This ratings business

Has anyone answered this question yet?



I'd never noticed the ratings before...

No, and I still can't work it out.

This mean spirited rapping seems to be done in a very Welsh manor. I'm a poplar member of this lodge yet my reputation is -60

You can't as far as I can see: you only get to see the resulting description.

Again Nick please use some lateral thinking.....

Member List - Contractor UK Bulletin Board

You cannot get the exact match. But you start on 10 points. The first change is at 50 from Mostly Harmless to Makes Sense. The next change at 100 to 'Must be Listened to'. I would imagine the next change is at 200 which Zippy has got to be close to.

Going other other way 0 - 10 is Mostly Harmless but can be spotted because as you start with 10 points, it means you must be less then 10 if you order ascending

0 to - 25 is 'Tries hard to make sense'

-25 to -50 is 'Slower than a 486'

and so far <-50 is 'Never made it past tape changer'

So you cannot see the exact numbers but you can work out the ranges.

I don't know if admin is using the default ranges, but if so, there are fifteen levels between -2000 and +3000.

Yep, you only get to see the description of others, but not their points. In your settings you get to see the total points and comments but not how many points have been given by each person. Only the last five are listed. (it might be nice to hae a list of those you have repped though)

I can confirm that moving from 'Should be listened to' to the next level (whatever that is) does not occur at 200 points.

Wow, remnds me of playing those old platform/level games.

On the default ranges, you should move up at 250. As I mentioned, I don't know if the default ranges apply here - I only have the dev server to check with - but it's unlikely that admin will have gone to too much trouble over a feature that's really just a bit of fun. On that note, I think we should allow the time for threaded's SP gricerboy to be driven slowly but inexorably towards the -2000 mark

IIRC, seeing who repped you is a configurable option. (I can't be bothered to check at this time of night.) Enabling it would probably lead to even more vituperous flamewars than already occur, although if I offer my personal opinion that this would be a Bad Thing I'll just get flamed by those losers who think trolling is clever, so I won't

The "see those you have repped" feature doesn't exist, but if enough people badger admin for it, it could be implemented

You'd make a tulip politician, jumping up and down on the bench shouting 'Troll', 'Troll'. The word Troll to you is like immigrant to the Daily Mail.

I have another one. Am I justified in negging someone for hijacking my thread?

Of course you are - you can neg sockies just for existing

Ooh watch out NOB25.

Just realised, I should now be listened to. How exciting.
