Hmm, I'm gonna look into the rep thing. Someone's getting some rep so I can test it.... lol

Edit: You're hitting the little star at the bottom of the post right? If that's the case I can give rep out more than once, just not more than once to the same post.

[srboone]

That's what I'm hitting. I'll try it again.

Here's the message I get when I try to give someone a second rep point:

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to peteOcha again.

Also, Dan, is there a way to see the rep points we've given? I know how to check the one's I've received.

Must be a user group setting, as I just gave to you twice. I'll check it out, I'll also look into how to see rep points we've given. Although I'm thinking that's something you probably won't be able to see.

Do administrator reps point count for 10???? You just shot me up from 16 to 36!

[Dan Hocker]

Ok I found the setting. I switched down from 20 to 3. So you have to give to 3 other people before you can give to someone again. I've also changed some other settings around. The longer you've been a member, the more points your rep is worth. The more posts you have, the more points your rep is worth, the more rep you have, the more points your rep is worth. There's a couple other ones as well.

Yes apparently it does.

Let the fun commence!

Back to the topic at hand. Lets get some reputation level names as well. It should be a phrase that would fit well after "User is" so for example one of the current ones is (User is) on a distinguished road. I am looking for 3 negative reputation ones (-10, -50, and -100), one neutral reputation (0), and 11 positive (10, 50, 150, 250, 350, 450, 550, 650, 1000, 1500, and 2000). Again have fun with it.

User Is:

-10~ Traveling the Road Less Travelled
-50~ Dangerously close to the edge
-100~Falling from Grace

[srboone]

The User is:


50:" awake."
10: "responsive to external stimuli."
0: "in stable condition."
-10: "not responding to medication."
-50: "in a serious state of decline."
-100: "useful only for scientific experimentation."

I lost my inspiration for the medical analogy. But I'm still in an "inspired" mood!

[srboone]

The User is:

-100: “Forum Enemy #1!”
-50: “’Wanted’ for various forum offenses!”
-10: “getting a bad reputation!”
0: “fitting in nicely with the forum crowd!”
10: “beginning to get noticed!”
50: “making a name for him/herself!”
150: “distancing him/herself from the pack!”
250: "a standout on the forum!"
350: “setting the standard!”
450: “going the distance!”
550: “leading by example!”
650: “a shining example of forum spirit!”
1000: “raising the bar !”
1500: “striving for forum immortality!”
2000: “a standard bearer of the highest order!”

what's the plan for negative reputaion, Dan? What is given can be taken away?

Well reputation in and of itself doesn't actually effect anything, it's just for fun as far as I'm concerned. As I don't really plan on making it effect anything.

Edit: Worst comes to worst and someone is abusing it, I can take away said individuals ability to give out rep, and fix whoever's rep they messed with, with my super secret admin powers.

Thanks, just checking...when the forum first started and we all feeling things out, some of us stepped on a few toes (unintentionally, of course).
