At the other forum at which I've seen it used, it was just an immature popularity contest with users whoring/trading for +rep.

Word.

Funny observation:

People who are posting in this thread have higher reps than average.

So, here I am.

What an interesting phenomenon....

I'm hoping we can hear Marwin or Ice chime in on the subject of the reputation system a little more soon enough.

It's just part of the staff's attempts to make the site more interactive and to try to help rank members by more than just post count.

Icemage · 05-26-2010, 10:18 PM

I don't care about the reputation thing one way or another, but I can't be the only one who thinks the Block O' Text under your username/avatar is ugly as sin.

Indeed.

Hey Stewie, how much are you paying people to rep you? I'll send you my PayPal address.

It seems that every time I see a Stewie post, his rep gets at least 1 higher.

His Paypal account must be on fire today!

That's because he posts & then goes back & rates it

Guess that's 50+

McCrutchy · 05-26-2010, 11:06 PM

So, is there a list or something we'll be able to see? Cause as of right now it seems you can't click on your score, but I wanted to see what others said/rated...

EDIT: Oh, you have to hunt for the rated posts. Will there be a way to show all your rated posts so that you don't have to hunt through to find out how you got your score?

Monkey · 05-26-2010, 11:15 PM

I only have 13 and I've posted quite a bit today

If enough of us team up we can take down Stewie and then distribute his points among the poor

Who wants in on this?

toef · 05-26-2010, 11:19 PM

The rep stuff I don't really like nor dislike. It's just there. Doesn't excite me, doesn't bother me.

What bothers me is now when I select several lines of text (say, when I'm editing a post I'm about to make), sometimes it's not very precise.

If I select more than a line or two, it might suddenly select several paragraphs, on its own. And a little magnifying glass pops up.

I'm on a Mac, using Snow Leopard. I don't know if this is a recent change within BD.com, or VBulletin in general. But it makes editing lengthy posts potentially frustrating. Doesn't happen 100% of the time though.

Iceman I am actually experiencing that very same problems that Toef is experiencing/describing as well. I use a Mac with snow Leopard as well.

PS: I was also asking earlier if there is a way to disable the Reputation function for us normal members.

I actually don't know who is rating me lately. But when I check them they keep sending me to different threads that I post in. With my latest is coming from Red Redemption movie (plus I notified the video gamers so I am guessing thats where the big bump came from).

Mayhaps it should be like rating a thread...you can only do it once per user?

Not once...wait a while...then can do it again.

Thoughts?

Yeah, I got one for ya. Pick a word, would ya? Maybe, or, perhaps, but not Mayhaps.

It's definitely going to take some getting used to for the new text under the avatars, but I like it so far.

Mayhaps is an actual word used by pirates. Diesel may be one.
