Feedback Red/Green - where is the FAQ page for this

Nah I don't get down with guys. Everyone knows lara was packing.

Wtf is this thread about again anyway.

 

Couldnt help myself - I love this image

 

Definite pickle swinger.

 

Now you are learning how to get rep!

 

Which colour? lol

 

OK, several posts later I find that I've been given some red for this thread, some green, and my total rep has gone up 24 points. I have no intention of making posts just to get rep (either red or green) but it's obvious that some here are acutely tuned to awarding rep points at the slightest mention of a thread discussing reputation. And that seems to be irrespective of the quality of the post or its' validity. Strange.

Thanks to those who awarded me green. I've believe I've learnt a fraction more about it: you can see your current level of reputation in your CP but there's no history to it and it's an annonymous system in that you don't know who's awarded you what. However, they can link to the particular post that their award relates to. Interesting.

 

lol now you're getting it although some of us have been here more than a year

 

Is it me or can I see a numeric rep value only for myself? When looking at the rep of others all you see are some green boxes and no number? Even when you look in their profile?

Perhaps each box of dark/light green stands for a particular value of rep?

Rep is not a major issue but it really bugs me that this forum is so good in other respects but actually so dismally useless at coming up with a decent FAQ on this subject.

 

Yes.

 

Thanks

But because this message is too short to get posted I'll say it again.

Thanks

 

Is there going to be a reality tv show about you soon? I hope so.

 

I've been kicking the idea around of shooting short clips called "Converstations with my girlfriend"

I havne't decided yet. I just finished some songs, couple of other audio files, and am wrapping up a cartoon.

 

will the conversations with your girlfriend be subtitled..because I have a feeling I would need to rewind alot to understand..so subtitles would help...they do on foreign language flicks.

 

I must admit I can't see what connection your conversations with your girlfriend have with the subject of this thread.

Back, on topic, is it possible to give neutral rep? I seem to have gotten some ... but I don't seem to be able to give it. I have choices for only "approve" or "disapprove" i.e. just positive or negative, not neutral.

 

Merkersarl,
You where very lucky to make a thread on reps and not get alot of red reputation from it.
You gave me a red rep for Hi jacking this thread. Well now it is back on topic.
Have a nice day and welcome to DP I will not rep you red back..

Neutral is gray and not neutral is just means you got it from a person that has not posted enough to have a rep point count.

Now why don't you go read the FAQ.

He gave you a red for hijacking a rep thread???

Well, that wasn't very nice!

 

Weirfire, yes, and I did offer her a private explanation of why.

corena has been very decent and was kind enough to drop me a PM explaining her position and why she wasn't going to rate me down. And I've replied to that.

That's the ironic part. The purpose of this thread was just to ascertain that. No FAQ exist on the subject of rep and I was hoping that this thread could serve as a substitute. (I'm not here to attract or dish out rep. I started this thread just to get some facts that are missing elsewhere).

It would be only the massively stupid or highly illitterrattee who read the opening post and assume I'm complaining about rep. But, hey, I can assure you they aren't extinct . Some of them have the spine to sign the rep comments; that is refreshing.

However, I do get your point and I suppose I'll have to take some red rep for the sole reason that I asked a legitimate question.

corena, you have a PM.

 

Oh come on ..... you gave me a red for posting the following thread, and on the comments you wrote "stupid thread, stop posting garbage". But, I think the forum "General Chat" is meant for posting anything your heart desires and NOT necessarily the things you like So I don't think you are the best person to judge the nicest things. I am sorry to mention this here. I don,t expect another red for posting this . http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=424228#post424228

To everyone,

 

I REPEAT go read the FAQ

FROM FAQ

If your 10th post was very recent, it might not be in affect yet. The system checks for users that need to be "upgraded" once an hour (on the 25th minute of the hour).

The forum has a reputation system that allows users to add or take reputation from other users (you can find details on how it works by clicking here).
If your reputation falls below a certain level, the system automatically revokes your ability to have a signature and live links.

If your reputation returns to being above the threshold level, the system automatically restores your ability to use live links and signatures.

So, this means it's a good idea to try and get along with others.


Link within FAQ

It's kind of like PageRank... users vote for other user's reputation (by clicking on the scale), and it's weighted by how "important" they are within the forum. It works like this right now:
Everyone starts with a reputation of 10
You can alter other people's reputation by 1 point by default
For every 365 days after you register, your altering power increases by 1
For every 1,000 posts, your altering power also increases by 1
For every 100 reputation points that other's give you, your altering power increased by 1
User must have at least 50 posts before they can affect other's reputation
You must have a reputation of 10 or higher to be able to affect others (it's 10 by default)
You can alter up to 10 user's reputations per day
You must alter different user's reputations before you can alter the same user's again

That clear it up?
