Hi all... Been to DP for some time now and I realized that some people underestimate the power of the reputation button. It's important to add reputation when you find someone posted something useful for you or others. Reputation shows that you share valuable information to other DP members. It's a powerful tool to thank other users for their help and encourage him to keep on helping. As far as I see it, there are several reasons why I would add reputation to any of the DP members: Provide valuable information as links, news, tips, etc Post with a sense of humor A solution to my problem A good informative post Posting a beneficial thread Giving reputation will also prevent from "spreadable posts" like "thanks", "great post", " I agree"... guess each one of us did that here and there and completely forgot about the reputation button. The reputation will encourage DP members to keep on contributing to the forum, it's a way to increase credibility and will be translated into more forum activity. Those are my thought... will be happy to know yours. Cheers!
LOL! I also found it funny when DP prompts "Thanks" when you're deducting reps from someone! hahahaha! Well basically I think newbies here in DP should not really ask for green reps because again, as what I always say to them, It is earned not ASKED so don't go asking for one from other people!. Most of the members here just don't know that the reputation system even exists while some of the old ones are becoming quite picky with who they are going to give reps to (well I basically sometimes do become a bit picky because of all these DP noobs around). EDIT: People should also read the Reputation FAQ sticky if they want to know more about it and how it works.
LOL... sure u wasn't What you just mentioned is one of the most important things Two thumbs up! Cheers!
Dont take Decisions your own!! Coz, There are Hunderd More People here other than You!! So You cant Simply Boast"Reputation means nothing on dp"!! Mind It! I Do Give 'em when someone Reply Crazy and Awkward and with no Sympathy towards the OP!! But in The End, People never Give Reps, even if they were provided with what they were looking for, For More than a Week!! Thats Bad!! Well, My Experience! ~Exp~
I think that reputation would mean more if you're doing business here in DP. Obviously it would be a major plus if the member that you're trying to deal with has a very good reputation! Well it might be because of what I've said earlier, it would be either NEW members don't know that a rep system exists or OLD members are becoming quite picky on giving reps these days.
I give rep but only like once-twice a day when someone posts something really interesting or helpful.
Well normally people who give reputation are people who are used too vbulletin some people dont even know how to give reputation.. and they way vb is made its really tough for a new person to add reputation
the truth hurts sometimes...you will get used to it. People don't give reps where deserved is because they don't know how to appreciate the true meaning of the said deserved post
it would probably be better if more people knew about it personally i wasnt aware of that at all, i just thought there was itrader and that was it. but ill make sure to use it from now on, particularly on spammers who post the same thing on every thread: "yes your post was helpful" or "i learned so much" or "seo is the best way"
Are you by any chance giving out negative reps to other people? You have a status of "An unknown quantity at this point." Oh and I've just noticed that you have 11 little green blobs! lol
Nar I've just received a negative rep before, I was being a total ass to some guy hehe, then I got one positive rep lol. I got like a grey one aswell but IDK what that does.
