I can't help feeling I might be missing something but, when a user gives me rep I can't always be sure who it was. I can usually make an educated guess by checking the thread and/or what they've written but could we maybe have a column added to the 'Latest Reputation Received table to display this info.
Fair enough. That says it all really. :)
I have a question related to the topic.
How many posts do I have to rate before giving reputation to the same person?
That is one of the many things in the Reputations FAQ.
I haven't read the FAQs before, sorry!Quote:

I don't know what you mean by that I'm afraid!
I mean it should be less than 10... I don't rate 10 posts in a month, I know some people rate 6/day. so there must be an average to for that
In one of the other threads it was suggested that there be a time duration in addition to the "spread" of 10. So if you havent rep'd 10 members within a particular amount of time, it would allow you to Rep a member before reaching the 10.
However great this sounds, it is something we will have to wait for vBulletin to implement as its a very involved process that no Hack can perform.
Ok,
Thank you
If you find yourself "stuck" not able to rep somebody who has helped you, have a quick look around for other useful posts - there are many threads where people have posted useful things in response to a question.
This is what many of us do - I don't know if I've actually asked a question for myself since reps started, but have repped posts many times.
Or JPnyc either for that matter. ;)Quote:

We could, but we won't.
How about adding a checkbox - "Autometically add your username." (Default will be unchecked)
Many new members don't know that their username doesn't get added autometically.

And my brain brusts when someone comments like:

That would be difficult as it would require a hack of the PHP code. And you know the official position on Hacks* :)
*We make them super mods.
Then may be just a little reminder text ?
I guess you can do it without Hack.
Reminder text may be possible as that would be just a template change but this may break when we upgrade to vB 3.5 as the reputation box is moved from a popup window to its own page. I am not sure if it has an editable template in 3.0.x and if it does whether it would be compatible with the page in 3.5.x.
Darn, I am sooooo late :( I was going to make a similar joke, but now it has been used.Quote:

Reminder text isn't even really a hack since it doesn't alter functionality, and in truth this could be handled entirely clientside, however displaying usernames in reps is not something we wish to have. It will cause arguments for sure.
I'm sure it won't - CodeGuru has it (look at the picture).Quote:

@Visual: Have to call BS on that one. It was usernames that started an argue long before we knew what reps was. WHen everyone lost their user names after the big crash. :cry:
Incidents are exceptions and they will happen here and there time to time.Quote:

Just to be clear, does the 'retaliation' refer to positive or negative retaliation. ie is it a 'Oooh look XYZ123 gave me a good rep so I'll give him one back even though he doesn't really deserve it' or is it 'XYZ123 gave me a bad rep so I'm going to slander him all over the board and rack up some negative reps for him every time I get the chance'?
If it's the latter surely the ability to withold your user name for a given rep would be apropriate.

Both would happen. More "trading" (for the positives) and retaliation (for the negatives)...Quote:

So...
... and it actually happened ... wow ... thanks Brad. :thumb:
So it has!
Aww shucks :)
