Re: Reputation Dots Enhancements
 
I'm going to say something unpopular here most likely.
Dave Lavery and Andy Baker are two of our outstanding FIRST role models and the posts that they make in CD consistently reflect why they are. I'm not so sure FIRST role models necessarily want to be set apart but rather want to be a part of their community, helping members to grow and achieve gold stars. As long as the process is attainable for any who strive, it is a good thing. If it causes separatism and elitism, perhaps not.

Agree, and also think we shoulnd't have names in the phrases for reputation too, as it also goes into what Jane said.

As for the stars issue, how about: light green > dark green > gold/silver > plantinum/gold dots instead?

Well, actually I don't know the exact size, but when looking at the image that was attached the star is about 3 reputation bars wide (about 24px wide), they just look big. But I like Joe's idea too.

I voted for it, mainly because it extends the rep dots. I don't all that care for the stars, but it would be nice to see more dots with different colors, just to mix things up a bit. But like Brandon has said, they're just dots.

I say, do what ever is easiest for Brandon. With all he's done for the forums, little dots and stars should be the last thing on his mind.

I think it's a good idea. If you change the stars to something else, I say it's great.

Yeah -- changing hte graphics is easy ... but not as easy as installing (or uninstalling) this plugin.

I was trying to show a little self-restraint. :)

I voted for it; but my bet is it'll start another 'reputation race' choreographed by 10 people in a 2am chat room collaborating to see who can get the most stars.

Hey, CD addicts gotta do something at night before kickoff starts.

So.. I like the idea, but let's hack it even more!!!

When the dot limit is reached the first time throw up a Red triangle.
When the dot limit is reached the second time throw up a White circle.
When the dot limit is reached the third time throw up a Blue square.

You see where I'm going with this right?? :yikes:

Then after the logo is complete per-say, then start with the gold stars.

absolutely...



Brandon in all seriousness I would rather see the spell check back then more dots but don't really care either way about the dots.

Dots? We ain't go no dots! We don't need no dots! We don't have to show you any stinking dots!
