JebidiahsBigSister Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I think that you have a miscalculation somewhere in the reputation formula. If you think about it, one's reputation should actually be the square of the reputation given (i.e. that you give) plus the days since your registration divided by 100 (not 90 - this is an obvious error) subtracting the natural log of your Reddit karma on the KSP forums. I htink that once you think about it the reasons are pretty obvious.Should I log this as a bug or just report it to the mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupid_chris Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) It's neither a bug, neither a thing to report to someone apart from here, it's how we decided it to be The reputation given is actually dependant of your reputation, so we can't have someone's rep power as a basis for the person's rep. 90 days is not an error, it has been chosen because it's approximately a quarter of a year. And lastly reddit is totally unrelated from the forums. Edited October 19, 2013 by stupid_chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JebidiahsBigSister Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 And lastly reddit is totally unrelated from the forums.stupid_chris : Yes exactly! Which is why I chose the natural log. I mean it's not like I was trying to imply that someone has way overthought the reputation system or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traches Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 overclock.net has a rep system that I think is well executed -- I think for more people to use it you need 2 things: clearer indication of how much rep a user has (I had no idea what that green bar meant until this thread), and a bigger, more obvious +rep button. The reason nobody uses the current system is because nobody sees it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDCWolf Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 May I suggest changing the icon? As of now it looks like a sheriff star. Maybe a "normal" kind of star? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupid_chris Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 May I suggest changing the icon? As of now it looks like a sheriff star.

vexx32 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Yeah. Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware, the servers the forum runs on aren't accessible by most of the staff that regularly run the forum. That means directly replacing the images is either not possible or is going to take a while. Most forum softwares support uploading an alternate file for use, but apparently VB doesn't allow this... which means that a task that ought to be simple is probably going to end up an awful lot harder than it ought to be.

stupid_chris Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Can you see who the top 5 reputation GIVERS are? Everyone except for forum administrators are stuck at a limit of 5 rep power. The number of people who give five must be in the hundredth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAwer Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Just out of curiosity, how does the rep power for Mods/Admins work?And what's the daily (or hourly?) max rep you can give?And I thought the rep icon was like a mine or something... it should definitely be clearer. And maybe also clarify the "Add to this user's reputation" info box that appears when you hover over it (if you can)?How exactly are we supposed to give Rep? It is supposed to be very valuable, and only given in rare and extraordinary cases? For example, just now I was +Reping good entries in challenges. Is it intended for that? Or is it more a thing where we +Rep only, say, fantastic crafts or similar?This can be a fantastic system if used properly though.EDIT: (If Mods and Admins have more Rep power) How are Mods/Admins supposed to use the Rep system? How should and do they give it out? That will answer most of my questions, and I'll try to adhere to the same principles. Edited November 12, 2013 by TheAwer Added another question.

DMagic Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I give rep for just about anything that seems especially helpful or interesting. That could be answering non-obvious questions, making tutorials, making interesting/original mission logs or crafts, making mods, etc... I also give rep for contributions to my own threads.I think it's up to everyone to decide how/why they want to give rep. You can max out for a 24 hour period (I'm not sure how much it takes to max out, I think around 10 to 20 times), and you can't repeatedly give rep to the same person. I guess giving rep for derailing threads or otherwise causing problems isn't a good idea, but otherwise I think it's fine to give rep however you want.

Vanamonde Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 TheAwer, as a moderator, my rep power is determined by the software just like everybody else's. I give it when I feel somebody has done something notable, amusing, and/or helpful to the community. I don't know about admins, but I haven't seem them do anything with reputation one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KasperVld Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 The administrators get a rep power of 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAwer Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Thanks for the tips and info everyone!RepPower must be rounded up, because I have a power of 1 (And I'm sure that it's not that much). It looks like the rep give limit is 5 per 24 hours for me now, but it could be dynamic. If you go to Settings, you can see the Rep you've given (and maybe received too, but I don't know about that because I don't have any).

HafCoJoe Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 This was posted about half a year ago, but can someone please tell me exactly how the green bars work? I've heard that you get more bars for the amount of rep you receive. Is this true and how much reputation for each bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vexx32 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 100 per dark green bar (1-100 is one bar, 101-200 is two bars, etc.) up to 500, and from thence you gain a bright green bar every 200pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilfr3d Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Every one that has KSP should instantly get 5 bars of rep for supporting squad and buying their game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HafCoJoe Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Wow the reputation post has been here for a while . I also just realized I've actually been around for a bit now . The rep system is awesome! - I'd like to see a current mod list too though. Is there already a post of current mods somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
