As it stands, in your user CP, you can see the recent reputations you've been given, but not who gave them to you. Do you want it to remain anonymous, or do you want to be able to see who gave them to you, as well as have those you've given them to be able to see that you are the giver?

Hi Tom,
I got a PM today over in the "alternate universe" from a fellow who I gave some reputation points to. He was thrilled and PM'd me to thank me. Now I have a new friend. I think that's cool. So I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'd like to see the names. Thanks for asking. One more way you're proving to be the best :curse: site administrator on the planet! :woot:

Tom - I have 2 remarks but how do I leave one for someone else?

I would like to see who I get rep points from, be it good or bad. I think the people here are all quite friendly and helpful.... :) :thumb:

PS: I have been leaving remarks for people when I have been giving them good rep points here - plus adding my handle Cat Lover to them so they would know who it was from.... so does that mean that the people I did that for - didn't get those notes??

I don't even know how to find out what my reputation is.....let alone who's building or burning it for me!!!!!:hmm:

Labella, It's the thing that looks like this, next to the specific post you want to

They see them, but they don't know who it was who left them.

ah ha. thanks Tom :wave:

Love the choices you put in your Poll Tom...

1) No I don't want to see...

2) Yes I want to know who my rep points are from & vice versa

3) this isn't imprtant to me crapweasel?? LOL

We have an Administrator here with a wicked sense of humor folks!! :biglaugh:

I chose option 2, of course! :wink:

I would love to know!!!

What does it mean when your reputation color is red?

This reputation thing is fairly new to this site, but I would assume it means less than zero. Or do you mean an individual rating? I would assume that would mean they chose "disapprove."

I think it is disapprove :hopeless:

Thanks Tom.

You got one?

You got one?

I sure did. I started a thread in the Lounge "How observant are you" I don't think many people appreciated it.

Well it probably scared the hell out of somebody, lol.

LOL, I think it did. It scared the hell out of me initially so I just had to share it :bouncy:

RED is not good... but yours is green so you are fine!! :)

Here RMG... practise on mine... click on my scales... click GOOD rep... it will give me a rep point... I will do it for you too... :)

Okay I clicked on yours... go into your user CP, and you should see the good rep point I gave you!! :)

Of course I'll give you some good rep points! And thanks for clarifying for me...I had no idea it was scales....it looked like an atom bomb explosion or something....man, it's rough getting old and losing eye sight LOL!!!!

I found out that three people gave me green and one gave me grey. Is there a way to break that code? Does that mean 3 out of 4 people approve of me? LOL! :yikes:

Thank you Tom! You are the best!:hug:

hey and guess what...I have a reputation - and it's a good one! What great timing on the part of the reputator!:D

I found out that three people gave me green and one gave me grey. Is there a way to break that code? Does that mean 3 out of 4 people approve of me? LOL! :yikes:

The gray signifies that it doesn't count, it is neither positive nor negative. Now what causes that, I'm not sure, lol. Perhaps it is because the person used up all their reputation points for the day. The limit is ten, I believe.

I wonder what in the universe I'm focusing on that would cause me to attrack essentially....nothing......I've got to keep working at the LOA thing! :biglaugh:

Tom - Question..... If I have 10 points to start with... as we all do.. And I give 4 points away, does that take 4 points away from me? In order to give them to someone else?? Is that why it would be gray?? :hmm:

Oh wait! I think I know what the GRAY ones mean now!! I got a good point from someone a week ago... it was GOOD at the time, but now it is showing as GRAY.... so that must mean it is an older good point!! :bouncy: :yippee:

I saw your note Cat, so that is a good idea, otherwise I wouldn't have known who gave me some points... yay!!!

Seriously, it's nice to see who gave them and some comments.

I wonder if negative points fits in with the concept of a positive outlooking type of forum... since negative points are most likely to get people all bent out of shape, maybe we should only be able to give positive points when we feel so inclined.

Excellent point Paul. I would never leave a negative point for someone. What's the purpose? If I really didn't want to interact with someone, I would just "block" them in my CP.

I feel the negative point would be okay if it is remains anonymous. I feel it should be anonymous, because why start wars between people?

I agree with Cathy here. Just leave open the option for someone leavig the remark to write in a comment and it'll be fine. Why fix what isn't broken?

p.s. Why does everyone keep calling me a "user"? (as in User CP?) I ain't used anyone from here... yet. LoL!!! :lildevil: :lildevil: :lildevil:

Oh didn't you know CP - every time you use the devil icon it takes away rep points from you??!! One rep point for every time you use it... :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

No, you don't lose points when you give reputation.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for asking.

I think people should be accountable for their actions of giving or taking Reps points. Own up to it whether good or bad.

I also agree with Paul....do we really need the Negative Reps points?????

If people get out of control....it's up to you to ban them not us.

From what I have seen elsewhere it's only the mean people who are spiteful use the negative Reps points. The rest of us have no use for them. Why give the spiteful people ammo...already saw it get abuse by one person somewhere else. Out of control that person was. No one could have an opposite opinion...if you did...you would get dinged.

I feel the negative point would be okay if it is remains anonymous. I feel it should be anonymous, because why start wars between people?


True.....but.....why put anything negative out there if you don't need to? I mean it's one thing to respond to a post with a disagreeing perspective and to even have those perspectives heat up....that's what a forum is. But why on earth would you seek someone out just to give them a bad rep point?

Chances are, those that would get lots of those, well, everyone already knows who they are. In fact, those individuals probably already know who they are. I don't see the need to poor salt in a wound. Just my thoughts...trying to remain up, up, up in a down, down, world (as Zig would say)! :tiphat:

I do not think rep points is a helpful addition. it trivialises posting. it is a time suck.
if you have something to say then say it in public or not at all.

or if appropriate by PM.


love and hugs

FAQ

p.s. Why does everyone keep calling me a "user"? (as in User CP?) I ain't used anyone from here... yet. LoL!!! :lildevil: :lildevil: :lildevil:

Watch that tail devil!:lildevil:

I agree with GGG, FAQ and Paul. What exactly does it matter if you have say 50 pts and someone else has 15 pts? In the grand scheme of things really? It's petty, but that's just me.

I hardly even remember to check my rep button. Its sort of a nonissue to me. Fact is, there's always going to be someone that likes your opinion and someone else that doesn't like it. Just like some will like this post and some won't, I just think it's so trivial to have to go give a pt. Why not just write it out in public for everyone to see what you liked or disliked about the post?

Edited to add: However, I do agree that if someone has to give negative pts, they need to reveal who they are. Simple. They don't get to hide behind some little red square.

I agree....give Kudos in public or PM!!

If you disagree with someone.....say it...own up to it....just don't ding away at someone and run away....it serves no purpose at all.

After all....it's NOT a contest.....right......

Who cares who has the most points???

This is NOT High School.....

I would prefer to see the whole Rep system go.....who needs it????

It's pointless.....LOL!! :biglaugh: Get it!!! Pointless!! :biglaugh:

I am one of those people who appreciate the little things, like an affirmation from other people that I've done something they appreciate. Not that I'm needy, but hearing/reading something positive about myself from someone else REALLY makes me feel good and can have me smiling :D and feeling uplifted :angel: for a long time :blowkiss: !

Case in point.....I'm having kind of a yucky start to my day. Just in a really down mood, lamenting over some stupid crap. I decided to just take a peek and see if I had any rep points, and I do!! Somebody said they just wanted to tell me that I'm WONDERFUL!! :hapdance: Yipeeeeee!! That made me feel so good that I cried about it!! Now I feel sooooooo much better about my day and about myself!!

Thank you!

Here I go again LOL... I'm always the serious one ;)



But wouldn't it be nice... and a great way to train our sense of GIVING and ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE if we started each day by adding to someone's rep points... be it for a post we see or just because they are someone that often enhances us when we read their posts.

Like you say Awake, it's nice to see something appear unexpected and it's a small token, a gesture but something nice all the same!

Awesomeness :cool:

Ha ha baseline - I am going to send you a comment now saying you are boring! LOL:p

Ok, ok, who sent me the ultra sexxxxxy rep comment?!!!! :hmm:

NOT ME!! :biglaugh:

This made me think of an important point. If the reps were to remain given anonymously, some unpleasant people could abuse the anonymity and harass people with no fear of getting caught (unless, of course the admin can track them down which I guess is likelY). Even a "good" rep could be considered harrassment if it's not welcome.

Heheheehhehe.... I figured it out... Watch out now!!:biglaugh:

Ok, ok, who sent me the ultra sexxxxxy rep comment?!!!! :hmm:

Must be some secret admirer La Bella, I think they musta thought nothing beats saying it with rep points. :biglaugh:

I did a bit of research last night. I went through both the TR site and here too.... Clicking on the member lists by alphabetical order. I found that when you pull up a page...let's say "I" for example... If you click on sort by reputation, it is not neccessarily in alphabetical order, or by reputation alone, but the number of posts.

So I wrote down the names of posters I recognized from both sites... compared them all... and discovered that FORTY of the top posters from TR now post here... No need to list the names... they are all here. So don't get freaked out if you think your "reputation" is less than someone, who let's say posts more than you do. The sort by reputation, goes by posts too... not necessarily good rep points. Just thought I would share this with everyone. I guess because this new type of software, you have to have 25 - 50 posts to be considered a "senior member" of a site... a 1,000 posts gets you a chance to put a custom line under your avatar. I think it is just an added incentive to keep the posters posting... and that is not a bad thing!! ;)
