Reputation points
Yeah, I've been here for over 4 years and had recently forgotten about reputation points and just remembered them about a month ago. I think the points is a great way for fans/members to keep the site going and keep everyone's enthusiasm up for MJJC and MJ.
I know every point I have I had to earn it, that is for sure. :yes: So, that is why I think it's a great system, it gives members enthusiasm and initiative to make their posts great.
I tried finding more info. in the FAQs but only found this
What is reputation?
Reputation is a way of rating users depending on the quality of their posts. If the administrators have enabled reputation, then the reputation icon will be visible in posts.
Reputation may be positive
, negative
or neutral
Negative reputation may only be given if the administrator has enabled this. Neutral reputation is only given when the person giving reputation does not meet the criteria set by the administrator to affect someone else's reputation.
How do I give reputation?
To give reputation, click on the reputation icon in the relevant post. This will reveal a form to complete with the reputation type and the reason for giving the reputation. If negative reputation is disabled then it will not be displayed in this form. You may not give reputation for the same post twice.
How do I know what reputation I have received?
You can view the reputation that you have received in your User CP (User Control Panel) where it is displayed at the bottom of the User CP page. Here you will see the latest reputation that you have received and whether this is positive, negative or neutral. Your total reputation will be shown as series of reputation indicators in your posts and profile. The more positive your reputation, the more positive icons will be shown. The more negative your reputation the more negative icons will be shown.
How much reputation is given? What is reputation power?
If the administrator has enabled this, the amount of reputation that each user will give (or take away if negative) is shown in the user's posts as 'Reputation Power'. The value of the reputation power is determined by the administrator and may increase over time depending on the settings they have applied.
What if I don't want anyone to see my reputation?
You can disable the display of your reputation by going to your User CP and selecting Edit Options. On this page you will find a check box labelled 'Show Your Reputation Level'. Un-checking this box will remove the display of your reputation and replace it with the Reputation Disabled icon. You can still give and receive reputation while your reputation display is disabled
:flowers:
---But I am still alittle confused as to why or how it works? For example a MJJC member could have 4 green bars and be at a 'higher' level than someone with 7 green bars or even at the same level, and I know if someone gives you a negative rep point than it subtracts according to the above,but I still can't figure it out exactly.
Anyone know? I'm just curious after all this time really. Perhaps this will help someone understand it? Maybe Gaz, qbee or ivy will be able to explain.
