I was referring to power of 10 per rating. I'm not sure how high it goes.
Actually if a normal member had a power of 10 then a negative vote from them will only remove 5. In the case your refering to an Admin has a power of 10 in both directions. Normal members however it will be half if they vote against your post :).
then I may have lost 2 last night? that's even worse!
still think negative should still be < 2 total
Wow....i have 5 reputation points and i dont think i have really helped anyone...
Everyone starts with 5 points. So if you have 5 then you havn't gotten any aditional points, and not lost any. When you get some you can can click the User CP link, and scrool down to the bottom, and you will see for what thread you got the point, and maybe even a comment.

Awwww
got excited for nothing
I personally feel that this is not a good idea. People will soon start repping each other in a bid to increase the little green bars under their user names.
However I am glad to know that the reps are disabled in the chit-chat section of the forum.
It is quite a novel concept....
i think it is quite a good idea...
The system could be cheated, but thats why we have the spread and if somethingQuote:

but not promoted, so it may just die off, too. at this rate, half of the people don't even know what the rating system is. I guess the book-keeping would get too out of hand if everybody voted 4 times per day.
It is so being promoted...You have it in your sig, so do I, in fact most regular members do.
You could always enlarge the font in your sig so it will stand out a little more.
It will pick up...I got 1 vote today, 0 yesterday and 0 the day before that...in fact, apart from today, the last time I got a vote was the 28th :( I suck.
You also have to remember that there are a regular few users who are here all the time, they know about the rating system, the other users come here on an unregular basis, and thus don't know about the rating system, same goes for noobs. The rating system, to be fair, has only been here for 2 weeks.
Woof
If you make quality posts and solve a problem for someone usually they are
so happy that they will give you a rep point without even asking. I got 10 points
while I was sleeping for my Change Shortcut Icon code I did for someone.
So it is working and will get better as time goes on.
Its really nice to get good fedback for helping someone. Makes it all
worthwhile. :thumb:
It must be nice. I only get one at a time, for helping one person at a time.
(also getting keylogger post moved from main sight.)
I got an idea. Don't let people know who repped them.
That will be good.
Or else folks won't give negative reps.
People don't know who repped them. You can only see the comment left.

The important thing is that we continue to help people. I hope the introdcution of reputations doesn't mean that new members don't have their posts answered, simply because they can't rate a post :(
David, well I got Reps from three poeople thats how I got the 10 points.
VisualAd, I dont think that will happen because I help several n00bs and they
do give Reps but for 0 points. After they do their 20 posts, if they have
another issue and I help them again I am sure they will remember the past
help and also it gets them used to giving Reps for good work.
So just because they can actually give a point greater then 0, its still a great
benefit to help someone new because they are usually the most greatful and
appreciative. I will help anyone regardless of their post count or tenure.
I think after a while more and more members will feels the same way.
:thumb:
I don't think its going to happen either as most regulars will help anyone regardless, I am just hoping that people don't neglect posts by new members because answering the post of a more regular member will get them more points.
Like you say though, we're a nice bunch. :wave:
What constitutes a positive rating is another issue in itelself. I wouldn't expect a rating for answering a question like how to I convert strings to integers and would only rate a post if I felt that it was original, helpful, promoted good techniques and standards and included an explanation of any code.
If their problem is big enough they will have 20 posts before the question is totaly solved. That happend me 3-4 days back, and I got a point. Havn't gotten any points after that though. But it still counts on your post count. So everyone should be happy no matter what. But I have to echo VisualAD though. It is importent to be nice and helpfull for new members too. THen they will stay here longer. And we won't start to cry if we get more members do we?
ØØ
I've gotten more black marks than red ones, but I guess they do remember you when they come back. They then give 1 point for your helping them twice. Too bad the black ones can't count after they become members.
The overall thing to remember about the Reputation points is that they are not
for us. They are to help "other" members know the quality of a response they may
get from you. :)
well, I don't know how you are doing it. you are amassing points faster than I've even seen. Good work. :wave:
My secrete? No secrete:I am actually surprised that I have received so many. Its really really nice to be able to receive a comment
- Just taking the time to read the question so I can answer it correctly.
- Specific, to the point detailed answers that are easy to understand.
- Posting code examples or links where appropriate.
- Remembering that Reputation points are not for my benefit, but for the benefit of other members.
by someone that show they really do appreciate my help. Usually the Thank Yous by them at the end of the thread
made it worth it, but now Reputation points are like the icing on the cake.
I like cake! :thumb:
You said it :DQuote:

I agree, but I've never gotten 15 points overnight, even when i've helped 30 people in one day! I'm glad someone is rating posts. Hopefully everyone will shortly.
I gave Rob a postive and my power as an Admin is 10. Another person whose power is 5 also gave him a positve so that accounts for the mystery. Now please can we leave this thread alone except for questions about the process?
It seems like the same people ask for help and get help from the same people, yet they can't give out ratings. Maybe I can send the messages forward to get points from a moderator? I haven't gotten a point since the 6th!Quote:
the policy is flawed... I tried to rate you and the box said I had to "spread some reputation around" ...which is crap because you really did help...that had me stumped...lol really, tkx again!
No moderator or admin is going to respond positively to such a request.Quote:

Thanks, Woka! But who is this RobDog666 guy? :p
Wow, I have never been first at anything.
Edit: I have another Q on this.
Can we have some kind of listing of who we gave out Rep points to? It would help to know how many more reps I need
to give to be able to cover the spreads for members. Something similar to our Rep point detail listing.
Also, could we make the comment mandetory to fill in?
