Re: Reputation Dots Enhancements
Hey everyone!
Just kinda bringing this back. I was just wondering if anything was happening with it. I personally LOVE the idea of extending the reputation system. I mean, I have been really posting here for 3 months, and I have 4 light greens. This means that I have 2 more until I show that I have the same rep as dlavery and billfred :ahh: I personally don't believe this is fair to people who dedicate their lives to posting on CD, because they work hard to provide good, informational posts. Expanding the rep dots is just a nice little thankyou to the big people on top who have thousands of posts. I personally like the system that Cody introduced and is consistently in Elgin Clock's ~sig. Perhaps there was a reason that this thread died, and I just haven't realized it. Please let me know if I am completely off base. Jacob |
Re: Reputation Dots Enhancements
Could you just post the number of points instead of dots representing the points? It just seems to make more sense to me.

On the other hand, if I see someone's post that has no avatar or WAI, no chat symbols, and they only have a few dark green dots, it sets the tone that this person is fairly new, and doesn't have as much creditability (again, NOT TRUE, but this is the first thing that I think of when I see a post.) If I looked at someones post, and they had green and yellow and pink and blue dots and stars and first logos and little things that screamed ZOMG... This would definitely make me feel different about the the experience of this person. And I think that that is something I should feel when talking to someone of more experience, and someone who has put the time into the forum. Just my 50th of a buck. Jacob |

Thing is, the way it is now, they are dots and people are fine with them. When you start seeing that some folks have lots of snowflakes and you don't have any...next thing you know, you could start becoming competitive for snowflakes. 'You' meaning anyone. (One thing about CD, there are lots of competitive people in here.) I like what Dave said about looking at the words. They hold the value. Jane |

I tend to be a little competitive with almost anything too, so I go along with Jane's post in the fact that I want some snowflakes! Gosh, why should she get some when I don't. And why does he get little monkeys, I wants some of them. And don't you think of wanting my little ice cream cones. No sir, you might as well just back away from them!:p That brings me to another thought, would giving each person the ability to change what type of dot they have displayed be cool? It would definatly be confusing! I wonder though, do you think that Dave would want little KK's?:D :D:D |

Re: Reputation Dots Enhancements
I'm liking the logarithm.
dots = 2*log(points) - 1 Newbies who've said something worthwhile get 1 dot (10 points) Average users who haven't insulted people get 2 dots (32 points) Start being helpful and you get 3 dots (100 points) Show that you know something, get 4 dots (317 points) Be really helpful, get 5 dots (1000 points) 6 is reasonable (3163 points) CD gods start getting 7, or 8 dots 9 dots is a feat - 100,000 points Andy Baker gets 13 dots. It keeps the dots at a reasonable level, but it also provides some distinction among the elite. |
Re: Reputation Dots Enhancements
My only question in this whole thing is, after you filled your bar, do you still get reps? seems to me that I get fewer and fewer reps ever since AB gave me a greeny... not complaining, although I like to see feedback to my posts (am I really still contributing to the CD community?).
It looks like to me if there were to be some sort of dot enhancement, people would continue to give reps to those with a (well at least now) filled bar. |
