ChemSiddiqui Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Hi, I wanted to know how to boast my reputation on the forums. I have completed century of posts (Hurray !) and still have that one little green card or boxes,call it what you like. Any idea! 4
YT2095 Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Have you Given any? as with all Karma systems, you reap what you sew. although I must admit, I don`t think it gets Used as much as I was hoping for when I suggested it. I think a Proper "Add to Rep" button would be way more evident than some obscure tiny icon amongst Other obscure tiny icons. 5
Phi for All Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Thanks for the reminder. I've been lax about focusing on good posts; it's always easier to give the bad ones more of your time, unfortunately. I will endeavor to reward more often. Good post, grats on the 100 posts, have some rep, ChemSiddiqui. 2
Klaynos Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I still reward, normally when someone makes me laugh 3

I've been lax about focusing on good posts; it's always easier to give the bad ones more of your time, unfortunately. I will endeavor to reward more often. Quite understandable! Good post, grats on the 100 posts, have some rep, ChemSiddiqui Gee Thanks! still reward, normally when someone makes me laugh how you awards some1 some repo anyway? 2
YT2095 Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 how you awards some1 some repo anyway? this is EXACTLY my point entirely! they don`t get awarded because not many people know how we NEED a proper Clearly marked Button for this! ChemSiddiqui, it`s the little tiny (hardly visible) Scales icon at the top right in the posts border. 3
DrP Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Hmm.. Ok I only just realised this. (have a rep point for my dog in the woods question from another post the other day YT). Where does the window show what your current rep is though?? 2
YT2095 Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 LOL, cheerz if you click on your UserCP (just under to the right of the SFN Logo) it should show it on that page.
ChemSiddiqui Posted January 23, 2008 Author Posted January 23, 2008 this is EXACTLY my point entirely!they don`t get awarded because not many people know how we NEED a proper Clearly marked Button for this! hopefully that problem with be addressed soon by our good and efficient moderators (I am serious !) ChemSiddiqui, it`s the little tiny (hardly visible) Scales icon at the top right in the posts border. I see it now, thanks for the info, YT:-) . Anyway can I request people to award reputaion points to me if they like my thread when I start it?
YT2095 Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 you CAN request it, but it`s unlikely to swing a decision. if someone likes your post(s) they will give you rep anyway if they don`t think it is particularly Excellent, then asking isn`t going to help. 1
Phi for All Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Asking to be rewarded defeats the system. People should be moved to give you rep points, by good questions and good answers.
iNow Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I wanted to know how to boast my reputation on the forums. How much are you willing to pay me? I'll give you some rep... for a price. 2
seven8s Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 iNowHow much are you willing to pay me? I'll give you some rep... for a price. that deserves some points. 1
5614 Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Why is it that I have a rep bar between Location and MSN (under my sig, in all threads) and nobody else has? Am I special!?! The only thing I can think of is that I didn't use my account for quite a long time. But any forum or user account change would apply globally, even if I'm not active, so I don't see how this happened... meh! *shrugs*

It's like inertial reputation. 1
DrDNA Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Your rep is only visible from your frame of reference. It's like inertial reputation. Wow. Rep relativity. No wonder I'm confused. Its physics.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Wait until we release the quantum reputation plugin. That'll be even better.
ChemSiddiqui Posted January 24, 2008 Author Posted January 24, 2008 How much are you willing to pay me? I'll give you some rep... for a price. uh-huh, well I will barter my brain for some repo, then I wont have to pay you a sickle and you'd be brainless! Just Joking !
5614 Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Your rep is only visible from your frame of reference. It's like inertial reputation. wow! But then what's the point in a rep system if only I can see my own rep (without having to click on the person's profile page)? It makes it more about yourself feeling good than giving others an idea of who has a good rep. Personally I'm not a big fan of rep points though. The "___ expert" system we had was alright, but seemingly that does not exist anymore.
YT2095 Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 I wanted it so that there could be No arguments made or fought because of some perceived injustice of points being awarded "when I`m a better than he / she is..." it`s simply a way of saying Thank You and showing appreciation, nothing more. I figured we have plenty of ways to show we Disapprove and lots of tools to Bash someone with, so it would be Nice to have something that does the Opposite, and be Excellent to each other with.
Klaynos Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 wow! But then what's the point in a rep system if only I can see my own rep (without having to click on the person's profile page)? It makes it more about yourself feeling good than giving others an idea of who has a good rep. Personally I'm not a big fan of rep points though. The "___ expert" system we had was alright, but seemingly that does not exist anymore. It does exist... A bit slimmed down, but it's there...
5614 Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Fair enough YT, I suppose in that case the way it is quite hidden is not such a bad idea. It does exist... A bit slimmed down, but it's there... Thank you for your kryptic post! So does a bold name mean expert? I had assumed it was some kind of moderator status (I know red is an admin), but then what is green? And what if an expert is given moderator status!?
timo Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 So does a bold name mean expert? I had assumed it was some kind of moderator status (I know red is an admin), but then what is green? Green is expert. See http://www.scienceforums.net/forum/member.php?u=1668. Blue is mod, red is admin. Never noticed a bold name. Also, expert-status has been altered to some limited moderator in a certain subforum, see e.g. on the bottom of section http://www.scienceforums.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=14, where is sais "Moderators: 2 Swansont, Martin" (I suspect Swansont is currently flagged as belonging to both user groups). So much for the update on completely irrelevant things that changed since you last were active here. Nice seeing you around again.

NP, I do try and yeah what Atheist said...
YT2095 Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 And what if an expert is given moderator status!? they are forced to alter Frequency towards the Blue spectrum also. ya can tell the Admin, they`re only red (quite Dull)
