accumulated reputation is what I feel is unnecessary.
