lockedout Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Oooooh... I think I have 3 and apparently I am neutral!! (If I am reading it correctly). As I haven't been here very long, I will take that as a compliment. At least I don't appear to have upset anyone.... yet! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlt Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 In my (humble) opinion I think the fact that such a valuable resource as Pete provides earns him 38 points and the forum clown (well one of them) has 1207 points indicates how silly the reputation system is. Bring back the reddies, to balance the greenies, to show me up for what I am! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furnessvale Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I see on my Canal World Discussion Forums Profile that I have 31 "Reputation Points", which apparently is "Excellent". How are these points gained and what do they mean ? Pete, Thanks for bringing this up. I too had no idea what it was all about. I saw the number slowly rising and thought it was all about me keeping my nose clean. I have seen others "awarding a greenie". I always wondered what special position they held to have such powers and where the greenies went. Now I know.

Chris Pink Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 In my (humble) opinion I think the fact that such a valuable resource as Pete provides earns him 38 points and .... Completely agree. If anyone is feeling left out simply post insulting me (or a few choice others) and you're almost guaranteed to get a few. I see them as the equivalent of mob braying - switch on the parliament channel if you want to know what I mean. And you Mr Retired, I remember you got a fair few for taking a pop at me, just do it again if you fancy some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty Cal Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 The system was much more fun when you could have them knocked off for bad behaviour. Can we have that back? I dont like my "excellent" reputation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan_fincher Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 The system was much more fun when you could have them knocked off for bad behaviour. Can we have that back? I am reminded of when Sir Nibble attempted to earn as many negative points as he could in the minimum time possible. The fun went out of it when you started to be able to only give "positives". If anyone is feeling left out simply post insulting me (or a few choice others) and you're almost guaranteed to get a few. You are an idiot, Mr Pink.........

I dont like my "excellent" reputation 'Reputation' has nothing to do with greenies/points IAUI. An 'excellent' reputation simply means the mods have not issued you with any formal 'warnings' to stop contravening the forum guidelines recently.

An 'excellent' reputation simply means the mods have not issued you with any formal 'warnings' to stop contravening the forum guidelines recently. Nope the "reputaion" is based on number of greenies. Your warning status is a private matter between you and the mods and nobody has any indicator of it (except for one member whose status is uniquely made public for some reason).

An 'excellent' reputation simply means the mods have not issued you with any formal 'warnings' to stop contravening the forum guidelines recently. MtB Not that it matters one iota, of course, but I don't think so...... "Reputation Points" are what you get from being awarded "greenies" from posts - if your reputation points are 100, then you have been awarded 100 greenies. However just to confuse, if you look at your profile, you will see there is a separate concept of "reputation", which controls the rating you can get of up to 5 stars. This appears to be on the basis that if you want to you can go in and call up users and rate a user, rather than make awards for individual posts. (I assume you see an average based on all rating of you by others?). The "have I been warned by the mods" thing is something different again, but is neither "reputation points" nor "reputation", I think....

furnessvale Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 And you Mr Retired, I remember you got a fair few for taking a pop at me, just do it again if you fancy some more. Given that I had no knowledge of the system involved, you can be assured that I did not "take a pop" at you in order to gain points. The fact that I have the massive total of 38 points from 906 posts illustrates the futility of such action. However, you can be assured that I will continue to "take a pop", when I can be bothered, when you write drivel:-) George ex nb Alton retired 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
