The rep points scale. (Green dots)

[Kahns Krazy]

Stupid and trivial, but with the rep points continuing to grow and over 200 active posters "maxed out" on the green dots, is it even possible to revise the green dot scale? When I rep someone who is relatively new, I can add 4 green dots with one rep. That seems a little silly.

Sincerely,

Sadly, I am unable to rep you as I must spread it around.

[Muskie]

i can adjust the scale yes. Will I?

Perhaps...

[coasterville95]

I tok a gander at the vBulletin manual (it's onliine)

Not a in depth reading, just a scan over. I didn't see a setting for how many reps = 1 pip. But I found it curious the default factory reputation scale maxes out at 2,000. I think it's safe to assume there are several of us that have far exceeded that. (The scale controls the humurous little messages that appear when you hover over a users reputation), there appear to be a set number of tiers, but an admin can change the text of the message and the thresholds for each message. Don't know if that controls the reps/pips ratio)

As for our other common question, just how much spreading around do you have to do, thats an admin settable option. There is apparently a limit on how much repping you can do even if you do spread it around a lot (also selectable). (All ways to help prevent cheating)

As for how many rep points you giveth or taketh away from a user, it appears that board seniority (you earn X number of power points every Y days - admin settable) , post count (you earn X number of power points for every Y posts), and reputation received (you get X power points for every Y rep points) all factor in. Then certain user classes can be afforded a set power point bonus. A lot of settings options there. The gray dots as we have figured out come from users that haven't met the post count/rep count/seniority dats minimums, all admin selectable.

Seems like a heck of a lot of options for a fluff feature.


Are you an admitted Rep Wh___ if you look into how the Rep system works? If you want to play the game, you got to know the rules.

Yes, but the season to make the 2012 XH Madness bracket has just begun

[coasterville95]

Yes, but if we want XH Madness to be in February again (so it doesn't distract us from the real March Madness) then the teams, I mean posters, need ample time to assemble their 'body of work' to make their cases to the selection committee.

Speaking of - I got 25 rep points on the South Dakota State forum this week, can I claim those rep points as part of my Out of Conference Posting, uhm, I mean Scheduling.

But remember, MichiganMuskie is the commish for that, it's up to him to make the rules, and determines what passes the eye test for the selection committee.

I would like my 9 SDSU OOC Rep Points counted as well, darn it. Those JackRabbit points were tough to come by.

You mean all those hard earned points from the last month of avatars are going away and don't even count for the 2012 XHoops bracket? Little suckers didn't even help the teams in the end.

Ugh. I'm not even going to make the 2012 field. My best work comes in February/March after the field is set.

[Muskie]

Ha.... i hadn't considered the effect it would have on the 2012 Rep bracket.

Perhaps the dots change colors as you reach certain levels. Green to 1000, then yellow after that until 5000 until you reach 100000 when the dots turn Muskie blue.

I haven't quite worked out the dots.

I need a remedial course on the dots. What does it mean when you get a purple one?
Does it mean I'm an honorary member of Elder Nation? I knew Drudy would come thru.

[HuskyMuskie]

I wouldn't be for the resetting of the Reps, but I too need a course in the dot system. What's with the gray dots? And I haven't even seen the purple ones?

The idea of having something special for all you 10,000 plus guys seems like a good idea as well. But then again, I have never really figured out our rep system :cool:

[XUglow]

A log scale is the only way to go.

10 pts = 10 to 1st power = 1 dot
100 pts = 10 to the 2nd power = 2 dots
1000 pts = 10 to the 3rd power = 3 dots
10,000 pts = 10 to the 4th power = 4 dots
etc.

If someone gets past 10 dots on that scale, they will truly be the most fantastic poster ever.

I think longevity is important and we'd lose some of the value of that with a rep reset. I'd have the same rep as Complete Nutter.

Do Dots even come in blue?

[X-band '01]

Hmm - I am now a jewel in the rough again. It was shrewd of Muskie to reset some of the rep levels during the offseason instead of rep whore, err, basketball season.

[Kahns Krazy]

I just took LazelleDurden from 6 red dots to 6 green dots with a single rep. You should all bow before my insane rep power.

I will bow if you can move anyone to 12 green dots. Go for it.

[Kahns Krazy]

Just to check, I repped someone that only had one post. He went from the 1 started green dot to 8 dots. With great rep power comes great rep responsibility.

I got a whole lot from the famous poll I did in the X-Lounge. Other than that, I have occiasion funny posts. Also, I'm only a dick to people who deserve it.

Plus, I'm a raging rep whore. I have RTD's I'm such a rep whore. I have a scorching case of Hrepes.

I should also point out that because of my rep whoreness, when I return the rep, I give you more rep points than you gave me. I'm bringing you up with me.

[Xman95]

I got NKY and BBC. But Lucho and Kahns, the man wouldn't let me rep you. I tried though!

I repped everyone I could in this thread until it told me "you have given too much reputation in the last 24 hours". Don't be shy in reciprocating.

I can't believe that I have dropped to page 2 on the rep page. Starting an additional website has really cramped my style this year.

Somehow the people think that Fred Garvin deserves to be on the first Rep Page. Don't trust the people.

So true. We're all rep whores...however, BBC takes it down to a new, dirty low.

Fixed that for you. That avatar should never be on page 2.

[Snipe]

I get a fair amount of reps that say "Usually I hate your posts" or "I rarely agree with" and that sort of thing.

Turns out I was talking to my wife, and I may just be an asshole. I also think it may be genetic. I just can't help myself.

[XUOWNSUC]

I'm neg repping you as soon as the man will allow me - never got repped back. Weak.

You are all a bunch of whores.
I never have understood the complete rep thing and how it works.

I'm repping Glow for the avatar.
I sure hope the hell that's not a picture of his daughter or something.
I already made a mistake once and said something about another one of his pictures...only to learn later it was his daughter.
That's not good form at all.

[Kahns Krazy]

Wow! I feel sort of special. I just repped someone who only had three green boxes. Now they have the full bar. I didn't know I could do that. It felt good since it was a fellow lady poster!

[blobfan]

Using Tapatalk has interfered with my ability to spread the reps. I need to spend more time browsing from my computer.

This.

[muskiefan82]

I propose that Xavierhoops members who receive negative reps from people with negative rep points, receive positive rep points instead as their response or post obviously irritated someone who needs to be irritated.

[HuskyMuskie]

Under this new fancy layout I can't find my 'reps' anywhere--help a guy out?

[coasterville95]

Look in the upper right corner of the screen - a link labeled "Settings". That's where it is, but it does look a bit dfferent than before.

[muskienick]

I wanted to Rep Waggy for his recent post on the Kavanaugh thread. When clicking on the Rep icon, a box comes up but without any writing in it allowing me to select "I Approve" or without any space for me to include why I liked his post. I haven't changed any settings on my installed protections software and I haven't experienced this problem before.

Any hints how I can correct this problem?

[blobfan]

The box is telling you that in order to give reps you have to spread it around first. You can read the text by selecting the apparently blank area in the box which makes it white text with a blue background. For some reason it sometimes comes up as white text in a white box. I haven't figured out if it's an IE issue or if that happens in other browsers.
