Re: New calculation of Reputation
the reputation is a simple way for the forum to monitor itself. One of the problems for using the internet as a source of information is that, unlike published books and documents that are cross checked and edited, websites are full of stuff posted by anyone and everyone.
Some of what gets posted is worthless. Some posts are outright wrong. So, to keep the CD forum usefull for new team members, either the forum monitors would have to review and edit each post to CD BEFORE it is posted on the forum or we need a general way for the CD community to flag people who are consistanly helpfull and know what they are talking about, and to red flag people who make things up, or worse, are just here to stir up trouble. Thats the value of those green dots. There have been cases in the past where people showed up on this forum only to make trouble for their own amusement. The dot system works as intended. |

My rep got high because of the initial Fantasy FIRST draft and people just kept fattening me up with rep because they loved it so much. I did not earn my reputation because I am some sage of FIRST wisdom or technical expertise but because I came up with some silly game that a good portion of FIRSTers enjoyed. So in a way I'm kind of a fraud. To judge posters by the rep system would be an equally big mistake. |

you got your rep because people felt your contribution to the forum was useful and positive- you made CD a better place but if you started posting technical nonsense, like telling people to plug their robot controllers into 120VAC to get more power, your rep would quickly plunge into the red |
