Extended Reputation System

[Bob Hubbard]

3 major modifications:

In the USERCP
1: You can now see who you gave rep to.

2: You can see your Rep Power.


In posts, the members list, etc:

3: Now enjoy an extended display. This tweak extends the existing reputation display system from just the light/dark green pips to green and golden pips, and then golden stars as the pips limit is reached.

The dark green pips are followed by light green pips, which are then followed by 'golden' pips. When the limit these can display is reached, the display is prefixed by a golden Star, and started again. If your reputation is zero then the neutral grey pip is displayed. Negative reputations are displayed in a similar manner using light and dark red pips and stars.

Each time you 'lap' the limit of the pips display, another star is added. The number of stars in unlimited. The number and value of the pips in each group of pips is defined by six settings in the vboptions > reputation options. The supplied default values will display 5 dark green, 5 light green and 10 golden pips before a star is displayed. The golden pips kick in at 2,000 points and it takes 10,000 points to get a star (so 20,000 for two etc ...). A line break can be inserted after the stars.

So is there a value difference between dark green, light green, and golden, or just based only on how many and when received before color changes? Basically, are dark green and light green the same? (if being 5 each?) I'm sure you have a FAQ somewhere that explains this more.

Great idea. I like the new layout very much. Kudos, Bob.

I just noticed that either the new rep system or something else has caused the "art" bit of our profile displayed on each post to disappear entirely. I tried to reset it through my profile and it didn't work.

Please mention this in the post move problem thread. I had to set everything back to defaults, and missed that. Will readd it when I have a moment.

Looks good. This way, I can remember the rep that I gave to others.

BTW, some folks may have lost a few rep points during the transition, but as far as I am concerned, it all comes out in the wash. Helpful people will continue to get good marks, and trolls (whether inadvertant or deliberate) will continue to get thumped.

I like the new way you have it done.

[mantis]

what's ur rep power?

 

[Lisa]

what's ur rep power?

rep power is the amount of rep points you can give a person when you pos rep them for a post. Different people can give different amounts depending on their own rep and how long they have been a member and how many posts they have.
