To start off i know i dont have 15,000,000,000 posts,thast b/c i try to find answers to the questions, that i can anser,i in fact do not know it all, nor do i pretend 2 be all knowing, that: and im not a post whore, popping in and saying something like; "yeah, u r right." sometimes i go out of my way to prove a less supported counter point. and for my efforts what do i have to show for it? 500+posts and 38 rep. i must ask several questions.
1) is there a list explaining the consept of a rep worthy post?
2) Is the concept of rep'ing explaided, and understood by everyone?
3) can different users rep the same post if it is healpful to each of those, and
other subseqent ppl?
Dont take this the wrong way, im not begging for rep. it is just conerened
that i was beaing ignored, what i'm trying to say just give credit were credit
is due not just for me but for all who @least contribute to the toppic @ hand.
thank you for your time.

It realy does not answer q#3)

as well as what does this mean?

- Do not hold grudges with rep.

oh and i think most peole seem to be stinjy with rep. or they just miss this part

Quote:

...Give rep to ANYONE who posts something that deserves acknowledgement

and how does days as a member factor into the reputation power?

Quote:

Reputation Power Reputation power is displayed in each member's postbit. New members have a "power" of 1. Meaning, they will increase a members reputation by 1 point when they leave feedback for them. The higher your rep points, posts, days as a member etc., the higher your Reputation Power.

I didnt think it did... just take me and general for exp..

he joined I think a month after me andhe has 200+ reps and like 5 billion posts

and well you can see me here

[YiffyGriffy]

The simple fact is that rep should be given out for anything that a person feels is noteworthy or beneficial to the group/forum or individual. At least that's how I feel about.

So, did you give a rep to Yiffy for helping you out? If not, why are you complaining?

I dont see why worry so much about the rep thing... I go to honda message board, I have more than 4000 posts and there's no rep system, no 4ghz status, none of that. I post and help people because I want to, not just to earn a rep.

I had a whole thing typed here... then this damn 56k took a crap, and I'm not typing it again... Sorry for the incomplete post.

Nayo, Youve been here sense april, and you have 394 posts and 37 rep. thats about right.

 

[Natel]

Am I as a new user more likely to believe someone with a higher rep?
probably not.

If someone answers a question I have and helps me out will I give them rep
probably.

Is someone with a higher reps opinion more valid?
depends on if I agree with it or not ;-)

I really have no idea where I am going with this.
I'm not quite sure if I really even understand what the rep system is all about, is it a way to give a little pat on the back to people who didn't get enough positive reinforcement as a child? I just think if you help someone out, just knowing that you did should be enough, but then again, I guess a little recognition is nice every once in a while. Enough with my ramblings.

 

[Evil XP2400]

Reps, it just a way to say thanks to someone for being helpfull. A person with 500+ should be seen as someone who is very helpfull and nothing more.

in reality, i believe, the rep system is underused. i try to give rep where it is due, and none where it isn't. i think that someone's rep points do play into their validity, because if they have so many reps, they must be doing something right, huh? look at me, i joined in sep., have 750 posts, 73 reps... i don't beg for reps and am not a rep whore, i just try to give the best information i can and when people give me rep, i appreciate it and move on. it's underused, but it's not that big of a deal...in my opinion.

back to the on-topic-ness of the thread, what do you want "to revamp the rep system" to in your opinion?

 

[blob]

I barely ever give reps, but If I think you deserve one I'll give it to you, if not dont ask... just cuz I got the power of 3

 

[YiffyGriffy]

I don't hand reps out very much either...especially with my rep power of 5, I gotta choose wisely

 

[Inquisitor]

well there is always a problem.. the rep system isnt always accurate

say a nub comes in here and has several high computing degree's and knows alot about alot

....if we went soley on the system then we should look to the 13yr old who has been here for a year and has 100 reps (no offence to anyoe)

 

[Inquisitor]

and how is rep power figured if we didnt answer this already?

I dont hand them out either. But I do rep every who helps me when I make a thread. And every once in while I'll rep the big helpers that are always actively helping others just for that.

so back to the original topic of discussion, what needs to be modified about the rep system?
