problem with the new reputation button
- Thread starter hermanntrude

A quick note: I've changed around the settings for calculating reputation. Note, the longer you are registered and the more posts you have, the more reputation power you have. This is a great tool for the community as it makes it easier for moderators and community members to spot trouble makers and to know who's been around for a while.
Please use reputation when you can! If you see a bad post, disapprove; if you see a great post, approve! You may also leave anonymous feedback to the person you're giving the reputation.

Sounds like a popularity contest to me. Personally I hope that noone would give me or take away brownie points at all. But thats my preference.
Hmmm, I'd never noticed reputation before. I don't mean to sound jaded, but, it seems a bit like a possible popularity contest. I can just see the poor person who ends up the only one debating their side in an argument, watching their reputation start plummetting as anyone who disagrees rates their posts as bad, no matter how well thought out and diplomatic it was.
Looking back, I agree with you somewhat.. but we're all adults here (mostly) and credit is usually given where credit is due. One can't go back and forth giving and taking reputation, by the way. There are limitations on who many times you can give or take from anyone.
I'll keep this under an eye and review it again next month. Let's see where this goes.
PS. It's not a popularity contest. You gain more reputation power the longer you've been here and the more posts you have.

i refer you to Andem's comments above.
Personally i dont feel any problems with a personality contest as long as that's what it's labelled as. When a new member arrives for instance, it's good for them to know at a glance whether they are talking to a fellow newbie or someone who's been around a while.
in response to karrie's posts, not andem's. probably should have quoted, sorry

that sounds reasonable Andem. I was going to ask next, how personal votes are weighted against number of posts and length of membership. I assumed you weren't putting all the onus strictly on the input of other members.
Now can we have a "non-christian" forum??? Huh pretty please, pretty please with sugar on it? 
(My Mom always said I was a pushy git)
(My Mom always said I was a pushy git)Well, think about it: You've posted 5000 messages and have been a member since August 2004. You're more likely to be a fair-minded person since a) you're still around and b) you have not been banned.
By the way, I removed the registration date from the post-bits.

We have a non-Christian forum! It's called Faith DIscussion.

*Sigh*
works fine on mine. a popup menu shows up with options for leaving nasty and nice feedback and a text box to slag people off with
