Good afternoon
You may have noticed that there are some little green box icons in each user profile that were not previously there. These are part of the user reputation system that we have introduced on the forum. Basically the system works like this: This system allows users to reach predefined reputation levels as follows: User can only hope to improve -500 User has a little way to go -250 User is an unknown quantity at this point 0 User Still on L plates 10 User P Plater 50 User Advanced Driver - well worthy of respect 250 User is a jewel in the rough 500 User is just really nice 750 User is a beacon of light 1,000 User is a name known to all 1,500 User has much to be proud of 2,500 User has a reputation beyond repute 5,000 All new users start at 10 points of reputation. All users have the ability to add to the reputation of another user as long as: They have 50 posts and they have 50 points of their own Registered users can issue points as follows (once they meet the criteria above): 1 point for each 30 days of membership 1 point for each 500 posts 1 point for each 100 points of their own reputation Reputation points can only be allocated twice per day and there must be 30 other users allocated points before the same user can be awarded again. Only Admins, Mods and Super Mods can leave negative reputation. The system has been introduced as a means of allowing all members the opportunity to recognise those fellow members whose contribution to the forum has been of value to them. It is not a popularity contest but is designed to help new users identify those individuals whose input to the forum is of added value. If somebody has added to your reputation you will be able to see the last few additions in your user profile. Best regards Admin Team

I like this idea, it's very good.
However i don't understand why i have 10 points, by the above methods i should have 30 or 40 or so? Sorry if i'm missing something obvious...

Just for clarification, if I read a post by a user that is extremely helpful and want to add to there reputation do I just click the symbol down the bottom next to report bad post and then add a comment? Will they then see that in there user cp?
Great idea by the way.

Hardware you are talking about points you can issue to other users.

You would have 16points that you would add to other users repute when you rep them. Quote:

So no-one can give rep to anyone else unless they have received it themselves to get themselves more than 50 points?

I spend a lot of time on another forum using the same system, its generally a good system, but it can lead to a lot of arguments and people whinging about being unfairly neg. repped. At least here only mods/admins can neg. rep but, so might not have the same problem.
Keen to see how it goes here :P

Cool, nice idea.
I also see that you've got notes on threads to say that you've subscribed to a thread.

On other forums it goes Reputation (Green Dots); Points you have received from other users & Rep Power; Points you can give away to other users in order to increase there Reputation (Those little green dots) So you could still have 100 Rep power through just having lots of posts and being here a long time but if no one has giving you reputation and you are still on 10 points then you can't give away reputation to other users. So inorder for them to give reputation they need 50 posts and have received 50 points of reputation from other users.

why is whoosha on L plates with 2075 posts kenz on L plates with 1805 posts and LukeyST on P plater with only 177 posts( nothing against you lukey ) i would have thought that whoosha would have been a P plater well and truely he has put in more than most others on this forum with the amount he has posted Jason

The points that are based on posts and time are points that you can give away. All that means is that Lukey has RECEIVED the most points but whoosha can GIVE AWAY the most points.

Russell and Admin team there seems to have been an implementation problem with the green dots, as I have started at the wrong end with a full number of green dots.
There are many people on here with much better reputations than mine who have way less dots. So when you next looking at this system my dots need to be revised down to a reasonable level. |

dont get me wrong here
if this was implemented Today, 05:47 PM or just before that shouldnt most of the point or status be done on the amount of posts we have made ( at that point in time ) i can give points or recomend them for points i understand that what i dont get is why 1 person has a p plate status and another with more posts is on a lower level just wondering thats all ( and i only used those 3 people as my example ) Jason

People who are still on L-Plater status haven't been given any points, everyone started on 10 L-Plater status.
The way i read it, anyone can give reputation points, click the scale icon under the user name, and say if the post was informative and whether the person deserves rep points.

Thanks for letting us know - this was left over from a previous corruption in the database.
