Rep Reset Time?

[mudskipper]

What about all that sympathy garnering threads about CUK Fat club?

That was sooo last year dahling.

How does rep work then?

I know I can give rep (by clicking on a user's rep star), and I can see what rep I've received, and rep "score" (under settings). But I can't see anyone elses's score.

I didn't know this was a competition - I'm going to have to start being nice to people now

at the top click community, then member list
you can sort the result by rep. It won't tell you how much everyone has (That privilege is restricted to myself and a couple of other people) but it will tell you who has the most and who has more than you.

Cool I can see it.

I was at 28th position this afternoon.
But now, courtesy of negative rep by NorthernLadUK to my post in this thread I appear to have slipped down to 30th position

Still all's fair in love and rep war..

rep was brought in to give those looking at the professional forums some idea of who was giving good advice. Looks like there are some other like / rep systems out there so will have a look and see if we can put one in place for General and one for the professional forums.

Just because someone has a good rep doesn't mean they don't post tulipe sometimes and conversely some people with little or no rep post good stuff.

Surely there it is not beyond the wit of man to create a system where readers can register a thumbs up/down a particular post rather than rep the person? Something like "The Register"/Daily Hate Mail has which records both up and down votes rather than then cancelling each other out like the BBC system does. It will also benefit your forum because people can easily see what is rated as good advice (at least in the opinion of other posters here) and what is dross. Heck, even link it to the search engine for extra value.

Plus some personal rep system to fuel those with ego problems and/or too much time on their hands.

I think there is the proof that the rep system isn't really worth anything anyway...

I think the rep system works well, you just have to invert the results. Most people at the top are rep whores and post things they think will get them rep, they also have quid pro quo relationships between posters/sockies.

The ones with low rep are likely to be people who say it how it is with no agenda and no sockie rep support system. They will usually be the target of a teabagger party neg rep campaign.

HTH

That was tried and subsequently abused into abandonment within 24 hours

You just proved my point, thanks.

My rep could be published as a book on insults.
