Reputation Level suggestions

3=200-299
etc?

The points are piled up into stacks, and these stacks are then measured with the official Stack Stick, which is divided into Stack Height Units (SHUs). Each SHU is 100 points tall. The number of bars (pips) is determined by the number of points available, rounded down to the nearest SHU marked on the Stack Stick. One bar (pip) is awarded for each SHU validly measured by the Stack Stick, plus one. Dimensions, drawings and precise details of the Stack Stick are being made available on the http://www.AreYouNuts?.com/ web site.

i like the whole reputation idea .. forces you to think about your posts .. and plus it lets you know if someone has actually read and paid attention to your posts or not (ive always wondered that) ....

but i have a question, and i might just be missing something here .. but how do u give someone reputation points ??

this button: by each post.

hmmm... here's a thought... for the extremely ego-sensitive people out there, how about one's reputation being displayed in the top bar with the Last Visited and the Number of Private Messages?

That and I kinda mentioned it in my last post, but it was lost in the other points... can the individual dots be linked to a thread explaining the reputation system? I'm sure someone (either now or in the future) isn't going to know what those dots are, and the person is only going to be really confused when "so-and-so is on a distinguished path" pops up on a mouseover. If they were linked, I'm sure it'll get rid of the occassional "What are those green dots people have" thread.

So -- under our User CP, we can see what reputation we've received recently.

Is there anything that shows what reputation we've given? Perhaps with other statistics as well?

Also, is there a way to see all of our reputation, not just the most recent?

[Brandon Martus]

There isnt anything built in to see all reputation (given or received). I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to make a page to display all of that. I'm going to work on our ChiefDelphi stuff (papers, gallery, ufh, etc), and hope that someone else makes a hack to do those things in the meantime, though.

I noticed that in my reputation tally box in my user CP menu.. there's a dot prefix that alternates between green and grey dots. After talking to some people, I wasn't given a negative comment yet. What does that dot prefix mean? Anything?

That is the reputation of the person doing the rating.

Andy Baker gave me a rep boost, and he only has one green dot by his name in my user cp link. Is that the rep of the person rating me at the time they do it, or is is the rep of them now?

I assume the later since Andy definitely has a couple green kuedo dots by his name now.

green = positive
gray = neutral (most likely the persons reputation doesnt count yet)
red = negative

Is this retroactive?

If someone has 49 posts and goes around stirring up a reputation storm, nothing they do will matter. If they post once more and reach 50, will all of the reputation they handed out previously come into effect, or is it just forgotten for all time?

[Brandon Martus]

It is not retroactive. Once your points count, they count from that point on .. nothing in the past.

[shyra1353]

is there a way to see how many reputation points some one else has ?? i know that you can see what category they fit under ? and, how many points does it take to get a second dot and a third and so on??

[Brandon Martus]

You can see the point levels here: in this thread

There isnt a way to see the # other people have (yet), but you can hover over the dots by their username, and see what level they are at.

i saw that, but some people who will become famous enough have two green dots while others have only one, so i was wondering if maybe this was a mistake, or if there are different ranking levels for the number of dots ??
