KasperVld Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Only an old one, I'll see if we can keep an up-to-date list around somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vexx32 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?Moderators? We have one (though it might be slightly out of date, not sure). We really ought to make a public one, though. Looks like Kasper's probably added it to his huge pile of stuff to do, though.

Red Iron Crown Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 The forum software can give you a list, and it's up to date since it polls the users' privileges. Under the menu bar, click "Quick Links" -> "View Site Leaders". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starstrider42 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Just noticed this thread. Can it be stickied (and/or maybe moved to the newbie forum)? I had to figure out everything in the OP for myself because I didn't realize there was a guide. Also, a request for rep-givers: PLEASE take a few seconds to write a comment/justification. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I'm pretty confused by some of the posts I've gotten rep for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps to know who is charge of who sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xaiier Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Thanks to the fact that I have been around for...as of today 2 years and 1 month, my rep power if not limited to 5 would be ~14, despite my meager performance in post count and rep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Iron Crown Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Heh, I just ran the rep calculation on myself and I can see why it's got an upper limit, some posters would have hugely disproportional rep power.Should really be inversely proportional to postcount, rep/postcount gives a good indicator of the signal to noise ratio of a poster.

Endersmens Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Up until February of this year, i had 3 posts. Then all of the sudden, posting became my life. and then i started randomly getting rep. which was an added bonus. guess i just say what the people wanna hear lol. Hey maybe i should run for president? (also, i have joined the "received super mod rep" club. WOO!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technicalfool Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 As much as I absolutely don't mind having lots of reputation power for doing nothing, I do wonder if that rep power equation isn't a little bass-ackward?Rep power increases just by being on the forum longer? I dunno, I'd think that you might actually decrease reputation power for people who have not been active in a long while. Or, at least, not increase it. Maybe freeze the rep power count somehow if a person is idle and does not log in for a week, and restart the timer when they log in again?That is of course, if the forum software allows you to make that kind of customisation. Not really played much with vBulletin myself. By "much" I mean "at all". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceBadger Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 That is of course, if the forum software allows you to make that kind of customisation. Not really played much with vBulletin myself. By "much" I mean "at all".Done a lot of coding for vBulletin, and really there are no real limits to the software, its all just PHP code in some fancy templates and you could really add, remove and change anything you would like.Things like pausing reputation gain would require a cron job, could just hook into one already there, and probably an entry or two in the database (time and date of pause to keep log of it) and then a few changes to the reputation.php file (this is the file that does all the math and such)As for what others have mentioned about the blips (the colored bar) an easy way to make it go up faster but also have more so it can go further is to do a kind of "prestige" to it, where when it fills up, change the blips color/shape or add a different 1st blip, and then just add more user titles in between (they could be the same titles repeated so lets say between 0-9 you have one more at 5 with the same name as at 0 to add one more blip. Though that is only one way of doing it, its an easy way of just manipulating the system already in place by vBulletin in stead of having to code something new.Source: Worked with vBulletin products and code before it had a number (back in 2000) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawelk198604 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I happened to get a few reputation points which tickled my pride and my ego But how do you reward other users who helped me, or whose comments I liked. What you need to click? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longbyte1 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I think reputation given should be part of the formula to some degree. (Maybe it is a bad idea, but I'll convince myself of that later.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenevB Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I think reputation given should be part of the formula to some degree. (Maybe it is a bad idea, but I'll convince myself of that later.)It's a bad idea, since (at least some) people will start to rep everything.

Kesa Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Reputation powerYour reputation power can be found with this formula:http://i.imgur.com/eVnsWPc.gif Don't if tthis formula has changed since or so, but it also seems that the minimum of reputation power is 1.Anyway, thanks!

RobotsAndSpaceships Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Also, when do the green bars start to increase in number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Iron Crown Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 One new bar per 100 rep points until 500 (the first light green bar), then one bar per 200 points after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
