View Full Version : [closed] more on the reputation system...

i've compiled answers to some common questions i've been asked:

general
===============
1. members can see their own reputation status - click on the 'scale' icon on one of your own post
2. members won't know the exact status of other members - they can only see how many green/red 'buttons' other members have - the more the better/worse
3. members can see the comments that other people left for them by going to their control panel - click on 'user cp' on the menu on the top of each page
4. members won't know who left the comments for them (so don't worry, if you like or don't lik a post, feel free to vote)
5. depending on certain criteria (e.g. post count, how long a member has been in the forum, current reputation status of member), the vote of a member carries different weight.
6. when the reputation status of a member goes below 0, the member cannot create new posts - however, the member can still post in existing threads
7. there is no distinction between a mod and a regular member as far as the reputation system is concerned
8. a member cannot continue to vote for another member. e.g. A votes for a post by B. A cannot vote for B until A votes for 20 other members.
9. members cannot vote for their own posts.

why?
====
why was this put in place? there are quite a few complaints by members about posts by other members. with this in place, you can leave positive or negative votes for individual posts by other members.

others
======
any other questions, please feel free to ask. i can see that quite a few people have already started voting.

yup...another Q from me...

I have a reputation which says, ur reputation on this post is even :blink:

~what i'm wondering is, how was it possible for someone to rate it as even, when there's just i agree/disagree comments (hhmm...unless 1 person gave 1 red box, which was balanced by an equivalent green box)
is that possible? :unsure:

~Why have a reputation system if the rating is EVEN??...haha :p

hmmm see if i can unswer u correctly or not....... mod please do correct me if i understand it wrongly....
ur reputation on this post is even means there is no votes on that post or if there is a vote on agree and disagree each. so it is even loh... when not even means there either the agree or disagree vote is higher than the other

hmm.... well different person have different strength of rating... if i voted agree on one post and KoChun Disagree on the same post it will favour more to KoChun vote cos his voting points are higher.... if not mistaken his one vote can make u gain 9 or even lose 9... hahahahaha so dun play play with him.. hahahahahahhaa.... u can check on daBoss explaination on this in Repo system (http://www.acs-sitiawan.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1780)

Vic, your explanations on the point is almost all correct. By the way, how you know my vote contributes 9 points? I am not sure about that.

daBoss
06-27-2005, 09:04 AM
lavanya,

you got an even vote because the person who gave you a vote did not have enough 'power' to give you any points (either positive or negative) yet. that's why its a grey box. :)

daBoss
06-27-2005, 09:19 AM
.... if not mistaken his one vote can make u gain 9 or even lose 9...
vicky boy, this is not correct... negative voting power is half of positive voting power...

e.g. kochun gives you a +ve vote now, you get 9 or 10 points... if he gives you a negative vote now, you get -4 or -5 points...

Voon Chan
06-29-2005, 05:18 PM

You've just asked a very good (but kind of funny) question. I am not too sure on this too, but I guess the answer is NO too. :)

Btw, it will only turn green when it is very angry. You wouldn't like me when I am angry. Sounds familiar?

kochun is right... the answer is NO...

1. if you have less than 50 posts, you can still vote but you vote won't count... the person you voted for can still see your comments though...
2. it's the same if you have less than 10 points - you can still vote but your vote won't count...

everyone starts with 10 points. if you have posted badly and have less than 10 points, your votes won't count against others even if you have more than 50 posts...

quick question on the reputation system: is there a way for a user to see the reputation points that they have given to folks, whether it be approve/disapprove? this will help, i think, because i've found myself unable to make changes to reputations because i have to do changes to more people's reputations before i can come back to that particular person. i totally understand why you have created the spreads, but can i see a record of the reputation changes i've made so i'll know how many other people's reps i have to "mess" with before i can come back to a particular user?

thanks! :)

It means you are colour blind. Muahahaha... just joking.

When a member with less than 50 posts casts a vote, that vote it insignificant. That's why you get a grey colour reputation vote. It does not matter whether it is a positive or negative vote, it will not count.

i know, it's tough when you need to spread the rep before repping the same person...
but that's it's not quite done to rep someone just for the sake of repping...

in my opinion, rep-worthy posts are posts that reflects well on the forummer, having made your day better, or making a strong point that you agree with, or having make an extra effort to make the forum a nicer place to be...

there's nothing wrong with repping your friends once in a while, but then it's not fair to others who have yet to find their clique in here...

you guys probably are thinking, "yeah well easy for you to say, you have high rep points and one of the top poster"... i can tell you, high rep and number of posting doesn't go hand in hand... in my case, it's quite accidental... it's the quality that counts...

same goes to neg repping... if someone has been offensive in any way, or you strongly disagree with what that person has been saying, then red rep as you wish... but again, this is not meant to be abused... say, if you have an arch enemy from school days in here, this is not the way to get your revenge!

all in all, i know there's no clear cut way of saying what's rep worthy or not... but please remember the focus of this forum is to interact, not to build a reputation... even without the points, people do form opinion of others and from there, a reputation within their mind...

any other queries, give me a holler... :)

Price of 4 is about 400 points.
For every 100, you get 1 extra "boobie".
The more "boobies" you get, means that you are a positive contributor to the forum and members recognize that. If people complain about you, and you get into the negative numbers, your boobie turn red and your ability to start a new thread gets revoked and you probably not liked in the forum.

Lil, well said. Mwl, I have a question on the bolded part abv. Are u saying that the repping system will only be fair if you have found your clique on the forum? So that your clique can green rep you and the others and it goes round and round and round.

May I suggest that the repping system name be change to Good Post or something like that so that ppl will know it is not a rat race but requires them to contribute positively to the Forum. A name that is linked to 'reputation' will always give the connotation as it is a rat race and there will be ppl whom will abuse the system.

Also I think it is a good idea for the Forum to have a tracking system of the green rep or otherwise they have given to ppl. This will enable forummers to track good contrbutions and those whom are just spamming or abusing it. Spreading ard the good posts or bad is good, otherwise, like you said, my arch enemy(althou I have none in the Forum yet as most of you do not really know who I am) in school will give me a red post everyday.

I personally don't think there's any big deal in the rep system. We are all in this forum to communicate and to have fun without needing to impress anyone. If you post with the sole purpose of fishing for votes, there will be a level of stress involved. And where there is stress, there will no longer be fun. When there's no more fun, I'll be outta here. :p .I know I am sometimes guilty of bribing people for votes, but it was spoken in jest!
I'm sure most of our workplaces are already stressful enough, can I request that we don't take ourselves so seriously here? This forum is where I take a respite from work.

I believe that in everything we do, being work or having fun, we have to do it with certain level/degree of seriousness. Even serious sleeping!!! ;) As the saying goes, when you play, play hard.

andrew, daboss and crew thought hard before implementing this system. it's not supposed to be a race, but a way for us to give each other feedback. an added layer. it's not supposed to be stressful - and is only as stressful as what you want to post in here.

the only time it actually affects anybody is if they have posted so many offensive things that their reputation is in the negative, and they lose the ability to post. it's a good way of self-control lah. the forum is not supposed to be stressful, it's supposed to be a place where we can gather and talk to each other, from juniors to seniors. but as in everything else, cannot simply post with impunity. not only the mods and admins are here, but all of the posts are read by members and sometimes non-members. what to remember is that we are supposed to have discussions amongst ourselves and have some fun in here - it's not a race of either post counts or reputation points, and moderation is key. don't lah just come in here just to collect reputation points - where is the fun in that? participation is reward in and of itself.

Some has PMed me to asked me to ignore these red reps as it means nothing. My replies to them I am taking the time and pains form my busy schedule to be on the Forum just bcos I am an xACSian. I have attributed my life and career to the roots that has brought me to where I am today. If my contributions to the Forum has at least affected other Forummers in anyway and offer a softer landing in this cruel global marketplace, then I have given back the least of what I have reaped.

I will continue to contribute to this excellent Forum as I see fit and if forummers are not happy with some honest, down to earth comments, please feel free to red rep me.

Thank you and cheers

alright people, can i be very frank here? if you think i may offend you, look away now!

first off, seriously, i can't understand all the fuss even after so much explanation given by admins/mods? we've tried to explain time after time, trying to emphasise the forum objective is interaction, not for reputation. (i probably am going to earn the reputation as forum bitch after this post, but what the heck!).

no one single system implemented is faultless, and same goes to reputation system. why are you guys stressed over it? it's not going to win you forummer of the year prize or anything like that! can we not move on from harping on the points?

so, someone red rep you? i've been red repped, it's really something nothing personal. someone just happen to disagree with you, and the moment would then have passed. leave that behind. harping over and over is not going to change anything. the rep has been given.

yeah, when you have a clique in the forum, it's probably facilitating to a certain extent, rep points padding. but not everyone do that so please do not go about thinking that this is what the practice is in the forum, because it is not.

and shirlene, i agree... perhaps it's time to do away with all the congratulatory threads. it's confusing, there's too many of it, and for those who have earned their reputation points (very fairly and totally justified), you know who you are and so give yourself a pat at the back. i hope you will understand this, right?

shall have a disccusion with the mods/admins about the congratulatory threads.

Odysseus
10-25-2005, 05:06 PM
Lilian,

On one hand I agree with your comment about the purpose of rep points and we should not allow it to distract us from the objective of the Forum.

On the other hand, the purpose of rep point is meant to reward good contribution to the Forum. For a newbie, rep points will lead him/her to good postings. They can look for postings by forummers with multiple boobies. So, the process of giving rep point has to be taken seriously. Else, it will be meaningless.

I have seen many forums where rep points are properly awarded and taken seriously. They are not given to cliques. People really earned it. If I were to search through the forum for the person's contribution, you can really find good stuff.

Well, that's my 2 sen worth of thought.

Shirlene, agree with u TOTALLY!
in racing for reputation points, forummers might loose focus on interacting..

SHIRL & LIL - i think tatz a great idea that the congratulatory threads shud be "dealt with"...coz in a way, these create more pressure for those who want to compete to achieve a higher rank in the forum :(
i know...tatz their problem, but just to prove that this reputation system isn;t so much of a big deal...lets scrape off these kind of threads in future.
even i myself didnt realize when i gained an extra boobie, till someone started congratulating...and then i go like "huh? oh ya hor..." and check User CP.

so the point i'm making is that without those trheads, even the person themselves might not realize...unless there've been keeping close tab on their points, ranking & reputation!

Da boss, what is your comment? Care to share... if u can
before we implemented the rep system, we discussed it thoroughly... a decision was made and that's it... shouldn't turn things off and on just like that...

in any event, my take is very simple...

it's there to allow self moderation - you don't like a post, you give it a red. if someone pisses off enough people with nonsense posts/threads, the person will be red soon enough and will not be able to start new threads. this allows members a chance to moderate the place instead of relying on mods/admins who always get the nasty job of telling people off.

believe me when i say that there has been enough confrontations between mods/admins and members. a mod gets enough complaints from other members and goes ahead to tell an offending member to stop doing certain things. it ends up with the mod/admin getting 'whacked' for no reason.

most of us have gotten reds (including me). it's the right of a member to give reds to other members. that's the way it is. if you don't like it, too bad... just ignore the system... don't go around posting and complaining that you get a red... you'll end up with more...

Song, it good to know that u r in agreement with what i said. If we agree that rep-point is an indicator for good posting. Then we should make it clear to members to objective of this forum and how and when a rep-point should be awarded. If they abuse the rep-point system, they are actually 'killing' the forum. It has to be self-regulated. Perhaps mods can also randomly check on rep-points collected.

And guess who is running in this FORUM? All of us right?

You know what? Everybody like to be praised but I don't give a damn about all this repo stuff but sometimes it's really funny how come the Admins and Mods could just allow so many (I mean sooooo many) thread congratulating people of how many greens (u guys called it boobies) in KPC thread? Why..and what for? :unsure:

p/s: No offence intended.

Waaaa.....kena kutuk giving people some freedom....Alka....why you so like that??? :blink: :confused:

Lava, you got to do it again. I have similar experienced and have lost 2 postings. Well, just re-post la..

Happened to me also, a few times esp. the long posts. To repost, flow of thots is lost. So I do it Words, then cut and paste.

Just my thought.
Initially, a lot of people was chasing the Green for repo in cluding myself

After much thought to it,
I realised that there is nothing you can do with the green
It will just hang around there

Just relax with the whole issue.
Dino is right.

If I don't like certain issues raise in the forum, there are 2 things I can do:
1) I don't read it; &
2) If I read, I just keep my opinion to myself because if I start posting on the issue, it may be offensive

Just my thought:)

Ok.....after much discussion with the mods, we have come to the conclusion that the reputation system stay and we do not want to hear anybody complaining about this anymore. We are all here to have fun and, speaking for myself, am tired of members whining over such things. We are all adults in here. From now on any threads open complaining about the reputation system will be closed/edited without any questions asked. If you still want to complain abou it, please PM any of the mods or admin. We will be glad to discuss with you about it if its a valid argument. I will leave this thread open for now and if there are more complaints, i will go ahead and closeout this thread. Thanks!

I would love to take this up with you personally at Hoxes Cafe :mad:
So, you want to stop all repo congratulatory threads? What about the congratulatory threads in reaching a certain number of posts? Shall we stop that too? Why not stop all welcoming threads too?
I will stop my argument here and will contact you to see if you would grant me an audience with you. No guns please, godfather. ;)

oopss...it happened again! is there a word limit to post? when its a short message no prob...bila panjang sikit, engine giving trouble lar.

leslie..since u asked...will try to recollect and post again ya.
i'm not complaining/whining...and neither am i spamming.
have to divide this post into 2 portions coz i realize when type too long, the page becomes "Not Responding". nope..not coz i type preview...anyway

this is coming from s1 who once started a thread to complain coz i "erupted"...this is my view on this system...pendapat je...just give it a thought...thanx.

My views...

1/ Its individual right to state their name or not...but plz dont abuse the system

2/ Green repos - there was a kindof competition to see how high a ranking one can achieve, among some forummers some time back. well, not to offend anyone...but came to be aware of some circulating PMS asking for repo to "help them out".
A reputation should be earned, not asked for :amazed: glad if ppl have come to realize that there's more to life than repos, like "connecting with people" :)

phew! got it thru at last...now comes rest of it...

3/ RED repos - if u want to be anonymous...suit urself. PLEASE leave a commet...one that isn't personally attacking/derogatory...but to state why & how the post has affected/offended u...so that the "receiver" can REFLECT & LEARN FROM THEIR "MISTAKES"
some might say..."duh, isnt it obvious this post def needs a reddie?" so why shud i comment...well well...imagine this, a RED & a GREEN repo given to the same post, within same day :sus: ...i'm not complaining, but then
We dont have telepathy! So as adults, we can alwayz leave a constructive comment, should u bother to take the time to red-repo...it'd just take a few extra seconds.

4/ ok...if at all SOMEONE is daring enuff & decides to LEAVE their identity along with a comment...it'd be nice if the "receiver" can be matured & gracious enuff to accept it...instead of balas dendam by giving the 'awarder' a red-repo..."an eye for an eye"??
...the world will go blind, if this' the attitude :( (any wonder why many red-repo givers remain anonymous?)
i'm sure acs didnt nurture us in that way...so lets start making our school proud by starting to act matured in our very own forum.

5/ Green or Red...should be (IMO) given to deserving POSTS, not just coz of returning s1's 'favour'/'punishment'...referring to green & red boxes here. i mean...the whole purpose is to identify good/bad posts...and make the poster AWARE OF IT, right? :noworry:
So lets make the purpose work! Jia Yu....

6/ MODs & ADMINs...they can be seen "giving gentle reminders" / "warnings" when we all sidetrack etc...lets not be abusive/'balas dendam'...they are doing their job.
Just think of it this way...wouldn't it be easier for them to just RED-REPO us for sidetracking and all the nonsense? Lets not add on to their headache.

Thank You!



btw andrew...i tried doing that too...in fact thatz wat i did just now. but when too long, sure some problem submitting that reply :confused:

Dino, the message that ppl are getting is that the mods are compromising on the purpose of repo. Instead of rectifying it, we chose to turn a blind eyes. Those who have spoken out are mainly trying to rectify it. Now, kena warning pulak.... Juz my 2 sen worth of opinion.

Juz my 2 sen worth of opinion.leslie, we are not compromising with anyone on this issue... we're just going to implement the system as it is...
this discussion is not going anywhere so we made a statement of our stand...
it is up to forummers to take part in rep system or not, so the choice is yours...

the warning is given purely because we have mentioned that this part of discussion is now closed...
and we don't want to be involved in further debate over an endless issue...
this thread discussion should now be directed for technical issues only... that's it...
